The 56-year-old crooner from Nashville first opened the show with a duet with Paris Winningham who also hails from the same team. They had belted out their rendition of ‘Change the World’.
 
Wendy Moten then showed her real skills after she sat for her solo performance in front of the judges namely Ariana Grande, John Legend, Blake Shelton, and Kelly Clarkson. In order to impress the judges and the live audience, Wendy opted for the song ‘You're All I Need to Get By’ that left Ariana and Blake completely smitten. The live band along with the background singers helped in setting the mood right for the evening. Social media users too quickly rushed to Twitter to claim that the versatile singer should win the show. The next episode will see three contestants out of the current eight heading back home no matter on what team they are.
