Sarah Geronimo records duet with Backstreet Boy Howie D

Fresh from a hugely-successful concert tour of Canada and the US, Sarah Geronimo stayed behind in LA to do the vocals for a duet with Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough in LA. The song, titled I’ll Be There and produced by Christian de Walden, will be included in Sarah’s latest CD which will be released in July. De Walden is the same guy who acted as go-between for Claire dela Fuente and Richard Carpenter for Claire to record the song Something in Your Eyes.

Howie D. reached worldwide fame as a member of the BSB along with AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson and Nick Carter. He is best known for his falsetto singing which is easily recognizable in hits like I Want It That Way, Drowning, The Perfect Fan and Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely.

He is the lead singer in the songs Spanish Eyes, What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful and How Did I Fall in Love with You. He is set to visit the Philippines in July to shoot a video with Sarah and promote the duet.

More awards for Sarah

Sarah Geronimo can already rest on her laurels, after all, at her age she has been collecting awards since the day she won the amateur singing contest that jumpstarted her career in show business.

Recently, she added several trophies to her collection of trophies and plaques.

The Viva singing star topped this year’s MYX Music Awards, bagging the Favorite Song Award for the Medwin Marfil’s “Ikaw,” from her all-original Filipino album, TakingFlight.

Sarah was also named Favorite Artist of the Year, Favorite Female Artist of the Year and MYX Celebrity VJ of the Year.

On top of that, Sarah was chosen Best Female Performer in the recently-concluded Guillermo Mendoza Awards. (Martin Nievera was Best Male Performer.)

Unfortunately, Sarah was not around to personally receive her harvest of awards. She is now in Canada on a concert tour with Rachelle Ann Go, Mark Bautista and Christian Bautista.

She had just performed in Winnipeg where fans packed the music hall.

Thanks to new technology however, the enterprising guys in MYX USA were able to videotape Sarah’s delivering her “thank you” speech.

There is no question that Sarah deserves the awards. She is one of a few artists who can draw a big crowd and fill up the Araneta Coliseum. Her last concert, Sarah Geronimo in Motion rocked the Big Dome and has been recorded for posterity on DVD.

Her fourth album, Taking Flight, also topped the music charts. Almost 500,000 have viewed her music video, “How Could You Say You Love Me,” on YouTube.

Reports have it that Sarah will stay behind in Los Angeles after the Champions tour to record a duet with a cute member of one of the biggest boy bands in pop music history. The song will be included in her new album for release in July, her birth month.
