One of the internet users wrote, "What is this nonsense?" Another commented, "Why lip sync??????"

The song is being played behind, and is lip-syncing now called a performance? Fake performance." Another wrote, "She is clearly lip syncing...what kind of performance is this?"

However, some fans also defended her, praising her performance at the concert. One of them wrote, "That's me vibing with my camera on the stage. tbh what a show it was, thank you @jasminesandlas for creating this kind of show."
