Did she change her hair color yet again?

[VSW]

It's a transitioning color! She's going back to brunette for her leading role on NBC's upcoming sitcom The Pink House. :)

how intimidating would it be to have the president and his wife sitting right in-front of you! she sounded good.:)

[surfboy]

Amazing voice. As good as anyone out there.

[MinhPhuongoctopus]

[MrTitus93]

I can feel the tensions lol. Singing infront of the president?! INSANE

[winnpoober]

Sigh...we complain about Kat being underrated...well Smash is coming and I hope and pray she will finally be given the kudos that she deserved. I agree with the comments about how brave of her to sing in front of suited and seemingly stiff audience and the President right in front center. She did a wonderful job....Such clear vocals. I am so proud of her.

[GlenofRotterdam]

She is unreal. Serving it up to a room full of snoooozers. Way to go, Girl. XO

[schwayy]

Aww, she did amazing! I'd be so nervous I'd freeze there. o.o

[KAYLEE00000]

I have NO IDEA why this isn't one of her singles. It's soooo good and her vocals are amazing. She's so underrated.

[semiastephly]
