Lisa (Blackpink) sparks controversy over her vocals at Coachella, revealing weaknesses.

Lisa's performance at the Coachella music festival is becoming a topic of discussion, receiving both praise for its visuals and considerable criticism regarding her vocals.

According to the published content, the female artist's stage performance this time was elaborately staged with modern visual effects, but it sparked debate surrounding her live singing ability - an element often considered her "fatal weakness".

At Coachella, Lisa collaborated with artist Anyma to perform her new song "Bad Angel." Her appearance quickly garnered attention thanks to her striking look, featuring a daringly cut outfit, a combination of sheer fabric, and holographic effects that created the illusion of angel wings. The stage design utilized massive 3D graphics, recreating images of Lisa emerging from the screen, even suspended in mid-air, creating a surreal atmosphere within the techno music setting.

These elements helped the performance quickly garner millions of views on social media platforms. Many viewers praised the creativity and level of investment, even calling it a visually "crazy" performance. However, alongside the positive feedback, the majority of comments focused on Lisa's vocals. Some opinions suggested that she "looks beautiful but doesn't sing well," or questioned the overuse of background music, making her real voice difficult to hear.

Many comments also suggested that the singer should focus on improving her vocal skills instead of investing too much in costumes and stage performances. Some viewers commented that she seemed out of breath while singing and dancing, and her live vocals weren't entirely convincing. This isn't the first time this controversy has arisen; it has plagued Lisa before, especially when she performs on large international stages.

Conversely, fans have spoken out in defense of Lisa, arguing that she has never claimed that her singing is her strongest asset. In BlackPink, Lisa takes on the roles of rapper and dancer, excelling more in performance and choreography than vocals. Therefore, according to some fans, it's not surprising that she hasn't performed well in live singing.

In fact, while active with BlackPink, Lisa made a mark with many solo releases that achieved widespread popularity. This led fans to have high expectations for her ability to break into the international market. However, when entering the US-UK music scene, the standards for evaluating artists are distinctly different. Western audiences often prioritize live singing and songwriting abilities, while spectacular performances play only a supporting role.

This difference presents Lisa with many challenges. International artists are often judged based on their live vocals on stage, something not every K-pop idol can perfectly deliver. According to music experts, balancing excellent singing with high-intensity choreography is extremely difficult, even for artists with good physical fitness.

In the K-pop industry, the use of backtracks like AR, MR, or Live MR is quite common to support artists during performances. This helps ensure sound quality but also makes it difficult for the audience to distinguish between the artist's real voice and the pre-recorded track. When performing on international stages, where live singing standards are stricter, relying on backtracks can easily become a drawback.

Previously, Lisa had been suspected of lip-syncing at several major events such as the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards and the Global Citizen Festival. These controversies intensified when she shared the stage with famous artists like Post Malone and Doja Cat, making the comparisons even more apparent.

Sinxity, former creative director of YG Entertainment, once stated that Lisa is the quintessential idol and artist that the contemporary entertainment industry can cultivate, the kind of artist every producer dreams of. Lisa possesses the talent, skill, charm, effort, and personality to become an outstanding artist.

Besides Thai, she is fluent in Korean, English, and Japanese, allowing her to engage with many cultures. Currently, Lisa is the Kpop artist with the most followers on Instagram (97 million) and the most likes. Each of Lisa's posts attracts between 7 and 13 million likes along with tens of thousands of comments.

According to YouGov, an international internet-based market research and data analysis company based in the UK, in 2021 Lisa ranked 17th on the list of the 20 most admired women in the world, alongside Michelle Obama, Angela Merkel, Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, Scarlett Johansson, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi. In recent years, she has consistently been named in the top 3 most beautiful faces in the world, as published by TC Candler, an independent American film and beauty review website.
