DIVAs' Weekend v.3

Filed under Sharon Cuneta | Television


Last night, I saw a special episode of my Mega idol's show Sharon wherein her guest was no other than Asia's Songbird, Regine Velasquez (another favorite of mine). I have been waiting for this episode to be aired since I knew that they have taped this more than a month ago (even before the 'Sharon' taping that I had the privilege of going to). The episode was made even more special by the fact that Regine is celebrating her 20th year in showbusiness.

It was such a treat to see these 2 amazing women together on one stage. Sharon opened the show by singing Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigan Ka where she was later joined by Regine. As Sharon's way of paying tribute to Regine's 20 succesful years as the country's premier diva, several other Regine hits were sung throughout the show with some short interviews with her and those who have known her even before she became famous.

The highlight of the show was when Regine turned the tables on the Megastar by saying that it was Sharon who inspired her to dream of becoming a singer (the first song she ever memorized was Mega's classic hit, Mr. DJ). She then began her own song tribute to Sharon by doing a medley of Mr. DJ, Dear Heart, P.S. I Love You and Kahapon Lamang. As expected, Sharon was unable to hold back tears as she listened to Regine while watching a video montage of her early movies .

I've already heard of this medley performed by Regine in her concert that I saw last year and I remember being moved by it back then. But witnessing Regine on TV reprising the number for the benefit of OUR idol, I found myself crying along yet again.

If only Sharon's show was longer than an hour, she would have had more time to interview Regine and do more duets with her. That would have made the night much more wonderful (not that it wasn't amazing enough!). But so far, this has been the best Sharon episode yet!
