She can't sing! BLACKPINK's Ros¨¦'s 'Last Christmas' cover divides fans; netizens criticise her vocals
BLACKPINK's Ros¨¦, who is gearing up for her solo album, covered Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' and performed 'APT' as well. While she received praises for her raw vocals, she also faced backlash over her singing style.
As the festive season approaches, BLACKPINK's Ros¨¦, preparing for the release of her album rosie on December 6, recently covered Wham!'s 1984 classic 'Last Christmas' and also performed a solo version of her hit Bruno Mars duet 'APT.' For the former, she sat on a stool, reading the heartfelt lyrics from a music stand placed in front of her.
As she sang the song, her solo fans and many BLACKPINK fans, known as BLINKs, showered her with love and praise, enjoying her raw vocals. However, on the other hand, Ros¨¦ also received a lot of backlash for her vocals, with many asking why she was singing in 'cursive' (referring to an accent while singing).
Ros¨¦'s vocals receive backlash:
Many even stated that this is common, as the members of BLACKPINK have always used heavy backtracks and relied on backing vocals while lip-syncing. Ros¨¦ is the latest to get hit with 'bad vocals' allegations after Lisa and Jennie, who had also recently performed and faced criticism for not knowing how to sing, despite having years of experience in the industry.

Jennie and Rose have a bad habit of cursive singing covers with almost no support and ppl still wonder why Jisoo is considered to be the most stable bp member from 2018 to now¡ it¡¯s not rocket science. https://t.co/tZMcDpzka9
