A concert in Araneta for Kathryn Bernardo?

MANILA, Philippines – Is Kathryn Bernardo also planning to become a concert artist like on screen partner Daniel Padilla?

This question came up during the launch of Kathryn's self-titled debut album on Tuesday.

It can be remembered that Daniel, also a recording artist with three albums to his name, staged two sold-out concerts at the Araneta Coliseum in 2012 and 2013.

The 18-year-old artist is not dismissing the possibility of having a concert, now that she has also delved into singing.

“Ayoko namang i-close yung idea na hindi ko yun gagawin. Kaya lang, kung bigyan ako ng chance and bigyan ako ng enough time para ma-train, siguro pwede basta gusto ko ready din ako sa sarili ko,” she said.

She added: “Gusto ko 'pag nag-perform din ako sa kanila, worth it nilang panoorin. Hindi yung pwede na, gusto ko yung worth it panoorin. So kailangan ko ng time para magawa po yun.”

Further asked if she would want a concert in Araneta, Kathryn said: “Kung bigyan ako ng chance, why not, di ba? Basta para sa mga supporters, gagawin ko kung ano ang gusto nila.”

Kathryn's self-titled album features eight songs, five of which are originals. She also made revivals of Heart Evangelista's “Love Has Come My Way,” Cris Villonco's “Crush ng Bayan” and Sharon Cuneta's “Mr. DJ.”

The album also features the song “Na Sa'Yo Din Pala,” a song written as an “answer” to Daniel Padilla's “Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat.” Both songs were written by Jungee Marcelo.

Kathryn describes the album as “very young, very sweet and very relaxing.”

The ABS-CBN artist said she went through singing lessons under Annie Quinto of The Company even before she started recording the album.

“Natutuwa naman siya. And sabi ko sa kanya, bumili siya ng maraming album. And very supportive naman po siya sa akin,” she said when asked about Daniel's reaction to her album. “And nakakatuwa kapag siya yung nagsasabi na masaya siya.”

The young actress is aware she can't please everyone with her new venture into music.

“Inexpect ko talaga na hindi lahat ng tao, maa-appreciate or maa-accept yung ginawa ko ngayon. Pero, kapag tinitignan mo naman, maraming nae-excite, maraming sumusuporta. Kaya siguro, yung mga bashers, imbes na pansinin ko sila, mas papansinin ko yung mga sumusuporta sa akin,” she said.

Kathryn added, “Bakit ko sila bibigyan ng oras? Hindi ko na sila pinapansin kasi nag-expect na ako na may darating talaga na ganun ang wala akong magagawa kung ayaw nila.”
