Sarah Geronimo gets noticed by Tyla after 'Water' performance
Sarah Geronimo recently impressed the world when her cover of Tyla's Water caught the attention of the South African hitmaker herself.
In the Dec. 17 episode of Sarah G Specials, a segment in the noontime variety show ASAP Natin 'to, the 35-year-old performer burned the ASAP stage with her version of the hit TikTok dance craze wearing a sexy lavender costume.
On X, Tyla retweeted the performance uploaded by a user, lauding the "people" who performed her song "crazily."
"It's so crazy seeing people perform my song with huge productions, costumes, choreo etc. etc… what the heck," she wrote.
