i know the belted ending is not how the song goes and this is the first time i actually heard someone do it. i think its amazing and i feel like it gives more power to "i'm missing who i used to be". it feels like belting it shes saying how much she mourns what she used to be, wants it back and screams for it.
Somebody else is obsessed with the part: "... and re-write an ending or two"? It is just magnificent to hear this song interpreted in a such beautiful way.
She sounds so good! I love Katharine McPhee in hitlist, bombsehell, and her solo pop albums. But this is her best performance. She sounds amazing in Waitress
The first time I saw her do this in London was one of the best theatrical moment I've ever experienced. And weirdly cuz I loved Smash, I almost felt proud to see Karen Cartwright sing like this lol.
It's funny because her season of American Idol the final 2 were Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks, both of whom worked broadway and Simon used Broadway as an insult against them lol Jokes on him
@@crikeyyitsmikeyy , Mr. Cowell has quite the track record for slamming performers that go on to be greats. He once told a dancing violinist that she wasn't good enough at dancing or music to be acceptable at either one. Her name was Lindsey Stirling.
@@RichardA.-yi5sz I'm a professional violinist, and I hear so many people slam her for not being classically trained/having attended a top music school. And it blows my mind because... she's incredible? She isn't trying to be a concert violinist, she's an entertainer and performer and so much fun live. Long story short, people will always have something to say about people they are envious of.
I love this scene but I don't love the clapping. I know it's powerful but i can't imagine anyone clapping at the end of It's Quiet Uptown or something serious.
Well, I've watched her live in West End and people clapped at the end of it. That didn't mean they weren't crying. I've also watched Moulin Rouge and the audience clapped at the end of the reprise of Come What May. I think that the recognition of how outstanding the performance was doesn't distract the actor, but I understand it affects YOUR experience.
Respect your opinion, but they do in fact clap after It’s Quiet Uptown (before rolling into Election of 1800). And there’s applause after So Big / So Small in Dear Evan Hansen, which is just a beautiful sob fest.
1,000,000 times YES!!! I’ve listened to the live version of Sara and Brandi sing “She used to be mine” a hundred times! I am so psyched to see Brandi in concert this coming August. I know it’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster. 🎢 🥹
Controversial opinion: I prefer when Jenna doesn't belt the end. The song has already hit its climax, and it just feels out of place. I can forgive this though as a final performance, and Katherine's performance in the rest of the song was fantastic.
Do you have an example of someone performing it another way that’s better? , the end of this piece is the climax and thus the character belting or fully succumbing to the emotion of the moment feels earned
I mean, on the obc recording it ends in a soft, almost whispered sigh. It's sort of resigned and breathy, but it works to both flow into the next song and end in a softer place. Like I said before, the climax is already past and she kind of breaks down at the end.
It’s not controversial, it’s the way the song was intended to end. Then they put singers in the role and…well, you can tell the insecurity of maybe having a vulnerable moment on stage as a singer versus having a vulnerable moment on stage as an actor, which is why they seem to belt the end
@@SnowCoveredKK The intention is chosen by the singer and director. Different actors in the role will take it in different directions based on how they view the character they portray would. Some belt, some don't. They make personal changes in every song before production.
What I would do to be able to turn back time and see Katherine McPhee play Jenna! I saw waitress for my 17 th birthday with my mom and granny and I couldn’t bring myself to see The show again with out my granny because she had recently passed.
She worked with with vocal coach Nathalie Weiss. And also had a mother as a vocal teacher. I feel she really reached the next level with Nathalie. Better placement on the top notes.
Jesse Mueller is much more powerful in this role and in performing this song. Katherine is "singing" not "feeling" the moment. She's "performing." Just not feeling it from her here (her vocals are great, though).
Sorry, but Jesse looks like she's having seizures during this song and it totally distracts from the song. This song is about a woman reflecting on her past and longing for what she thought she would become. I can't imagine if someone truly was experiencing the emotions of this moment, that they would at the way Jesse did. Katherine's performance, IMO, is much more realistic and gives a sense of a woman finding strength in herself. It's all about interpretation, of course.
@@senorgato70 To each his/her own. For me, Jesse "feels" the song, Katherine "performs " it. I chalk it up to Jesse being an actress and Katherine being a singer. There's a rawness to Jesse's performance; Katherine's a bit more polished. It's good to see different performers interpret the role. Though for me, it's just a gorgeous, emotionally resonant song.
@@deh2775 Let's clarify. Jesse is a stage actress. Katharine is a movie/TV actress. No disrespect to Jesse, but there is a big difference in interpretation and that's okay. Watch Sara Bareille's own interpretation and you will see her original intent with the song.
1 minute in and I've actually quite surprised by Katherine's really good acting... but the guy... why is it being so emotive. Not his fault, but not right for the moment. We doesn't need to care about Earl... it cuts away from what's about to come.
It's a shame though, Katherine couldn't really stay connected to the character. The music kept pulling her away when it should've been grounding her in.
Every rendition katherine mcphee does of this song just sounds so effortless and meant for her voice it brings me to tears
Meh
@@dianeraucher7100 wdym meh lmfao listen to her sing what baking can do then come back to me
i know the belted ending is not how the song goes and this is the first time i actually heard someone do it. i think its amazing and i feel like it gives more power to "i'm missing who i used to be". it feels like belting it shes saying how much she mourns what she used to be, wants it back and screams for it.
Jordan Sparks' version was great!

