Natakot ang Popstar na si Sarah Geronimo noong makarating sa kanya ang prediksyon ng kilalang manghuhula na si Madam Auring—malalaos raw siya sa taong 2008. Lalong kinabahan si Sarah nang malaman pa niya na nahulaan din ni Madam Auring ang pagbubuntis ni Jennylyn Mercado late last year.

“Uhm, whatever happens, alam ko na lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ko, kalooban ng Diyos. Basta ako, kailangang i-prepare ang sarili ko kung anuman ang mangyari. I’m doing all of these for my family. Kung malaos man o kung ano ang mangyari, okey lang,” ang pahayag ni Sarah sa presscon ng All 4 Love concert niya. Kasama sa conccert sina Erik Santos, Rachelle Ann Go at Christian Bautista sa Araneta Coliseum on February 13.

Pumasok din ba sa isip niya yung nasabing hula? Na baka mas maaga siyang malaos?

“Oo naman po. Everyday, talagang naiisip ko ‘yan. Actually, hindi ko iniisip na sikat ako. Sana huwag naman, kasi marami pa akong pangarap para sa pamilya ko, para sa sarili ko, so, sana huwag naman po’ng mangyari ‘yan," ang sagot ng young actress-singer.

Dugtong pa niya, “Uy, nakakatakot naman ’yan.”

Kasunod ng hula ni Madam Auring ang intrigang natabunan na raw si Sarah ng dating grand finalist sa Little Big Superstar na si Charice Pempengco.

Aniya, “Alam ninyo po si Charice, talagang ina-idolize ko siya. Nung malaman ko ang balita, nagulat po talaga ako. Mas na-inspire po ako. Talagang inspiration si Charice. Pero kita ninyo ang nangyari sa kanya, hindi man siya nanalo sa Little Big Superstar pero yun pala ang plano sa kanya ng Diyos.”

Nararamdaman ba niya na threat sa kanyang career si Charice?

“Sobrang proud po ako kay Charice. Mas na-inspire po ako sa kanya. Wala pong ganun na nate-threaten. Mas na-inspire ako sa kanya. Napanood ko yung Ellen [DeGeneres Show], talagang nakakapanindig-balahibo, lalo [noong] nag-standing ovation sa kanya ang mga Amerikano,” ang nakangiting sabi ni Sarah.

Sa reaksyon ni Sarah sa hula ni Madam Auring sa kanya, halatang hindi pa handa ang pop star na dumating ang panahong hindi na siya tangkilikin ng publiko.

“Naku, sana huwag po naman muna. Kasi nga po, hindi pa ako ready. Pero kung anuman ang mangyari, kailangan ko po yung tanggapin.”

May naisip na ba siyang alternatibo, just in case magkatotoo ang hula?

“S'yempre mag-aaral po ako ng mabuti at ang pagkanta, hindi ko pa ‘yan maiiwanan. Mahal na mahal ko ang pagkanta,” ang mabilis na sagot ni Sarah.

Nakaapekto raw ng malaki sa kasikatan ni Sarah ang madalas na pag-alis niya ng bansa. “ Uhm, siguro ano po, siguro po.”

Napabalita rin na aalis na si Sarah sa ABS-CBN, totoo ba?

Sagot niya, “Ay, hindi po totoo yun. Siyempre, nakakahiya po, kasi talagang ABS, binigyan ako ng malaking break. Pinagkatiwalaan nila ako, so, nakakahiya po na ganun ang gawin ko."

Ang Viva bigwig na si Vic del Rosario ang manager ni Sarah, hindi ang anak nito na si Veronique del Rosario na siyang namamahala ng Viva Artist Agency. Five years pa ang natitira sa 10-year contract ni Sarah with Viva. Umugong ang tsismis na ililipat na diumano ni Veronique ang talents nila from ABS-CBN to GMA-7.

Kahit hindi nais umalis ni Sarah sa ABS-CBN at ang manager naman niya ang magdesisyon, may magagawa kaya ang Popstar?

“Tingin ninyo po ba, dapat may say ako?” balik-tanong niya.

Tututol ba siya kapag inilipat siya?

“Hindi ko po alam, e. Pinagpapawisan na ako,” nakangiting sagot ni Sarah. "Hindi ko po alam pero sana huwag naman dumating sa point na ganun kasi napakaganda naman pong mag-build up ng artista ng ABS-CBN. So, malayo naman po mangyari ang ganun.”

Bukod sa malaking Valentine concert nila nina Erik, Rachelle at Christian sa Big Dome on February 13, produced by ASAP Live at Viva, wala pang alam si Sarah kung ano ang susunod na project niya sa ABS-CBN.

