Red Velvet’s Wendy Sparks Controversy with Live Performance Despite Being a Top Vocalist of Gen 3.
Recently, Wendy (Red Velvet) organized a 30th birthday party combined with a fan meet-and-greet event. At the party, the female idol delivered memorable performances and left many precious moments with fans. Wendy went viral on social media platforms with her seductive and daring Water trend dance. Despite seeming like an event filled with negativity, Wendy still sparked unnecessary controversy related to her vocal performance when covering Beyoncé’s song “Love On Top.”
Specifically, many social media users have shared a video of Wendy covering “Love On Top” along with negative comments about her live singing performance. Known as one of the top main vocals in the 3rd generation, with an extremely powerful vocal range and often handling the impressive high notes for Red Velvet, the video immediately sparked controversy.
Many casual observers who don’t follow Red Velvet might misunderstand Wendy’s vocal performance as declining, even from just a small excerpt that couldn’t fully showcase her abilities. However, fans quickly defended Wendy’s vocals. Beyoncé’s song requires flexible technique and solid breath control, as it involves hitting high notes four times, so, understandably, Wendy’s voice might strain a bit towards the end.
