Danny Tan's Throwback #175
Julie Anne San Jose, Rita Daniela, Vanessa Rangadhol, Pocholo Bismonte and Renzo Almario received a very warm applause for this performance of I BELIEVE I CAN FLY in one of SUGARPOP's earlier appearances on SOP in 2007. Impressed with this performance, Ms. Wilma Galvante and Ms. Darling de Jesus-Bodegon sent SugarPop to represent GMA Network Inc. to an award-giving event at the University of Santo Tomas (UST). The crowd greeted SugarPop with rapturous applause. They could not believe that this group of pre-teens could harmonize and belt "I Believe I Can Fly" with such aplomb!
I BELIEVE I CAN FLY - 2007
SUGARPOP
Vocal Arranger: Danny Tan
BACKSTORY. After the Grand Finals of Pop Star Kids Season 1, I aspired to prolong the careers of the four losing finalists - Julie Anne, Vanessa, Renzo and Pocholo. I was convinced that it would be just a waste of their talents if I left them alone to fend for themselves. I broached the idea of forming a teen singing group (to also include the Grand Prize winner - Rita Daniela Iringan) with Ms. Wilma Galvante. She gave me permission and entrusted me with full artistic control over the group. I asked Ms. JAYA to help me think of a suitable name. She came up with SUGARPOP! I loved it! I asked Ms. Darling de Jesus-Bodegon to consider adding SugarPop to the roster of SOP's talented performers. At that time, Ms. Darling was forming an all girl trio and an all male quartet for a new musical segment on SOP. A teen group (SugarPop) would be a perfect fit for La Diva and You've Got Male. The rest is history: Three Of A Kind musical segment became an instant hit!
Thank you MS. GIGI SANTIAGO-LARA for asking me to be the Musical Director and Audition Master of POP STAR KIDS! Thank you Ms. Jocelyn Ariño Zielinski for your patience and support! I am forever grateful for your trust and friendship!
