David Foster: 'Charice and Sarah would be great together'
MANILA, Philippines – International composer David Foster said it would be great if Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo and international singing sensation Charice would do a project together.
In an interview with ABS-CBN North America Bureau during the grand launching of Vicki Belo’s first clinic in the US, Foster said he finds Geronimo amazing.
“I love Sarah. Sarah's amazing and I think the two of them would be great together. I was in the Philippines and I wanted Sarah to come sing with me but she wasn't available and I'd love to meet her someday,” he said.
Reports said Geronimo is working with a coach who is a friend of Foster. This fueled speculations that she will soon team up with Foster’s protege Charice.
Foster, however, revealed that he has not made contact with Geronimo yet, but he is open to working with her.
Meanwhile, the renowned composer gave an update about Charice.
“She's working with some young producers, and I'm monitoring from the 30,000-foot level. She's 18 now, she's got her own voice, she's got her own mind, and she's going to do great,” he said. – Report from Steve Angeles, ABS-CBN North America Bureau
Sarah Fans in Fantasy Land
@nardz2k3 Your Quote -> "We'll soon find out if Charice will face up to a real singer at this point!"

What planet are you living on? Charice, sang with Celine. Her vocal talents have been endorsed by DF, Bocelli, Whitney, Mariah, Josh Groban, Patti LaBelle, Ryan Murphy, the Glee cast - the list goes on and on. As for dancing, it is a known fact that certain well known choreographers were impressed with Charice's natural abilities. What major notable professionals have endorsed Sarah's talents?
The question that remains to be seen is if after her one month stint, will Sarah be able to hold her own (both vocally and dance-wise)with Charice if the song is a duet? I have seen your Sarah on youtube and sorry but she is nothing great. Her talent does not captivate. If it did, she would have already been discovered. The latter is the truth and you know it.
It truly boggles the mind why some of you Filipinos refuse to accept Charice's extraordinary talents. FYI: We in the west laugh at your ignorance and what your fellow Filipinos refer to as "Crab in the Basket" mentality.
Btw: Food for thought. If Sarah's talents are so great, why was she told to take vocal lessons and dance lessons for one month? Gee could it be because she was lacking in those depts? A lot of you Sarah fans truly live in "lala land."
Charice continues to shine well yet ramains humble and grounded

Hey nardz2k3, wake up! Can't you remember? Charice has sung toe-to-toe with Celine Dion, considered by many as one of the greatest divas in international music industry. Charice has performed with other great international artists as well. Yet you're having second thoughts if Charice will face up to a lesser local artist? You're calling Sarah G the real singer yet she's not even nowhere to Celine Dion's level? Charice is not competing with Sarah but Charice is never afraid to sing and collaborate with Sarah or with any other artist. If you'll try to search the net you'll find that Charice has already performed with those local artists you mentioned, with the exception for Regine Velasquez probably because of that supposed concert duet of theirs that was not pushed through. Proof that she's not competing with Sarah, she's even planning on producing a music for Sarah. You and the rest of your co-Sarah fans should be thankful that Charice's mentor David Foster has finally agreed to Charice's request to pay attention to some of our local talents. Charice has long done her part in promoting our local artists to David Foster. Proof of this can be search on the net. If not because of Charice's plea to his mentor, this kind of news for Sarah would have not appeared. And yet Sarah fans are still bashing on Charice. Some of Sarah's fans have even gone to labeling Charice as swelled-headed or pridefull, or arrogant while Charice on the other hand has never forgotten her roots, the reason that she's longing for her compatriot artists from her home country to have a shot in the international music scene like her. Nardz2k3, make your facts straight because I have made mine true. You can find them on the net for proofs (well, if you would search for it tirelessly.) And finally, of course, it is expected that you will never find and consider Charice as an excellent artist because your fanatism has glued to your idol only. As a Sarah fanatic you would always see the negative sides of other artists that have posed competition to your idol. Likewise the same case with Charice's fans can be said. That no matter how good you say Sarah is, she will always appear as lousy and pathetic low-class local artist in the eyes of Charice's die-hard fans. So, we're even now.
You're dreaming, my boy!
Toe-to-toe with Celine Dion? Wow, you have such great imagination, Catholic2000! Ms. Dion was simply humoring Charice, and in the process, please David Foster a bit! Charice couldn't hold a candle for Ms. Dion!
And did I ever say glowing words about Sarah? Again, it's your over-active imagination at work, my boy! Not a word for Sarah from me; you were just thinking it! 'Nuff said, Charice-Obsessor!
Go for it Sarah!
yan ang mga dapat na news kay Sarah. hindi yung pilit na ikinakabit sa kanya ang mga gawa-gawang issue nung talent ng Star Power na hirap na hirap na pasikatin ng ABS-CBN kaya pilit na ginagawan ng issue at Sarah's expense pa. me talent naman bakit hindi na lang hintayin na mapansin ng tao. pinalalabas pang masama si Sarah kung hindi sya pansinin. dapat lang naman kasi ramdam naman ni Sarah na ginagamit lang sya, di nga lang sya makapalag dahil me pressure coming from the network na nagpupumilit pasikatin ang winner ng kanilang talent search para nga naman me ma icredit sa show nila.
They might be good together, but will Charice do it?
We'll soon find out if Charice will face up to a real singer at this point!
David Foster might be right that Charice and Sarah would be good together, but will Charice do it? She wouldn't even perform nor share the stage with the likes of Sarah Geronimo, Regine Velasquez, Lea Salonga, Kuh Ledesma, Zsa Zsa Padilla, etc.
Takot malampaso! Because all she has is a singing voice, but no style and no presence!
