Since I fell for you

[BandBoy1410]

Best of that season.

[AmericanIdolz2011]

A beautiful vocal and performance from a beautiful woman. Just magnificant.

[harvey1954]

There is a clip of Ella singing it on You Tube somewhere from the 40s.

[bobo7813]

This shows that 1: kids don't know too much i.e., "this song was originally sung by Barbara Strreisand".. uh, uh. Lenny Welch sang it originally.

2: Kids today want to screw-up songs by doing the AA style.

[MrBRL]

@bobo7813 Lenny Welch was actually the 10th person to sing this,and the 9th to record it.The writers sister Ella Johnson made it popular,but i don't think she ever recorded it.

[van121988]

T'was the 1st time that I had the McPever!

[miscelaineousvideos]

Going with what Randy said, Katharine was my favorite from day one, too... Still would've liked to see her win, but hey, at least she's doing better than Taylor! I still listen to her newer stuff (her second album was a vast improvement from the first, in my opinion) and I'm excited for her Christmas album! :)

[1cowboyable]

definately should have won that season!!

[jba2323]

brings tears to my eyes

[liz8976]

when was this?

[todricryhope]

Talk about being robbed. Katharine is amazing.

[Cubanblondie]

she has such an incredible voice, absolutely perfect

[DoubleDBlogXX]

i mean obviously she should of won but now it doesnt matter! she has done way more than that guy.... uh whats his name? lol

[Mattcctt]

She has a nice big ass , I love it . She looks better with a booty, I not a big fan of the blond Short hair, She look good tho

[CristinaBellex]

I love how giddy she is. lol

[magentazZz]

Why is she so beautiful? haha

[davidkiller15]

2:01 Her expression is so nice in this part! ^^

[ekpete01]

2:48

The very moment that I fell in love with her.

[SooRandom01]

me too ! :P

[simoens5]

@ekpete01 ME TOO!!

[xAnomalyx]

she should've won that season.

[mikesterSTLMO]

@xAnomalyx Like Adam Lambert (also 2nd place), she basically did (win).

[mattcaps]

my favorite part is when she talks about her butt being so big... she shouldn't have lost so much weight, i like the booty.

[marinasvoice]

she didn't mean to, before she went to Hollywood Week she entered an Eating Disorder Clinic. She did something called intuitive eating, they didn't want her to lose weight, it was completely unintentional..

[BlueEyesDance]

Yes, I liked it too and then we heard she had bulemia and eating disorders at one time. She must have had a poor body self-image but she looked good to me. This is my favorite all-time song of hers.

[JayMe2823]

whats up with her moves? they are really awkward. Her voice is amazing though:)

[jespeach]

I didn't realize until I was just watching this that she really looks a lot like Ally McBeal sometimes. The expressions and attitude. It's uncanny.

[JayMe2823]

ew. lol no she doesnt

[kathejo]

I think Eartha Kit sang this first in 1950... but the best performance of it I've heard was definitely Bonnie Raitt.

This chick butchered it.

[amgarcia8486]

buddy johnson- his sister ella sang and recorded it in 1945. lenny welch made it popular as an oldies hit

[gangstajoy]

Most dont realize but that songs is difficult to sing and she sang it well. I noticed that katherine is naturally soulful when it comes to her singing. i enjoyed it.

[kirsty1617]

Paula looks Like a warewolf :$ lool

[itsstaacciiyo]

hahahahahha

she kinda does :)

[stephanieb36]

Best season of Idol yet.

[Venue0309]

what the hell is up with the dog pound?

[miscelaineousvideos]

@Venue0309 I forgot they even had a dog pound, haha. I miss seeing just the original three judges (and I'm going to miss Kara DioGuardi). This season is going to SUCK (not that I've been following AI much since Katharine lost :/ ).

[zeppaby]

Paula's a no-brainer

[MrMoto]

It's truly remarkable that a singer can expand a simple word like "love" into twenty syllables.

And who knew? Apparently Barbra Streisand made this song famous at the age of 3, because it was written in 1945.

[dwtslvr]

She needs to do her history. Lenny Welch sang this long before Barbara Streisand recorded.

