BLACKPINK's Rosé has been on a roll for the past few months, with constant performances and promotions for her debut album 'rosie' taking place. But some netizens are wondering if Rosé's busy schedule has caught up to her, after a few recent performances drew attention for the wrong reasons.
Her performance at the recent 2025 Gala des Pièces Jaunes in Paris was the first to gain attention. As Rosé sang 'stay a little longer' from her new album, fans noted that she seemed to be a little off-key as compared to the band.
Following that, Rosé posted a live performance version of her song '3am,' which also received mixed reviews. Reactions were split, with some viewers criticizing her vocals, while others praised her ability to sing live.
As an idol known for her stellar vocals, Rosé's controversial recent performances have drawn concern from netizens. Some are now questioning whether the idol is sick, or whether she simply lacked the time to practice for her recent performances. Others have pointed out that Rosé was ill in early December, and may still be recovering vocally.
"Her health still doesn't seem to be getting better"
"Take care of your throat..."
"Since she doesn't seem to be feeling well, she should focus on her health for now"
"She should be careful to protect her vocals if she's getting sick"
"I feel bad watching these performances, but I guess it's just because she's normally so good"
"You can tell just from watching, her throat is not in good condition. She should rest and not try to sing"
"Did she run out of time to practice?"
"I don't think it's because she was sick. The sound is flat, the midrange and low tones are not pitched right. I think there must have been an issue with her in-ear monitor"
"I think she's just really busy these days ㅠㅠ we know how good of a singer Rosé is, so it's no big deal"
"There are so many times when Rosé has delivered an amazing live performance, so when I see something like this, I just think that she wasn't in good condition and don't think much about it"
"We know how good she usually is at singing... that's why it's clear she just wasn't in good condition lately"
"Up until now, all the live performances were good, so it doesn't make sense to criticize one or two performances that were a bit off"