This is definitely my favorite rendition of this song, Katherine gives her soul in every note.
I always get chills when she sings this
Alison Is better
jordin sparks puts more emotion into it, she was the GOAT
Jordin Sparks❤❤❤
She sings this the best. It's got too much of my past living in this song.
She's incredible!. Daaaamn! She SLAYED that song!.
The first time I saw her do this in London was one of the best theatrical moment I've ever experienced. And weirdly cuz I loved Smash, I almost felt proud to see Karen Cartwright sing like this lol.
this song will always hit so close
One of the greats of our time. I wish she got the credit she deserves.
It's funny because her season of American Idol the final 2 were Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks, both of whom worked broadway and Simon used Broadway as an insult against them lol Jokes on him

I absolutely love her voice. I would love to see in concert or at a play.
Such a beautiful performance. All that feeling was spot on. 😊
Favorite version. Her acting is on point too.
I remember seeing her opening night on Broadway! Chills . It’s amazing seeing actor so connected
so proud to say this is our lyrical dance this season
she ate this up ❤
Holy shit!!!!!!!!! This lady is truly something special. Nailed it.
Omg!!! 😭😭😭 sooo amazing! Wish I could go see this!!!! Absolutely beautiful!
her acting is amazing. the crying on cue.
Daaaamn! She SLAYED that song!
She's incredible!
I love this scene but I don't love the clapping. I know it's powerful but i can't imagine anyone clapping at the end of It's Quiet Uptown or something serious.
I get what your saying but she went for the opt up at the end cause it was closing day so it wasn’t expected x
@@Isladepee25 thank you for the background. I would hope they didn't do that for every show but I haven't seen it live for reference.

You’re clapping for the performers

The phrasing is unbelievable. Gorgeous.
What to see something exceptional, watch Sara Bareilles do this as a duet with Brandi Carlile. It is stunning.
1,000,000 times YES!!! I’ve listened to the live version of Sara and Brandi sing “She used to be mine” a hundred times! I am so psyched to see Brandi in concert this coming August. I know it’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster. 🎢 🥹
Thank you so much for reposting this.
Best vocal rendition.
I’m stealing that riff I love that riff way more than the original
What an incredible performance … yup I cried again 😢

Jeremy Jordan sings this song so beautifully too❤
Jeremy Jordan could sing the phone book and I'd listen on repeat for eternity.
What I would do to be able to turn back time and see Katherine McPhee play Jenna! I saw waitress for my 17 th birthday with my mom and granny and I couldn’t bring myself to see
The show again with out my granny because she had recently passed.
When I saw Kat ,it was Quiet till the end on this scene..she did a great job on the show.
The emotion in her eyes. 😢
What I would do to have the vocal control and strength she has…
She worked with with vocal coach Nathalie Weiss. And also had a mother as a vocal teacher. I feel she really reached the next level with Nathalie. Better placement on the top notes.
where can I watch the entire musical?
Shoshana Bean & Katharine McPhee are my favorites!
coming from someone who has only ever known her in scorpion- this is just- wow
Does somebody know where I can find a slime tutorial of Katherine mcphee?
same!
Damn. That was amazing.
Shame that berk stood up at the end and blocked the view!!! There’s one in every audience.
I love Kat!! ❤️
So incredibly powerful
Beautiful
Amazing work ❤😮
Gorgeous
great song, great rendition but I can't get over the wig coming off her head.
i should not be able to see her lace front lifted like that lol
literally it was all I was looking at
All wigs are like that in theatre for the mics. You cant tell live
I had the same thought, but I think we only notice it because it's a close up shot.
omggggg perfect
her lace….
😢she is broken. She is gone.but she's mine.tougken up man who can't love. Lonely 😢
Is this Katherine from American idol?
And SMASH
That was so amazing!! ❤❤
God She's beautiful
❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢
Who cut that wig on the couch😂😂😂

Powerful.
She was my first Jenna!
Unreal
KATHERINE I-
I'm gonna f@cking cry
Talk about powerful.
I just can't believe that a woman with that much filler is supposed to be a poor waitress who can't afford to leave her abuse husband...
2:24
5:45
I love her, but for me lucie jones is jenna
the wig line is bothering me but great performance
Fkn seppos doesnt matter what genre of music or comedy, the fkn wreck it by applauding way to early, when the applause should left to the very end.

Katherine is someone who still looks so lovely even when her mouth is fully open👏🏼🫶🏼
He loves you and died for our sins please come to Jesus Christ He will fix everything.❤
Jordin Sparks’ version is better
I love herrr but her acting is noy good enough...
Agreed. Not sure what people are going on about? She’s so wooden: “The. Truth is. Earl.
She’s beautiful and talented without all those fillers/botox… the non moving forehead really takes me out of the story and the character. 😢
She’s only 38. Yeah too much Botox etc
the camera work🤢
Are you joking? For a bootleg copy it’s really good haha
Are you new here?
This is one of the best filmed slime tutorial clips I’ve ever seen what
No...
?
Jessie Mueller is better.
Cool story bro
For you of course
Does it look like a competition?
Dude that’s your OPINION .DON’T state it like it’s a fact. Thank you for your time.
At least Kat doesn’t over dramatically jerk her body violently to the music tho☺️
This is so cringey lmao
Your comment? Yes. Agreed😃
@@Mark_R_Tho oooooooooh. you told me! 😆
