A netizen going by the username @mysticientist chose to be optimistic about the whole thing, though.
Haha naturally talented nga tayo yet being fun size is what makes it even better. I love being fun size and surprise people with our ability to sing and dance our hearts out with Grace 🥰 They get caught off guard and don’t see the power coming from someone so cute and small 😂

Twitter user @nekonathann said the Filipinos’ “chaotic energy” makes up for the lack of height.

Some of her supporters, on the other hand, noted they aren’t gifted with singing and dancing skills as well as the height.
Unfortunately I got none of these 3… ahaha

Meanwhile, some of Poarch’s fans said they are blessed with height, but are not talented singers and dancers.
I would gladly sacrifice my 6+ foot height just to be able to sing and/or dancehttps://t.co/xEKEzdIbyV

Poarch rose to prominence after posting lip-syncing videos of herself on Tiktok, before officially debuting as a singer with the song “Build-A-Bitch.” She recently made headlines after making known that she’s been married all this time with husband Tyler Poarch, but only after she was getting a divorce from him in November 2022. It was reported, however, that she would retain her married name. EDV
