That Martin-Sarah magic
It’s easy to think Martin Nievera looks at Sarah Geronimo as the daughter he wish he had. He dreams big for her. And he thinks she can do no wrong.
"Sarah is very talented. She has a great sense of humor, humility and responsibility," he gushes. "I can actually be her dad."
Martin is referring to the fact that his two sons, Robin and Ram, happen to be Sarah’s age.
Now that they’re paired together for the first time in the Valentine concert "What Love Is" on Saturday, Feb. 12, 8 p.m. at the Araneta Coliseum, Martin can’t contain his excitement.
"It’s another beautiful challenge in my career," he relates. "I’m really preparing for this."
The Concert King is studying The Pop Princess’ repertoire and figuring out which of her songs he can sing during the show. A Justin Bieber, he muses, won’t be that bad. Just don’t make him dance, Martin goes on. His younger, more agile co-performer can do that.
Sarah, on the other hand, listens to everything "Sir Martin" tells her. If Martin wants her to do a Michael Buble, "Be My Lady" and all those ballads he’s known for, she will.
She nods when Martin said she would do well to perform with the orchestra "to take her craft to the next level."
He is, after all, someone she looks up to, not only as a singer, but as a person.
Discover the Martin-Sarah magic even more in "What Love Is," directed by Rowell Santiago and produced by Viva Concerts with Louie Ocampo as musical director.
After the concert, Sarah will continue doing her album under Viva and now doing "Just the Way You Are," tentative title of her movie with Gerald Anderson and Matteo Guidecelli. It is slated for a March playdate.
Tickets to "What Love Is" are priced at P4,000 (Patron A), P3,500 (Patron B and Lower Box), P1,500 (Upper Box A), P1,000 (Upper Box B) and P400 (General Admission). For details, call Viva Concerts at 687-7236 or Ticketnet at 911-5555.
