It was so funny to me when Andrea told David he has to say “she is also nice, beautiful, and young.” I was thinking David was like “yeah I know... that’s why I’m gonna ask her out” haha
This is a full circle moment for Kat! Her future husband is in the room and later in life she sings sings one of the most iconic songs with Andrea. Wow!
14 years ago my dad watched this episode and my mom was pregnant with me and my parents were still deciding a name for me and my dad heard her voice and told my mom he wanted to name me Katherine because of her 😂
Lol something similar happened when my mom was pregnant with my older sister. My mom said she was watching a Katharine Hepburn movie and she said “If I have a daughter, I’m naming her Katharine.” Also, something funny, my sister’s best friend’s name is Katherine, like your spelling. So there’s my sister KathARine and her best friend KathERine.
What a staggering talent. I am still trying to figure out why the judges that night criticized her, then, the next night, came back and apologized. Rumor has it that David Foster, who wrote the song, thought she was terrific with it.
Katharine did a beautiful young lady who sings like an angel. I have no ideas why the judges didn't like her version of Whitney Houston's sing. Perhaps because they didn't know it was David Foster who had actually suggested the changes!
I really like Katharine, big fan, but Leona Lewis did this for the X-Factor, blows this performance out of the water. Hopefully she will make a comeback because her voice was a true gift. You should all check it out.
My problem with Kat on these big songs was that when she started "belting" her voice would do this weird warbly thing. She had a great voice, just not a belter's voice.
No, I don't think it was out of her league, I think she did an spectacular performance and also gave me goosebumps. I think Simon, Paula and company were extremely cruel to misprize and scorn Miss McPhee. Sad but a true reviewer always present the positive and respect the audience who at the end has the last call.
I can't believe she lost American Idol to what's-his-name. She is infinity more talented. IMHO she deserves to be as well-known as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.
+shadowheart52 Hahaha. an octave? you obviously have no idea what an octave is. she would be singing the beginning of the song like the "crash test dummies" singer if you dropped the song octave.
I remember not liking this performance because it seemed that the song was bigger than her. She was doing more jazzy/bluesy songs on the show and she had sung songs that were not as mainstream on the show, and this was such a powerbelter song. I thought her voice didn’t need to be loud for her to connect with the audience…but watching it again, it’s okay this time. She was still true to her style. I still think her rendition needed that oomph, but overall she kept it classy.
She lost because there was a popular website that intentionally screwed up voting to make sure the most untalented person won. They had a phrase "WGWG" or "White guy with guitar".
@POPJack1717 Yea, kinda like how Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Pink, just can't get that raw power behind their voices... Oh wait-- That's right. They CAN.
@neovidio this is not a bad comment! haha, I can see why you'd say that, I think Charice's voice a very uncommon strenght, but I like Katherine's voice better (color), I would pick hers over Charice's But even her has recognized Kat's talent, she made a cover of kat's over the rainbow version, I wanna think it's cause she liked it.
Shes so young and pretty talented girl and a fan since idol days, just cant believe she married an old guy but who am i to judge if they truly are in love. Good luck ti your new family.
I've just listened to a podcast where she's said about herself that she was "screeching" in this song and her performance was not so good. Geez, I wish I could sing this "bad".
I still laughed at Simon bashing this performance on performance night then praising it on the results show minutes before it was revealed that she was in the top 2 of the night personally I think Elliott should've been in the top 2 with Chris that night.
ImSoCheesy100 I had no idea she was a singer until I told my mom that she was on Scorpion and she's like no she's a singer from American Idol and I said next week when Scorpion comes on, sit your butt down and pay attention to it and you'll know
+ImSoCheesy100 She also you used to be on a show called smash that ended a few years ago. It was about her being a star on broadway and playing Marilyn Monroe. You should look it up if you like musicals and stuff like that :) its a great show.
she made the song hers. she can't sing like Whitney, no one can, so she sang it her way. the beginning sounded a little off though, like her voiced cracked. but she did the best she could with a very difficult song
With all my musical respects to Jennifer Hudson and Katherine McPhee - there's only one Whitney. The vocal elegance, strength, sweetness, purity, and command in Whitney's voice during her peak years, is truly like no other.
