BLACKPINK’s Lisa has found herself at the center of a debate after her performance at the 97th Academy Awards. The K-pop star took the stage for a tribute to James Bond, delivering a rendition of Live and Let Die, but some viewers quickly questioned whether she was singing live.
Lisa’s performance was one of the most anticipated moments of the night. She joined an all-star lineup in celebrating the legacy of James Bond through music, bringing her signature stage presence and style. Clips of her performance quickly spread online, with fans praising her vocals and stunning stage visuals.

Lisa’s fans were quick to counter the accusations, sharing clips from audience members that seemed to confirm she was singing live.
