@@RLifestyle453 Mariah Carey is considered one of the best vocalists ever and is referred to as the songbird supreme. Does she have haters that downplay that? Yes, but she’s highly regarded in the music industry.
Kelly Clarkson will always be THE American Idol, but Katharine has my heart. She changed my whole perspective on music by introducing me to jazz and blues. She’s an old soul. One of a kind.
I like how the older series of A.I. you can truly see when the judges are blown away by someone with an incredible voice. None of this over the top reaction and jumping out of seats. Just a stunned silence. How nice 🙂
I've been wondering since this came out, what did Simon say? CARRENT OR CURRENT? Im not an english native speaker, anyone can explain me what he said and what it means? thanks :D
@@saierwe He said, "Current" It is a weird description to give someone, but he somewhat explains it after she makes that face. As it was a bit unusual to say.
Ha. I auditioned for Simon, Paula & Randy right after her (that's me in the background with the dreads and the blue shirt when she leaves the room and hugs her mom). I knew I couldn't follow that. She's a pro.
What a natural gift? She's been trained by her vocal coach mother her entire life, the same mother who has supported her one hundred percent and is awesome.
It is a natural gift, even if her mom did that. You can’t teach someone to have a great voice. You can improve, strengthen and refine, but you either have it or not. Still great story.
Yeah, she may have raw talent but having vocal coaching pretty much your whole life is 100% a leg up on the competition. Let's not pretend this is a random kid who just sings in the shower and wound up making it in show biz.
Thank you! I was thinking just that. And there is nothing wrong with having received excellent training. Actually it's the safer, more sustainable and more likely way than this myth of "natural talent" that brings forth perfection. It might. But it's VERY unlikely and far from superior to actually knowing what you're doing.
It's not like you're ugly. Anyway people are supposed to be unique. It's just that we live in a culture right now that puts great value on these "gifts". However, I'd rather be an ugly great philosophical thinker or some saint that noone knows about than some known formula of beauty that is common throughout history. Food for thought: It's not always the person who's appreciated at his time that makes a difference. For example, van Gogh died thinking he was a talentless piece of shit loser that never amounted for anything. I bet he thought he'd rather be some random handsome man who got all the ladies too. Live your life by the mantra to do great work that makes a difference to you.
But....in the finals, she came up against "Goober" and after all, how can anyone have a chance, against Goober? Seriously now, this woman 2nd, 1st place, Goober, weirdest thing I ever saw.
purplefashion03 i highly doubt she was forced into this ... like she said she’s been hearing singing since she was in her moms belly.. this was clearly her passion .. your comment was pretty rude but they can’t see it anyways lol
purplefashion03 her mom became a vocal coach of idol AFTER this particular season, they hired her because they saw her training Kat lol..stop spewing bullshit..
"Your Mom's living her career through you" Well, doesn't Simon have all the answers. Look at the path her mom put her on!! " Your Moms given you a tremendous gift" . That's what I say.🥀
IS she still a sweetheart? I remember reading an ugly story where she crashed a wedding at a resort she was staying at and then made fun of the bride with her celebrity friend . Also seems to be a social climber..
Katherine is so beautiful inside and out. Her voice is amazing! I'm sad that she wasnt as popular as carrie underwood and Kelly Clarkson were but at least she made it as an Idol bc she deserved it! Such a sweet soul 😊👍
She is BEAUTIFUL looks alot like VICTORIA PRINCIPLE...Also very nice PERSONALITY.... OH by the way DAVID FOSTER is VERY HANDSOME....Love the way he dresses up....
She's hands down my all time favorite contestant. I love her mom with her top 2 comment. When your kid has this much talent you know it and you're not afraid to tell anyone either.
Grandmother I’m a singer. We love singing together and she’s singing LITERALLY all the time! Doing vocal warm ups without realizing it. It’s adorable. This is really inspiring I’m going to show her this clip :)
After this show a year or two, she surprised my church with a walk in guest appearance. She said she wasn’t doing well and needed to get back in touch. She was so Hubble, the church was in Plymouth Mi. After that she showed up on her TV Series, back in touch.
