Even before they hit the stage, however, one member in particular gained considerable attention online for her vocals. It was none other than Rami!
She stepped up during their pre-stage interview to sing her line in the pre-chorus. Without any backtrack, her clean vocals spread through the room seemingly without effort. Several clips showcasing this part gained thousands of views and likes online.

Rami has been praised since The Last Evaluation for her steady and strong vocal skills. Her cover of Jazmine Sullivan‘s “Pick Up Your Feelings” showed off her vocal technique early on.
