They did it once with Sarah Geronimo. Now, Search For A Star winner Rachelle Ann Go will be given the full build-up by Viva, which is preparing to launch her as its newest star.

Rachelle, 17, bested nine other grand finalists last March 13 to take home the house and lot package and the P1 million grand prize. A freshman college student at San Beda, Rachelle says winning came as a complete surprise, even if the other contestants named her one of their top choices to win the grand finals.

"I wasn't really expecting to win," says Rachelle, whose slim and petite build belies the power in her voice. "But I'm happy that I did, because I've always dreamed of becoming a singer, and now, I have a chance to make my dreams come true."

Rachelle and her parents (who have been very supportive of her from the beginning) are most excited over the breaks that are coming her way. She realizes, however, that this is just the beginning and that a lot of hard work is still ahead of her. She knew that even before she joined the contest, says Rachelle.

According to Veronique del Rosario-Corpus, head of the Viva Artists Agency which will be managing the Search For A Star winners, it wasn't just Rachelle's voice that won her the title. Aside from voice quality, the judges were looking for that all-important star appeal, or the "x-factor". Like Sarah Geronimo, they wanted someone who could not only sing, but who could also dance, act, and host, and, most important of all, she had to be someone who would click with the masa.

Explains Veronique: "We were looking for someone who not only had the voice, but who, like Sarah, could cross over from music to TV and the movies." The Viva Artists Agency has signed up Rachelle and runners-up Raymond Manalo and Genevieve Villabroza to multi-platform management contracts.

The three will soon start attending voice lessons, dance lessons and acting workshops to prepare her for their big debut. Viva wants to mold Rachelle into another Sarah and make her a multi-media star.

Judging from the talent this 17-year-old possesses, we'd say that's a very real possibility.
