AceShowbiz - Dua Lipa offered a spectacular set when she hit the stage to headline the Glastonbury Festival on Friday night, June 28. Fans, however, accused the 28-year-old singer of lip-syncing at times during her show.
For her set at Worthy Farm, Dua belted a medley of her hits, including "Training Season", "One Kiss" and "Levitating", in addition to performing several acrobatic dance routines. Donning a leather studded bodysuit, the Grammy winner also welcomed Tame Impala's Kevin Parker onstage for an electrifying duet of their 2015 smash "The Less I Know the Better".
Despite the mesmerizing performances, some fans noticed that Dua's lips were sometimes out of sync with the song throughout her show. Making use of X, some people started to put the star on blast for not singing live on her set.
"It's a shame #DuaLipa can't sing live. Don't turn up to glasto and mime. Rubbish," one wrote on the app, formerly known as Twitter. "Worst miming you'll ever see," another critic said.
One other noted, "Anyone watching Glasto? Just whacked it on and Dua Lipa looks like she's definitely miming almost every word." Another comment, meanwhile, read, "Dua Lipa miming at Glastonbury. What's the point?"
Despite the criticism, some others showered Dua with praise for her performance that night, "Dua Lipa is actually too good. God I wish I was there."
"Dua Lipa's been pretty good actually. I only know One Kiss, but her voice is better than I'd thought it would be. Look forward to seeing her in the Sunday afternoon legend slot in about 25 years time," another fan gushed. Someone added, "This Dua Lipa and Kevin Parker collab is magical."
During her show, Dua admitted that she had been manifesting her duet with Kevin for years. "I have written this moment down, I've wished for it, I've dreamt it," she shared with the crowd. Her dream was to headline the Pyramid stage on a Friday night and soak in the festival's vibrant atmosphere.
Kevin played a significant role in shaping Dua's latest album "Radical Optimism" as a co-producer and co-writer on seven tracks, including "Houdini", which blends 1980s sleaze and post-disco melodies. Joining "Houdini", "Training Season" and "Illusion", two other songs from Parker's collaborations, became U.K. Top 10 singles.
