The “Love Island USA” host made her parade debut with a rendition of The Cardigans’ “Lovefool.”

The 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade saw Ariana Madix take the stage, with her performance sparking a variety of reactions from viewers, some of whom expressed disappointment.

Madix is a talented actress known for starring in the reality series “Vanderpump Rules.” She surprised fans when she performed a version of “Lovefool” by The Cardigans atop the Peacock float. She was dressed in an elegant white wool jacket and turtleneck and brought her cheery demeanor to viewers.

One user remarked, “I thought that you need some talent to participate lol mediocre karaoke 🎤.” Others were quick to express their disappointment, “It’s prerecorded? I’m happy for her buttttt [sic] I’m not seeing talent.”

Another person agreed, “She must have a great management team, because she has zero talent,” while a viewer critiqued those who praised her, “I’m in the minority, I guess, I don’t get the hype.”

Most people were not impressed with her energy either, with one fan commenting, “Thrills isn’t the word I would use.. more like boring 🥱.” Some were particularly critical of her performance, claiming, “Her lip syncing was sooooo off..I thought it was awful.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, “She looked fab but the lip syncing [sic] was tragic,” while one added, “Painful to watch. You do you… but please don’t sing!!”

One fan chimed in, “Ariana Madix with the most obvious lip sync maybe ever 😂.” Another viewer humorously pointed out, “You could tell Ariana Madix was lip syncing [sic] because she wasn’t whining through the microphone.”
