Katharine McPhee Is incredible!! Not only for singing such a great rendition but being able to stand there with a smile and not blow her lid when the judges completely and utterly misjudged her. I remember this season very well and the judges didn't give her a fair ride most of the competition. I'm just glad she's done well for herself post-idol.
The Lady Can Sing. We all know it. She's not Witney Houston.. (Lov Witney .. She's Catherine McAfee...and that more than enough. The judges really attacked here here. In thinking about it I think that they were trying to keep here humble? Like maybe they know something.. She has a beautiful voice..
@@tristanmason7405 that’s how you describe a great star? She married the greatest hit maker of all time. David Foster. The two of them are going out on tour together. I’ve seen both of them separately. They’re going to be mind blowing together. Katharine did spectacularly for herself!!
@ Cub Dy And that’s how you measure a “great star@? And with bias(marrying Foster the greatest writer ever 😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣). I listed some of the industry standards, you mention her sex partner. Bahahaha Bahahaha. Case rested!
Her Mom and Dad look so very proud, not surprisingly. Katharine McPhee is about to be, hands down, the next America's Sweetheart. She's been that for millions of us for several years. Love you, Kat!
This girl (now a woman) sings so well and she’s so much talented (as a singer and as a front-woman) that It’s not surprise that a Master (I would say a king) of pop music like David Foster fell in love with and married her. She’s not only gorgeous: she’s a very good artist.
She was absolutely amazing and the performance was completely out of this world good! She really deserved the apologies from the judges the next night.
My gosh, they raked her over the coals. I mean, they acted like she was horrible and she was nothing but awesome. Great performance by a beautiful young woman who took their biased “opinions” with grace and class. Who’s got the last laugh now in 2019?!!!!
Well done Catherine. You sing superbly. And you married one of my most favourite music producers of the modern times. Pure inspiration as a musician as well. with awesome congrats Swift01 from Durban, South Africa
Just seeing the tears in her fathers eyes during that performance and then hearing Simons cruel critique got to me. If he regreted it, I can respect that.
Katharine did a great job with this song that Whitney Houston nailed and was so famous for. I really loved Whitney Houston but Katharine did do the song justice!
so amazing and don't worry about her not winning. I always thought that most of the time the ones that don't make it are more successful than the ones that actually won. and look she's on scorpion a super great show
So I had no clue who she was until a friend turned me on to Smash. She's an amazing singer, and while she sounds great here, she sounds even better now. I look forward to seeing more of her.
She doesn't need to be compared to Whitney Houston. She only needs to be compared to 6 other contestants. Aren't they always harping on the contestants to take risks and go for big songs?
@@ELITEmyfrat I disagree with that perspective. That's like saying someone else owns music (or any other genre), and that another person shouldn't reach and stretch and give what they have in creativity.
I need to make correction on my comment earlier I meant to say she was "already a star when she step on that STAGE.." YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST KEEP IT GOING LOVE YOU AND THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE. GOOD JOB DAVID FOSTER AND OF COURSE YOUR FAMILY. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH.
This is back when American Idol was worth watching. The judges were brutal and honest. Gave praise when it was due, but let the singers know when they gave crappy performances. Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and the other guy are not genuine and very honest to the contestants as they should be.
@@DANGJOS They absolutely blew it and they knew it because the next day Simon himself apologized to her -which he never does- as well as the other judges. ua-cam.com/video/qRe6YUW6TY8/v-deo.html
Simon's and Ryan's comments, wtf? She is amazing! One of the best singers out there! Just want to throw it in their faces, because she's amazing in SMASH and everyone loves her!
+note2owns On November 6, 2013 Hicks, Clay Aiken and Ashanti appeared on the episode Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, "Dissonant Voices," portraying singing judges on a fictional television show called American Diva. Guess his best.
Obviously the judges are right (especially Simon) which is why she is now on a hit TV show!! I've always suspected that IDOL doesn't really select the most talented contestants and that the feedback given is to create dramatic tension. I mean, come on, Katherine was amazing!!
Both Randy and Simon are over the top here. Yes they idolizes Whitney and to them and many it is sanctimonious for others to sing what she recorded. But I gather the composer of the song would take issue with that from a business stance and you can't prevent others from singing a particular song. No one holds exclusive rights over singing a song.
Wow. Gracias chicos, esto realmente ayudará para mi examen de español por la mañana. Y yo pensaba que estaba perdiendo el tiempo aquí. Gracias de parte de un ventilador de Inglés.
Kat is Absolutely ADORABLE ! and one of the GREATEST Talents of our time ! Paula was helpful ,it's wise advise ! You will notice this Young Exciting Talented Gorgeous Woman Become an Icon and one of the greatest Stars of our time ! Smash is just the beginning ! Keep an eye on this Girl as she will easily surpass all the competition. As for Whitney Houston she was great and will be vaguely remembered as the Pop star that O-Deed. Katharine will not disappoint us She's one of a kind ! Caio !
Clive Davis invited Katharine to the Charity of Hope Fund Raising in 2008. Katharine sang The Bodyguard medley and the late Whitney Houston gave her the standing ovation and praised she has awesome vocals.
Welp, she took it in pride at least. But I have to say, were those judges expecting her to carry it JUST like Whitney?? OR make it her own??? That’s what I stand by and that’s exactly what she did....made it her own and she KILLED IT! Yes, it was pitchy in some spots but you know, nerves also plays a roll in that as well. I’m a vocal coach as well as a performer and the girl hands down did good. Taylor Hicks....hmmmm....where is he even today? 🤦♀️
Love your deep, rich tone...Oh so nice. I'll never forget seeing you perform this great song years ago... loved it then, and still today. And I think the judges were a bit hard on you. But that's show business for you; you have to be able to take the rejections and get back up and keep going forward, and I hope you've kept-up with your singing. Your an amazing young lady and have lots of talent to share with many.
Wow. That was way better in my memory. I really don't remember it being that bad. Doesn't matter now because now she's amazing, but man she came a long way.
Back then Rarely did anyone who deserved to win did now after years of making records and many tours with Icons , Kat is an actress on Scorpion and I will add Very Beautiful also as an adult .
+John Porterfield Plus she was a hit in "hitlist" and Smash both based on broadway actors and actressess. She is fantastic. She was in that Anna faris film "house bunny" too and sang. She has albums and acting to her name :D She was going places the minute she was picked for Idol. Taylor hicks was a publicity stunt, it had to be....
What was up with the judges? Her "natural voice" and her "false voice"? BS, because I think she showed she's capable of singing a wide range of notes! Katherine did a fantastic job of singing this song! All of you judges really missed the mark on this one, and now Katherine is laughing all the way to the bank. 💃👛
She is now one of the most commanded artists all over the world singing with the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Barbra Streisand, Michael Bolton, and if you're connected to David Foster you're gonna end up loaded - FACT !! Not as good as Whitney? then she wasn't, now she can hold a candle to her that's for sure, the last ten years she has grown into a superstar imo with a voice to match!!
Paula was actually absolutely on point. My favorite Katharine songs are always the beautiful quieter ones, just listen to "Run" on Smash, and I don't even watch Smash. The others were way harsh.
Look at her now ...13 years later....a bonafide star.. Thanks Katherine for not giving up!
As a Whitney fan, I think she did an awesome job! Her gorgeous tone is enough to do justice to this song. Kat is totally underrated.
Katharine McPhee Is incredible!! Not only for singing such a great rendition but being able to stand there with a smile and not blow her lid when the judges completely and utterly misjudged her.