“Wala po muna. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko. Siguro pahinga po muna at saka tamang konspeto, bagong istorya. Siguro...sana po matuloy yung movie [with John Lloyd Cruz]. Talagang sinisiguro po nila para hindi nakakatakot. Hopefully, mag-start na kami ng shooting. Sana ngayong February. Co-production po ng Star Cinema at Viva Films,” pagtatapos ni Sarah.

Charice Pempengco in a Record Deal with Clive Davis

Charice Pempengco in a Record Deal with Clive Davis

Charice Pempengco, the 15-year-old singing sensation who recently wowed audiences at the Ellen DeGeneres’ TV show, is reportedly in talks with no less than the legendary music producer Clive Davis.

Philippine News learned that Pempengco arrived in New York recently and is waxing a recording deal with Davis, the record producer who is behind the careers of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake, just to name a few.

“I am so proud to be behind the launching of the musical career of Charice,” TV host Ellen DeGeneres told us after we bumped into her during a Golden Globes screening of “Juno” and afterparty with Fox co-chair Tom Rothman and his wife, Jessica.

DeGeneres also told us that she is planning to invite Pempengco again on the show. “I definitely want to see her again perform on the show,” she said.

In last month’s show, Pempengco garnered two standing ovations from the Ellen DeGeneres TV audiences after she performed “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from the Broadway musical sensation “Dreamgirls” and Whitney Houston’s hit, “I Will Always Love You.”

DeGeneres, who discovered Pempengco after watching a video clip of her in YouTube after FalseVoice channel posted Pempengco’s Little Big Star performance of Whitney Houston’s hit, “I Will Always Love You.”

The petite teenager’s unbelievable booming vocals and very professional showmanship impressed the TV host so much that after showing it on her show, she publicly invited Pempengco to come to the U.S. and guest on her show.
Pempengco controlled the stage like a pro, even throwing the mike in mid air like professional juggler, and singing her lungs out just like her favorite singers Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Beyonce and Mariah Carey.

Dressed in a black long-sleeved top, black mini skirt with black tights and a G clef silver necklace, Pempengco was a sight to behold.

The charming YouTube sensation from Cabuyao, Laguna, who has been joining singing contests since she was 7, arrived in the U.S. for the first time to appear on DeGeneres’ show.

During the show, Pempengco admitted that she was both nervous and excited to be in the U.S. for the first time and to meet Ellen DeGeneres. When the two met, DeGeneres could not contain her excitement as well to have the singing sensation from the Philippines in her show that she reportedly did not stay in her dressing room during rehearsals that she usually does but watched Pempengco practice.

When DeGeneres learned that Pempengco lost her Ipod during her 13-hour trip to Los Angeles from the Philippines, DeGeneres immediately gifted her with a new one to which a surprised, teary-eyed but very grateful Pempengco accepted the gift graciously as she covered her face in disbelief, jumped up and down, became speechless and finally repeatedly hugged and kissed DeGeneres.

While in Los Angeles, Pempengco met with music producer David Foster but details of the said meeting are still unknown as of this time. Pempengco was also reportedly scheduled to perform live on Jan. 14 at BET’s 106 & Park which is BET’s number one rated show on their network and the number one ranked music video show in the world.

Pempengco, whose full name is Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, was born on May 10, 1993 in Cabuyao, Laguna.

A student of Gulod National High School, Pempengco also names Regine Velasquez, Sarah Geronimo, Martin Nievera and Lani Misalucha as her favorite Filipino singers.

During her performance at the Ellen DeGeneres show, she told DeGeneres that she got her vocal talents from her parents who are both good singers, she said. She revealed that she has been singing since she was 4.

Pempengco, whose nickname is “Cha,” became known in the Philippines when she started to join the Little Big Star singing competition when she was only 12. Although she landed only on the third place, Pempengco became an overnight celebrity when her video clip of her performance of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You” was posted in YouTube.

Another video of her singing a duet with America’s Got Talent winner, Bianca Ryan, impressed Ten Songs Productions, a production company in Sweden. Pempengco then traveled to Stockholm in June 2007 and recorded seven songs but there is still no word on when the album will be released.

Before her U.S. trip, Pempengco was also invited to South Korea by Seoul Broadcasting System in October 2007 where she performed in the talent show, Star King. As usual, the audiences were floored by her performance of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” She also sang the Alladin song, “A Whole New World,” with Korean singer Cho Kyu Hyun of Super Junior. This video was also posted on YouTube.

Pempengco did not escape the attention of Martin Nievera who invited her as well to sing in one of his concerts on December 2007 where they sang a duet, “The Prayer,” and then did a solo, “One Moment in Time.”

After her Ellen DeGeneres show, Pempengco flew back to Korea to tape a performance for Star King again this time singing “I Will Survive” and a duet with popular Korean singer Lena Park. They sang “I Will Always Love You.” The segment was aired by Seoul Broadcasting System last December 29.

For sure, 2008 is Charice Pempengco’s one moment in time where everything is just beginning.
