I think simon has GREAT analogys. That's why he's such a good judge. He knows exactly what he wants to say, describes his feelings very well, and is able to think of it right on the spot.
I love McPhee she has a great voice within her range, where she gets nailed by the judges rightfully so is when she strays into the upper levels that really stretch her vocal range. Theres nothing wrong with that she's not Whitney Houston or Celine Dion and she doesn't need to be to be successful as is apparent. As she continues to gain experience she learn how far she can push it and where not to go with her music.
This is really beautiful and by far one of her best performances ever! I loved everything about this performance and arrangement. It was perfectly flawlessly. I also loved Jena's version of this as well these two versions are my top 2 favorite versions. Simon was wrong about this. The voters proved Simon wrong by making her safe and not putting her in the bottom three or two.
Did you guys know that in Finland all those who had won Idols are disappeared almost completely but those who came second or third are rocking their way up.
Her voice is absolutely enchanting but I kind of agree with the judges on this one. The beginning was beautiful but she kind of oversang the song in my opinion toward the end. I don't really like the way she sang the ending but her eyes really gleamed in the beginning. So this performance was a B-
have to agree with Simon. It was so beautiful up to 1:30. her voice made me want to cry and then the arrangement suddenly changed and it was disappointing. But I love her voice and she is so talented!
Early in his Career, Frank Sinatra had a voice that was strong enough that he sang with no vigbratro. It was very impressive. McPhee is the opposite of that when on stage. But my guess is that any producer would never let her get away with that histronics on a record.
I've always liked her voice a lot and this was good but like Simon said, it was a bit too much and lacked emotion. Her version with Andrea Bocelli though, now that is just beautiful.
Her performance with Bocelli sounded just like this one - harsh; loud; and very far removed from what should be a gentle-sounding song about falling in love.
Dang, no wonder why I wasn't a big fan of her during AI! She sounds AMAZING, but the judges TOTALLY rip her apart.....dang, did they want us not to like her? This is beautiful...ten times better than ANYTHING American Idol today. They are so mean...hahaha she always just shrugs and has no idea what to say... Awkward moment when they mention her shoes and she says not to look at her toes, and then she has a song called "open toes" on her first album....
They though Chris Daughtry's vote off was a mistake. That they thought so many people were going to vote for him anyways that people didn't vote for him. As for Katherine, I'm not sure what the stories is but she's gone to places in acting and singing (before she sang, she was trying for acting too)
Simon has so mellowed over the years. Kat was the best singer in the final two and should have won. Her career ha buried the gray haired Teen Angel performer that was voted in as winner.
I completely agree with Simon. Although she has a beautiful and strong voice, this wasn't the song for her to showcase her talent with. "Can't help falling in love" is a classic and the lyrics are so powerful that it doesn't need that "gallon of cream" on it. She butchered a classic almost the same way Christina Aguilera butchered "at last" at Etta James funeral
Compared to other versions of this song this doesn't crack my top ten versions but maybe it's because the quality...still I know she is mega talented and should've won but the only winners who found success are Kelly C., and I'm hoping Phillip goes the distance.
I believe this song would sound better with a softer delivery - her performance is somewhat harsh, and too loud for a song about falling in love; and her facial expressions do not convey the sensitivity of the feeling of falling in love. I've heard other vocalists perform this song softly, and the gentle approach is more appropriate for a song about love.
Some may point to women voting for others such as Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, or Jordin Sparks. But the truth is that these girls were not as beautiful or sexy as Kat. Though Carrie and Jordin have matured beautifully since then. Enter the green eyed monster. Envy.
These shows hide true talent when they find it. But don't pick on Taylor he's touring with a production of Grease now playing the part of the Teen angel ( one song) .
Well Taylor Hicks said that he wanted to entertain people, maybe now he's happy back home doing it. You don't have to be famous to like what you're doing

funny, its been so long since her American Idol season and still to this day brings me to tears hearing Kat sing. :) best voice ever!!!
Still gives me the chills and still brings tears to my eyes.
she is so beuatiful... and has such incredible voice

wow that s voice is incredible , thank you katheryne
Katharine singing Beautiful on Smash is SOOO AMAZING I listen to it at least 3 times a day
She is so beautiful and talented
Simon is always spot on!!
I love McPhee she has a great voice within her range, where she gets nailed by the judges rightfully so is when she strays into the upper levels that really stretch her vocal range.

Aà
This performance made me fall in love with her. The new season of Scorpion brought me back to this...
Lllllllll
Awesome
I love how he sings all the feeling that puts you sing high and low but these words does not encountered too many correct as to say how well it sings.
Don't think anyone can sing this better than Elvis!. Elvis has so much emotion in his songs!
True many singers tend to butcher the song. Oversinging it when its suppose to be a love song.
Beautiful. No more needs to be said.
Katharine you are exceptional. I just love hearing you sing. Are you singing to your love.
Boy! She is pretty and a great voice.
This is really beautiful and by far one of her best performances ever! I loved everything about this performance and arrangement. It was perfectly flawlessly. I also loved Jena's version of this as well these two versions are my top 2 favorite versions. Simon was wrong about this.

She was in the bottom two that week....Get your fact straight first

Love your voice, was wondering if you ever sang Bridge over troubled water
Beautiful not word!
I love Katharine and I LOVE Elvis but I have to agree with Simon.
excelentes videos, excelentes cantantes!!
Did you guys know that in Finland all those who had won Idols are disappeared almost completely but those who came second or third are rocking their way up.
Uauuu super, super talent😍😍😍😍
She’s such a gracious, talented and beautiful woman. The judges were endeavoring to be negative...and wholly inaccurate.

