As she prepares to take the stage along with Sue Ramirez, Loisa Andaliio, and Maris Racal in their concert next month called 4 of a Kind, Kristel Fulgar admitted she is excited to showcase their different singing styles. “Namili talaga kami ng magagandang songs na makaka-relate talaga yung madla and also may iba’t ibang age. May kakanta din sa amin ng classic songs, iba-ibang genres. At saka meron kaming sing and dance so pakaabangan niyo. Ngayon pa lang namin gagawin na sumayaw together. Yung previous concert namin online ng One Music puro nakaupo lang kami dun. Ito totoong stage na and malaking stage so puwede na kaming sumayaw,” she said. The 22-year-old former child actress confessed she has always been loved singing. “Oo sa Goin’ Bulilit actually sa ASAP na rin. Sa Wowowee meron kaming grupo nila Kiray at Nikki (Bagaporo). May mini-concert na din kami at that time nung bata pa kami sa Metro bar yung venue. Katuwaan lang na concert pero unforgettable din tapos ito na yung sumunod na malaking concert so excited ako,” she shared.Kristel said she does not want to choose between singing and acting because they are both close to her heart. “Siguro hindi ko kayang mamili habang puwede ko siya pagsabayin kagaya nila ate Sarah (Geronimo) actress siya pero kilalang singer din. So kaya naman pagsabayin yun. Lumaki akong umaarte na. Ang first love ko talaga is singing pero simula bata pa ako na-de-develop na yung acting skills and ang dami pang dumadating na iba’t ibang klaseng roles kaya masasabi kong hindi ko rin kayang pakawalan ang acting,” she explained.A self-admitted “NBSB” or no boyfriend since birth, Kristel said she still wants to prioritize her career. Even with netizens enjoying her music videos with CJ Navato, Kristel said they are just good friends which is why she looks forward to working with him in a new sitcom under the ABS-CBN Foundation. “Mapapanuod ito every Saturday morning. Kasama ko din dito si CJ. Medyo comedy siya parang Okidokidok style siya, ganun. Isa siyang pediatrician. Medyo documentary din ito kasi i-ta-tackle din yung about medical stuff na about kids and daughters who have issues so makabuluhan itong proyekto na ito. Nung mga unang covers namin ni CJ wala kaming nilalagay na kilig. Titigan lang and normal lang sa amin na duet. And then napansin namin na nag-go-grow and may gumagawa ng love team tapos nagkakaroon kami ng fan base as a love team. So sabi namin, ‘Bakit hindi natin sakyan para sa kanila matuwa sila and i-support tayo pareho. Feeling ko nag-work out naman siya and then ito nagbunga na nga na heto magkakaroon kami ng sitcom together. Ito yung first na magiging show namin as a love team,” she explained.With CJ busy with school at the moment, Kristel wanted their fans to understand that it will take a while for their next collab video. “Sa ngayon hindi pa namin napag-uusapan kasi naging busy siya sa school nung nag-start yung sem. Nag-usap naman kami. Kinausap ko siya kung puwede din ba akong makipag-cover song sa iba ibang artist and then pumayag naman siya. Siya rin daw gusto niya mag-grow din yung channel niya and napag-decide-an din namin na puwede kami mag-grow individually kasi parang ayaw namin mag-stick as partners kasi meron naman kaming kanya-kanyang talento. Nagsusulat siya ng kanta. Nag-ta-try din ako magsulat so meron kaming kanya-kanyang gustong ipakita sa tao. Siguro one day baka mag-cover ulit kami baka sa channel niya or sa akin. Sa ngayon talaga siguro pareho lang kaming busy,” she said.
