Alam nating lahat na magkaribal sa popularity si Pops Fernandez at Megastar Sharon Cuneta. Pero sa Valentine concert ng megastar, nagharap ang dalawa. Ahahay.

Ito ang balita ni Leah Salterio galing sa Philstar.
For the first time, Sharon shared the stage with Pops Fernandez, her special guest that night whom she selflessly introduced as "the one and only concert queen." Pops instantly revved up the crowd with her dance medley that included ditties like Break Out, Locomotion, That’s the Way It Is, Dancing Queen and Walking on Sunshine. She worked the stage that is definitely all too familiar to her, having staged successful solo concerts, too, at the Big Dome.

When they were finally together on stage, Sharon surprised Pops with a personal letter that interestingly detailed how they were born on the same year, grew up together, attended the same parties and went to the same school, but never went beyond friends. As Sharon was reading her note to Pops, photos of their childhood and teenage years were flashed on the giant screen at the upper right side of the coliseum. It was truly a surprise that made Pops cry.

More amusingly, they traded anecdotes on stage so comfortably like they were just in a talk show. For a moment, one thought the two stars were probably oblivious of the huge crowd before them and simply kept on ranting about their lives, including their respective failed marriages.

Sharon said she is honored to perform on the same stage with Pops, whom she treated as "concert royalty." Together, they carried out saccharine ballads — Something New in My Life, How Do You Keep the Music Playing, Almost Over You, I Honestly Love You and The Promise. Later on in the show, Sharon and Pops dished out a vocally challenging duet, Whitney Houston’s On My Own.


O di va ang saya-saya. Dapat pamarisan si Ate Shawie nang ibang mga artista na habang nagkakaedad ay lalong nagiging popular dahil sa magaganda niyang ginagawa.

Sharonian forever.
