I so agree with you...She is amazing! And I thought for sure, she will take the grand prize at the Voice...Oh well. I still have her songs on repeat in my ITUnes
Anybody here after hearing Wendy on the Voice tonight...9-20-21...she sounds like Whitney here...she should have been a huge star by now...she's beyond amazing.
Her voice is right there with Whitney Houston. She will be a force to reckon with on The Voice as long as her song choices are her on!!!! She has an awesome instrument that shines. I hope someone puts her in the studio so we can listen to this kind of music again.
@@love_luxury_keys7454 YES she did! I was amazed! Not too many people can handle that song! To hear that she lost that competition doesn't sit well in my soul. I do believe she could sing anything! Even though I didn't watch the competition, i'm secure in believing she deserved to win it. However, i'm glad the world has another opportunity to become aware of such talent! Prior to finding out that she was a contestant on this, I was aware of her gift. Have you heard her sing " come on in out of the rain?"🕎🕎🕒🕒⚓⚓🌊🌊🔱🔱🕊🕊
This is one of those things that happens to me every so often over the years since 1993. Spouting off about how mind-boggling and unfair it is that this song wasn't a bigger hit. Literally every single thing about this song is perfection. The writing, the production, the arrangement, the polish, and of course the performance(vocally and instrumentally). Such a moving piece, I just can't even find the words. That bridge actually does something to me physically, I can't explain it. It's like an emotional high that just wants to pull tears out of my eyes. This song is like a walk along the shore with the waves first coming in peacefully; then roaring by the bridge and the outro. All Wendy fans know that she should have been marketed better and her hits should have been much bigger hits. But I would also like to know whatever became of these producers and writers, etc? We need them in the industry! There are those of us who still thrive to this style of ballad---much like Whitney's ballads from her first two albums. That brings me to another point. Perhaps this single, as well as "Come in out of the rain" were released during a time when mainstream music was heading in a different direction. I think if Wendy's ballads had come out around 1986 to 1990, we may have seen a whole different response. Well, I said all that to conclude with this: I can admit when I'm being subjective and I simply like something for myself. But there's no question that, OBJECTIVELY, this song is an absolute gold medalist. I hope I don't leave this earth before finding the answer to why this wasn't at least in the top 10, if not number one.
I agree with everything you stated. She wasn't marketed properly and from an interview she takes responsibility for not really pushing harder for herself.
@@Novembersongbird when I got your comment I had to look back at my own comment to see what I said. Wow I really went on a tirade that day! Another one I'm not sure you ever heard by her is called "whatever you imagine"from the soundtrack to the pagemaster starring Macaulay Culkin. Also a very rare one called "The Way that you Love me" which is from a mid-90s soundtrack to the soap opera One Life to live. If you've never heard them, give them a listen. I'm sure you'll love them
She was gorgeous, she was a beast and she fitted so well that period with this extraordinary voice. Why in the world did I end up discovering her in the Voice?🤔😯 What happened? That's crazy!
C’mon, now…this voice is a phenomenon, this tone so rich. This woman was unbelievable then and still is now! The closest to Whitney and Ce Ce….why oh why has this voice been kept from us?? Lovely!
She not only sounds like Whitney she looks a little like her. You've been a star all along. I'm glad the world is finally seeing your incredible talent. Love this song and of course your voice. Knock out looks and let knocked it out of the park. Congrats well done, well deserved, accolades for you
So glad Mrs. Wendy; you are perusing you Singing career as a solo artist ,,, You have an amazing voice I remember your first song from the early 90's "Come In Out of The Rain" and a Stevie Wonder song "All I Do and so so so many other songs. Wendy Moten you're extremely a talented Artist and song writer. Oh and I have told my folks they must see the Artist you have performed Duets with.. WOW!!!!! Now "The Voice show" it will have the highest Ratings/Views Ever, and for sure I am looking forward to seeing Blake take the Trophy again with YOU Mrs. Wendy Moten!! GO TEAM BLAKE!!!!!!!
Sad and beautiful I think everyone has been through what this song is about and it’s memories that make it so hard to let go great voices beautiful woman take care ☃️❤️xxxx
We need to start a movement to get justice for, "So close to love" and "Come on in out of the rain". Yall KNOW she sang tha f*ck outta those songs. They did not give her the right promo. LET'S DO IT FOR HER!!
The problem was when she released those songs with David Foster Whitney was still on the scene. I believe the label was trying to create another Whitney. Dave Foster and his wife with some amazing people. Wendy still wins in our eyes and heart. I would like to get in on that if we do get an opportunity to get the music re-released. We don't need a movement we just need to support her continuously from now on
It's so nice to read all the comments from people discovering Wendy after her stint on The Voice. I've been a huge fan of hers since 1994 when Come In Out the Rain was popular, spent years hunting for her music (some Japan only albums and lots of guest appearances). A wonderful singer and person.
I’m here bc Spotify had Wendy’s “Come In Out of the Rain” on This is Mariah Radio Playlist. I remember the song but had no idea it was Wendy til now…and thanks to the Voice. I can hear 👂 the Whitney references too. Wow. She is a treasure!
