Development

The tour is in celebration of Geronimo's 15th year in showbiz industry which started in 2002 when she joined and later won the television singing contest Star for A Night that led to more success for Geronimo throughout her career. The concert was announced on February 1, 2018, prior to the surprise release of her thirteenth full-length album of the same name. Other concert dates were announced on the night of Manila show. [3]

Background

James Reid, Xian Lim, Billy Crawford, Mark Bautista and Daniel Padilla performed with Geronimo at her three-hour show. Ronnie Liang and Sam Concepcion joined her on succeeding shows in the Philippines and abroad. During the Manila show, Geronimo's fans called "Popsters" filled the arena with red lights as a surprise for Geronimo. Geronimo herself was the first local artist to achieve this feat during her 2015 concert From the Top. [4] D

Reception

Despite having less promotion, the concert managed to set a new record for Geronimo.[ citation needed ] As an addition to her record as the youngest solo artist to hold a show in Smart Araneta at the age of 16, Geronimo with her This 15 Me Concert broke the record for the Highest Grossing Local Concert in History.[ citation needed ] The hashtag #SarahGeronioThis15MeConcert trended on Twitter Philippines at number one on the day of the concert with over 200,000 tweets.[ citation needed ] Various recorded performances from the said show also landed on YouTube Philippines trends including her performances for Dulo, Tala, I Have Nothing and I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing while her take for the dance challenge Dame tu Cosita went viral on social media platforms Facebook and Twitter.[ citation needed ]

Critical reception

Manila

Writing for ABS-CBN News, Sheila Reyes said that there was never a dull moment during the show and the momentum was kept up throughout the night. [5] Allan Policarpio of Inquirer.net praised Geronimo's birit-medley number saying "Just because she doesn’t do it as much doesn’t mean she can’t handle big diva songs anymore. She sounded solid in Natural Woman And in I Have Nothing." [6] "Sarah proves (as if we had any doubt) that she's the country's popstar princess" Rappler.com said. [7]

Dubai

Chris Newbould from The National reviewed the show, praising Geronimo's talent and despising the event's support acts and commercialism probably due to Geronimo's constant pauses to thank the myriad sponsors and producer, "Geronimo rescues a strange evening" Newbould said. He also shared his disappointment on Geronimo not singing her songs from the film Miss Granny which was recently shown in Dubai. [8]

Netflix Film

Streaming platform Netflix acquired the rights to screen the concert film which was recorded in Manila. The rockumentary was tagged as Netflix Originals, making Geronimo the first Asian artist to have an original concert film available for streaming on the said platform.
