The Lips are going to go talk the talk elsewhere literally.
This is way too much for me.
I am way out of my comfort zone."

But, you know what,The Masked Singeris a very popular show.
I knew all the judges, except for Ken [Jeong], and now I know Ken.
And I knowNick Cannon.
I’ve known him for years.
They were so nice, with their calls from L.A. to New York.
It was just so nice.
And I said, “Let me just do it.
How difficult could it be?”
So, they asked me what song I wanted, my musical selection.
And when we got out there, it seemed all right.
It’s a little weird because we had to hide under street costumes the whole time.
I got gloves to hide my fingers.
They said pull your hair back so they can’t see whether you’re a man or a woman.
I had the mask around the nose and mouth on, which was black.
They also provided a big giant shield man that would also be pimpin'.
I’m gonna go out here, and have a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
And when I get back home, ah, I can just take a big sigh of relief.
Some fans recognized it as the visor the show gives contestants to wear.
Did theMasked Singerproducers say anything to you about that?No, they didn’t say anything to me.
I’m gonna keep all thisMasked Singerstuff until after the big reveal.
I’m not gonna wear this anymore."
But it was just so cool!
I was in love with the visor.
How did you feel about your performance?It was a typical me performance.
You know, I’m not a singer, or a dancer.
I’m just Wendy.
And I think people will have a good smile and laughter when they see it.
And why did you choose the Lips costume?It was the most beautiful thing.
If I say I’m from Jersey oh, that’s Wendy.
But Nick [Cannon] guessed me right away, I must tell you.
And he came out laughing.
He’s like, “I know exactly who this is.”
I don’t even remember the questions he asked me.
Because it was just, you know, “Oh, Nick.
When are you gonna get back with Mariah [Carey, his ex-wife]?”
I liked them together.
You know, stuff like that.
For some people, there’s really no disguising anything.
So you weren’t disappointed that so many people figured out it was you?No.
Well, I am shocked that they knew about the visors.
That’s more like an L.A. vibe.
My family has a big mouth.
The show’s a whole lot of fun.
It’s a major production.
It’s not some cheesy, stupid show.
They put a lot into it, and they take very good care of their contestants.
So if you get the call, just say yes.
Just go on the show, and have fun.
