Rosé's performance at the Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes sparked a debate among fans and raised concerns regarding her health.
Rosé attended the Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes event on January 23, which also trended for the appearances of her fellow idols BTS' J-Hope, BIGBANG's Taeyang, and G-Dragon. The concert was also hosted by Brigitte Macron, the first lady of France.
During the event, Rosé performed her song "Stay a Little Longer," the eighth track from her first full-length album, rosie.
This was then followed by her pre-release track "toxic till the end."
To wrap up her segment, the singer had everyone raving with the viral "APT.," her collaboration hit with Bruno Mars.
However, Rosé's vocals became a hot topic in a community forum titled Rosé's Live Is Quite Severe.
"Did she lack practice?" the post's author (OP) captioned.
While Rosé's performance became scrutinized vocal-wise since she's also BLACKPINK's main vocalist, most netizens poured their concerns for the singer.
One netizen expressed concern, "Her cold still hasn't gotten better."
"Everyone knows that she's usually good," a second one chimed in. "She just needs to take better care of her throat."
Fans also pointed out how much they appreciate Rosé for giving her best despite health obstacles. They also praised her for still giving a live performance.
"It sounds like she's not well, and yeah it wasn't a good performance," opined a netizen.
"I admire that she was mostly live, because if singers actually were honestly singing live all the time I feel like we'd hear this more often. Like at least she's being real, which supposedly people want."
