Matteo’s presence is a welcome development in a Sarah G show because it’s something you couldn’t imagine happening before the couple finally found a way to tie the knot on Feb. 20 last year.Unlike Regine Velasquez, who dazzled viewers with one lung-busting number after another in her own virtual “Freedom” concert last February, Sarah chose a repertoire of songs that were part and parcel of her Popstar-shaping journey after she decided to shift musical gears.
To do this, she judiciously and quite cleverly moved away from the “birit” numbers—remember “Forever’s Not Enough,” “To Love You More” and “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” all from the 2003 collection “Popstar: A Dream Come True” album?—that helped speed up her ascent to superstardom after winning “Star for a Night” 19 years ago.
While a non-“birit” repertoire lacks the urgency and ability to knock stratospheric notes out of the ballpark, it nevertheless shifts viewers’ attention to the singer’s other strong attributes, like her hefty middle and low registers, as well as her ability to tell a story—and that’s all to the good, because belting isn’t the be-all and end-all of musical performances.
Like clockwork, the concert also had what felt like perfunctory tributes to her family, although there was something that felt half-hearted about them. But the segment involving her gorgeous canine babies, by way of her rendition of Rico Blanco’s “Your Universe,” shows a nurturing side of Sarah we don’t often get to see in public.Don’t get us wrong.
Even more irresistible was her catchy cover of BTS’ ubiquitous “Dynamite,” this time framing it with eye-popping colors and visuals and imbuing its hook-heavy, ’80s-channeling allure with an effervescent glow. If Sarah really wanted a feel-good show to boost viewers’ spirits in these dark and difficult times, it would be hard to think of anything—or anyone—that can top this.
