THIS WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE EVER, ON IDOL! SHE SHOULD HAVE WON!

Sorry for the late reply. Didn't t notice your reply in my inbox a month ago.
Musical preferences are highly subjective. I believe there is an objective basis beneath the subjective overlay. But it is often hard to get to, especially when fans of one singer collide head on with fans of another singer.
If you think it's bad for Broadway and Jazz singers, you should scan the vitriol that some opera fans heap on each other! LOL!
Anyway, good luck in your architecture career.

imo, this is the best I have ever heard her sing. Her problem is when she tries to belt, she sounds awful
-
Effortless and beautiful
-
Still one of my favorite Kat performances on AI...Sheer brilliance.

@countrygurl03us It was a complete crock of shit that she didn't win. Complete joke. I stopped watching Idol the following season.

@thechinadesk Huh - nice to meet you. Toronto Canada - working for diamond schmitt architects. I love ella for the sweet wistfulness in her version - I see this as a ballad that seems to make singers want to bring on the power alla louis kahn :-) I don't know ella = calatrava maybe? or am I confusing wistful with whimsical? or maybe this metaphor can only be extended so far! Thanks for the post - btw kat did a great job here. I also like julie andrews' version.

You're an architect too? I no longer practice. But I was an architect for nearly 30 years. I practiced in Texas, California, and Taiwan.
Ella had a beautiful voice. No argument there. But as I noted before, the problem with so many singers who take on this song, is over-embellishment.
Ella doesn't do it as much as some others, but she still does it too much -- in my book.
As the late great German American architect Mies van der Rohe noted, "Less is more."

@thechinadesk oh please, ella owns this song.

was she crying at the end...? o.o
to this day...this performance STILL brings a tear to my eye. Katharine McPhee outsang that entire competition with this one vocal. simply amazing!

her natural voice is so beautiful.
I prefer this song over songs she sings too high.
