BLACKPINK’s Rosé’s “Last Christmas” Cover Draws Mixed Reactions? Health Issue or Vocal Struggle
Recently, BLACKPINK’s Rosé appeared on “BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge”. During the show, she performed several songs from her newly released album as well as a special Christmas gift for fans. However, her live singing during the performance has drawn mixed reactions.
Particularly, Rosé covered “Last Christmas” as a festive treat for fans. The song, previously performed by BLACKPINK during their “BORN PINK” concert in 2022 and their “Arena Tour” in 2018, was eagerly anticipated by fans and netizens alike.
However, during the live performance, there were instances where Rosé’s voice seemed to be unstable, especially during high notes. This led to mixed reactions and comparisons to her clear vocals while promoting her previously released songs from her upcoming solo album, “rosie”.
Rosé’s voice was said to be somewhat shaky during her “Last Christmas” cover on “BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge”.
At the same time, many people believed that Rosé’s voice had been affected by throat strain, considering that the female idol was able to sing much more stably in other stages.
According to them, since releasing the first two singles from her album “rosie”, Rosé has been busy with extensive promotional activities, both abroad and in Korea. Her packed schedule included magazine interviews, TV appearances, photoshoots, and pre-listening parties, which have likely taken a toll on her health.
Additionally, Rosé’s live performance of “APT.” at the “BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge” received praise. Despite singing without Bruno Mars, Rosé handled the entire track on her own.
Her live rendition of the global hit impressed audiences, as she delivered both her and Bruno’s parts smoothly, energizing the atmosphere without the vocal struggles seen in the “Last Christmas” cover.
