MANILA, Philippines — Singer-actress Julie Anne San Jose surprised Filipinos by making a guest appearance at Josh Groban’s newest concert in the Philippines.
The show last February 18 in the Mall of Asia Arena was Josh’s latest concert in Manila since 2019.
Fellow singers Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and Martin Nievera were previously confirmed to appear, so Julie Anne’s presence definitely came as a surprise.
Julie Anne and Josh performed a duet of “Both Sides, Now,” the classic 1966 track sung and written by Joni Mitchell.
The “Maria Clara at Ibarra” star posted a video of the performance on her Instagram account, as well as pictures they took backstage.
“What a dream… such an honor and inspiration! It’s a full-circle moment,” Julie Anne said in her carousel caption. “From listening to your songs eversince I started my musical journey to singing together felt so surreal! Thank you for sharing your kindness and music!”
Leaving supportive messages in the comments section were Julie Anne’s partner Rayver Cruz, his brother Rodjun, Ogie Alcasid, Vina Morales, and Erik Santos.
Josh is known for his songs “Believe,” “To Where You Are,” “Per Te,” “You’re Still You,” and versions of “You Raise Me Up” and “The Prayer.”
