A user further wrote, "All of her emotions come off so fake and I don’t know why!"

One person commented, " She comes off so fake, so over the top..idk. lol."

"Every emotion seems exaggerated," wrote another.

One person also noted, "I’m just wanting to compare to Adele and Adele does this song much better. I wish Mara didn’t have such a rasp for this song."

On X, A fan argued, "Adele did this song at the same age. Some singers just don’t touch their music. Not her best performance."

Another person added, "She is so fake. She wasn't good enough for AGT or American idol and when she does not win this show, where will she show up next and take someone else's spot who deserves it more???"
