American Idol Season 5 - Katharine McPhee audition

[rebel32degrees]

SMASSHHHHHHH. Get the pilot for free on iTunes!

[Kyoko328]

watched the first episode of smash and i think she is going to be AMAZING in that show. Can't wait to see more. :)

[acumen321]

SMASH. OMG SHE HASN'T AGED AT ALL. so gorgeous.

[riji322]

Isn't she gonna be on smash I'm excited for the show to premiere

[ReneeOfficialMusic]

She's amazinggg! I can't believe Taylor Hicks won... he just kind of disappeared, and Katharine is going to be the star of that new show xD. I got goosebumps the entire time she sang :').

[guitarhero9990]

Look at it this way guys, she's star of a new hit show and Taylor Hicks is probably singing at weddings.

[MaryTeresaa98]

okay, so is it just me or does anyone else think she looks like Victoria Justice?

[stephanieLDSgirl]

@MaryTeresaa98 I can actually see that too. I think it's the cheek bones and her eyes a little bit too. Just her facial structure.

[HEADLESSwebcam]

wait a minute, wen did she get kicked off! How did she get kicked off! Who was she competing against!!!!!!!!!

[MrReded69]

@HEADLESSwebcam She never got eliminated.She was second place finisher to Taylor Hicks-the grey haired white soul singer.

[LoganBoiProductionz]

Jennifer Pham, at L'escape Spa in Burlingame, CA takes care of Katharine's skin with the forever young treatment.

[LoganBoiProductionz]

my mother does facials on her, no joke.

[Burtonboard90210]

Just saw her on SMASH! and OMG i forgot how much I LOVED HER!

[jacksonf77]

BEST AMERICAN IDOL AUDITON EVER!!!

[lionelraoul]

I think this was the year that crazy Taylor and the Soul Patrol lunacy won. His career is nowhere. She's about to be the star of Smash. Justice.

[VanilleAlistair]

i always thought katharine, chris and kelly were the standouts of season 5 and they are now the most succesful... best season ever though, even if taylor hicks did ruin the ending..

[88paparazi]

She should totally have won!!!

[Foodlover702]

AMAZiNG VOiCE. i'll never forget her audition!

[dsmilges]

@xoSiNgInGiHeRalnox the best singers are born and yes they are a gift...... No random person can one day say hey I wanna hav a great voice and then go take lessons and become the next Mariah Carrie...it just doesn't happen

[skybri69]

I still get chills.

[joeypackloveskh]

How did taylor win over her

[xoSiNgInGiNtHeRaInox]

dumb comment by randy. there is nothing natural about singing. it's a skill that she had to have practiced and developed her whole life, aided by her voice teacher of a mom. this is like the olympics of singing. i wish people would stop brushing off how much work it takes to be a good singer by saying a good voice is "a gift" or "natural talent"

[templedown]

hands down the best audition that show has ever had. awesome

[babygurl59033]

God bless the child that hears her voice!

[xxKatyCat]

I LOVE U KATTT!!!!

[alle0loves0purple]

AMAZING!!

[armoredtruck1984]

Katharine Mcphee Sucks Ass The NBC T.V. Show Called Smash Will Also Suck Ass LOL End Of Line :).

[napamike]

Who are the 266 people who disliked this?

[syworld82]

I think she, more than anyone on Idol represents what is wrong with Idol.. That people with Real Talent, and REAL sellability LOSE the competition and people with no talent and no likeability WIN because of shamelss LAST minute Promotion...

[petunia0809]

She lost a lot of weight!

[popups46okay]

She's one of the reasons why I stopped watching Idol. People who derserved to win keep losing at the end. The only winner of this competition that I thought really deserved to win was Carrie Underwood.

[lovableme011]

she should've WON!!!!

[MadManCael]

she lost weight, and she looks way hotter. shes in community =D

[jaxichans]

I voted for her 222 times and fucking Taylor wins

[MrTitus93]

@jaxichans Lol. Fuck Taylor.

[spiderlegs1987]

so natural

[the420man72]

i HATED THAT TAYLOR WON i THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ELLIOTT AND CHRIS IN THE FINAL BUT WHO DID AMERICA CHOOSE BUT A NO TALENT ASS WHO CAN PLAY THE HARMONICA LAME

[NortheastAI]

How can anyone dislike this video. This is the best audition video in Idol history. It is also such a feel good video.

