However, some had different thoughts about the group’s live vocals. Many felt that the group were not singing live, but rather speaking, implying that it did not take vocal skill to do so.

On the other hand, many felt that the performance still expressed their vocal skills, especially considering how difficult the dance is.
They’re really good performers and stable but this song is just them talking
HYBE YOU BETTER GIVE THEM BETTER SONGS TO SING
That said though, you gotta give it to them for being stable from start to finish while doing that choreo https://t.co/BpngdQouvy

People freaking out in the qrts bc it’s “not even vocally challenging” like girl- that’s not the point here 💀💀
The song itself is a very talky song so while it’s not very musically challenging the fact that they literally sound just like the recording is cool af!! ❤️🔥 https://t.co/ktrlkKCbiG— 🌸★jess★ dreamless🤍 (@WoahIHaveAName) May 11, 2025
