To think of the depth of heart and the understanding of, and empathy for, human character that is needed to write something like this leaves me both gobsmacked, and grateful to be alive at this moment, in this time, when such beauty exists. Ms. Bareilles has given us a gift for the ages!
McPhee is definitely holding back (which is definitely kind of the point of this version), but if this is the restrained version, the full out version can’t be anything but even more magical.
Yeah she’s purposefully holding back and also singing it in Sara’s usual key, which is lower than how she usually sings it in the show, which is phenomenal 😍 Love the stripped back intimacy of this tho!
Sara’s voice is so beautiful and calming. I cry everytime she hits high notes. She is one of my most favorite vocalists ever. I wish I could have a voice as powerful as hers one day.
The OG and the AMAZING Kat together in the same video! It just doesn't get ANY better than this! Sara wrote an iconic ballad interpreted so many different ways by Jesse, Betsy, Kat and of course her own incomparable take on Jenna but NONE of them hold a candle to this! So nice to see the knowing smile of thanks between them...gratitude to and for each other! This is EVERYTHING!
Jeff Garlick I see what you are saying, but honestly none of them hold a candle to Jessie’s (not Jesse) performance. There is a reason why she stepped into the role of Jenna before anyone else did. Sara is up there with her, but Kat falls incredibly short. The original purpose of both the movie and musical was never to be flashy and take away from the raw emotion. Katharine adds weird runs that do not make sense. It ultimately changes the overall emotional value and chips away at the moment onstage.
@H M lol I'm so confused about how you write comments? It's just you being angry at others for expressing their opinions whilst spamming emojis? Lol convincing
The beauty of this version is watching Sara look up at Katherine with the most immense sense of pride that her song is being sung just the way it should (and still the benchmark for all other covers). Stunning.
These two are simply amazing. I saw Katharine perform on the West End stage and was brought to tears. Such talented individuals! Will definitely come back for more.
I’ve listened to this countless times already 😬 but Sara and Katharine really do have 2 of the most soothing voices of any singers I’ve heard. So one the same song is double bonus! I could listen to them sing all day every day 😍
I just saw Shoshana Bean in Waitress on Monday. This was definitely one of the most moving songs and it leads me to listen to the soundtrack right when I got home.
Came here because of Sara, didn’t know this lady Katharine, and I was completely blown away by her incredible voice! She sings so effordlessly! Wow! Just... wow! I hope they make a album with her as Jenna (since I’ll probably never be able to watch the musical).
Omg! I’m obsessed with this musical and song. Katharine and Sara gave me everything. I’m so ready to see this on Saturday although my emotions are not 😭😌
Sublime. Just sublime. I saw the musical, and loved it, and this is fantastic in its stripped down, heart felt, no frills, talented rendition. Amazing. Well done.
Hi@@AerickahCruz, I think you can look at it at two perspectives. First is the literal one that she is messy within the kitchen or even at home. Two is the emotional or life choices that the character Jenna was making in the story that were kinda 'messy', given that she chose to stick with her abusive partner and that she while being pregnant hooked-up with her doctor. Kind means, even with all the mess she's making in her life, Jenna is still a kind and loving person. Hope this explains the line ~ "she is messy, but she is kind"
Went to see this down London on its opening weekend, however much I live this so g and adore her version, I can't help but feel disappointed that she held back so much
I WANT ALL JENNAS TO SING THIS TOGETHER!!!!
I second this
Can Jeremy Jordan be part of that, too?
yes pleaseeeeeeeee
Yeah like the burn medley
@@jacobmccain8794 the Burn medley is so iconic.
When I see Katharine McPhee, I am reminded of Smash. Love the songs in that show.
Ariel Same!
that show was SO underrated, the music was magical
I still listen to the music, I miss Smash, and rewatch it often.
Me tooooo! 😍

Kenneth Parker Well said!
Great observation Keneth Parker.
Absolutely agree!!!
Completely agree!!! Very well said...
So true! Well put.
McPhee is definitely holding back (which is definitely kind of the point of this version), but if this is the restrained version, the full out version can’t be anything but even more magical.
Saw her live and you're definitely right. The raw, full version is absolutely phenomenal.
It’s the most fantastic vocals I’ve ever seen live
She usually does the song in F# and Sara usually does it in F. It's in F for this version. :D
Yeah she’s purposefully holding back and also singing it in Sara’s usual key, which is lower than how she usually sings it in the show, which is phenomenal 😍 Love the stripped back intimacy of this tho!
Honestly preeeaaccchhhh
No matter how many times I hear this song I always end up crying
Hopefully Sara and Katharine collaborate on more music! Would love an original duet by Sara and Katharine!
OMG the way they smile at each other, they seem so proud of one another.
I love them both so much
This is awesome
Sara’s voice is so beautiful and calming. I cry everytime she hits high notes. She is one of my most favorite vocalists ever. I wish I could have a voice as powerful as hers one day.

@@jacejuliano6232 I agree. I definitely love Sara the most, but that's just because I'm also a huge fan of the rest of her work.
@H M oh no they're gay. That's so terrible, what do we do know? Oh wait being gay doesn't define a person and make them bad 😦🤔
@H M lol I'm so confused about how you write comments? It's just you being angry at others for expressing their opinions whilst spamming emojis? Lol convincing
@H M and umm "ya're"?