LOVE HER. So funny and silly. It's obvious she doesn't take herself to seriously. Her voice gave me chills when I watched it the first time. I had never heard someone sing so purely, yet powerfully and soulfully. I still get goosebumps. You go Kat! Loved the first album, and I'll be buying her new album on January 5th.
I remember watching her first performances years ago. She is absolutely phenomenal! She has a voice of an angel. You are divine Kathy. Best wishes from a fan :) The World needs more of you, never stop singing :)
Awwwww this was so touching to watch, Randy was right, a natural talent! Her Somewhere Over The Rainbow performance is one of the greatest performances I've seen on Idol.
And to think, she’s married to a 16 Grammy winner now and one of the greatest producers in the world. Literal angel in the music world. Her voice is just uh.
Having only learned about Kat through Smash, this is the first time I've seen her in her younger years. This video makes me tear up with her! I'm so amazed at her talent and her beautiful charisma!
Katherine is the only former american idol contestant that I've followed since I saw her in the show. She has such a beautiful voice and is so genuin. I just love her 💕
Happy happy birthday baby girl beautiful gorgeous lovely artist and actress god bless you Katharine m sweetness love you so very much appreciated thanks for posting this stay strong and healthy and prosperous darling goodness😂😂😊😘😍😍😎😎🇺🇸🎆😇😇😙😙🇺🇸.
Me too! Just saw her yesterday and I was amazed at how fricking amazing her voice was!! It almost sounded like it was playback, but the emotion and the difference to the album version... Wow I'm really impressed by her! :)
It's so great to see this again, plus the few parts we never got to see before. Love the reading of the note from Peisha! She's just adorable. Can't wait for the new CD in Jan.
It’s 2017 and look at Kat now, she has done so well. She’s been in 2 of my favourite shows, Smash and Scorpion. She seems like a really nice person too.
Monica Marie Her mother is the definition of a stage mother.....living her dream through her kid. She also got a job with the show as a vocal coach and stayed with it until the end
Anthony Paul I wonder then if it's true and real success if it costs the person something (in a a negative way I mean.) maybe that's not true success then.
Monica Marie - Yep, her mother even chose her audition song. She didn’t say that, but it’s pretty clear when she read the note. The judges even realize she’s a total stage mom and Katharine doesn’t deny it! Lol She’s very talented, though. :)
Katherine McPhee, She has such a beautiful face and of course a God given gift of a beautiful voice. Fun to watch back and see a very delightful 21 years old Katherine.
Watching her audition again now and remember it back then im still blown away. Especially when she turns it up at 3:45. And I was a casual watcher but if she was on i would make the effort to change the channel to her performances.
She's the most underrated singer ever.
She sure is. This woman can do it all
yet she cannot get a good agent.
Mariah Carey step aside

Look up her Celine dion impression she did with her hubby 😍
Kelly Clarkson will always be THE American Idol, but Katharine has my heart. She changed my whole perspective on music by introducing me to jazz and blues. She’s an old soul. One of a kind.
Both stars who were able to shine thanks to American Idol.
Dude, this is not a gift, this is the fruits of many years hard work.
She is trained not naturally gifted.
I like how the older series of A.I. you can truly see when the judges are blown away by someone with an incredible voice. None of this over the top reaction and jumping out of seats. Just a stunned silence. How nice 🙂
exactly, this newer A.I seems so fake
I agree!!!!
She's not just a great singer. She is a sweetheart and pretty as well.
4:47 her face when she said CURRENT?! pure gold
Sooo cute.
Adorable!!

@@andrewadami3920 thank u!!! so many years with that doubt! haha
I love her on Smash! I wish they had continued that show beyond 2 seasons. The best show!
Ha. I auditioned for Simon, Paula & Randy right after her (that's me in the background with the dreads and the blue shirt when she leaves the room and hugs her mom). I knew I couldn't follow that. She's a pro.
I see you!😉
You are cute!
I hope you are still reaching for your dreams, even if those dreams are not the same dreams they were back then.
A. Darryl Moton that’s awesome ! Keep going for it !!! I see you there cheering for Kat
I saw you. Dayum you're gorgeous ❤️😊💜😚😘
I listened to a few songs on your channel. You have a beautiful voice and quite a range! Out of curiosity, which song did you audition with? Cheers!
