BLACKPINK’s Wannabe Cover At Wembley Sparks Heated Debate
On Saturday, the Wembley crowd got a surprise encore. As it was a special moment, they gave a tribute to the Spice Girls during their last night at London’s Wembley Stadium. The group were dancing and singing together.
However, fans noticed that Rosé was the only one singing, which didn’t sit well with everyone. While the performance was a crowd-pleaser, the lack of vocal contribution from JENNIE, LISA, and JISOO left some BLINKs feeling disappointed.
One fan expressed frustration and pointed out that Rosé not only sang but also rapped, while the others didn’t contribute vocally. This fan felt the group could have at least provided backing vocals to balance the performance. For a song as iconic as ‘Wannabe’, many expected all members to join in.
However, another fan defended the group’s choice. They stated that the performance was a fun tribute to the Spice Girls for UK BLINKs and added that Rosé likely knew the song best and took the lead naturally. Another user stated that the encore was about the group enjoying the stage together. Hence, they urged others to relax and appreciate the moment.