[09heatherlyn]

I'm annoyed Taylor Hicks won, I wasn't a fan of him from the start. Team Katharine.

[TheJayit]

Randy: you are a hundred percent what this competition is all about...

Then why the effin' hell did Taylor Hicks win and she didn't? tsk tsk tsk.. clearly not America's wisest of choices...

[123MangoTango123]

CURRENT?!

[TheMusicguy68]

KATHARINE MCPHEE!

WONDERFUL THEN! EVEN BETTER NOW!

Katharine McPhee has a beautiful voice + great physical beauty! I think she is an amazing talent. Hey Guy: Watch Katharine with Chris Botti in Boston, singing Sinatra

classic "I've Got You Under My Skin."

She is AMAZING in that video!!!!

[mellebelle21]

I loved it when she started to cry, it helped me realize that not always are singers going to be money claiming jerks, but that they have hearts too(:

[anjapanya]

I don't know how Katherine Mcphee is not worldwide famous! Definitely as good as Leona Lewis and with more personality! I wish I could sing as well as she does!

Please check out my page: anjapanya. I am just starting out on my singer/songwriter path! Any listeners welcome! Thanks! x

[JRV95]

Awww she's so sweet!

[Emilycobdees]

shes in house bunny!!

[learningrussian]

@charlesmansun I don't mean to be impertinent, but allow me to conjecture that a plethoric amount of us commenting on this video do not sing half as well as Katharine McPhee. And regarding your reference to "unusual or special", well, let's just say that's a subjective evaluation which many of us, I'm sure, would disagree with. Additionally, please do post a video—I'm sure a multitude of us would love to hear you.

[Micben123]

@zeldaxlove64 u could cover it for us then Christina!

[ThePlanetCow]

Amazing. O.O

[dannylko]

@charlesmansun better than britney spears. I prefer Katherine over Britney.

[PaoloNovaro]

Taylor's not bad but...seriously. She should have won.

[thezachman]

@charlesmansun i'm waiting for your video

[MsManar100]

and now she's in hollywood , what a great end

[babygurl59033]

@MsManar100 it's only the beginning for her

[girlygirlari]

they start odf being unknown and end being so sucessful

[Renzic18]

im so excited for her first show called "SMASH"

[jayden2595]

She grew throughout the competition. :) Good for her, she's very good

[0Rosario0]

boosack noodle

[guillex94]

[iluvpinkandavril]

[xsweetcandyx955]

[AshleyKent10]

GOOSEBUMPS!

[Adoredbyothers]

i love how they ask her how old she is in the beginning and she tells them 21 and then paula asks again right after shes done singing. so forgetful lol

[patpatyum]

she lost weight!

[123MangoTango123]

CURRENT?!

[Canoe571]

Where's the gong? Song sucks, really, really sucks.

[charliebergy101239]

Come on all you Kat fans, start following her on twitter so we can get her follower numbers up into the hundreds of thousands. She's @katharinemcphee and she deserves a lot more followers. Then we can all encourage her to tweet us daily about her day to day experiences of shooting the SMASH series. She tweeted yesterday that shooting starts right after Labor Day weekend. LET'S HIT TWITTER WITH SOME MCPHEEVER!!!!

[LucidEyes17]

@charliebergy101239 Your obsession is a little disturbing

[Ayla156156]

That girl is good) LUV

[Rahetor2]

She's the real winner of that season. That's my opinion anyway.

[spectual]

@Rahetor2 It was the entertainer vs the singer that season and the entertainer won the competition, but I don't think she lost either. What I really like about her is that she is so genuine. You can see everything happening inside her just by looking at her face and even that is quite rare.

[cenation12100]

every time i watch it i feel like i'm gonna cry..........fantastic absolutely wonderful

[JusticieroDeLaMuerte]

1:25 Love the way she smiles like if she was completely pure and innocent.

[lNnocEnt1]

cute+++

[geekoftheweek27]

Her best performance on the whole show!

[girlbambi]

mariah carey's twin

[thedisneygirl1234]

KATHERINE SHOULD HAVE WON! Taylor Hicks over this girl? Really America?

[Rahetor2]

@thedisneygirl1234 Who's Taylor Hicks? I really don'r remember any more. :)

[thedisneygirl1234]

@Rahetor2 Haha EXACTLY!