Maaaaaaannnnn.. Keep it going! Your time will come. :)
"I'll be worried in the top two" She did make it to the top two! What a prediction! :)
What a natural gift? She's been trained by her vocal coach mother her entire life, the same mother who has supported her one hundred percent and is awesome.
It is a natural gift, even if her mom did that. You can’t teach someone to have a great voice. You can improve, strengthen and refine, but you either have it or not. Still great story.
@@TheRoadDawg no it's years of training from the earliest of years from her mother who did an amazing job coaching her. This is not a natural gift.
@@myknittingblog i would say the same. I was horrible 3 years ago and i am alot better now after practicing one hour a day almost every day.
Yeah, she may have raw talent but having vocal coaching pretty much your whole life is 100% a leg up on the competition. Let's not pretend this is a random kid who just sings in the shower and wound up making it in show biz.

I had never heard of Katherine before I saw her on Scorpion (I don't watch American Idol or any of it's competitors). Wow, what a great voice.
The voice that should take over the world.
+ikeknights Listen to when she sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow, it will leave you speechless!
I first heard of her from her tv show "smash" (it ended)
+ikeknights Try watching SMASH. Has her singing and acting!
ikeknights right!? I had exactly the same thought
She can sing, act, and she's pretty. I tell you some people get all the luck!
+Jason James I don't think it was luck. She had a natural gift and worked hard to perfect it.
Emily D. - I see your point, although l was born unattractive, and there's no amount of hard work that can fix that, lol!
you can work hard and earn enough money to reconstruct your face though
It's not like you're ugly. Anyway people are supposed to be unique. It's just that we live in a culture right now that puts great value on these "gifts".

This is one of my favorite American idol auditions ever.
Her mom literally predicted she was gonna be in the top 2
I got that too!
I just saw that lol

Back when America idol actually had judges that actually judged and knew what real talent was.
I thought the same. Started rewatching A.I this season and the judges are doing an excellent job.
I like the judges now tho
@@evanantonola4935 that's what the fuck I just said dude
Judges are definitely better now, there's a reason they cancelled the show and rebooted it with better judges.
@@domhaydel3894 he wasn't responding to you anyway hah
wow, it's a lovely thing to see how much a parent believes in her child's talent and individuality. good on mom.
She was so young, the childish roundness of her face is charming. Humble, cute and very sweet. She's my favorite AI contestant. Pure talent.
I remember that year, she was my favorite contestant. Such a natural.
What a sweetheart. I remember looking forward to seeing her every week. This was when Idol was a great show.
Ditto!
.. agreessss...111%%%👍👍👏👏🤗🤗😍😘LOVEdss AI, *(back then..) wen SimonC were in Judge chair...🤗👏👍👯♀️👯♂️💝💖💞
IS she still a sweetheart? I remember reading an ugly story where she crashed a wedding at a resort she was staying at and then made fun of the bride with her celebrity friend . Also seems to be a social climber..
That vibrato though... So subtle but so stunning.
Her mom is fantastic!! I wish I could have heard them sing together.
That's what I thought as well :).
The mother’s reassurance and confidence shined on and here we are. Love this
No her mom’s insecurities
Just saw her on the London West End starring in “Waitress”. She amazing!
LUCKY!!
One of the best and most memorable auditions ever for me
How did she not win? That's a voice from the gods!
Katherine is so beautiful inside and out. Her voice is amazing! I'm sad that she wasnt as popular as carrie underwood and Kelly Clarkson were but at least she made it as an Idol bc she deserved it! Such a sweet soul 😊👍
.. agreesss with yah 111%%%..👍👏🤗💙💝💖💞LOVEsss KMcPH..👯♀️😘😍😗💞💖💝💙👯♀️
She was in a great series and married the biggest popular music producer/composer in the world. Not bad.
She is BEAUTIFUL looks alot like VICTORIA PRINCIPLE...Also very nice PERSONALITY.... OH by the way DAVID FOSTER is VERY HANDSOME....Love the way he dresses up....
