‘Completely wrong choice’: Amy Shark is cruelly trolled on social media for her ‘terrible’ and ‘boring’ performance at the NRL Grand Final

Australian singer-songwriter Amy Shark kicked off the pre-game entertainment for the NRL Grand Final in Sydney on Sunday.

The 34-year-old multiple Aria Award-winner took to the stage in a black crop top and skinny jeans, and performed a number of her hits, including 2020’s Everybody Rise.

However, she was cruelly trolled on Twitter, with many suggesting her ‘vibe’ wasn’t worthy of a Grand Final performance.

‘I’m not a fan of Amy Shark – and acknowledge she is very talented – but the Triple J vibe really isn’t Grand Final entertainment-worthy,’ one wrote. 

Another agreed, posting: ‘Amy Shark… beautiful girl and talented, but completely wrong for the NRL Grand Final,’ alongside the hashtag ‘boring’. 

Others were rather blunt, commenting with the likes of ‘shocking’ and ‘Is she going to sing at all? That was terrible!’

However, it wasn’t all negative, with some praising Amy for her ‘powerhouse’ vocals.

‘Y’all are so mean. Amy Shark is a song-writing powerhouse with a voice to match,’ one wrote.

‘I thought Amy Shark was good!!!’ commented another, as well as one who posted: ‘You were awesome tonight Amy, well done.’

The starlet, real name Amy Louise Billings, began her set with her 2020 hit Everybody Rise, not letting the pouring rain dampen her spirits.

She then surprised her fans by belting out the lyrics to her latest track C’MON, released this week, with collaborator Travis Barker playing the drums via video link.

Amy and Travis weren’t the only talent on the night, with INXS’ Andrew Farriss and Kirk Pengilly performing their iconic 1987 hit, Never Tear Us Apart, alongside Amy.

Earlier on Sunday, Amy revealed her gratitude for the chance to perform at the Grand Final, in a heartfelt tweet.

‘After what 2020 has thrown at us all, no rain will dampen my mood or performance today,’ she wrote.

‘I’ll give this NRL Grand Final everything I physically have, rain, hail or shine. Let’s do this Australia.’
