Sharon Cuneta @ Star Power

Aside from running a busy household which includes raising her two younger daughters Frankie and Miel, Megastar Sharon Cuneta is also busy gearing up for three new exciting shows. One of these is the newest talent search called "Star Power" which is set to premiere on October 10. Although her hectic work schedule is a pace she has grown to adapt to over the years, Sharon says she still feels lucky that her family is very understanding, especially when she’s starting new projects.

Sharon plays multiple roles in the show: host, judge, and mentor. She admits it was not easy to find potential stars that could embody everything she was looking for. She doesn’t have to be a genius, but she has to have a good mind, she has to have talent, she has to know how to stand in front of an audience and perform humbly. Sharon says the show hopes to develop the young hopefuls to their full potential and help develop them into genuine artists.

Sharon also stressed that it’s not just important for the Star Power contestants to have talent, but they should try to have originality as well. Contestants may all want to sound like Sarah (Geronimo) or Regine (Velasquez) or Celine (Dion) and it’s fantastic but they also have to develop their own style. We want them to keep what they already have, but also to develop something else that can be truly called their own.

As a judge, Sharon says she doesn’t see the need to be too harsh to be effective. She's not going to ruin someone’s spirit just for the ratings but she will certainly put people in their place if they need it, like a mother. According to Garlic Garcia, head writer of Star Power, the Megastar will show the audience a more personal side in the show. Helping the megastar in hosting Star Power are two products of reality singing contests themselves: Christian Bautista and Erik Santos.