"I'd be worried in the Top 2." - Her Mom
Daammmnn it came true
I love how she cries and her mom laughs with her heart, beautiful
Simon: You are very current
Katherine: Current ???
LOL
😂
She's hands down my all time favorite contestant. I love her mom with her top 2 comment. When your kid has this much talent you know it and you're not afraid to tell anyone either.
This was one of my favorite auditions. I remember recording it and playing over & over. Wish she was bigger than she is. True talent.
She looks so young here 😆 and she is but her cheekbone game is still there lol
her reaction to the judges comments is so cute
Still watching this on 2019, always loved her personality n talent!
Hollywood where is she??
Bring her back
She just married David Foster, a famous music producer.
She was Playing Jenna in Waitress on the West End in London at the beginning of the year
her mother,:I'LL BE WORRIED IN THE TOP 2."
TOP NOTCH! SHE WAS ON THE TOP 2!
And then Derp Patrol won. Has Derp Patrol done anything since? Nope? Didnt think so.
I'm going through all of he old auditions for nostalgia and she could definitely sing exceptionally well.
Could?!? Have you heard her recently? She's 100 times better!
Omg she sooo reminds me of my 12 year old grand daughter. In spirit and energy. She’s a phenomenal singer already and as a g
Grandmother I’m a singer. We love singing together and she’s singing LITERALLY all the time! Doing vocal warm ups without realizing it. It’s adorable. This is really inspiring I’m going to show her this clip :)

I absolutely LOVE Kelly Clarkson, but I think Katherine might be the best pure vocalist to ever come through this show - truly amazing.
Kelly Clarkson is way better
LOVE HER. So funny and silly. It's obvious she doesn't take herself to seriously. Her voice gave me chills when I watched it the first time. I had never heard someone sing so purely, yet powerfully and soulfully. I still get goosebumps. You go Kat! Loved the first album, and I'll be buying her new album on January 5th.

I saw her at the Waitress musical show less than 2 months ago in london and she was AMAZING
Awwwww this was so touching to watch, Randy was right, a natural talent! Her Somewhere Over The Rainbow performance is one of the greatest performances I've seen on Idol.
.. me2..same here.. amazingly phenomenal sang.. zover the Rainbows..😘😍😗💞💖💝👯♀️😘😍🤗👏👍💙💝💖💞LOVEsss KMcPH...👯♀️😘😍😗💞💖💝
Yes agreed. I can't believe she didn't win. Taylor hicks was a joke.
And to think, she’s married to a 16 Grammy winner now and one of the greatest producers in the world. Literal angel in the music world. Her voice is just uh.
She's 37 and he's 71 and on his 5th marriage.
Social climber and she turned into a catty self absorbed shallow female
Ginnifer Goodwin + Vanessa Hudgens = Katherine McPhee
or like a slightly different Victoria Justice
Katherine McPhee = Katherine McPhee :)
AmerginMacEccit Katharine. And yes, the one and only.
brittany rie

Love her voice. Beautiful
And WOW! Did she ever blossom!
She was my favorite of that season!
My all time favorite IDOL Audition
Happy happy birthday baby girl beautiful gorgeous lovely artist and actress god bless you Katharine m sweetness love you so very much appreciated thanks for posting this stay strong and healthy and prosperous darling goodness😂😂😊😘😍😍😎😎🇺🇸🎆😇😇😙😙🇺🇸.
Love seeing this again! Still my favorite idol ever. Love the part about the note from Peisha!
She can't be more beautiful! My GOD
loved her so much in smash...rewatching videos...lol
Cecily Fasham
So did I. Everyone I know was a fan. Was shocked they took it off the air.
Smash was amazing
"I'll be worried when shes in the final two"
WHOA MOMMA MCPHEE
OMG i can't believe she made me cry like seriously
Absolutely LOVED her on that show!
I wish I had 1 person in my life who loved and supported me as much as her mother does
Just seen her in waitress in London, she. Is. Insane. Love her and the show!!😊
Me too! Just saw her yesterday and I was amazed at how fricking amazing her voice was!! It almost sounded like it was playback, but the emotion and the difference to the album version... Wow I'm really impressed by her! :)
I just saw her on Waitress in London as well. She’s the reason why we picked that show. She’s amazing
I seen her too!
