Lisa faces lip-sync claims at Oscars, fans suspect LVMH influence

BLACKPINK's Lisa stunned audiences at the 97th Academy Awards with her highly anticipated performance, but it quickly became the subject of controversy. As part of a James Bond tribute, she performed Live and Let Die, yet some viewers questioned whether she was singing live. Social media erupted with debates, with some critics accusing Lisa of lip-syncing. Tweets and circulated, suggesting her microphone was inactive at times, fueling speculation. This is how she sounds live, she is not a singer and she did lipsync again so as not to be embarrassed like that time. Lisa has to stop pretending to be a singer, it's worse because she is more and more exposed — hrlww (@28942993pap) March 3, 2025 from watching THIS to lisa's lip sync for your life performance is CRAZY 😭 #Oscars — . (@livyoncee) March 3, 2025 omg lisa really embarrassed herself at the OSCARS AHHAHAHAH no amount of dancers could distract the viewers from the voice ??/€?/)/ this was so bad omg doja and raye saved her ass — disappointed hater (@sapphiclibra707) March 3, 2025 Well her boyfriend Fredrick Arnaul (the ceo of LVMH) was one of the main sponsors of the oscars so we there you go that's why the rich white man's girlfriend was on stage lip syncing — nika (@itsallbora) March 3, 2025 yeah lisa's billionaire boyfriend paid for this performance cause what is the point.. — sine (@sinelggl) March 3, 2025 However, Lisa's fans were quick to defend her, sharing audience-recorded clips that appeared to confirm she was performing live. Many noted that award show performances are often pre-recorded or enhanced for broadcast, which may have led to confusion about her vocals. are they admitting that lisa is such a global star that even the Oscars had to reconsider their principles of no-lipsync policy just for her? she sounded too good that they had to accuse her of lipsyncing to cope with it. — aries🍋ᴷᴵᴷᴵ (@ilisayou_m) March 3, 2025 not a lisa stan but her haters are funny af like be serious 'AcAdEmY aWaRD iS nOt aLLoWeD tO LiPsYnC BuT SHe DeFiNitely pAy mOnEy tO dO sO' like, we can see the rage and the jealousy speaking. Breathe, relax, and pray that your fav perform at the oscars one day — liv (@ka11medaddy) March 3, 2025 I know your community always manipulated y'all to believe Lisa is lip sync. She's always Mic on, many fancam proved it. This time if you still saying she's lip sync, I think you need medical check. Or please continue appointment with your psychiatrist. — I🎀 (@BeCozOfKhun) March 3, 2025 Beyond the lip-sync debate, Lisa's Oscars appearance faced additional scrutiny. Some critics questioned why she was invited to perform when nominees for Best Original Song were not. Others speculated that her inclusion was linked to her boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault, the CEO of LVMH Watches, whose company sponsors the Academy Awards. Lisa, who has partnerships with luxury brands under LVMH, has not commented on the claims. Despite the controversy, Lisa's Oscars performance marked a milestone for K-pop's global influence, and she received widespread praise for her stage presence. The discussion continues to divide opinions online, with supporters celebrating her achievement and detractors questioning her role at the prestigious event.
