Here are a few reactions to the ongoing divide on Billboard's ranking:
"Lisa getting whacked for lip syncing and bad performing by non-fans, locals and billboard and other outlets omfg….it’s bad," wrote a netizen.
"I really liked new woman & was excited for the performance but it was 80% lipsync and the choreography was mostly just her moving her hands and hair. And it felt like she focused more on the camera than the crowd" said a fan.
"last place cause she lip synced all the way through. Why even attend a award show if u aren’t gonna perform live sing live" stated a netizen on X.
"they put LaLisman in last place because all she did was lip sync and no one was having it" added another netizen.
Fans, on the other hand, expressed that BLACKPINK's LISA's performance deserved a better ranking.
"Lisa in last place just lets me know to not take anything billboard says seriously. Camila should be way higher too her performance was iconic," said a fan on X.
"Lisa at last but why?" added another fan.
"LISA AT LAST??? Baby no her performance was Top 5," commented an X user.
"Meanwhile Lisa was one of the best performers," added another fan.
Additionally, the New York Post also released an article ranking the 2024 VMA performance from the best to worst, with BLACKPINK's LISA's performance sitting on the list of worst performances.

On September 11, the 2024 MTV VMAs were rolled out at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. BLACKPINK's LISA was seated as one of the performers at the event, and the other performers included Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, Katy Perry, Meghan Thee Stallion, etc.
The idol performed her two latest tracks, New Woman ft. Rosalía and Rockstar. While fans enjoyed the performance and clips from the same soon began to dominate the internet, an online debate kickstarted alongside. Many accused the idol of lip-synching throughout her performance and people argued that it wasn't the right move at an honorable award show like the MTV VMAs.
However, fans also clapped back saying that it didn't seem like BLACKPINK's LISA lip-synced. Alongside the debate between netizens, Billboard's release of the performance rankings at the 2024 MTV VMAs further fueled the debate. Since BLACKPINK's LISA was ranked last, netizens pushed the fact that it was because of the lip-sync.
Here's what Billboard said about her performance:
"The BLACKPINK member has proven herself adept at killer choreography and eye-popping visuals in the past, bt LISA's solo turn at the 2024 VMAs felt like a swing and a miss. "New Woman" could have used a little oomph from Rosalía, and the "Rockstar" choreography was solid but never head-turning, much less show-stopping."
After Billboard's ranking and commentary on BLACKPINK's LISA's 2024 VMAs performance landed on the internet, the online debate on the idol's stage has increased in intensity.
