Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Wé McDonald was a favorite on Season 11 of The Voice before Season 11 even officially began.

That’s because she was featured — along with Darby Walker — on the special sneak peek at Season 11 that aired after the closing ceremony of the Olympics.

Everyone got to hear her sing “Feeling Good” and turn four chairs with her blind audition, something only five other contestants wound up doing.

Just 17 when she auditioned, Wé was the youngest singer to make the Top 12 and she’s the only finalist who hasn’t already released original music.

Pre-Voice, she studied at the Harlem School of the Arts. Here’s a look back at her Voice performances.
