Throughout the series, some audience members disliked her performances and said she had destroyed the songs. But Wu, whose voice bears a resemblance to Kimbra, Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Gin Wigmore, was proud of her own style. In the final rounds, Wu experimented an improvisation of "Itch"(癢) by Huang Ling, which she combined with "The Wandering Songstress"(天涯歌女) by Zhou Xuan, causing controversy.

From December 2012 to February 2013, Wu attended a CCTV's talent contest miniseries Dreams Chorus(the Chinese version of Clash of the Choirs), [4] leading Team Shanghai to sing for charity funds for Raleigh China: Expeditions. Although her team did not win the contest, it raised 37 million yuan in donations. [5]
