She’s lined up to represent the UK at next month’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.
But Mae Muller’s latest performance of her self penned track, entitled I Wrote A Song, was slammed when she appeared to forget the words.
After a clip of the 25-year-old on stage was shared to TikTok this week, fans have been left fearing for her hopes in the competition.
Despite oozing confidence on stage she seemingly opted to hum to the music as the excited audience did all the singing.
Sharing the video one fan wrote: ‘She wrote a song …but she can’t sing it’.

Oh no! After a clip of the 25-year-old on stage was shared to TikTok this week, fans have been left fearing for her hopes in the competition
While another said: ‘I keep seeing videos and everyone says she’s sick, it’ll be better on the night, or it’s not at full production.. but like, it’s not getting better?’.
And more commented commented: ‘Dreadful’ and ‘I’m disappointed’.
However others were quick to jump to the songstress defence ahead of the contest next month.
With one declaring: ‘This is at the end of the song where she improvises and just had a good time with the crowd. The rest of the performance is fab. You know that’.
And: ‘I’ve seen her live twice and she was amazing, you’ve posted a tiny clip out of a whole performance’.
While a fourth added: ‘You post a what 15 second clip?? The whole performance is actually really good. Crazy people are trying to trash on Mae’.
It comes after the BBC sparked fury among Eurovision fans after ‘breaking’ the contest’s impartiality rules.
Published on the BBC News website, a ‘disparaging’ article slating some of the European hopefuls emerged on Thursday.

Music journalist Mark Savage certainly lived up to his surname as he predicted where acts would finish and blasted some as unlikely to even qualify for the final.
But in just a month’s time, the Beeb will broadcast the extravaganza live from M&S Bank Arena Liverpool.
‘A grasping, aspirational hymn to togetherness, with lyrics Coldplay would have rejected for being too twee,’ Mark said of Ireland’s entry, We Are One by Wild Youth.
Furthermore, he claimed the band were ‘about as rowdy and unpredictable as a facecloth’ and anticipated they would lose in the opening semi-final.
I Wrote a Song, submitted by the UK’s entry from Mae received a backhanded complement from Mark too.
‘It’s probably too generic to top the leaderboard, but this camp disco banger is difficult to ignore,’ he remarked – before predicting she will come in at eighth place.
Making fun of Joker Out’s Carpe Diem, Slovenia’s entry, he penned: ‘When it finishes, you will have no memory that it ever happened.’
Mark predicted the tune will make the bottom five – but the outraged band told The Sun: ‘We must admit reading it on BBC, the host of Eurovision, left a bad taste in our mouths.
‘So unprofessional and disrespectful!’ The BBC has sparked fury among Eurovision fans after ‘breaking’ impartiality rules with a ‘disparaging’ article about contest hopefuls
‘Eek! A grasping, aspirational hymn to togetherness, with lyrics Coldplay would have rejected for being too twee,’ Mark Savage said of Ireland’s entry, We Are One by Wild Youth
‘The process and the journey before Eurovision is very heavy on the minds and bodies of the contestants, and we believe the BBC knows that and should not make contestants worry about not being taken seriously when we arrive at the event itself.
‘Some of us countries are really racing against Lamborghinis with bikes, so every stick on the road makes it much harder for us to compete.’
When the journalist shared his latest article to Twitter, his followers blasted him for his lack of ‘respect’ while questioning his abiding of impartiality guidelines.
One wrote, ‘I think a bit more respect could’ve been shown… specially from the host broadcaster… ‘
Another penned, ‘Really unnecessary disparaging remarks about about some of the artists. Disrespectful to any artist who puts themselves forward. Is this the official view of @bbceurovision?’
A third added, ‘Most unprofessional coming from the host broadcaster, also often wrong,’ while a fourth chimed in with, ‘So unprofessional and disrespectful….’
A source at the BBC said: ‘BBC News is completely editorially independent and not the voice of the BBC.’
MailOnline has contacted the BBC for comment.
