Pop star Sarah Geronimo expressed how excited she is to be back on “The Voice” as a mentor in an interview last night.
“Para sa lahat ng mga aspiring singers na katulad ko, pinagdaanan ko din ‘yon, this is for them,” she told ABS-CBN News’ MJ Felipe.
Although there are some who doubt her credibility as a mentor, Geronimo does not plan on minding her critics.
“Everybody is parang nag-scrutinize, ‘Si Sarah, kaya niya ba mag-coach?’ So medyo may, ‘Shucks kailangan ko patunayan.’ Na-pressure din ako. Pero this time, ayaw ko masyado ma-pressure doon. Hindi natin matatanggal ‘yon. Gusto ko mag-focus sa talento talaga ng mga artists,” she said.
Sarah will return to the teens edition along with coaches Bamboo, Sharon Cuneta, and Lea Salonga. Winners that Sarah mentored previously include The Voice Kids Philippines season 1 winner Lyca Gairanod and The Voice Philippines season 2 winner Jason Dy.
“The Voice Teens Philippines” will be the second teenage edition of the show internationally – after Colombia – and the first in Asia. It is due to debut in the summer. “The Voice” franchise, which beganin Holland in 2010, arrived in the Philippines in 2013. Since then it has produced two regular seasons and three editions for children between the ages of 7 and 13.