This was the last season I watched this show!
Funny thing is that a few months back She called Simon and admitted that she sucked XD so she sang the song again and asked for a re-judging. Hahaha
O que falar dessa dama da música que só nos encanta ela se apresentando para nos encantar cante sempre ficaremos encantados
I think she was absolutely phenomenal!!!
I love how her eyes sparkle when she sings. she's a favorite.
Glad she followed her heart and showed the world what great talent she has. Amazing voice!!!
Despite these miserable judges, Katherine went on to be a great star. You go girl! You rock!
She did!? A great star??! 😂😂. How many albums sold? How many awards received? Grammys? None. World tour? None.
@@tristanmason7405 that’s how you describe a great star? She married the greatest hit maker of all time. David Foster. The two of them are going out on tour together. I’ve seen both of them separately. They’re going to be mind blowing together. Katharine did spectacularly for herself!!

Um K is not Foster, she is the singer in question he is not…. Totally different person. You are so funny.
@@tristanmason7405 give her time. She’s just getting started.
This is my favorite performance of this song! Seriously! I actually loved it!
Her Mom and Dad look so very proud, not surprisingly. Katharine McPhee is about to be, hands down, the next America's Sweetheart. She's been that for millions of us for several years. Love you, Kat!
Her and her fathers connection was one of the most emotional things to watch on Idol, ugh tears every time!
Saw Catherine and david foster live this week. Just outstanding.
Wow, the judges really ripped her apart. She had the last laugh. Married David Foster! Haha! She’s a great singer! 🌟
well hes an old fart with money prolly not what she had in mind🤣
absolutely a stunning performance
She is so beautiful!
C'me on, she did it amazing!!!!
She's AMAZING!!! Katharine, your great, don't let them tell you differently!!!

