Smash-Beautiful(clip)-Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee)

[knybee]

I am a serious singer myself and anyone who has heard this young woman sing live is lying if they say that she is being autotuned. Trouble is, with autotuning people don't know anymore what's the real thing and what isn't. Kat is as real as it gets. God bless her and keep her from those who think that they know better.

[bubblyboy3000]

Everybody is so auto tuned these days. That's not even her natural voice

[6Dommie4]

I agree it was seeing DEV that made her put her whole heart into singing this song perfectly. I just hope they don't ruin the characters.

[MissSamanthaB101]

@6Dommie4 I agree! They have already started messing all the relationships. Ugh i cant watch another soap opera. but I love the songs and I love Karen! She has an amazing voice...

[BambiAndThumper18]

@yolandabushh shes actually Nanny Mcphee how did you not like her until you watched this

[musicrazygirl]

wow

[IXIJonathanIXI]

where can i get the piano sheet music?

[YolandaBushh]

I didn't like her until I watched this show and realized how talented she is:)

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

CACA...!!!

[gleekforlife97]

Love her voice!

[SpartacusWins]

She's amazing... and beautiful

[CarriedAway1319]

I love how when she's in the zone it shows her really on stage, that's a really cool part of the show. I LOVE Smash!

[RoxasFanify16]

I love her voice!

[FutureMrsRoc1]

who is this song by its so amazing

[dewdrop287]

@FutureMrsRoc1 beautiful by christina aguilara but this version is much better

[FutureMrsRoc1]

@dewdrop287 definitely no offence to christina aguilara

[xXScenexXBxRebekah]

She gave me the shivers and goosebumps, and that's in a good way!

[drakonnanan]

Dang this video posted up May 19, 2011 but the pilot didn't air until February 6, 2012.

[kgreen641]

i can sing a cristina song and rock it some people can sing god like me i can sing good but u r right she needs to sing it the reguler way

[kgreen641]

i love this song but i can sing it better

[xBlameTheNarglesx]

TEAM KAREN OR TEAM IVY?!?

Thumbs up if you wish Karen gets the part :D

[DarrionMcAlister]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE This :D

[8199ajeb]

she is a total package unlike the looser that finished first in American Idol...taylor hicks...did he die, never heard from him again...

[tubekxb]

One correction - Dev is not her husband, just her boyfriend. Although, in the first episode, McPhee's mom was encouraging her to marry him right away.

[hckyplyr143]

love her voice

[DanielReyesRsz]

Believe me, if they had never taken the spectacular Fox series "Glee," never would exist that attempt to TV show and a copy of Glee.

[exorgirl]

she should have learned lyrics first

[NausAllien]

Sorry, Katherine you're a great singer but you are just butchering this amazing song. Nobody can sing a Christina's song. She should try with something less challenging.

[DanielReyesRsz]

@NausAllien Yes, amber riley can (; search it, Amber riley beautiful, and you'll see.

[NausAllien]

@DanielReyesRsz I know her, she's Mercedes from Glee. Her version is better than this one, but still isn't as good as Christina and Amber is black which is a plus for this kind of strong singing.

[ihateuutube]

Eh she's obviously going to cheat on her husband in this show.

[lovesbroadway1]

I absoloutly LOVE the expression and body position between 0:23 - 0:29 . She gives off a slight timid smile towards her husband and hugs her arms as if she were to hug him. Its the kind of look we can all relate to. Its like shes looking at a guy she fancy's without really talking to him before, but they are staring at eachother smiling and he looks away all shy and stuff.. omg she is just a really talented actress. The on set chemistry between katharine and her "man" is really great.:D

[JEMnDC]

A well-deserved and overdue star-making role.

[lovesbroadway1]

Who else cried watching this? I did. I don't know why, I guess its because I understand how her character feels, and I can feel the passion she is showing through her singing. Good job Katharine :) Ugh I can't wait to watch the premiere! 4 more days to go! <3

[kac5318]

Also, while again I loved the show, I also wasn't really trilled with a pop song being used in this show... it should have been another showtune or at least a cross-over song (a broadway song that is also a pop song kind of thing). The original music was AMAZING! Stick to showtunes and the original Marc Shaiman music, NBC! Please don't process everyone into mediocrity... you have amazing TRAINED vocalists!!!! LET US HEAR THEIR ACTUAL VOICES!!!

