Fresh from her win in the 43rd Box Office Entertainment Awards as the Most Promising Female Singer/Performer, bumisita si Julie Anne San Jose sa fifth anniversary ng Showbiz Central. Sa isang interview with host Pia Guanio, pinag-usapan nila ang nalalapit niyang 18th birthday at ang mga pagsubok na pinagdaanan niya bago makamit ang tagumpay na natatamo niya ngayon.
Pia: We all want to know, what are your plans for your debut?
Julie Anne: Sa debut ko kasi, simple celebration lang, ganun, parang walang cotillion na magaganap kasi parang bihira na lang talaga ang gumagawa ng ganun. I want it in a different way na parang party lang, and I want to spend time with my family and friends.
Pia: Pero bukod sa party na yan, I know that you are planning a really big concert the day after your birthday.
Julie Anne: It’s actually a thanksgiving concert for the fans. It’s gonna be on May 16 sa Hard Rock Café. I hope you guys watch out for that.
Pia: Maraming kasing nag-tweet na mga fans mo and they are all hoping to see this in your birthday concert. From Mika de los Reyes, I want to see all the members of Sugar Pop sharing one stage. How possible is this, Julie?
Julie Anne: Puwede naman pong mangyari ‘yun pero pinagdedesisyunan pa rin namin kung ano ‘yung magiging possible concepts nung bawat segment nung concert.
Pia: Kayo ba in touch pa rin kayo [ng Sugar Pop]?
Julie Anne: Opo, we’re texting and calling each other.
Pia: I think ang most requested thing ng iyong fans sa iyong birthday concert ay maging escort mo si Elmo Magalona.
Julie Anne: Oo naman po, kung papayag din po si Elmo and hindi naman po ako makakahindi.
Pia: Sa tingin mo ba hindi rin siya makakahindi sayo?
Julie Anne: Siguro naman po, kasi we’re friends. Hindi naman po siya makakahindi kasi tandem naman kami, partners naman kami.
Pia: Bakit Julie, even back then, you already had this fighting spirit and you already had this belief in yourself na hindi ka na-discourage?
Julie Anne: Kasi po nung bata pa po ako, sobrang hilig ko na po talaga ang kumanta so ‘yun po yung naging stepping stone kumbaga para maipakita ko ang talent ko sa pagkanta. So yun nga po, before hindi nga po ako nananalo sa Pop Star Kids. I was about to quit na nga po talaga pero ayun, dumating ‘yung break so parang ginrab ko na rin. Ayun tuluy-tuloy na siya.
Pia: When you were starting out, one of the persons who was discouraging you [from entering show business] was your own father.
Julie Anne: Opo, as in ayaw niya talaga ng showbiz ever. Pero since andito na rin po ako ngayon parang he’s starting to like this also na, although medyo nakakapagod at mahirap talaga and may lesson learned na talaga na in this business you’ve got to be strong and tough.
Pia: After all these awards every year Julie Anne, all these fans who love you and support you, ito na ba ang inaasam-asam mong recognition?
Julie Anne: Of course now it’s an overwhelming feeling na natatanggap ko po lahat, as in sobrang blessed po talaga ako. Thank you, thank you so much.
Mapapanood si Julie Anne San Jose sa Party Pilipinas tuwing Linggo sa GMA-7. Bukod sa kanyang upcoming birthday concert sa Hard Rock Cafe on May 16, malapit na ring ipalabas ang pelikula nila ni Elmo Magalona na Just One Summer.
