BLACKPINK's Lisa Faces Lip-Sync Allegations During 2024 VMA Performance, Netizens Say 'How Can You Call Yourself A Rockstar'
BLACKPINK member Lisa was criticised on social media for lip-syncing during her 2024 VMAs performance.
New Delhi: New York City played host to the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), which honoured the music industry's most prominent figures. Performers at the event, which was hosted by Megan Thee Stallion, included Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, and BLACKPINK's Lisa, who is a K-pop phenomenon. Lisa stunned the crowd as she performed ‘New Woman’ and ‘Rockstar’. However, following her performance at the awards, Lisa faced accusations of lip-syncing on social media.
As she sang her most recent solo singles, Lisa's enthusiastic audience went wild, captivated by her magnetic stage presence. Some viewers, however, vented their frustration on social media, claiming that the performer was lip-syncing. X (formerly Twitter) users were quick to point out that her backup vocals were too loud and didn't match her onstage lip movements, prompting a barrage of criticism.
Many people even thought Lisa didn't sing a word live, and many called the show uninteresting.

A user also wrote, "How can you call yourself a rockstar if you’re gunna lip sync …. I’m confused," while another one said, "This Lisa Lady Some Of The Worst Lip Syncing I’ve Seen In a While #VMAs."
The BLINKs, Lisa's devoted followers, swiftly came to her defence despite the criticism.
You can clearly hear her singing live from new woman to rockstar the whole time, but you will have those bitter fandoms telling you otherwise 😭. Anyway Lisa, you rocked tonight 🔥
