BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars Fiercely Defended Over Lip-Sync Accusations Following Viral MAMA Stage
BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars have found themselves at the center of an unexpected debate after their performance of the hit song “APT.” at the 2024 MAMA Awards.
Despite their stellar reputation as talented singers, the duo were allegedly hit with lipsyncing accusations online.
In response, fans and netizens rallied to shut down the claims by sharing MR-removed (music-removed) clips of the performance, highlighting their raw vocals. A post on the popular online forum TheQoo featuring the YouTube clip quickly became a trending topic, gathering over 23,000 views and sparking hundreds of passionate comments defending the two artists.
Supporters were quick to question the accusations, pointing out that the performance was clearly done with a live band, making the lip-sync claims baseless. Others also emphasized that both Rosé and Bruno Mars are widely known for their live singing abilities!
Many fans suggested the controversy might stem from jealousy, as the performance received widespread praise and captured significant attention. Some also noted that hate comments towards Rosé seem to have increased following the success of her solo hit. Even those unfamiliar with the controversy expressed surprise, questioning why such talented performers were being targeted.
- “Ridiculous. Both of them are already famous for being amazing at live performances. LOL.”
- “Ever since Rosé’s ‘APT’ became a hit, the amount of hate comments has increased so much…”
- “Even Bruno Mars can’t avoid MR-removed (vocal-only) clips. LOL.”
- “I don’t think casual listeners would say stuff like this. It’s probably fans of lip-syncing idols being jealous.”
- “I’ve seen a lot of comments saying the pre-recorded broadcast was a bit disappointing, but there were talks about lip-syncing?”
- “Wait, I didn’t even know there was a controversy. They’re insanely good! LOL. Their harmonies towards the end were mind-blowing.”
- “Both of their voices are amazing.”
- “Even if it were lip-syncing, we already know they’re great singers. So what’s the issue?”