October 2019. I'm crying at 1:47 AM. 😭
I finally got to see Kat McPhee perform in Waitress on 01/02/20 and it is all this...and more. Great song(writer ) in Sara B and performance.
These two are simply amazing. I saw Katharine perform on the West End stage and was brought to tears. Such talented individuals! Will definitely come back for more.
1 January 2021. Crying at 01:43am 😭. Goosebumps everytime I watch this!
I’ve listened to this countless times already 😬 but Sara and Katharine really do have 2 of the most soothing voices of any singers I’ve heard. So one the same song is double bonus! I could listen to them sing all day every day 😍
God this song rips me apart each time. Pierces through my soul. Two of the best versions!
For some reason this "restrained" version pulls something from inside me. Something sad and beautiful at the same time. Love to Sara and Kat
it’s been so many years but the feeling is still there ...
I just saw Shoshana Bean in Waitress on Monday. This was definitely one of the most moving songs and it leads me to listen to the soundtrack right when I got home.
This is absolutely beautiful and both Sara and Katharine sound gorgeous! So glad I’ve gotten to see them both as Jenna
FIRST 3 SECONDS AND I'M ALREADY DEAD WASN'T READY
love their smiles at the end
i'm not crying YOU are
DAMN RIGHT I AM
Forget the echo and the enhancements a microphone can make - this is absolutely outstanding.
I never cry at songs but this. this is something else.
Same here...she is messy but she's kind..started the waterworks
Katherine McPhee is one of my favorite Jenna's. The cast she was a part of is my all time favorite!
Came here because of Sara, didn’t know this lady Katharine, and I was completely blown away by her incredible voice! She sings so effordlessly! Wow! Just... wow! I hope they make a album with her as Jenna (since I’ll probably never be able to watch the musical).
Watch SMASH and you'll be crazy about her.
Two incredible singers. I'm such a fan of both. I've been in love with Katharine since her very first audition. It's a shame she didn't win.
Loved this song the minute I heard it . Sara is an amazing writer and performer and she let Kay shine in this one .
Omg! I’m obsessed with this musical and song. Katharine and Sara gave me everything. I’m so ready to see this on Saturday although my emotions are not 😭😌
have fun today
Since I discovered this song on Alba's voice (a blonde Spanish beginner songer) I fall in love, but this😍😍😍, I don't wanna move from here. I love Sara
Whenever I see videos like this I get really excited because it reminds me of that one time I went to London and saw Katharine sing this live!
Oy, this song... Makes me teary-eyed, every single time! And this is a really beautiful duet! Well done!
Sublime. Just sublime.
I saw the musical, and loved it, and this is fantastic in its stripped down, heart felt, no frills, talented rendition. Amazing. Well done.
NO WORDS... UTTER PERFECTION... LOVED YOU KAT SINCE SMASH AND AMERICAN IDOL
So beautiful !!! Love their voices
Saw The Waitress twice in London, and Katherine McPhee was amazing
amazing, seen kat yesterday in London and was blown away- so talented- actor and singer. 5 stars
This song just tears at my heart.
It’s a perfect song. It haunts me.
In loooooooooooooove with Katharine's voice. She's an angel guys...two angels singing😍

Ladies giving us pure emotions. Damn.

This is the two most underrated artist!!! Such a beautiful angelic performance!! 😍😍😍 I need an album for their duet! 😍😍
The way Sarah looks at Kat as she sings 😭 so good!!
What a beautiful voices!
She is messy, but she's kind. --- Most relatable part of the song. :) I ♥ Sarah!
this line always confused me can u explain?
Hi@@AerickahCruz, I think you can look at it at two perspectives. First is the literal one that she is messy within the kitchen or even at home.

I just cry....😢 What a song

This duet is fantastic !!! I love that song and these voices ! 💕
Went to see this down London on its opening weekend, however much I live this so g and adore her version, I can't help but feel disappointed that she held back so much
Lucas Delaney same but it's a stripped back version so I get why she's holding back, but yeah hearing her sing it live was just something else 🙌😭❤️
This video is magic in front of my eyes
A collaboration of my 2 fave artists!! More videos please!! ❤️❤️
Awesome ❤️ two wonderful voices!!!! It touches me deeply!!!! Katharine ..... must have one of your CDs!

I love Katherine but no one sings this better than Sara. The emotion and depth of her voice just makes this song hers and only hers
i am such a fan of this
Amazing!!!
Well that was special!
Now my life is complete!
So beautiful 💖
I’m not crying....
Saw Kat yesterday and this does not do her live performance justice. She is amazing.
I agree, she was sensational
Why didn't they sing harmony tho?
I think that this song is meant to be simple, yet deep.
I was waiting for the harmony too! Still enjoyed tho
Maannn, I was in complete shock to realize that this is Paige from Scorpion, I had no idea tgat she was a broadway singer
She started on American Idol. She waz runner up
@@SimplyShelby2010 I had no idea
And she started in a musical drama on NBC for two seasons called Smash. Great songs and great singer!!!
@@melanieeslinger2973 I'll definitely check that out
Greatness.
I saw sara on her 2nd stint on the waitress. My eyes were bawling.
This is too beautiful😭❤️
I really love this song 😭💕🔥
AHHHH SO AMAZING
Beautiful
Could listen to this on repeat 😩 .... oh wait I already am! 😆 so good 😍