Girl, you still doing big things! I predict you will WIN the Voice. Give this NABFEME sister something to brag about in my old age...lol Love you dearly. I know you will get all that you honestly deserve in this industry. They slept on you. EVERYBODY is WOKE NOW! Love you dearly.
Such a talented singer! Didn't know her before THE VOICE...why is that? She is 56 years old and has been singing a long time! She is a professional and should be well known just as Aretha Franklin, Witney Houston, Jennifer Hudson, Diana Ross. She deserves the opportunities and the recognition of a star! " The Voice" to her was another chance to be recognized. Keep on pushing Wendy! I loved all of your performances!!
I just watched season 21 again for the 3rd time & I have to say to Wendy that I am still just as mad as last year when you didn’t win the voice. I’m so disappointed 😢. Girl named Tom is amazing but you were obviously the best . The competition was very very tough because yourself as well as Paris, Jersheka Holly , Hailey & Jeramy were the best in season 2021, you should have won. I pray to God your where you wanna be. To Blake , Kelly , Ariana & John I am expecting you all help Wendy with her solo career. You exceptional I’m in awe ……… May God bless you & your plans your dreams
Your voice, your singing is a wonderful gift from God. I don't understand why all these so-called producers worked so hard to create recordings that hide it.
THAT VOICE!!!!! THAT VOICE!!!!! THAT VOICE!!!!! I can never get tired of listening to Wendy Moten's beautiful, angelic, powerful VOICE)))))))) I am her #1 fan since 1992 through her thick and thin.... SANG IT WENDY!!!!!!!! 💙
Just beginning to find out more about this talented singer,great vocals and choice of songs,don't compare her to others she is her own unique character
I have to say that Wendy moten is rear talent that didn't get what she deserved. Witney & Wendy are both top class singers shame Wendy didn't shine, grate song!
She is one of the best female voices ever seen her on the voice and still better than ever wendy moten your my queen of music out there on your own 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes...Wendy Moten the Incredible BeautifuL Voice American Singer... I had been listening and singing her songs since it's been released and when I'm in my 20s... This song and Come in out of the rain should be a Hit No. 1 then but not happening... Listening to her songs now brings Memories...She should be in line same as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey & other Pop Singers. Time flies...now 2022 and I still Very Much in Love with these 2 Lovely Songs. 💕🌹💕🌿🤩🌿🌹🌹💕🥰🥰🥰💕
We were like a flower That never reach full bloom We never gave our love much chance to grow Even though the feeling was wonderful We went on our separate ways And all we know It's what we share is more than most Cause we came all so very close to love But we let it slip away I always wondered why You never chose to stay So close to love Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday I find myself dreaming of How we came all so very close to love I always remember The way you care for me Time after time my life was in despair Yet somehow I always knew you'll be right there At times I did not have a prayer I'm sure that you and I both know That we came all so very close to love But we let it slip away I always wondered why You never chose to stay So close to love Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday And I think I had a lover And we came all so very close to love How can I face the fact it's over We're through I can't believe it's true When I'm alone Sometimes I wonder if you knew How much I care for you So I'm hanging on to the memories How hard you make sweet love to me And it's so hard to let it go When we came all so very close to love But we let it slip away I always wondered why You never chose to stay So close to love Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday I find myself dreaming of How we came all so very close to love We let it slip away I always wonder why You never chose to, chose to stay So close to love Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday I find myself dreaming I find myself dreaming of.... your love.....yeah...... So close So very close to your love
She came up when we thought we could only have "one" so unfortunately for Wendy, Whitney was around it seems....IDK bottom line Wendy is still doing her thing, so glad she got the Voice Bump!!
Believe it or not! I know Wendy Moten have song all types of music from jazz, country, r&b etc. This album is my favorite! I love the new school Wendy Moten but I refuse to bury the old school Wendy Moten! 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽😍
My dream was always to be a singer but God had other plans for me He didn’t give me a voice to sing except in the shower lol. I love you Remain as you are humble & a fighter❤️
Sadly the most underrated singer in the history of music. The world as missed out on this lady.
So right: Wendy Moten is one of the BEST!
I so agree with you...She is amazing! And I thought for sure, she will take the grand prize at the Voice...Oh well. I still have her songs on repeat in my ITUnes
Anybody here after hearing Wendy on the Voice tonight...9-20-21...she sounds like Whitney here...she should have been a huge star by now...she's beyond amazing.
Yesssssss I am
i'm in heaven indeed
1992 til infinity.
Yes..
Meeee
Her voice is right there with Whitney Houston. She will be a force to reckon with on The Voice as long as her song choices are her on!!!! She has an awesome instrument that shines. I hope someone puts her in the studio so we can listen to this kind of music again.
Yes, I hear Whitney in this performance. She is a talent. The way she tore up Aretha "Ain't No Way" though.
@@love_luxury_keys7454 YES she did! I was amazed! Not too many people can handle that song! To hear that she lost that competition doesn't sit well in my soul. I do believe she could sing anything!

