Along with these new songs, she performed several fan favorites, including “ZEN.” However, part of the performance has since gone viral with reactions to her live vocals flowing in.
Many voiced criticism, expressing thoughts that she did not enunciate the lyrics well enough to be understood, as well her her singing being under expectations.
