Katharine McPhee - I Have Nothing

American Idol
I dont own any rights to this song.

[@jacobmccain8794]

This is a full circle moment for Kat! Her future husband is in the room and later in life she sings sings one of the most iconic songs with Andrea. Wow!

[@vincentnapolitano8188]

And what ever happened to taylor hicks lol

[@jeffamunoz]

Katharine McPhee is so underrated!

[@ImSoCheesy100]

As soon as I saw her acting on Scorpion I started looking up her Idol days. She's so phenomenal!! Actress, singer - the double threat!

[@carter4871]

A natural

[@sportsygirl8]

ImSoCheesy100 I had no idea she was a singer until I told my mom that she was on Scorpion and she's like no she's a singer from American Idol and I said next week when Scorpion comes on, sit your butt down and pay attention to it and you'll know

[@nibavares]

+ImSoCheesy100 It was the same for me, I saw her on Scorpion and then I found that she is a fantastic singer!

[@bodhichae8172]

+ImSoCheesy100 She also you used to be on a show called smash that ended a few years ago. It was about her being a star on broadway and playing Marilyn Monroe. You should look it up if you like musicals and stuff like that :) its a great show.

[@bodhichae8172]

+ImSoCheesy100 and she can dance, so she;s really a triple threat xD

[@merrittreeves7136]

I remember being a fan from her first Idol audition. Couldn't believe she didn't WIN. But the proof is in the career since then. Love Katherine! My forever favorite is still her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

[@wangson]

She really does have a terrific voice. And Andrea Bocelli has one of the greatest voices in human history.

[@ScholarOfDarkness]

The correct winner of this season. Where the fuck is Taylor Hicks? Nowhere. And this bitch had a career. Love

[@h06anbjo]

Dylan Darkness I 100% agree with you... She so got robbed of that win!!

[@Missmagazinebura]

Love Katharine

[@michelledauphine1837]

I never understood how she was not the American Idol that season. Kelly will always be my favorite Idol, but Kat is incredible!

[@ritacasaverde]

[@jacobmccain8794]

It was so funny to me when Andrea told David he has to say “she is also nice, beautiful, and young.” I was thinking David was like “yeah I know... that’s why I’m gonna ask her out” haha

One of my fav performance from her! :D Can't believe it's been 7 years... I'm feeling a bit nostalgic watching this..

[@antonbudyanskiy5843]

Wow, and Andrea Boccelli is here! Katharine's voice just amazing!!!

[@MagicMary62]

I think the judges got it terribly wrong with her on this song. She is so gorgeous and talented. She should be nominated for one of the most beautiful people. HOPE SHE SKYROCKETS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

[@michestella]

I remember disagreeing with the judges too. And she deserved to win. I'm glad this wasn't the end for her.

[@strangersinlondon_]

Now, she's engaged to David Foster! Wow.

A lovely person and a great singer is Katharine and as for love, it happens us all at sometime or other regardless. I wish Katharine and David the very best for the future and I hope Katharine keeps singing and David keeps playing the Piano. Oh! and I nearly forgot and I hope that Katharine continues for many seasons as the waitress in Scorpion, its a fab show with fabulous people in it.

[@qg6ff]

it was a stellar, classy, powerhouse performance. that is why she deserved the votes!

[@IM125]

Andrea Bocelli the best singer ever, I love him and his music, and he is so humble, I love when they start singing together.

[@maryammure5151]

David was low key in love with her. The way he was looking at her when she wasn't looking. I know that look lol. And now they married. They got married June 2019.

[@AKAIRI4]

I HAD NO IDEA THIS WOMAN EXISTED AND I CANT BELIEVE SHE AINT BIGGER THAN SHE ALREADY IS..I LOVE HER VOICE AND I AGREE WITH SIMON SHE IS SOO CURRENT AND SHE AINT WANNA BE ISH OR NUN SHE WILL BE AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND I WONT BE SUPRISED IF WIN EVERY AWARD BECAUSE HS EIS WAYYY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED!!!!!

I voted once in all the years of watching idol, and it was for her! #goosebumps

[@venus.invirgo]

i loved it when she did this song! no matter what the judges say!

She went on to do opera I believe. Can you imagine what an honor it is to sing with that opera star?? Wow, he liked her instantly and she is famous throughout opera and broadway stuff

[@BroMandi16]

Oh my God...And now they are married and about to have a baby 😱 life can be pretty crazy sometimes 😉💕

[@huyentrang112911]

She is so amazing, beautiful face, and a best voice, so so warm

[@williamskelton325]

she made the song hers. she can't sing like Whitney, no one can, so she sang it her way. the beginning sounded a little off though, like her voiced cracked. but she did the best she could with a very difficult song

[@jpjboi1]

William Skelton CORRECTION there is a woman who can like Whitney sounds exact her name is Glennis Grace

[@joeybulford5266]

Jennifer Hudson: Hold my beer

[@elisabetromero6896]

With all my musical respects to Jennifer Hudson and Katherine McPhee - there's only one Whitney. The vocal elegance, strength, sweetness, purity, and command in Whitney's voice during her peak years, is truly like no other.

[@misspriss2482]

@@elisabetromero6896 Agreed. There has been no one like her before or since.

[@Rollwithit699]

@@elisabetromero6896 Yes, agree. I still get emotional listening to Whitney's songs, and I don't get sappy easily. Only one Whitney Houston.