I remember being a fan from her first Idol audition. Couldn't believe she didn't WIN. But the proof is in the career since then. Love Katherine! My forever favorite is still her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
David was low key in love with her. The way he was looking at her when she wasn't looking. I know that look lol. And now they married. They got married June 2019.
Wrong song choice. Her voice is actually very average (I really don't get why she is so overrated here on TH-cam?), and this song is too big for her. When Whitney sang on stage, she blew off everyone's mind with the power, charisma, dynamics in her voice and her style, whereas Katharine sounds too weak and boring.
Whoa. I'm SUCH a Mariah-Whitney-Christina-Celine fanatic on their vocal skill and Katherine is NOT average. Her voice is actually incredible. Definitely not the best song choice. Her POWER isn't incredible in general...her pure voice? Immaculate
She sounded beautiful as usual, but it was a little forced in my opinion and not natural. And no I'm not hating, there's just always room for improvement no matter who you are! :)
I think the judges got it terribly wrong with her on this song. She is so gorgeous and talented. She should be nominated for one of the most beautiful people. HOPE SHE SKYROCKETS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
@SuperYina21 How can you say that when Jennifer Hudson won an "Oscar" at the Academy Awards which is the highest honor in show business entertainment... Carrie Underwood has won the highest honors at all Country Music Awards...and has the record sales to prove it above anyone on Idol... Fantasia is successful on Broadway and nominated for a Grammy...
Katharine McPhee is so underrated!
She’s does have a pretty flawless voice.
Ewwwww
It was so funny to me when Andrea told David he has to say “she is also nice, beautiful, and young.” I was thinking David was like “yeah I know... that’s why I’m gonna ask her out” haha
This is a full circle moment for Kat! Her future husband is in the room and later in life she sings sings one of the most iconic songs with Andrea. Wow!
And what ever happened to taylor hicks lol
The correct winner of this season. Where the fuck is Taylor Hicks? Nowhere. And this bitch had a career. Love
Dylan Darkness I 100% agree with you... She so got robbed of that win!!
Love Katharine

Aww
If that’s not proof this performance was awesome nothing would be
She is so amazing, beautiful face, and a best voice, so so warm
What a staggering talent. I am still trying to figure out why the judges that night criticized her, then, the next night, came back and apologized. Rumor has it that David Foster, who wrote the song, thought she was terrific with it.
incredible performance!
she is so good what a voice
Who's here after their IG live today?
🙋🏻♀️😂
Hi. Me. Yes. That’s me. 🙋♂️
Joseph Alan Smith you look so happy in your photo 😊
Yes, and I disagree with her on IG. She sounded fantastic!
Correct
Last night a saw Her at Budapest. She was AMAZING, AMAZIMG !!!!!!! No more words!
she's got the voice and look. All she needs now is a great song
Katharine did a beautiful young lady who sings like an angel. I have no ideas why the judges didn't like her version of Whitney Houston's sing. Perhaps because they didn't know it was David Foster who had actually suggested the changes!
Kathrine McPhee and David Foster make a beautiful couple. Wishing them all the very best, and the best of love and joy with your baby.
Oh my God...And now they are married and about to have a baby 😱 life can be pretty crazy sometimes 😉💕
I really like Katharine, big fan, but Leona Lewis did this for the X-Factor, blows this performance out of the water. Hopefully she will make a comeback because her voice was a true gift. You should all check it out.
i learned a lot from this videoo :)
My problem with Kat on these big songs was that when she started "belting" her voice would do this weird warbly thing. She had a great voice, just not a belter's voice.
I agree. I didn't like her on American Idol but she's improved a lot now.
you all should check out Maria Haukaas Storeng from the norwegian Idol, she also sing this song and does it extreamly good!
It's so funny watching the way David Foster looks at her in this video now.
I love this girl!!!.....just amazing!!!
She deserves fame. But that doesn't matter. Eventhough she's not that known, she is still better at singing than most know artists.
What a song!!!@@@
i hate when people compare them with the original singers. cause they arent them. they have their own voices.
Chills. She always gives me Chills.
one hellof a singer very very nice.. well done katherine..
No, I don't think it was out of her league, I think she did an spectacular performance and also gave me goosebumps. I think Simon, Paula and company were extremely cruel to misprize and scorn Miss McPhee. Sad but a true reviewer always present the positive and respect the audience who at the end has the last call.
wow this is one good performance plus u cannot compare her to whitney. shes already a legend. but this girl nailed her performance. good job
This was amazing!
