BLACKPINK’s Lisa Triumphs Over Lip-Sync Allegations During Coachella 2025 Soundcheck
On April 11, 2025, amidst ongoing concerns regarding lip-syncing, BLACKPINK’s Lisa made a striking impression during a live soundcheck at Coachella 2025. The Thai rapper and vocalist showcased her unfiltered live singing ability, resulting in a surge of support from fans who were quick to defend her against the frequent criticisms surrounding her live performance skills.
Lisa’s path as a solo artist has been fraught with scrutiny, particularly due to persistent lip-syncing allegations. Her appearances at high-profile events such as the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards and the Global Citizen Festival sparked significant discussion, not only for their artistic presentation but also for accusations of using pre-recorded vocals.
Critics often referenced instances where her voice seemed to be out of sync with her live singing. This scrutiny intensified following her participation in a tribute for James Bond at the Oscars 2025. Despite delivering an electrifying rendition of “Live and Let Die,”she faced backlash from some viewers who accused her of miming, further fueling online debates.
Lisa’s Live Performance at Coachella: A Turning Point
In contrast to the previous controversies, Lisa’s recent performance during the Coachella soundcheck was met with enthusiasm. Fans reacted on social media after witnessing her confidently deliver live vocals without any backing tracks. One fan passionately remarked on X:
“SHE NOT PLAYING AROUND…. she’s letting y’all know her mic stay on.”
This statement perfectly captured the excitement as the tide turned in favor of Lisa. As fans reshared clips from her rehearsal, they celebrated her vocal prowess, effectively overshadowing earlier allegations of lip-syncing.
“Lisa pissing all the “lisa lip sync”community with a single sound check,”a fan wrote.
“I’d be so mad if after all of her efforts to sing live, she’ll be stuck with folks who are still stuck on her lip syncing,”another fan said.
“Everyone who spoke on mother will soon perish!!”another fan added.
In a further display of support, many fans emphasized that “the MIC IS ON,”underscoring their belief that Lisa had decisively countered the lip-syncing accusations during this notable soundcheck.
“AND THE MIC IS ON EXACTLY GOD LISA!!!!!!!”a fan exclaimed.
“Lisa sounding so good. Haters will come again and say she lipsync because she sounds too good,”another tweet read.
“That mic loud afffffff she’s gonna put on a SHOW tomorrow,”a fan enthused.
Background on Lip-Sync Criticisms in Lisa’s Career
The allegations against Lisa have been a recurring issue throughout her solo performances. She made history as the first K-pop solo artist to grace the MTV stage during her September 2024 performance of “New Woman”and “Rockstar.”Unfortunately, this milestone was overshadowed by accusations of lip-syncing.
Again, on September 29, 2024, during her debut of the unreleased track “Moonlit Floor”at the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, observers noted discrepancies between her voice and the backing track when she moved the microphone away from her mouth.
Her historic performance at the October 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show also faced similar allegations. However, many fans came to her defense, sharing clips that highlighted her unique vocal variations, suggesting that she was indeed performing live.
Looking Ahead: BLACKPINK’s Lisa at Coachella 2025
As anticipation builds, it is slated that Lisa, also known as the “FXCK UP THE WORLD”rapper, will take the stage at the Sahara Stage during Coachella 2025. Her set is expected to run for approximately 55 minutes, from 7:45 PM to 8:40 PM PT.