[@katherinegarcia5582]

14 years ago my dad watched this episode and my mom was pregnant with me and my parents were still deciding a name for me and my dad heard her voice and told my mom he wanted to name me Katherine because of her 😂

[@patrickmgaddis]

Lol something similar happened when my mom was pregnant with my older sister. My mom said she was watching a Katharine Hepburn movie and she said “If I have a daughter, I’m naming her Katharine.” Also, something funny, my sister’s best friend’s name is Katherine, like your spelling. So there’s my sister KathARine and her best friend KathERine.

[@bleepbloop9123]

Aww

[@thezachman]

If that’s not proof this performance was awesome nothing would be

[@nothlithawk777]

I agree americanidolfan5. Neglected, Everywhere I Go, and Not Ur Girl are superb songs that should have been singles.

[@FDchick]

Wow, she looks stunning and definitely has an amazing voice. I agree...she should have won.

[@chrissytaurus9278]

They get alot of hate, but I see the connection between them with music. I think they're adorable together!!! True live knows no age or bound. Plus his own daughters approve, which nails it for me. Great Voice...Great song 💜

[@cindywillis8923]

Katharine did a beautiful young lady who sings like an angel. I have no ideas why the judges didn't like her version of Whitney Houston's sing. Perhaps because they didn't know it was David Foster who had actually suggested the changes!

Kathrine McPhee and David Foster make a beautiful couple. Wishing them all the very best, and the best of love and joy with your baby.

[@MrSkisurfswimfly]

I really like Katharine, big fan, but Leona Lewis did this for the X-Factor, blows this performance out of the water. Hopefully she will make a comeback because her voice was a true gift. You should all check it out.

An astounding performance!

[@JimInNashville]

What a staggering talent. I am still trying to figure out why the judges that night criticized her, then, the next night, came back and apologized. Rumor has it that David Foster, who wrote the song, thought she was terrific with it.

[@zion24]

Well, remember that WH has the record for the A.I auditions songs, because she is a very big influention for so many people out there, because Whitney is a real diva, and a huge inspiration.

[@cernunnos_rex]

@lovelyclover111 It's called a growl, and strictly speaking, it's not vibrato. Growling can actually put a lot of stress on the vocal cords if done too often, while true vibrato is just the result of healthy cord closure (although some people unconsciously enhance their vibratos by wobbling the larynx or jaw, which is unnecessary and can also be unhealthy). Sorry for the long answer, but hopefully it helps! :P

[@01696646911toan]

i have not comment anymore, because i was freezed by her voice and her beauty...awesome

[@Ray674]

No, I don't think it was out of her league, I think she did an spectacular performance and also gave me goosebumps. I think Simon, Paula and company were extremely cruel to misprize and scorn Miss McPhee. Sad but a true reviewer always present the positive and respect the audience who at the end has the last call.

[@Maskedman46]

@SuperYina21 How can you say that when Jennifer Hudson won an "Oscar" at the Academy Awards which is the highest honor in show business entertainment... Carrie Underwood has won the highest honors at all Country Music Awards...and has the record sales to prove it above anyone on Idol... Fantasia is successful on Broadway and nominated for a Grammy...

[@ProudSpeakerofWhale]

That's true. I should have said "almost always," since there have been a few break-out stars in the ranks of the winners. I still think Kelly Clarkson is the best singer they've ever had on the show.

[@argamo]

que buena buena buena buena mil veces buenaaaa megusto muchooooo

[@cindywillis8923]

Each time the Judges go after I can't Katharine, I can't help but wonder why? Simon did say he was wrong about his incorrect judgement of her singing Whitney's song. Looks like Mr David Foster made a phone call. The public didn't agree with the judges either. We loved Katharine McPhee's changes, interpretation and changes as David had suggested. I bet Simon felt awful when he found out it was David Foster who changed up Whitney's song. Katharine was vindicated by the public as well. She's fantastic. I don't normally follow AGT week by week but I do watch later on KZbin. I love the talent & some of the Judges I really like David Foster & I was scanning through until I found him. He's got more talent than any Judge who's ever been on. He's absolutely amazing! I saw him ince in Housewives (with his x wife, who I liked). He was great & those women's irritates him just as they did me. I've flipped on it a couple of times when Mr Foster may show up but after I knew he wasn't coming back, I never watched again as it's basically garbage. I remember they were attempting to do a sing along to David playbibgvtyevpiano for them & he was angry! I so agreed. I remember Jyievwas the ring leader in that mess. It was awful. They were so self entitled they forgot they didn't have time but David Foster does have major talent. He's not going to play si they can get drunk & sing along out of key as a bump to their trash show. Thanks! I've had this in my craw since I saw that show. That's also when I truly watched David's amazing talent. Love that nan! Now, Katharine & David Foster are married! Absolutely Beautiful. I love them individually & as an extremely talented and gifted couple. I just am a big fan of them both. How gorgeous will their child be? Amazing I'm sure. Simon & Randy continue to rip the Katharine's arrangements throughout the next shows. They're David Foster's arrangements! Neither of these me have the talent David Foster has. He's written some of the best music ever. I do love his music. I just wish they'd do a show together? How great would that be? I'd pay any amount to hear them in person!! ❤️

[@TwinkyX]

I can't believe she lost American Idol to what's-his-name. She is infinity more talented. IMHO she deserves to be as well-known as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.

[@lf1234]

My problem with Kat on these big songs was that when she started "belting" her voice would do this weird warbly thing. She had a great voice, just not a belter's voice.

[@Girlhead]

I agree. I didn't like her on American Idol but she's improved a lot now.

[@IcedLipGloss]

I agree that a more soulful voice fits this song, but she pulled it off anyway. She's amazing. I don't know how she lost to that grey haired goose!
