RTV Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 4 minutes ago, Weirdoo said: I really, really, really dislike what Wendy did to OTR. It sounds like a lounge song, and I feel nothing from that when she’s adding 736485 high notes and belts to it. An AA female winner has been long due, but Wendy is definitely not the person to represent the robbed queens if Shika can’t be. I'm worried that many viewers will have this opinion unless the introduction makes it clear that Wendy is doing Patti LaBelle's version. Regardless, I honestly feel for Wendy because she's received so much criticism throughout this season. If she sings subtly, people call the performance boring or say she isn't trying. If she goes big, people complain that she isn't connected to the lyrics or that she's screaming. It's bound to be disheartening. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to mention that in my original post too, but I believe they’ll bring it up in the pre-package as well. I understand that people see it as a minivan friendly song that she’s “changing,” but that’s just not the case since she’s not singing the original version anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the right thing is to find a middle ground , a performance where she doesn’t go ballistic vocally but she doesn’t hold back that much similar to her semis IMO.

Weirdoo Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Lol the way you can't even comment about the studios without a swarm of people coming from hell to attack. I know she's doing the Patti version, and no I didn't have any expectations for her, she might have one of the most tragic songchoices run of the history of the show so I didn't expect anything better here, but her gimmick of taking people's versions of old ass songs and/or going full ballistic because she's unable of emoting is very tiring. I'm not desperate to attack her because I want GNT to win, as if they needed that I wish Wendy the best of luck at the Grand Ole Opry karaoke after the show though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that matter? People will either like it or not. Whether the cover arrangement is hers or a cover of a cover, it comes down to whether it’s pleasing to the ear of the listener.

Misirlou Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I think GNT might go instrument-less for The Chain. They typically handle instrumentation by themselves, which I assume will be the case for their ballad, with Caleb on guitar. For The Chain though, there's no Lindsey Buckingham in the group (or in the band, tbh, even though Justin and company are killer guitarrists on their own right), so my hope is that they match the chaotic energy of the track.

I think she's been trying to find that "middle ground" between what is enough yet not too much embellishment. It's tricky—especially when there are likely conflicting viewpoints from TPTB, vocal coaches, band, Blake, fans, audience, and her own head.

Thoughts and Sounds Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 This thread is in a perpetual need of some chill Anyway, not shockingly, GNT’s two songs are charting in their respective genres. The chain is 39 in rock (Cutoff is 6 for overall t200) Baby Now That I’ve Found You is 147 in pop (pop? But cutoff is 39) River is back top 200 overall. These are certainly small #s but they’ve def got a dedicated group Wendy is the only other one with a song on any chart right now. I wonder whether the Chain or BNTIFY reaches higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anybody354 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I haven’t posted here in a while, and I haven’t even listened to the studios. I just wanted to say that this is the most talented finale and the best season for a while (around seasons 13-17, I didn’t watch as much on TV and watched it in YT). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Last week it was the Lana vs Wendy fanbase wars, now we're back to GNT vs Wendy. And when Hailey started getting momentum it was her fans vs GNT fans. And around Top 13 it was Jershika vs Wendy fanbase wars. Y'all need to chill lol.
