On the morning of April 14, Vietnam time, Jennie (BlackPink) officially appeared at Coachella 2025 music festival as a solo artist. The Korean singer performed on the outdoor stage, attracting tens of thousands of fans to cheer.
Some celebrities such as singer Billie Eilish, model Cara Delevingne were also seen seeing Jennie's performance. In particular, Lisa and Rose were seen to the music festival together to cheer for Jennie.
At the beginning of the show, Jennie appeared with a fiery appearance. She wore a red outfit in a cowboy style, including a crop-top, super short shorts, leather jacket, suede turtleneck boots and cowboy hats.
In about 45 minutes, Jennie performed a total of 13 songs in the album "Ruby" just released earlier this year. She has many moments of shining, mastering the stage that is spread on social networks.
The singer showed the attraction when the keywords "Jennie" and "Jenchella" occupied the top 1 and the Top 2 global trends on the X (Twitter) platform, simultaneously reaching more than 1 million posts each keyword.
However, Jennie's Coachella stage is also controversial.
From the opening song "Filter" and the songs at the beginning of the show such as "Mantra", "Handlebars", "Start a War", "Zen", many viewers are disappointed because Jennie uses Backtrack (pre -collected music for singers to overwrite) support with large volume. There are songs, the singer abandoned many segments and mainly focused on the dance.
Later, when changing the mic wearing ears into a handheld mic, Jennie's live voice was significantly improved. The following performances such as "Extral", "Like Jennie", "With the IE", "Starlight" are also more invested in staging and help Jennie show their ability to sing live better.
In the song "Damn Right", the appearance of Kali Uchis on stage with Jennie surprised the audience. Overall, after the controversial opening repertoire, Jennie had a booming performance in the second half of the show.
Some comments that Blackpink members are familiar with the use of a hand -held mic rather than an ear -wearing mic, so Jennie is more confident when performed with a handheld mic in the second half.
In addition to the issue of voice, the shaping and staging part of Jennie is also controversial. In some previous interviews, Jennie once revealed that she prepared a lot for Coachella this year.
However, many viewers expressed their shortness because Jennie's stage was not as expected. Especially when Lisa has just had a monumental performance in the Sahara Stage - the second largest stage of Coachella music festival on November 11, the comparison between Jennie and Lisa is unavoidable.
While Lisa replaced 5 different stylish costumes, invested huge for stage and dance staging, Jennie only wore a costume throughout her performance. Sometimes she changes her coats and accessories but is not significant.
Some fans defended Jennie, saying that Jennie's stage was delayed compared to expected, which could be the reason she had no fashion instead of costumes.
The audience hopes Jennie will improve the shortcomings to get more impressive performance next week, April 20.
