SARAH GERONIMO HURT OVER IDOL'S BAD END!

Pop Star Princess Sarah Geronimo said over the weekend she is hurt by the negative write-ups and feedback about the sudden conclusion of her show, "Idol," ABS-CBN's first music-serye.

Some articles and comments said "Idol" was axed early due to Geronimo's schedule.

"Idol," which stars Geronimo, Sam Milby and Coco Martin, premiered on September 6 and ended October 22.

"Nasaktan opo. Madami kasing feedback dahil sa pagtatapos ng Idol. Maraming mga masasakit na mga salita," Geronimo told "The Buzz" on Sunday during a pictorial for her upcoming concert with Concert King Martin Nievera.

The singer-atcress admitted the series ended because of conflicts in schedules, but not only hers, but also those of the show's other lead stars, like hunk actor Sam Milby.

"Kaya natapos siya kaagad dahil nagkaroon ng conflict nga po sa schedules, hindi lang po sa akin kung hindi ang mga co-actors ko like si Sam. May mga out of the country shows siya, ako may prior commitments ako," she said.

An online report quoted Biboy Arboleda, “Idol’s” advertising and promotions head, as saying that high production costs, particularly the royalty fees of songs used on the show, and scheduling problems, were the reasons for the early end to “Idol.”

“Idol” was originally scheduled to air for 10-13 weeks, according to Arboleda.

“Idol’s” low TV ratings were allegedly pulling down ABS-CBN “Primetime Bida’s” over-all performance, prompting the network to pull it off the air. However, the staff of the program refuted this allegation.

Even before the show ended, there were also reports Geronimo will be moving to other network, an issue she promptly denied. She even signed another exclusive contract with ABS-CBN last September to dispel the rumor.

Aside from the controversial series "Idol," Geronimo also disclosed that she was hurt by the negative comments and feedback she received after she refused to do the third installment of "A Very Special Love" with John Lloyd Cruz.

Some of the comments said Geronimo needs Cruz to help her career.

"Ako naman po kasi, gusto ko lang po sanang ma-explore yong pagiging individual na actor ko, ayaw ko pong maging dependent sa tandem namin ni John Lloyd," she said.

In a separate interview, Cruz said Geronimo does not need him to soar high in her career.

"Hindi ako naniniwala na ako ang kailangan niya, hindi naman siguro," Cruz said.

Cruz and Geronimo were hailed as the Box Office King and Queen for 2008 and 2009 because of their films "A Very Special Love" and "You Changed My Life."