She is the best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
simon's analogy cracks me up
GLEEM IN HER EYE.YOU BET BROTHER.SHE IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.COULD SING TO ME ANYTIME.HOW THE HELL SHE LOST IS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION???????
This was the only song I felt anything from her during her idol time.
gracias
I kind of agree with the judges.... But she's still owner of a beautiful voice!
I've always liked her voice a lot and this was good but like Simon said, it was a bit too much and lacked emotion. Her version with Andrea Bocelli though, now that is just beautiful.
Her performance with Bocelli sounded just like this one - harsh; loud; and very far removed from what should be a gentle-sounding song about falling in love.
doyougetmesweetheart You go around and take multiple opportunities to say that same trite crap. Everyone's a critic. You know jackshit about it.
***** Exactly she took a softer approach and it was truly beautiful!
She is great on Scorpion. Pretty lady, and oh ya, no tat's.
ew
Katharine👍👍
Beutifull,
i love how things like this got criticized to death, now awful performances are praised. the judges have gotten SO soft.
Dang, no wonder why I wasn't a big fan of her during AI! She sounds AMAZING, but the judges TOTALLY rip her apart.....dang, did they want us not to like her? This is beautiful...ten times better than ANYTHING American Idol today. They are so mean...hahaha she always just shrugs and has no idea what to say...
Awkward moment when they mention her shoes and she says not to look at her toes, and then she has a song called "open toes" on her first album....
SCORPION!!!!!!
You're a real one if you know what movie she's in 😂 love her
GUM COMMERCIAL!!🔥😍
Lmao uh no. That's Haley Reinhart in the gum commercial smh
Redemptions Only obviously. But that's the song. Smh
I think that was great!
Can't believe she was on Community. She should've sang on there!
every guy should get to have a girl like katherine at sometime in their life........she's a dream!!!
She came 2nd but has done Real well for herself.
She kinda looks like Sandra Bullock when she smiles :)
Wow
They though Chris Daughtry's vote off was a mistake. That they thought so many people were going to vote for him anyways that people didn't vote for him. As for Katherine, I'm not sure what the stories is but she's gone to places in acting and singing (before she sang, she was trying for acting too)
Scorpion is the only reason I'm here
I second that! lol
Amazing! Better than Jena Irene. Katharine you're incredible!
Simon has so mellowed over the years. Kat was the best singer in the final two and should have won. Her career ha buried the gray haired Teen Angel performer that was voted in as winner.
Nice song Elvis!
I completely agree with Simon. Although she has a beautiful and strong voice, this wasn't the song for her to showcase her talent with. "Can't help falling in love" is a classic and the lyrics are so powerful that it doesn't need that "gallon of cream" on it. She butchered a classic almost the same way Christina Aguilera butchered "at last" at Etta James funeral
Absolutely agree with you. Sometimes less is more.
I love you Kathy
She was a bit pitchy. First time I ever heard her not be spot on with her notes. She just had a bad night. All singers have them.
Well there goes the old saying; NO POINTS FOR SECOND PLACE
Sad part is I can't even remember the winner! lol
SOUL PATROL!
Compared to other versions of this song this doesn't crack my top ten versions but maybe it's because the quality...still I know she is mega talented and should've won but the only winners who found success are Kelly C., and I'm hoping Phillip goes the distance.
August 19, 2017. Anyone?
I fell the day we met. Just took yrs to tell him. :-/
No disrespect to Katharine she's an amazing singer, but you guys should hear Andrea Bocelli singing this
They sang it together. He put their duet on his "Under a Desert Sky" cd.
Will Nedin Her rendition with him is much better!
Friggin Simon lol
"Cingular" hehe so old :3
I think the song choice was really good actually but she should have just toned down the arrangement of the end
I don't like how loud she's singing this... but she's talented.
S2
This is conjuring song :) lorraine and ed were dancing after fightning the nun
I have to agree with Simon. . it was too much cream. .. .I love cream. .but it was too much. .
I would have to agree with simon 100% here, but once you hear Ingrid Michaelson's version you'll understand where I am coming from
I believe this song would sound better with a softer delivery - her performance is somewhat harsh, and too loud for a song about falling in love; and her facial expressions do not convey the sensitivity of the feeling of falling in love. I've heard other vocalists
perform this song softly, and the gentle approach is more appropriate for a song about love.
doyougetmesweetheart I understand what you mean exactly. She definitely took a softer approach later when she sang it with Andrea Bocelli.
Like si llegaste acá por Scorpion en 2017
Talk about a total package!
Some may point to women voting for others such as Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, or Jordin Sparks. But the truth is that these girls were not as beautiful or sexy as Kat. Though Carrie and Jordin have matured beautifully since then. Enter the green eyed monster. Envy.
ESTA VEIO PARA FICAR O CANTO É DA ALMA .
Why didn't she win?
Simon knows what he is doing! She is awesome, but after 12 years, we can see how over produced this performance is.
These shows hide true talent when they find it. But don't pick on Taylor he's touring with a production of Grease now playing the part of the Teen angel ( one song) .
I bet Tommy wanted to do her. He said the same thing about Mariah too. lol
Well Taylor Hicks said that he wanted to entertain people, maybe now he's happy back home doing it. You don't have to be famous to like what you're doing
