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..
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!
@@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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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. th-cam.com/video/qRe6YUW6TY8/w-d-xo.html
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.
+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.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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 !
@sboudreaux27 not for long David Cook Carrie Underwood Kelly Clarkson as judges that's what they need former winners if not this show is going down the tubes fast my favorite was Olivia Rox she's got a new song call It Girl listen to it
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? 🤦♀️
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.
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.
Watching this now...the judges are WAY off! She is great with Andre and she has surprised me on "Smash," what a great actress! I think Idol missed out on signing her and good for her for creating the path she has. :)
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. 💃👛
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.

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!!!
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!
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!!!
Her and her fathers connection was one of the most emotional things to watch on Idol, ugh tears every time!
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🤣
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!!

@Cin Dy
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.
It's amazing they are critical with one of the best singers in decades. She is a star in 2018.
absolutely a stunning performance
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.
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.
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!
At least David Foster knew true takent when he saw it 😉😍!!!
C'me on, she did it amazing!!!!
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?!!!!
She is so beautiful!
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
She's AMAZING!!! Katharine, your great, don't let them tell you differently!!!
the judges were wrong- plain and simple. She is magnificent.
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 :-)
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.
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
Awesome awsome version of this song. Katharine has gone on to becoming great singer!
She did phenomenal, judges are crazy
@alisha woods You didn't notice the numerous pitchy spots and lack of emotion?
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.
I love her hidden confidence! She's such a great performer.
She's married to David Foster now. I think she got over it and won in many other ways.
She doesn't need to be Whitney to take out this song brilliant ! For me, this was very beautiful and powerful performance....
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.
She did very well.Deserved to win it all.
I get the chills every time I hear her sing this sing!!!!
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?
Amazing! The judges were on crack... And what's the name of that guy who won that season again? I already forget lol
crack cocane for sure. whacked judges
Wow....she has a beautiful voice... There will never be another Houston but, this is American Idol.. judge her amongst her peers.
absolutely stunning
I think she is singing even better these days! She will be a superstar. Have so loved her on Smash!
Para mim essa mocinha foi uma doce agradável surpresa! Melhor que muitas que estão por aí. Sua meiguice é singeleza encantaram os brasileiros.
She's absolutely beautiful in every way. Katherine won in Life.
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.
Simon took the words right out of my mouth!
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.
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.
@@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. th-cam.com/video/qRe6YUW6TY8/w-d-xo.html
TheMindfulOne she’s a good singer but it was an awful song choice ..Whitney Houston is an awful person to cover because Whitney is just too good
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.
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
+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.
A trio totally lame. @@carter4871
Taylor who?????? Yeah, that's my point.
Sexism. That's why. No one knows who he is now.
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.
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...
Katharine has determination and fortitude, also very polite and positive!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
love the song well done on this song
I loved Taylor, but Katharine was a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better talent xx
You are tone deaf if you loved Taylor.he simply sucked!!!
I thought she handled the feedback with great maturity, and was a good sport about it.
Wow I just adore this woman...she is so amazing....the judges are smuches...
My gosh! They ripped her to shreds. 😲😲 She sounded very good to me and she looked very pretty too. ❤❤❤
She has great stage presence as well as a good singer
Kat ROCKS!
The yellow dress is stunning!
She should have won.
She won all of my america....
Michele ABSOLUTELY!!! That was perfect!

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.

Yes, she's definitely gorgeous!

Best singer EVER on American Idol.
Sometimes judges comments are ridiculous,I love her.
Great job goddess
she makes it her own, thats the point of the show, its not comparing them to already famous singers, they are creating their identity
The judges were brutal!
So amazing
She killed it
This was a Perfectly Beautiful Performance! The judges were harsh, and did Simon really need to stick the knife in? Brutal Man.
Kat is Absolutely ADORABLE ! and one of the GREATEST Talents of our time ! Paula was helpful ,it's wise advise !

That was terrific!!!
The best thing I love about her is how her father looks so proud
She killed this song.
kennapop3 Good kill, though. Ass judges. I'm sure the public proved them wrong!
Still blows me away!
WOW Look at her now. I bet those judges ate their words knowing she became an entertainer and still touring!
Watching these videos make me laugh how sooooooooooooo wrong the judges were about her. I so glad this hack show is off the air.
She won our america....................