The Joke was on all of THEM BAD JUDGMENT HOWEVER THEY MADE HER A GREAT STAR WITH THEIR ''BAD" JUDGEMENTS WHO'S LAUGHING NOW😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"It was way too big for you" WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!! She absolutely killed it omg
No she didn't. You need to look further than a shallow analysis. It was pitchy and lacked emotion.
Agreed it was pitchy, if it was the voice she would of been eliminated in the lives.
@@matthewmead121 the voice autotunes their singers lol
@@DANGJOS wrong
@@DANGJOS what? it was perfect!
It's amazing they are critical with one of the best singers in decades. She is a star in 2018.
I love her hidden confidence! She's such a great performer.
My gosh, they raked her over the coals. I mean, they acted like she was horrible and she was nothing but awesome. Great performance by a beautiful young woman who took their biased “opinions” with grace and class. Who’s got the last laugh now in 2019?!!!!
I get the chills every time I hear her sing this sing!!!!
Well done Catherine.
You sing superbly.
And you married one of my most favourite music producers of the modern times.
Pure inspiration as a musician as well.
with awesome congrats Swift01 from Durban, South Africa
Man, that gave me chills! Absolutely effortless... What I love the most, is that even though it is a 100% W.Houston song, she did it her way :-)
She did phenomenal, judges are crazy
@alisha woods You didn't notice the numerous pitchy spots and lack of emotion?
the judges were wrong- plain and simple. She is magnificent.
Just seeing the tears in her fathers eyes during that performance and then hearing Simons cruel critique got to me. If he regreted it, I can respect that.
Awesome awsome version of this song. Katharine has gone on to becoming great singer!
absolutely stunning
At least David Foster knew true takent when he saw it 😉😍!!!
Katharine did a great job with this song that Whitney Houston nailed and was so famous for. I really loved Whitney Houston but Katharine did do the song justice!
@Karen Hunt You think so?
And then she marries the writer and producer... Good for you girl!
Who? David Foster?
Dedik Canda Yes
She married someone else first and David told her she was marrying the wrong person.
so amazing and don't worry about her not winning. I always thought that most of the time the ones that don't make it are more successful than the ones that actually won. and look she's on scorpion a super great show
She doesn't need to be Whitney to take out this song brilliant ! For me, this was very beautiful and powerful performance....
She's absolutely beautiful in every way. Katherine won in Life.
Wow....she has a beautiful voice... There will never be another Houston but, this is American Idol.. judge her amongst her peers.
Para mim essa mocinha foi uma doce agradável surpresa! Melhor que muitas que estão por aí. Sua meiguice é singeleza encantaram os brasileiros.
She did very well.Deserved to win it all.
I think she is singing even better these days! She will be a superstar. Have so loved her on Smash!
So I had no clue who she was until a friend turned me on to Smash. She's an amazing singer, and while she sounds great here, she sounds even better now. I look forward to seeing more of her.
She has great stage presence as well as a good singer
She's married to David Foster now. I think she got over it and won in many other ways.
Simon took the words right out of my mouth!
love the song well done on this song
She doesn't need to be compared to Whitney Houston. She only needs to be compared to 6 other contestants. Aren't they always harping on the contestants to take risks and go for big songs?
You CAN NOT do a Whitney song unless you are going to do it justice. That's an unwritten rule.
Yep
Agree with Aiden
@@ELITEmyfrat I disagree with that perspective. That's like saying someone else owns music (or any other genre), and that another person shouldn't reach and stretch and give what they have in creativity.

McPhee is fabulous man oh man!!!!
Wow I just adore this woman...she is so amazing....the judges are smuches...
Katharine has determination and fortitude, also very polite and positive!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My gosh! They ripped her to shreds. 😲😲 She sounded very good to me and she looked very pretty too. ❤❤❤

skip031890 I definetly agree with you, but in this case, the judges completely blew it.
They didn't blow it. She did not sing this song well. They were honest.
@@TheMindfulOne They did not blow it. The performance lacked emotion and was pitchy.

Amazing and so gorgeous. Awe struck!!!
Yes, she's definitely gorgeous!
And yet Taylor Hicks won over this amazing voice?! What a sham!!!!
and what's funny I have never heard anything from him. until u reminded me of his name. I heard her name more than him

A trio totally lame. @@carter4871
Taylor who?????? Yeah, that's my point.
Sexism. That's why. No one knows who he is now.

Kat ROCKS!
The yellow dress is stunning!
She killed it
the judges just needed to say something negative to a outstanding performance. She was flawless and expressive
I loved Taylor, but Katharine was a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better talent xx
You are tone deaf if you loved Taylor.he simply sucked!!!
The judges were brutal!
all i can says SHE SING IT WELL
i love her own way of singing...

Best singer EVER on American Idol.
she makes it her own, thats the point of the show, its not comparing them to already famous singers, they are creating their identity
This was a Perfectly Beautiful Performance! The judges were harsh, and did Simon really need to stick the knife in? Brutal Man.
Still blows me away!
I remember watching it live. She’s amazing
I thought she handled the feedback with great maturity, and was a good sport about it.
She should have won.
She won all of my america....
Michele ABSOLUTELY!!! That was perfect!
Sometimes judges comments are ridiculous,I love her.
Great job goddess
Katherine version of Whitney Houston's song was "Awesome"...These clown judges don't know a true vocal talent when they hear one..Now she is famous...
The best thing I love about her is how her father looks so proud
So amazing
WOW Look at her now. I bet those judges ate their words knowing she became an entertainer and still touring!
