At fourteen years old, Sarah bested 10 other finalists in the nationwide search for Star For a Night (Philippine Edition) aired at IBC 13 with singer Regine Velasquez as program host.

She also became a mainstay in the Sunday noontime variety show, ASAP.
She also obtained a multi-million peso advertising endorsement contracts with Jollibee, Charmee, and Talk 'n' Text for Smart Communications.

In summer of 2005, Sarah reunited with her fellow champions for a United States Tour of Pinoy Idols: Return Of The Champions, which was staged in selected cities in the U.S. for a two-month period.
Sarah went on to perform in her first major solo concert, The Other Side at the renowned Araneta Coliseum. Viva Records released a live album of said concert that in turn reached a Platinum status.
Sarah was given the lead role in ABS-CBN's top and highest rating primetime soap opera, Bituing Walang Ningning (Lackluster Star), an adaptation of the 1985 Philippine hit movie classic. Here, she starred as aspiring singer Dorina Pineda, a role originally played by Sharon Cuneta.
Her third solo album entitled Becoming released in August 2006, reached gold status in just one week, and Platinum for about a month after.
Sarah continued to spread her wings globally as concerts were successfully staged in Taiwan, Canada, Alaska, and Dubai. The Other Side US Tour had her visit San Diego, Hanford, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu, Maui, Anaheim, Washington DC and Atlantic City.
While in the US on November 18, 2006, she was given the honor to sing the Philippine National Anthem (Lupang Hinirang) at a global boxing event, the third encounter between super featherweight champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao of the Philippines and Erik "El Terrible" Morales of Mexico at the UNLV Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Sarah continues to enthrall Filipino audiences locally and abroad. In 2007 alone, Sarah has toured major cities in the US, Australia, Canada, Europe and UAE.
Sarah is currently a mainstay of ASAP '07, a once-a-week, noontime musical variety show, and also hosts Little Big Superstar, a reality star search program for aspiring child performers that has recently concluded its third season.

Kailangan Kita
Sarah Geronimo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ang tunay na pagsinta
pag yakap kita ng mahigpit
parang akoy nasa langit
minsan lang ako nakadama nang ganito pagibig na wagas at sadyang totoo nananabik itong aking puso
kailangan kita ngayon at kailanman
kailangan mong malaman na ikaw lamang ang tunay kong minamahal
at tangi kong hiling ay makapiling ka lagi
at habang buhay na ipaglalaban ko

Please appreciate each other's uniqueness. May kanya-kanyang timbre ng boses ang tao. It's just a matter of preference. Ang iba gusto dark/makapal ang quality. Ang iba naman gusto light/manipis. Depende sa gusto ng tao yan. Hindi mo pupwedeng pilitin kung ano ang preference ng iba. Ako, either of the two okay sa akin. I appreciate artists and their individual qualities. But ang gusto ko talaga is a technical and soulful singer, plus has an excellent agility. Ang akin, RESPETO LANG PO.
