Sarah Geronimo proves to be one of the most admired singers of her generation.
The country's Pop Star princess received an early birthday gift (she will turn 24 on July 25) when she was named by a kids channel as its favorite singer.
In Cartoon Network's "New Generations 2012" survey, Sarah claimed 17 percent approval rating from children aged seven to 14, besting fellow Kapamilya star and international sensation Charice and Canadian superstar Justin Bieber, who tied in second place.
Country singer Taylor Swift and half-Filipino singer-songwriter Bruno Mars placed fourth and fifth, respectively.
According to a release, "New Generations 2012" study looked into the diverse choices and lifestyles of Filipino kids from various socio-economic classes. Cartoon Network did a face-to-face interview survey with participating children in Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao. Children from the A, B, C and D markets were tapped.
Currently, the singer-actress is gearing for a birthday concert, "Sarah Geronimo 24/SG," to be held at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum on July 7 (with a repeat on July 21). After the concert, Sarah will be working on her third film with John Lloyd Cruz.
Beyoncé Of The Philippines
It is no secret to many that one of Sarah's major influences in music is former Destiny's Child member Beyoncé Knowles, this after covering countless singles of the American pop and R&B singer in the past. As expected, Sarah will cover Beyoncé hit singles during her concert.
Being compared to her idol humbles Sarah, although she shares that she is far from Beyoncé's achievements.
"'Pag may ganoong compliment naman, natutuwa ako. Naa-appreciate ko naman po 'yun, pero naku, napaka-walang-wala [ako compared to Beyoncé]," she said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
"Lahat naman tayo idol natin si Beyoncé. Ma-achieve lang natin ang kahit 10 percent ng galing niya, okay na ako," added Sarah, who has been identified with Beyoncé's vocal and dance moves over the years.
On top of her "Sarah G. Live" weekly musical variety show on ABS-CBN, one of Sarah's main goals is to become a total performer like her idol.
