Glad she's in the finale, well deserved! IDF was being totally ridiculous Monday night, did they really expect her to channel her inner Tina Turner with fractured arms? Preposterous! She did extraordinarily well, considering she was sitting down, which requires more air. 

Yes, this is all true. She slayed those high notes! 🙌

Has Wendy spoken about how her songs are selected? I understand from posts here that several, maybe most?, have been songs she's performed but hadn't seen anything on the last one. I'm wondering how much of a free hand she has.

I know in at least one of the packages, Blake said he "gave Wendy" the song, but I really don't know.

I haven't seen Wendy comment specifically about who chose her songs this season.

 

At 0:43, Wendy says Change the World is a song she had never sung before. She didn't specify who picked the song for her duet with Paris.

 

I don't know if Wendy had previously performed We Can Work It Out, If I Ever Lose My Faith in You, Blue Bayou, or You're All I Need to Get By.

 

Here are some pre-Voice performances of the other four songs.

Also, for those who prefer Wendy’s R&B/Soul side, here’s her slaying “Freeway of Love” LIVE on what seems to be a cruise ship! 😳

That’s outstanding, of course, but I’m glad Blake is smart enough to not have her sing that on the show.

Well yeah, singing this would not allow her to become a Minivan favorite 😅

Blake is pretty smart. He knows how to play it. 

 

I was skimming through the thread looking for something tonight and came across these comments.

 

In the rehearsal footage, Wendy said Freeway of Love is her "favorite song." Wendy also cites Aretha Franklin as her biggest musical influence. While it's a fitting "fan" suggestion, there are definitely better songs for this competition. Wendy slayed the performance, but I wanted every song choice this season to be something that Minivan would like, view, share, download, etc. Hopefully she has two strategic songs the audience will love next week.

Holy crap, that comment of mine aged poorly. That stings. LMAO. 
 

I think I was right about it not being the best song choice, though. Oh, well.

Freeway of Love is an example of TPTB not blatantly assigning someone a song that's obviously a bus yet not giving a good choice that will help with votes and gaining fans, either.

looking back on Wendy’s run so far, Freeway of Love is honestly the only song choice that i wasn’t a fan of for her. Aretha has so many timeless classics that Wendy could have done instead. this could just be me, but Freeway of Love just feels a little dated to me. it’s just feels very “80s” if that makes any sense😂 on the other hand, Jolene, You’re All I Need To Get By, and Change The World have been fantastic song choices in my opinion! i can’t wait for Wendy’s performances next week😍 i hope her arm and wrist are starting to feel better🙏

MJ Santilli posted her finale rankings. She still has GNT first and Wendy second.

 

Broken bones have not stopped Wendy from working toward her goal of winning The VoiceShe’s destined for second place. But regardless, she’ll leave the competition with a higher profile and a real shot at leaving background singing behind. A real pro, the versatile singer has performed R&B, country and blues, ably.

Yes to freeway of love, as good as it was, i was thinking she might consider to get into the final and not wanting to win this. I meant her goal was to increase her gigs flow better in the future to outside tenesse and memphis. Iam glad i was wrong.

 

Amen for her to speedy recovery so we can see her full fledge perfomance in the finale
