Sheryn Regis took a trip down memory lane and reflected on her learnings from her Star in a Million journey.

It can be recalled that Sheryn was a strong contender in the singing contest, but Erik Santos ultimately claimed the title of grand champion.

In an interview with Melai Cantiveros for the Kuan On One show, Sheryn became candid about her expectations during the finals of the singing contest.

"Nung time na 'yun, ['yung family ko] they expected. I expected. Pero nahirapan akong tanggapin na in a way, ay wala na talaga," she recalled as per Filipino translation.

The singer admitted that she "expected too much" that time that she would be winning the contest.

"Fifty percent okay akong matalo, 50% nagi-expect din akong manalo. But you know I love Erik, magaling din talaga siya mag-perform but siguro I expected too much kaya siguro sinasabi ng mga tao na sour grape ako or bitter ako. Pero hindi nila alam ang behind ng story, kung anong nangyari sa akin, kung ano ang struggles ko," she explained.

The singer went on: "For sure those contestants before ay may struggles din pero meron din ako kaya nag-expect ako masyado."

On her learnings from what transpired, she relayed: "The lesson I learned from that situation is do not expect too much but do your best. 'Yun talaga. As long as you did your best it's fine. You feel satisfaction and the contentment, so ganun lang."

In 2023, Sheryn celebrated her 20th anniversary in the entertainment industry with a concert titled All Out at the Music Musuem. Erik became her special guest during the said concert.

At the concert, the singer also became vocal about her Star in a Million journey.

"At that time, I really wanted to win. I needed money. Kakapanganak ko lang," she recounted in a previous interview.  

She relayed that the hotel she and her former husband worked at that time closed down. "Paano na ‘yung anak ko? ‘Yung pamilya ko?”, she recalled.

She was hoping that she could get the ₱1 million which was given to the winner. "Sana nakuha ko ‘yun, pero hindi e."

Throughout her career, Sheryn released five studio albums including Come In Out of the Rain, What I Do Best, The Modern Jukebox Collection, Starting Over Again, and She.
