Katharine was never this good on Idol ! She has really been working with some pro's who know how to get the most out of her. She has become more sophisticated and stylish now and it all adds up to I would say the BEST female singer today in any kind of music ! Katharine McPhee is a whole woman and a "10+" in all catagories. " Simply Stunning "
@royzone12 she sure is and I hope she never goes blond again it makes her look old and hard she is just beautiful with dark hair so please keep it dark
@royzone12 Been working with some pros? She is with David Foster, here...Discoverer, Mentor, Super-Coach....He's like the king in the industry for this, he has discovered, developed, many singers like Jackie Evancho, for instance.
she's okay, I don't really like the country twang she puts in this song.... someone should shoot her voice coach. she def has an interesting sound if she is not pulling the larynx dow . will be interesting to see how she develops....over time.....no one remembers charlotte church.....
She is hands-down one of the most talented people to ever come out of American Idol. She has control, power, perfect pitch, and an incredible sense of expression and dynamics. Of course, it helps that she's singing one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I love this video.
@wizarddarkanel1986 Yes, Regina Velasques kills it! She is much more developed vocally and has a better sense of timing. She is the closest thing to Streisand doing this song if your eyes were closed. McPhee puts her stamp on it, but is no comparison to the pro that Velaquez is when you listen side by side. Just search: Regina Velasquez Somewhere
Fabulous performance. I had chills all over. Especially the ending. Katharine always makes her fans proud. She and Foster are great together. The stage, the fabulous orchestra and McPhee center stage. I loved it! :)
Just saw this video. Wow! I absolutely LOVE Kat McPhee & have followed her career since Idol. Can't wait to see her new show SMASH on NBC. Everything from the cast to the music looks like it's going to be fantastic. I'm so excited to see Katharine back in the spotlight where she belongs. She truly is the whole package & the camera loves her. Obviously David does too! LOL They are a great combination!
She nailed it! I'm glad David Foster believed in her, because what she does in music is so classy and this is where she belongs. Classy and selected. You don't see this every day and everywhere.
Super post ! As a musician I have to say , American Idol is a joke . She is unreal with this song . She has a killer voice and to do a song as hard as that one . The ending of this She just nails it to perfection and then some . And leave it to David Foster ... A total brain with music and the big orch backing her . Does not get any better .
She is amazing. Hands down. I LOVE HER! But I don't understand why she is singing this at the 'David Foster and Friends' concert. This is a Leonard Bernstein composition.....??? Is this like one of his favorite songs?? Can someone tell me the back story please???
when Barbara recorded an album of show tunes, she sought out the best in the business to arrange & produce her version of this song.In the end, no live version does the tune justice . Her studio version, recorded, arranged & produced by David Foster is often considered his & even her' best piece of work of all times because of the theme & crescendo at the end. It literally raises goose bumps on a person every single time it is heard. run a search for the studio version it on you tube.
This is the most underrated performer of the 2007-2011 period - all of the albums were fantastic - sales will eventually be better - maybe a variety show would do it - there really are none now
@tham4wdzaa It was originally on the West Side Story soundtrack, sung by Marnie Nixon, but David foster produced this single for Barbra Streisand much later.

When I watched this on television, I was thinking 'don't mess it up', and holding my breath. She nailed it, and I swear I was in tears at the end for her.
@buckeyenut39 When have you seen David Foster jump up from his piano after a performance like this ! He knows she is the very best there is today and maybe for a long , long time !
First of all I would like to say that I am an oldies but goodies girl, therefore hard to impress with now a days artists. Secondly this Lady is really the real deal: beauty , power and grace a rare combination that all music producers are looking for. And last but not least not everyone can sing and best Barbara Streisand, and that high note at the end send chills up my spinal cord, I wish I poses that truly angelic voice.

Hey KATHARINE fans! Though none of you will probably get to see or like this:(
I believe someone will see it:)
My name is Ido, and I'm a singer 23 years old
After years of practice, I started doing covers on my Youtube channel page
I know we all have dreams and my dream can come true with your help by going on my channel - that's all it takes
If you think you can help a little dreamer, the 'thumbs up' button would make everyone see this and my videos!
Thanks alot ! :D