GREATH SONG THANK YOU KATHERINE MC PEE
my endlesssly KAREN S2 , always mcpheever !!!
I llike this woman.
LIKE THISSSSSS
She did good
I can't believe she lost American Idol to what's-his-name. She is infinity more talented. IMHO she deserves to be as well-known as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.
They were trying to bring her down an octave because she's a screecher when she sings too high. I never liked that about her.
+shadowheart52 Hahaha. an octave? you obviously have no idea what an octave is. she would be singing the beginning of the song like the "crash test dummies" singer if you dropped the song octave.
I remember not liking this performance because it seemed that the song was bigger than her.

She is beautiful.
SHOULD HAVE WON!!!
who won?
Donte821 Taylor Hicks.
She lost because there was a popular website that intentionally screwed up voting to make sure the most untalented person won.
They had a phrase "WGWG" or "White guy with guitar".
@makeupforever8
I completely agree. Katharine doesn't even come up to Whitney's ankle in terms of talent.
MARAVILHOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got goose bumps just listening
which song does she sing with bocelli as duet? (01:02)
@POPJack1717 Yea, kinda like how Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Pink, just can't get that raw power behind their voices... Oh wait-- That's right. They CAN.
@neovidio this is not a bad comment! haha, I can see why you'd say that, I think Charice's voice a very uncommon strenght, but I like Katherine's voice better (color), I would pick hers over Charice's But even her has recognized Kat's talent, she made a cover of kat's over the rainbow version, I wanna think it's cause she liked it.
Shes so young and pretty talented girl and a fan since idol days, just cant believe she married an old guy but who am i to judge if they truly are in love. Good luck ti your new family.
He's a very rich guy!
of course
i'm not being crazy? SMASH IS MY FAVOURITE SHOW!
This is called connecting to a song, what this season's girls could learn
what happened to her i never watched this season?she is good.
sickoooo
I remember her dress splitting at 3:03 was the talk of that week over her performance lol
YOU GO GIRL!
I've just listened to a podcast where she's said about herself that she was "screeching" in this song and her performance was not so good. Geez, I wish I could sing this "bad".
TOTALLY AWESOME. :D
I had forgotten this is the firs time she dueted with Andrea.
The joined voicees at the end is what did it
she is a sweet flower with hot voice.....
wow at 3:03 it all begins when her dress...well take a look and see..pause it a 3:07
Oh, I've just noticed that the this video is from 2006! She was much younger... that's why she looks different... even more beautiful!
I didn't realise who she was until I watched the house bunny... she is fantastic.
Wow.. impressive...
Does Taylor make any appearances ANYWHERE!? Katherine got the bigger career...for sure!!
@lovelyclover111 it's called growling.
Wow now she’s married to David Foster
she should have won the competition!!!!!
The judges were coming after her this week.
elliot and chris should have won, there are my top 2, katherine, my top 3
idc what people say she won that season hahaha!
I still laughed at Simon bashing this performance on performance night then praising it on the results show minutes before it was revealed that she was in the top 2 of the night personally I think Elliott should've been in the top 2 with Chris that night.
They're engaged now! 2018, you crazy.
"I think Katharine has a great, great future" lol
😂😂
They are married.
They are married with a baby now.
which song does she sing with bocelli as duet? (01:02)
As soon as I saw her acting on Scorpion I started looking up her Idol days. She's so phenomenal!! Actress, singer - the double threat!
A natural
ImSoCheesy100 I had no idea she was a singer until I told my mom that she was on Scorpion and she's like no she's a singer from American Idol and I said next week when Scorpion comes on, sit your butt down and pay attention to it and you'll know
+ImSoCheesy100 It was the same for me, I saw her on Scorpion and then I found that she is a fantastic singer!
+ImSoCheesy100 She also you used to be on a show called smash that ended a few years ago. It was about her being a star on broadway and playing Marilyn Monroe. You should look it up if you like musicals and stuff like that :) its a great show.
+ImSoCheesy100 and she can dance, so she;s really a triple threat xD
Now, she's engaged to David Foster! Wow.
Are you F kidding me?
They are married. They got married in June 2019.
