BLACKPINK’s Lisa Faces Backlash Over Alleged Lip-Syncing at 2024 VMAs |

BLACKPINK’s Lisa is facing a wave of criticism after accusations emerged that she lip-synced during her much-anticipated performance at the 2024 VMAs. On September 11, Lisa graced the VMAs stage with performances of her popular tracks ‘New Woman’ and ‘Rockstar’, stunning the audience in a striking red outfit. Her powerful stage presence and engaging performance earned her widespread admiration from fans around the globe.
However, shortly after the performance, the praise turned into scrutiny as a segment of the audience, began to question the authenticity of her live vocals. Social media erupted with criticisms accusing Lisa of lip-syncing throughout her set. Some users voiced their skepticism, with comments ranging from questioning her live singing ability to more severe remarks about the perceived lack of effort in her performance. Tweets like “Never heard of Lisa but girl you gon lip sync the whole thang?” and “Lisa isn’t even making an attempt to properly lip sync” reflected the growing discontent.

In response to the backlash, Lisa’s supporters have rallied to her defense, countering the criticisms with evidence of her live performance. Fans have shared raw footage from the event that highlights Lisa’s genuine vocals and refutes the lip-syncing claims.

Defenders argue that the use of a backing track is standard practice and does not equate to lip-syncing, emphasizing that the quality of Lisa’s live singing is evident in the footage. Comments such as “that’s called backtrack btw, she is not lip syncing since we can hear her voice in the arena” and “Lisa’s vocals are so good that people think she’s lip syncing” showcase the loyalty and support from her fanbase, who are actively pushing back against the detractors.
