first of all, just beautiful! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL katharine mcphee is one of the most beautiful female singers i have ever seen on american idol, or in anything! she's just phenomenal! i listened to her sing this song and it made me wanna cry and i'm a guy!(dont put any stupid replies that have NOTHING to do with anything else in the comment except for that last sentence.)
i think its safe to say that when there is a guy and a girl who are American idol finalists, the guy will win. this is obvious becuase most of the people voting are preteen and teenage girls who like the guy.
she is one of five people i have ever heard who can do this song justice no one can do it like Judy Garland though Katharine is BETTTER THAN ANYONE ELSE THOUGH!!!
She lost too, LMAO this show sucks really, no one with the actual brilliant voices win, I say this because Katherine was hands down the greatest female vocalist on this how & David Archuleta the best male & both are runners up, oh well America's deaf why am I not shocked. lol
paula is so jealous of kat. she knew she had to ACT like she loved the performance because it was undeniably AMAZING and simon knew this song was gonna be great for kat...
I've heard her sing plenty of other songs anticipating something great; however, this is clearly chilling. I get goosebumps as well. No question, this is her element.
I get chills as she throws her head back to sing every single time I see this performance. I just wish she hadn't lost more weight because she was gorgeous the way she was on Idol. They should always let Simon pick the songs.
"Your Element and your Magic is when you don't go overboard and you tap into your beautiful natural self, Bravo!" Well said Paula....She has great voice quality...just a little more umfff without going overboard but a little more magnetic and she will nail it!
ok lets face it shes not hte most popular idol ever, my personal fav list doestn even include her in the top 5 but this performance was the single best performance the show has EVER had, in just a single performance, this was miles above the rest MILES
@masterkayaki i agree. everything just fell into place. perfect song, perfect singer, perfect vocals. gotta give her credit too. this song is a big song and could really define her moment and she did the task well... fantastic in fact. this really is one of the best and memorable performance in idol history. the timing was just so perfect for her. and there was something so sensual when she leaned her head back to hit the high note... it was so sexy.
She was suppose to win!!! this performance (thanks Simon) alone shows just how amazing and talented she is!!! She was Talented and Beautiful and she did have that "moment" that Simon was talking about!!!! It was truly a special moment in A I history...she was robbed!!!!
I know this was a million years ago lol ... but Katherine was robbed! Taylor's win was a joke. It still annoys me =/ Especially after watching this again.
@JmB8207 hey lets look at the facts. Katherine Mcphee, star of the new show Smash, which pulled in 29 million in it's first episode. Taylor, is doing something, i just don't know what it is. Plus katherine did this song, and well, that cresendo right at the end was just spectacular.
please all watch my version of this song and subscribe to me... this was amazing!

the problem with her is that she isnt a belter. And when she tries that, it sounds like a mess. But when she calms down,she sounds amazing.
