Both are influenced very much by Motown and old school r and b. Both have sang country songs but neither actually sound country when they sing. I agree. Both are very versatile and sound great no matter what genre they're singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess but only because it sent her home. Objectively I thought she still sounded great on it. But maybe she wouldn’t have made it anyway. It seems her tone is so divisive so she always had haters. Others that didn’t like her tone automatically thought she sucked when in reality they just didn’t like her tone. It is a classic twang though so not sure why it didn’t catch on with minivan.

Wendy has no country sound to her voice. Successful country artists have that country sound that Lana has. So there's no country artist in the finale. Not a tragedy. I'm not sure why you feel entitled to one. Lana lost with Blake's support. The end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She definitely was on the show but in her covers she mostly sounded like pop with a slight twang. https://www.instagram.com/ameasureoflana/p/BW1EhckAmnJ/?utm_medium=copy_link I thought she was more pop pre-season too. Especially since the only song choice we knew of her was Wildest Dreams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landon1988 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Oh, I have missed IDF petty arguments! It brings me right back to my teenage days during the early days of Idol. This is just the kind of drama I needed in my life again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoughts and Sounds Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hey TPTB, before you start making some ill-conceived song choices for the finale, I have done your job for you Uptempo solo: Wendy - Gimme Shelter/Respect Paris - Purple Rain Hailey - Hailey is very young, so trying to be mindful of content is difficult. I say No Tears Left to Cry just for Ari Jershika - Respect/Gimme Shelter (we share here ok) Ballad/slow songs: Wendy - Hallelujah Paris - In the air tonight (idk if either of Paris' fit the criteria but idc im using them anyway) Hailey - No Time To Die Jershika - An emeli sande song or Speak the Name by Koryn Hawthorne Kelly clearly doesn't need help with GNT's songs, but if she's taking recommendations Upbeat - Hit the Road Jack Slow - Shallow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve probably noticed I don’t usually support the soulful, R&B females. When the spoilers came out last summer, I did a ton of research on Wendy, and probably listened to 50-100 videos of her singing, plus at least 5 full listens of her two of her albums. This is just for context so that you understand I know Wendy’s background pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've never guessed that she was country pre-season, especially considering her KO's song choice, and that it was the only song choice of her we knew at the time Btw, her KO's performance will always be one of the most memorable performances on that round for me. Taylor would be proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The narrator Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I was a fool for underestimating Jershika. I am glad to be wrong that she can win over Lana and J&S.. thoughts on the finalists… It’ll be a GNT crowning for sure… they have been consistently number 1 on itunes placement among the finalists, views and reacts… I am excited to see who will end up second.. it looks like Wendy for sure but Hailey seems to be right behind her.. Paris showed cracks in the semis i would’ve been picking him to place behind GNT but Wendy and Hailey both have momentum.. Jershika I love but if Desz and the countless other Black soulful divas have fallen 4th or 5th it doesn’t bode too well for her.. plus it says a lot she had to win IS twice just to advance..

More Yolas, less Morgan Wallens. To neglect the fact Wendy herself has dabbled in country alongside great names and said she is a country singer as well, is simply erasure. you really ate with this post… Yola praise, a Morgan Wallen drag, AND Wendy support?

Thoughts and Sounds Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 My general sense is that going into next week, GNT are large favorites but Wendy and Hailey are in it with an outside chance.