Hey, that 70 year old man still looks good.
@@ronylira8219 and now she is pregnant from Davis Foster.Sorry form my bad english.
@SămůeŁøs ŞîKØ she was famous until he married him. Scorpions, Smash, American Idol...
she made the song hers. she can't sing like Whitney, no one can, so she sang it her way. the beginning sounded a little off though, like her voiced cracked. but she did the best she could with a very difficult song
William Skelton CORRECTION there is a woman who can like Whitney sounds exact her name is Glennis Grace
Jennifer Hudson: Hold my beer
With all my musical respects to Jennifer Hudson and Katherine McPhee - there's only one Whitney. The vocal elegance, strength, sweetness, purity, and command in Whitney's voice during her peak years, is truly like no other.
@@elisabetromero6896 Agreed. There has been no one like her before or since.
@@elisabetromero6896 Yes, agree. I still get emotional listening to Whitney's songs, and I don't get sappy easily. Only one Whitney Houston.
Awww. Their first date!
😂right
I remember being a fan from her first Idol audition. Couldn't believe she didn't WIN. But the proof is in the career since then. Love Katherine! My forever favorite is still her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
David was low key in love with her. The way he was looking at her when she wasn't looking. I know that look lol. And now they married. They got married June 2019.
She really does have a terrific voice. And Andrea Bocelli has one of the greatest voices in human history.
Wow this was 3 wives ago. 👍🏼 Nice
Omg 🤣
Oh dear
She should've won her season but regardless she's had an incredible career
Plus, she is married to the man who wrote this song now!!! They just had a baby!? Crazy!!!
Can't believe that 60 year old man won it that year!
Wrong song choice. Her voice is actually very average (I really don't get why she is so overrated here on TH-cam?), and this song is too big for her. When Whitney sang on stage, she blew off everyone's mind with the power, charisma, dynamics in her voice and her style, whereas Katharine sounds too weak and boring.
+Dang Vy I agree to some extent. I think her voice is definitely above average; she's got some power there, just not enough to carry such a huge song.
You guys are ridiculous. She blows "Shitney" away here. It's not even close, how much better Katharine was here...
Whoa. I'm SUCH a Mariah-Whitney-Christina-Celine fanatic on their vocal skill and Katherine is NOT average. Her voice is actually incredible. Definitely not the best song choice. Her POWER isn't incredible in general...her pure voice? Immaculate
Dang he groomed her lmao
"I think Katharine has a great, great future." Yeah in SMASH!
Lol "How do you know all this?!"
Who’s Here after watching Country Comfort
She sounded beautiful as usual, but it was a little forced in my opinion and not natural. And no I'm not hating, there's just always room for improvement no matter who you are! :)
So weird old men talking about a girl like " she's kind beautiful and young.." 😱😱😱 sounds like a scary movies😱😱😱
Girl??? She was a young WOMAN here
Weird? He was being nice, not pervy.
I'd vote for her on the balls alone for picking a Whitney Houston song.
One of my fav performance from her! :D Can't believe it's been 7 years... I'm feeling a bit nostalgic watching this..
I think the judges got it terribly wrong with her on this song. She is so gorgeous and talented. She should be nominated for one of the most beautiful people. HOPE SHE SKYROCKETS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
I remember disagreeing with the judges too. And she deserved to win. I'm glad this wasn't the end for her.
i think she ruined the song.
her voice isnt strong enough
NO WAY!! She does not have the pipes to pull off a Whitney classic. Nice try but this is a hot mess!
This is so creepy knowing now that they’re married
Andrea Bocelli the best singer ever, I love him and his music, and he is so humble, I love when they start singing together.
she is awesome but i dont think a person should smile so much when they sing this song.
Oh yes, she can.....she was teached by her mum..............hihihi
She did everything right, range, emotions, and total performance was superb!
Wanna see someone, other than Whitney, of course, rock this song? Look up Ailee's version. It's incredible.
I love how she reach those high notes without exerting efforts.. Its so cool :)
@SuperYina21
How can you say that when Jennifer Hudson won an "Oscar" at the Academy Awards which is the highest honor in show business entertainment...
Carrie Underwood has won the highest honors at all Country Music Awards...and has the record sales to prove it above anyone on Idol...
Fantasia is successful on Broadway and nominated for a Grammy...
