Gustong maka-duet ni Ben Adams, miyembro ng sikat na British-Norwegian boy band noong 90s na A1, ang Pinay singer-actress na si Sarah Geronimo.
Ito ay makaraang silipin ni Ben ang "videos and articles" na ipinadala sa kanya ng fans ni Sarah.
Ito ang naging reaksiyon ng fans ni Sarah nitong Lunes, September 9, nang i-tweet ni Ben ang paghahanap niya ng “well known South East Asian female artist” para maka-duet niya “on something.”
I’m looking for a well known South East Asian female artist to duet with me on something......any suggestions? #Philippines #Singapore #Indonesia #Thailand #Malaysia

Dinagsa naman ng suggestions si Ben mula sa Pinoy fans, at sina Sarah at Miss Universe 2019 Catriona Gray ang nangunguna sa mga inirekomenda sa English singer-songwriter.
Kabilang din sa mga suggestions ng netizens kay Ben sina KZ Tandingan, Morissette Amon, Julie Anne San Jose, at Golden Cañedo.
Follow up tweet ni Ben makalipas ang ilang oras: “So @JustSarahG and @catrionaelisa seem to be coming up a lot in suggestions for who to duet with on my next project.......now I just need to find their contact details and make it happen! #Philippines (partying face emoji).”

Matapos mapanood ang video ng performances ni Sarah, malinaw na napabilib niya si Ben, na nagsabing “amazing” ang tinaguriang Popstar Royalty.
Tweet ni Ben, “Well, quick update, I’ve checked out all of the videos and articles you guys have sent me on @JustSarahG and I think she’s amazing!”
Sa katunayan, sinabi ni Ben na nag-email na siya sa Viva Entertainment, ang talent agency ni Sarah, para sa pinaplano niyang duet kasama ang singer-actress.
“Have emailed @VivaArtists so let’s see what they say...... (crossed fingers emoji) thanks everyone! #Philippines,” saad pa sa tweet ni Ben.