Same here. Where was I..oh I know, listening to Whitney and Mariah who the parties in charge preferred to market. 🥲
Horrible Manager, perhaps?
I feel so heart broken for her.....but time and chance happens to everyone...its her time!
She's still absolutely stunning beautiful voice
@@frankielewis2751 she closed out tonight Extraordinairely.
C’mon, now…this voice is a phenomenon, this tone so rich. This woman was unbelievable then and still is now! The closest to Whitney and Ce Ce….why oh why has this voice been kept from us?? Lovely!
THE BEST SINGER EVER EVER.....SHE BETTER WIN THE VOICE....CAUSE SHE HAS AWESOME VOICE.....FOLKS SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL
She not only sounds like Whitney she looks a little like her. You've been a star all along. I'm glad the world is finally seeing your incredible talent. Love this song and of course your voice. Knock out looks and let knocked it out of the park. Congrats well done, well deserved, accolades for you

Oh my goodness, why have I *not* heard this song from, Wendy? Her voice is like tequila honey: full, raspy and so sweet. Lovely song
Why isnt this kind of music made nowadays? This is real music and real Singing.💕 why not make a new album with these songs?
How is it possible for me to meet this woman just now? How unfair, Lord!!
Simply amazing!
Resembles Whitney! I 🧡 your voice! 🔥🔥🔥 wish you all the luck in this business! You are worth it! Pro!
That's why she was put on the shelf
Wendy has never been more beautiful than in this video. WOW ❤
Sad and beautiful I think everyone has been through what this song is about and it’s memories that make it so hard to let go great voices beautiful woman take care ☃️❤️xxxx
We need to start a movement to get justice for, "So close to love" and "Come on in out of the rain". Yall KNOW she sang tha f*ck outta those songs. They did not give her the right promo. LET'S DO IT FOR HER!!
I want Justice for Wendy! And for the pain and suffering all those years I didnt know her/music when it could have soothed me...🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@debbrown7022 Agreed! Wendy is such a superb vocalist. Its her time!
So true🤦🏽♀️😂
It is! Even when she had her incident, she can back fighting! #JusticeForWendyMoten

I went to the David Foster event in Japan in 1994 and was stunned by her voice, such a power and beautiful voice she had
Omg so sad no more voices like this on The Billboards,,,,
Wow amazing voice. Hope you'll win the Voice👍

What a voice.

Been listening to Wendy a long time before she appeared on the voice. This has to be my favourite performance of hers ♥️
So beautiful, smart and on point

💕🌹💕🌿🤩🌿🌹🌹💕🥰🥰🥰💕
We were like a flower
That never reach full bloom
We never gave our love much chance to grow
Even though the feeling was wonderful
We went on our separate ways
And all we know
It's what we share is more than most
Cause we came all so very close to love
But we let it slip away
I always wondered why
You never chose to stay
So close to love
Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday
I find myself dreaming of
How we came all so very close to love
I always remember
The way you care for me
Time after time my life was in despair
Yet somehow I always knew you'll be right there
At times I did not have a prayer
I'm sure that you and I both know
That we came all so very close to love
But we let it slip away
I always wondered why
You never chose to stay
So close to love
Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday
And I think I had a lover
And we came all so very close to love
How can I face the fact it's over
We're through
I can't believe it's true
When I'm alone
Sometimes I wonder if you knew
How much I care for you
So I'm hanging on to the memories
How hard you make sweet love to me
And it's so hard to let it go
When we came all so very close to love
But we let it slip away
I always wondered why
You never chose to stay
So close to love
Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday
I find myself dreaming of
How we came all so very close to love
We let it slip away
I always wonder why
You never chose to, chose to stay
So close to love
Sometimes it seems like it was only yesterday
I find myself dreaming
I find myself dreaming of....
your love.....yeah......
So close
So very close to your love
Shes the most deserving 👏
I love this beautiful woman.❤
most underrated singer, incredibly talented

I was familiar before the voice. Check her and Michael McDonald
I love it.
Beautiful woman and nice voice!
My dream was always to be a singer but God had other plans for me
He didn’t give me a voice to sing except in the shower lol. I love you
Remain as you are humble & a fighter❤️
Sing Wendy sing!
I don't think they can beat her she's a veteran.
2024 still making my been pop❤
Second single was never going to surpass the previous but this actually the best. Don't listen to lyrics too closely it will make you cry.
Wendy's voice on The Voice brought me here
In 2024 the voice brought me here ❤
Increíble cantante
just listening to new songs 🤔💞💕🌹🌻🥰😘😎
Quê musica linda.
Nah, with this song, you brought it back! Your voice reminds me of Whitney Houston. I hope that's not a bad thing.🕎🕎🕒🕒⚓⚓🌊🌊🔱🔱🕊🕊
This is the person that should have played Whitney Huston she has the clear voice and the look.
Why didn't you go to the voice sooner Wendy 😢
LOVE 30/DEC/2024
Been listening to her music since the 90’s she was overshadowed due to Whitney and Mariah but ive always thought her voice was just as good
Wow, her voice is amazing.
She can stand next to Whitney Houston.
❤