[kac5318]

Loved the show, but why in god's name did they autotune/computer process her voice... You can hear her sing this live on here elsewhere and it is SO MUCH BETTER! There is no reason for it... she is a very talented, trained singer.

[geniirena]

Oooh. I like the piano.

[sethmx1]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN...I LOVER HER SMILE, HER VOICE, HER EYES, HER HAIR, HER HANDS, HER SONGS...EVERYTHING...I LOVE HER...I LOVE YOU KATHARINE...KISSES FROM MEXICO

[dannyjpacheco]

@kingofallwhites: Ugh. No, the show doesn't look GAY. Gay is a sexual orientation, not an insult.

[hannajoseff001]

Great, beautiful vocals. And this is a definite beautiful song. Smash, name's nice. We have Glee and Smash. Just awesome..

[QueenofDiamonds1391]

i came here just because of Jack Davenport! I LOVE YOU JACK!

[kingofallwhites]

I want to eat her. Whole. But this show looks fucking gay. You couldn't pick a song that doesn't suck balls for the commercial?

[fabuloussyah]

Fabulous

[Mcflyvids]

she is gorgeous

[traveler66n]

Have always likde this song but am not an Xtina fan. This version is just perfect...

[wiggler94]

@SarahAndrawes I second that !

[qiusef]

@SarahAndrawes PREACH sista

[rizzastarz10]

i cant wait to see smash!!!!!!! im sooo excited! go katharine!

[bogdanmarco]

I can't wait for Smash! I'm so glad that Katharine found such a great project to be a part of! I hope that the series is very successful!

[jdmans]

No deserves this more than Katharine - everyone dumps on her for two albums that didn't meet expectations. If this takes off, she will have done better than any idol ever did except Chris Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson

[Idolheaded]

@jdmans You forgot Carrie arguably the most successful of all.

[Renzic18]

I LOVE YOU KATHARINE MCPHEE

[123buffylover]

i think she got the lyrics wrong, isn't it suppose to be "we're that song that's outta tune, full of beautiful mistakes" at 0:47?

[gater108]

I love Kat McPhee and i love this clip, i just wish it were longer, cant wait for Smash!

[jezzleffezzle]

Wow this clip is just mesmerizing. She and her voice jump off the screen.

[Renzic18]

KATHARINE MCPHEE I BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOU ARE MY NUMBER 1 AMERICAN IDOL...LOVE YOU SINCE A.I. SEASON 5

[stevieray1722]

A SMASHing song sung by someone who can actually sing!!

[KMcPheeThailand]

Katharine McPhee is very talented girl!! She deserves more famous than now. I believe Smash will take her far away to A-list star on tv industry with many big prizes!!!

Who knows? Anything can happen. She deserves famous than some pop singers who always use electronic voice, I hate them! Katharine, you're real artist :D I always support you! Kat McPhee = the Quality Artist :)

[Renzic18]

KATHARINE MCPHEE YOU ARE A STAR..

[cutemoboy27]

[manjubaporrinha]

when I heard that NBC would do a musical tv show, I was like 'pfffff, glee wannabe', but this is really NOTHING like glee. I love glee and I think I'm gonna love this, even though is very different'

[charliebergy101239]

I hope this will be Kat Mcphee's stardom vehicle. She was great on Idol. Some of the tunes on her 2 records were great. Loved her performances with Andrea Bocelli and Chris Botti. Hope she enjoys moving to NYC to perform in this show and that the show will be a SMASH HIT!!!! GO KAT. LOVE YA!

[stevieray1722]

WOW!

[funfest24]

I am SSOOO excited for this show!!! WOW

[KMcPheeThailand]

Wowwww I barely do nothing except watching her in SMASH!!!

This gonna be an EPIC for her acting career. Keep going Katharine :D

[zeldagirly22]

is... is that..... christian borle!?!?!

<3 ommmgggg so watching this show

[noshot95]

it's really hard to sing a Christina Aguilera's song, but she did a great job! so sweet!

[stevieray1722]

Love this!

[Iclabon72]

This is just too beautiful. I love how she's relating the meaning of the song to her love for her husband, and how that thought and visualization is giving her performance magic.

I like that her vibrato is sweet and angelic too.

[samuelfoodaddicted12]

@Iclabon72 I agree! But he is her boyfriend not her husband though :/

[mitzi32996]

@Iclabon72 her boyfriend, actually
