Girls ability to serve them live vocals better live than studio versions must be studied, the most vocally challenging song mind you. https://t.co/jORWJFUKDS

Yet, others on the tweet criticized the idol’s vocals, with many saying that considering she was considered BLACKPINK’s main vocalist, her performance didn’t match the reputation she had. In particular, many said she was struggling to find the note in the ballad, a genre of song that exposes vocals even more.

IJBOL she doesn’t sound bad but she doesn’t sound great. Main vocal of a group having trouble holding a note of her own song while standing there. She also looks like shit, what is that outfit? https://t.co/ylNkiV3oIl
