Sarah Geronimo concert chronology

This 15 Me was a promotional world tour by Filipino singer Sarah Geronimo, held in support of her thirteenth studio album of the same name. The tour also commemorated Geronimo’s fifteenth anniversary in the Philippine entertainment industry. It commenced with a sold-out concert in Manila, which reportedly set the record for the highest-grossing local concert in the history of the Smart Araneta Coliseum.[1][2][3] In August 2019, Netflix acquired the rights to stream the concert film, making Geronimo the first Filipino artist to have a concert film featured on the platform. The tour’s setlist included several songs from the This 15 Me album, such as “Sandata,” “Ganito,” and “Duyan.” The Cebu leg of the tour was purchased by the BPO company Convergys as part of its "Made by You" 15th anniversary concert series. In other locations, including international and regional stops, the show was alternatively billed as Sarah G Live! This 15 Me or simply Sarah G Live![4][5]

Development

The tour was organized to commemorate Geronimo’s fifteenth year in the entertainment industry, which began in 2002 when she joined and ultimately won the television singing competition Star for a Night. Her victory launched a successful music and acting career that established her as one of the Philippines' top performers.The concert was officially announced on February 1, 2018, shortly before the surprise release of her thirteenth studio album, This 15 Me. Additional tour dates were announced during the Manila concert.[6]

Background

The Manila concert featured guest performances by James Reid, Xian Lim, Billy Crawford, Mark Bautista, and Daniel Padilla, who joined Geronimo during the three-hour show. Ronnie Liang and Sam Concepcion later appeared in other Philippine and international tour dates.

During the Manila leg, Geronimo's fanbase, known as the "Popsters," surprised the singer by illuminating the arena with red lights. A similar fan-led tribute had first been organized during her 2015 concert From the Top, making Geronimo the first local artist to receive such a coordinated audience gesture.[7]

Reception

Despite having less promotion, the concert managed to set a new record for Geronimo. As an addition to her record as the youngest solo artist to hold a show in Smart Araneta at the age of 16, Geronimo with her This 15 Me Concert broke the record for the Highest Grossing Local Concert in History. The hashtag #SarahGeronioThis15MeConcert trended on Twitter Philippines at number one on the day of the concert with over 200,000 tweets. Various recorded performances from the said show also landed on YouTube Philippines trends including her performances for Dulo, Tala, I Have Nothing and I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing while her take for the dance challenge Dame tu Cosita went viral on social media platforms Facebook and Twitter.

Critical reception

Manila

Writing for ABS-CBN News, Sheila Reyes said that there was never a dull moment during the show and the momentum was kept up throughout the night.[8] Allan Policarpio of Inquirer.net praised Geronimo's birit-medley number saying "Just because she doesn’t do it as much doesn’t mean she can’t handle big diva songs anymore. She sounded solid in Natural Woman And in I Have Nothing."[9] "Sarah proves (as if we had any doubt) that she's the country's popstar princess" Rappler.com said.[10]

Dubai

Chris Newbould from The National reviewed the show, praising Geronimo's talent and despising the event's support acts and commercialism probably due to Geronimo's constant pauses to thank the myriad sponsors and producer, "Geronimo rescues a strange evening" Newbould said. He also shared his disappointment on Geronimo not singing her songs from the film Miss Granny which was recently shown in Dubai.[11]

Film

Streaming platform Netflix acquired the rights to screen the concert film which was recorded in Manila. The rockumentary was tagged as Netflix Originals, making Geronimo the first Asian artist to have an original concert film available for streaming on the said platform. It became available on August 23, 2019.[12] The show is Directed by long time creative collaborator of Sarah, Director Paul Alexei Basinillo.
