NEW YORK – Lisa’s solo performance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024, held on September 11 at UBS Arena, has drawn significant criticism from major media outlets and social media users. The BLACKPINK member’s debut solo appearance at the VMAs showcased her new songs “New Woman” and “Rockstar” with a team of dancers.
Criticism from major media outlets:
New York Post: The New York Post harshly criticized Lisa’s performance, branding it as a “K-flop” and listing it among the worst performances of the evening. The review stated, “After being introduced by Paris Hilton as ‘That’s hot,’ Lisa did not live up to the hype. The K-pop star’s performance, despite her army of dancers, failed to captivate, leaving us wondering how she received an invitation to the event.”
Billboard: Billboard ranked Lisa’s performance at the bottom of their list of 16 shows from the night, placing her at 16th position. The review commented, “While Lisa has previously proven her dance prowess, her solo act at the VMAs 2024 was unexpectedly disappointing. ‘New Woman’ might have stood out with a feature from Rosalía, and although her performance of ‘Rockstar’ was competent, it failed to make a memorable impact.”
Social media reactions:
On social media, users have criticized Lisa for her lip-syncing and described her performance as lackluster compared to high expectations.
Despite the negative reviews, Lisa’s achievement in winning the Best K-Pop award for “Rockstar” highlights her continued success in the K-pop industry.
