Moira dela Torre has apologized for blanking out during her guest performance with LANY frontman Paul Klein at the band’s Philippine Arena concert, admitting that she was overwhelmed and caught off guard by the experience.
āIām so sorry for blanking out and getting a little stuck. I was too overwhelmed and too in shock, but I was just so happy to be there,ā the singer wrote in an Instagram post following the November 7 performance.
Moira joined Klein for a rendition of āStuckā during the band’s āSoftā world tour stop in Bulacan. The appearance marked a personal milestone for the singer, who previously covered LANY songs during her early musical years.
However, a video of the duet went viral online, drawing mixed reactions from concertgoers who expressed disappointment over Moira’s apparent difficulty remembering the lyrics.
āNakakahiya sa LANY, like you had one job tapos ginanyan mo pa?ā one netizen wrote, adding that they stopped recording the performance despite acknowledging that Moira was still a great singer.
Another concertgoer suggested that having a fan join the band onstage instead might have made for a better performance.
The criticism also extended to Reddit, where one commenter expressed frustration over Moira’s apparent lack of familiarity with the song.
āNainis ako sa pagtawag sa kanya eh. Chance na nya eh ātas ādi kabisado lyrics,ā the netizen wrote.
While some concertgoers criticized the lyric mishap, others viewed the moment with understanding, recognizing the pressure of performing alongside an artist one admires.