[edewkateddatme]

I must say i wasn't always in awe of the American Idol program,but in this case I'm glad the situation unfolded the way it did. I recently got the opportunity to view on blue ray Christi Botti live in Boston. KM appeared as a guest singing "I've got you under my skin." She was stunningly breathtaking to watch as she elegantly performed on stage. I was happy for her to see her journey come full circle. She is remarkably talented with a gifted voice. Kudos to you KM. you made a believer outta me

[tennisman41892]

Simon doesn't know the difference between "was" and "were." Lol.

[AngelOfAuras]

i love so many of her songs. why isnt she more famous??????/

[kelvinpyaeko]

0:08 *look at the look paula gave to her* jealous bitch

[JenielRodhicaGill199]

beautiful voice:)

[PARAWHORExHERE]

no idea how they remain so calm after this. the KILLLLS it. <3

[themodel999]

did anyone else hear the little *woo* at 1:27??

[briann2ify]

@themodel999 it is haunted O,o haha

[SexyLilLezNTx]

Beautiful both inside and out. Katharine is absolutely AHHHH-mazing. God definitely broke the mold when he created her. She is an Angel on Earth. Simple perfection.

[MegaDanie88]

SHE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT NOW, BUT DAMN SHE CAN SING. SOME PARTS REMIND ME OF WHITNEY HOUSTON. <33

[Latifah332]

she shitted on some many ppl w this... #amazing

[kidd2xclusive]

I still have her & the rest of the top 12 idol autographs from season 5.

[shivermatimbers]

her voice is so pretty.

[thexhorrorloverx33]

love her:)

[makenalynne1013]

loll... "CURRENT?!?!" 

[Rahetor2]

@AnnaKay923 I'll be wathging this in 2051 if I'm alive then. :)

[neverdie987]

@AnnaKay923 no am watching this is 1889

[Elizablue2]

@AnnaKay923 Haha I love that your comment got 2 thumbs down. That means that they MUST have invented time machines! Or maybe they are tired of "Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2011!!"

[danefritz2006]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR SMASH!!!!!

[lolo1666]

she was my favorite that whole season of idol. and this is by far the best female audition in my opinion.

[eddie195777]

if you all haven't heard her sing the song "Under My Skin" with Chris Botti, you should. Kind of a jazzy song and seems to suit her very well. Also, she looks really hot in that video. Hot!

[popups46okay]

Katherine Mcphee and Carrie Underwood, the 2 most beautiful american idol singer I've ever seen.

[Rahetor2]

@popups46okay i agree!

[Salyth1231]

it make cry and its not mee.!

[hollercrombie1995]

honestly....she could of won...but no. she lost to that gray haired guy who didn't even became popular....this is the reason why i think the judges should vote instead of outsiders.

[aLySaSpIvAk1]

HOW DID SHE NOT WIN?????????????

[Rahetor2]

@aLySaSpIvAk1 Well, that's what I wonder too!

[AsLightningCrashes]

"current" *crying* lmao <3 love herrr

[TaylorrAndMariaaShow]

she should have won

[FLunknown1]

The best AI audition ever. After Katharine McPhee on AI and Jackie Evancho on AGT they can close both shows.

[jcool269]

Thumbs up if you think she kinda looks like  Kate Middleton.

[OfficialCRoc]

Literally just got chills. Literally. May be because I'm cold or maybe she's just amazing <3

[Rahetor2]

[Renzic18]

[jongyang88]

Simon actually gave nice comments!

[imcool1234ful1]

house bunny

[archuletamustwin]

she sings through her nose a little too much...but she has a good voice and she's gorgeous!

[ElectrikkPaperClipxx]

shes pretty as fuck, but god her voice is annoying

[icemickiejamesfan]

@ElectrikkPaperClipxx what are you fucking crazy

[jkmy87]

this must be the best audition i've heard on idol

[GreatKM]

She should've won! The Great Katharine McPhee!!! She's always my favorite!

[Dfiguly]

I love Katharine McPhee. Everything about her is beautiful: het voice, her looks, her personality. she just amazing.

[1simaddict1]

I loved her at the beginning, but lost interest like halfway. I don't watch the show anymore. It's gotten boring especially since Paula and Simon are one.