Her mum is a priceless treasure! God bless her for loving her daughter so completely!
It's so great to see this again, plus the few parts we never got to see before. Love the reading of the note from Peisha! She's just adorable. Can't wait for the new CD in Jan.
I hope the Final season of Idol has at least one moment as sweet as this.
+kennapop3 I agree. This is just the cutest thing.
It’s 2017 and look at Kat now, she has done so well. She’s been in 2 of my favourite shows, Smash and Scorpion. She seems like a really nice person too.
She looked so different back then
rainy month well one she carried more weight at that time
Donte821 yes, pre Hollywood unfortunately
She was getting over an eating disorder . She used to be bolemic and she recently started treatment for it before she auditioned for the show.
Donte821 not even close
She's a beautiful girl inside and out. It's mad to see how young she looks iv only seen her in scorpion she's a grown woman now.
AMAZING.. Can't wait to see more new footage on Idol Rewind!!
keep on coming back to her audition. the best ever
I kind of feel for her. Her mother pretty much noticed she had potential and worked her until she became a famous.
Monica Marie Her mother is the definition of a stage mother.....living her dream through her kid. She also got a job with the show as a vocal coach and stayed with it until the end
Monica Marie You feel for her? Why is that? I never felt for anyone who became successful.
success always, always costs you something........sometimes you have to ask what exactly did that person give up and was it worth it?
Anthony Paul I wonder then if it's true and real success if it costs the person something (in a a negative way I mean.) maybe that's not true success then.
Monica Marie - Yep, her mother even chose her audition song. She didn’t say that, but it’s pretty clear when she read the note. The judges even realize she’s a total stage mom and Katharine doesn’t deny it! Lol She’s very talented, though. :)
Owwww my heart hurts. She is so sweet and talented and sincere.
Katherine McPhee, She has such a beautiful face and of course a God given gift of a beautiful voice.
Fun to watch back and see a very delightful 21 years old Katherine.
She's blossomed so much since this. You have come a long way baby.
Funny that her mom joked about she would be worry in the final two and Kat ended up in the final of AI that year.
I've never cried for anyone before. Wow, you really made me feel something. I'm so happy for you :)
One of the greatest vocalists and auditions ever.
Imagine having that kind of support and training behind you
Her moms a voice teacher... no wonder she’s so technically amazing
She is my sentimental Favorite ...... Until now , i really can't believe that she didn't win ....
OMG!! I love you Kath Mcphee!! You are amazing!!
David Foster is a lucky guy. I'm very happy for both of them....three of them now💞
It’s one thing to push your child and give them false hope, but her mother pushed her because she knew she truly had incredible talent
THIS MAKES SENSE.
She’s so bubbly and that smile! Even now!
I remember becoming an instant fan!!
im only 72 if only i were a little older i could have given david foster a run for the money. i adore you and wish you the best life ever.
She's actually very beautiful 😍
You're such a beautiful spirit, Kath! 🙏
I was rooting for her since I saw her audition way back. She is a total package
I’m so happy about how far she’s come 😄
I was trained in Pieshas studio on Sherman Oaks...I know that back guest house well. Congrats Kat! Hugs Dan!
She is so freaken gorgeous, I cant decide whether to love or hate her!
Thank you Katherine
She looks So Much Better Today ! 🤗
So was pretty when she was 21 years old.
She has grown up amazingly
Oh yeah she did great marrying that very old man for his money and now making sure to get pregnant.
Katharine McPhee... Super talented, likable like no one and mind blowing beautiful. The ultimate package
I love her. So much friggin talent in one little person. She's so beautiful and talented and she has such power in her voice, it's incredible.
Only watching this in 2016, eleven years after omfg
Neco Kavanagh beat you, watching this in 2017 😂 I missed her
Watching her audition again now and remember it back then im still blown away. Especially when she turns it up at 3:45. And I was a casual watcher but if she was on i would make the effort to change the channel to her performances.
I knew shes beautiful inside and out since I saw her in David Foster and friends. 😍
One of the most beautiful souls and presences in the bizz
