Sarah Geronimo

This is my second, and perhaps last, peer review for the article about Sarah Geronimo. I nominated the article for GAN, but was not listed due to prose and sourcing issues. Afterwards, I have addressed the issues raised in the said nomination. Now, I believe this is ready for GAN, or possibly FAC. Let me know ASAP if it is ready.

Hi! Original GA reviewer here. I'm not doing a detailed spot check of the sources for this peer review, as the Wayback Machine seems to be down for me right now. The sources I did check do seem to have a few issues, some of which I highlight below. The prose, however, has definitely improved. There are a few sections where the wording feels a bit strange to me, but is understandable enough for GA.

Some suggested improvements (not comprehensive):

...in November, Geronimo headlined a two-date concert titled Perfect 10 at the Araneta Coliseum and the Mall of Asia Arena. → ...on November 15, Geronimo performed a titled Perfect 10 at Araneta Coliseum. The concert was a commercial success, leading Geronimo to perform a second Perfect 10 concert at the Mall of Asia Arena on November 30.
Patricia Esteves of The Philippine Star praised Geronimo for adopting her maturity in the concert, while also highlighting her stage presence. → Patricia Esteves of The Philippine Star praised Geronimo for the maturity she displayed during the concert, also highlighting her stage presence.
She also two-date concert titled From the Top at the Araneta Coliseum in December 2015. — I'm not entirely sure what actually happened here, but it seems like this should at least say: "She also performed a two-date concert titled From the Top at the Araneta Coliseum in December 2015."
It featured her as a preschool teacher who was left behind by her groom (played by Enchong Dee) on her wedding day, and teams up with a public relations worker (played by John Lloyd Cruz) to save her wedding. → It features her as a preschool teacher who is left behind by her groom (played by Enchong Dee) on her wedding day, causing her to team up with a public relations worker (played by John Lloyd Cruz) to save her wedding. (WP:FICTENSE)
...it yielded the singles, "Sandata", "Ganito", and "Duyan". → ...it yielded the singles "Sandata", "Ganito", and "Duyan".
Geronimo said of her character: "This is my first time to be a mom [and] to be a grandmother ... But it's very challenging for me to imagine that I’m already old." In preparation for her role, Geronimo visited retirement homes during filming, and studied the nuances of Villa to model, which she described as challenging. → In preparation for her role, Geronimo visited retirement homes during filming and studied Villa's mannerisms so that she could emulate them in her performance. She said of her character: "This is my first time to be a mom [and] to be a grandmother ... But it's very challenging for me to imagine that I’m already old."
Gil likened and compared the soundtrack to the music of the 1950s and the 1960s. → Gil likened and compared the soundtrack to Filipino pop music from the 1960s and the 1970s.
The Perci Intalan and Jun Robles Lana-directed Unforgettable (2019) featured Geronimo as an intellectually disabled woman who finds a stray dog and takes care of it, and brings it while traveling to Baguio to see her sick grandmother in a hospital. — I've been thinking about this since the review: I think you should just say "autistic" rather than "intellectually disabled." It's more precise and avoids MOS:EUPHEMISM.
In preparation for her role, she trained with other people with intellectual disabilities, while Geronimo herself is not an intellectually-disabled woman in real life. → I think you misinterpreted the issue here. "Other people with intellectual disabilities" implies that Geronimo is "intellectually disabled" as well. Maybe try: "In preparation for her role, she met with people on the autism spectrum."
Geronimo confirmed in a 2014 episode of the talk show Tonight with Boy Abunda that both have been in a relationship since 2013. → Geronimo confirmed in a 2014 episode of the talk show Tonight with Boy Abunda that she and Guidicelli have been in a relationship since 2013.
...stating her consideration to share her unique music to the public. → ...expressing her desire to create original music.
Geronimo said that she at first rejected the song because the lyrics were associated with her personal life. → Geronimo said that she at first rejected the song because the lyrics were too reminiscent of her personal life.
...she debuted her collaboration single titled "My Mind" with Billy Crawford... → ...she debuted the single "My Mind" in collaboration with Billy Crawford...
The song eventually became a viral hit on TikTok; it began when a video of a high school senior dancing to the song's bridge was posted on the social media platform. → The song eventually became a viral hit on TikTok when a video of a high school senior dancing to the song's bridge was posted on the social media platform.
She also expressed interest to collaborate with him on a concert, which was fulfilled when the two co-headlined a concert in 2023. → She also expressed interest in collaborating with him on a concert. The two did eventually perform a concert together in 2023.
On "Sandata", Geronimo delved into the themes of mental challenges, struggles and empowerment. — Can't access the archived source, so not entirely sure how to clarify this, but firstly, I would say "depression" instead of "mental challenges." "Struggles" is too vague: struggles with what? Also, remember the Oxford comma.
I notice the Box Office Mojo source is still there. You should probably find another source to talk about the commercial success of Geronimo's films. Again, see WP:IMDB.

Very quick skim by TheWikiToby

"Her family was poor and struggled financially, and frequently moved houses" ----> "Her family struggled financially and frequently moved houses"
"During her first amateur singing competition, she performed Shirley Bassey's..." ----> "During her first competition, she performed Shirley Bassey's..."
"Later that month, she starred in a leading role on the television series Sarah the Teen Princess.[27] and had a..." replace that period with a comma
"The following month, she Catch Me, I'm in Love, where she portrayed..." I assume there had to be a cheeky brainfart here
In the section Perfectly Imperfect and The Great Unknown, "public relations" is linked the second time it was stated rather than the first
I see the article phasing in and out of the use of Oxford commas (WP:Oxford comma)
I don't believe the lead section covers anything past her career enough

@TheWikiToby: I have made the needed changes. I also made sure that everything has the Oxford comma to be consistent, and I removed the business venture from the lede.