[codepinks28]

it's so easy for her to be great

[maxime9232]

She's great, as always

[piratesobkkjd]

I love this performance so much. I think it was so funny when Katharine is so composed when the judges give her constructive critisism, and when Ryan asks her how it feels, she just like, freaks out! and then she's like

"Sorry you have to stare at my butt all the time." I was ROtFL

[roadrunner95]

pAULA LOOKS LIEK AN ALIEN HERE

[Jorge1193]

She actually does.... XD

[PRNeneChulo]

She was on point with this song,go on girl.

[luvpolitics]

didnt she though?! just showed out, loved every minuet, you know i had to get up out my seat..it just poured out of her..effortless soul and beauty

[steamyhotlatin]

I don't watch Idol, I'm a singer so watching can be painful when there bad, but she's good

a strong voice and could go far with a little

more seasoning. Time improves a fine wine and

a fine singer. Nice job katharine, clevelands

own.....Tena

[bluemonolith88]

A little more seasoning? What is she a Poterhouse steak that needs more seasoning and spices? I get what your are saying, though. Read somewhere David Foster is going to be producting her next ablum. :)

[vanitytragic]

paula abdul seems high buzzed up...just saying.

[nooriskandar]

these contests aint about having the best rendition of the song. these contestants are merely covering those songs cause they dont have a song. so its just them trying their best to deliver it, why the comparison

[iiitalo18]

She's brilliant and absolutely beautiful

[qg6ff]

yea, she was cool

not all boring ... an example of a boring contestant is amy krebs (no offense)...but i don't remember her talking or anything she was just unnoticed.

[MissKorea00]

she's wierd.... she went all crazy here, like giggling when you're not supposed to.

[qg6ff]

I really loved everything about this. The singing was great and everything she said was so funny and how she said the things...gotta love her. I kinda wanna know what Ryan was doing right at the last second befor it cut off cuz i don't remember haha from last year.

[qg6ff]

Best idol ever.

[lvpinoyboy]

She is so adorable!!! I love you KAT!! Promise me you'll stay grounded forever!! Don't let the glitz and glamor grab a hold of you!!! Stay real forever!!

[addreandduh]

Well, Katharine has already signed up to star in a movie. Even though, her role won't include singing...

[unapetuna]

why does she keep smiling throughout a very sad song...listen to my version on my music myspace Una Pedreschi

[sprtrmp88keys]

at 4:51 some guy yells WHOA and it makes me laugh.

[YesTheyAre]

Yeah, this performance owns all. <3

[Oracle411]

lol, she was so ditzy here, teehee.... ;) but yes, a very good singer, strong technical background, and i wish her a great career...its just that..........well, i heard her first single, and i didn't like it. *sigh*

[nothlithawk777]

Her first single was nothing like the rest of her album, not representative of her musical style at all.

[kidtaouk]

i love this girl, shes my favorite celebrity! shes down to earth and fun. i hope she does movies after her album!

[snidelywhiplash]

Sometimes the musical a-historical nature of Idol contestants floors me. This song was not ORIGINALLY done by Barbra Streisand, though she did a great version. It's a song from the 1960s, originally sung by Lenny Welch.

For what I think is the BEST version of this song, see Al Jarreau's cut of this w/ David Sanborn & Bob James. Takes on all comers and hammers 'em.

(Another Idol clueless moment was when Chris Daughtry said he didn't know "Higher Ground" was written by Stevie Wonder.")

[MalibuRoad]

see Natalie Cole and Reba McEntire's version to see how this song is suppose to sound like.

[blueboystl]

I love mcphee!

MARRY ME!!

[iloveemus112]

she owns. love her.

[mary0114]

She stinks and goes off key all of the time. Streisand is a legend. Download and compare the difference.

[jdawgpirate]

OMG That is the funniest thing ever... haha

[xnina7x]

shes cute...its too bad shes dating a 40 something year old that could be her dad =O

[mactopolis]

Cute Nice Voice...But Just Another Copy-Kat

[rose218]

a copycat? the streisand version is so different from kat's take here.

[neodude888]

Shes soo cute!

[BreathofFreshInk]

Love Katharine. :)

[auseejjjo]

Outstanding!

[galadriel6969]

WTF is up with Paula's hair???? I tink der's a RAT in there. or shum Beeeez. SKAREEEEE.

[jaymejean28]

hahaha that is hilarious

[TheLadyOfShalott]

haha "sorry you had to stare at my butt the whole time" that was cute.

[blue0151]

luv when she acts all funny like trying to kiss ryan i mean common how coulde he refuse

[Loveukatharine]

Oh God !! She's Great ..

Crazy About You Kat !!
