The performance quickly went viral, eliciting a mix of reactions from fans and critics alike. While some applauded her raw vocals and emotive delivery, others questioned her vocal abilities.
One critic commented, “Her fans were right when they said she can’t sing,” while another claimed, “Some people shouldn’t be singers, and this is the proof.”
However, Rosé’s supporters passionately defended her talent. A fan wrote, “The way she even plays with her voice on certain notes, you can definitely hear that MIC ON. The artist you are, Rosé.”
Another added, “No fancy clothes, no high-budget setup, no loud backtrack, no autotune just her in a simple outfit with a working mic and raw vocals. That’s what you call a true live performance.”
Some even compared her to the pop-punk legend Avril Lavigne, with one user declaring, “When I said she’s the Korean Avril Lavigne, I meant it.”
Rosé’s solo endeavors come during BLACKPINK’s current hiatus, with members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé focusing on individual projects. In a previous interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Rosé described the album-making process as a “free therapy session,” adding that it allowed her to heal and explore personal themes.
Her performance of “3 AM” is a testament to her versatility and authenticity, continuing to solidify her status as a global solo artist.
