Vic del Rosario, head of Viva Entertainment, clarified that there's no truth about the news that Sarah Geronimo was shortlisted to perform at the 2013 Grammy Awards. The news erupted via Viva Entertainment's own tweet last January 14 via their official twitter account (@VivaInteractive).

Viva Entertainment (@VivaInteractive) tweeted on January 14 that their talent Sarah Geronimo is being considered to represent Asia and become one of the live performers at the 55th Grammy Awards this February. The tweet has a link referring to an article in Sarah Geronimo’s official website www.sarahgeronimo.ph:

Here’s the excerpt from the said article:

On the 55th awarding ceremony of Grammy Awards, the organizers would like to invite foreign artists to perform live on the show. According to the report, in every continental region, there must be one performer, and based on the leaked information, the “Concert Queen” Sarah Geronimo is included on the short list.

Reports added that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammy Awards organizers) recognized the brilliance of Sarah Geronimo when it comes to performances. The 55th Grammy Award will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. U.S. A., it will be aired live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

In an interview by Yahoo! Philippines, Viva Entertainment founder Vic del Rosario said the news about Sarah’s possible Grammy performance is not true.

“Hindi ko alam kung saan galing yan. Kausap ko nga si Sarah at wala kaming information tungkol diyan,” he said.

Even Sarah Geronimo herself said, via an interview by ABS-CBNNews that she did not receive any invitation of some sort from the Grammys.
