Over the course of BLACKPINK's eight-year career, each member has found themselves at the center of some controversy ¡ª and for rapper Lisa, it's the ongoing lip-syncing accusations. Since going solo and launching her own label, LLOUD, Lisa has stayed busy, releasing new music and making appearances at high-profile events.
From performing at the 2024 Global Citizen Festival and the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to gracing the stage at the 2025 Oscars, she¡¯s been everywhere. But with each performance came a familiar question: was her mic really on? Now, following her highly anticipated Coachella 2025 appearance, those same lip-syncing accusations have resurfaced.
Ahead of her Coachella performance, Lisa went viral when videos from her soundcheck circulated online, earning praise from fans. In the clips, the K-pop star was seen practicing her vocals, including live renditions of her songs 'Thunder' and 'New Woman.'
These soundcheck videos raised fans' hopes, with many expressing excitement that she might finally silence critics and deliver a fully live performance. However, once her main stage performances went viral, skepticism returned. Many viewers claimed it looked like Lisa was using her mic mostly as a prop.
Reactions to her performance were divided. Many pointed out instances where the backtrack overpowered her vocals ¡ª especially during intense choreography ¡ª and appeared to continue while she wasn't singing.?The debate quickly spread across X (formerly known as Twitter), with fans and critics alike dissecting footage and arguing over whether Lisa had delivered a genuine live performance or relied heavily on backing tracks once again.?
However, loyal fans and Blinks defended her, posting clips to show moments they believed proved she was singing live,? ?
Controversy aside, Lisa remained a major presence on social media, ranking among the most talked-about artists on X during Coachella¡¯s opening day.??
