She Used To Be Mine - Waitress CLOSING BROADWAY (Katherine McPhee)

[@noahwelburn8835]

Every rendition katherine mcphee does of this song just sounds so effortless and meant for her voice it brings me to tears

[@dori2513]

i know the belted ending is not how the song goes and this is the first time i actually heard someone do it. i think its amazing and i feel like it gives more power to "i'm missing who i used to be". it feels like belting it shes saying how much she mourns what she used to be, wants it back and screams for it.

[@Cairismel]

Jordan Sparks' version was great!

[@JuanRodriguezJuanma]

Somebody else is obsessed with the part: "... and re-write an ending or two"? It is just magnificent to hear this song interpreted in a such beautiful way.

[@robhiro]

She sounds so good! I love Katharine McPhee in hitlist, bombsehell, and her solo pop albums. But this is her best performance. She sounds amazing in Waitress

[@cpolite5374]

She sings this the best. It's got too much of my past living in this song.

[@teamrierraforever]

This is definitely my favorite rendition of this song, Katherine gives her soul in every note.

[@ashleybucci23]

I always get chills when she sings this

[@erickscherzy1903]

Alison Is better

[@TheWigg]

jordin sparks puts more emotion into it, she was the GOAT

[@shalawndudley2094]

Jordin Sparks❤❤❤

[@dandelincheng9902]

The first time I saw her do this in London was one of the best theatrical moment I've ever experienced. And weirdly cuz I loved Smash, I almost felt proud to see Karen Cartwright sing like this lol.

[@AvianaPatterson]

She's incredible!. Daaaamn! She SLAYED that song!.

[@angelesbarkus-hough3932]

this song will always hit so close

[@greeneyedgirlina]

I think this song hits close for every woman who has ever heard this song, if she has a soul.

[@gregorycooper7464]

One of the greats of our time. I wish she got the credit she deserves.

[@crikeyyitsmikeyy]

It's funny because her season of American Idol the final 2 were Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks, both of whom worked broadway and Simon used Broadway as an insult against them lol Jokes on him

[@RichardA.-yi5sz]

@@crikeyyitsmikeyy , Mr. Cowell has quite the track record for slamming performers that go on to be greats. He once told a dancing violinist that she wasn't good enough at dancing or music to be acceptable at either one. Her name was Lindsey Stirling.

[@crikeyyitsmikeyy]

@@RichardA.-yi5sz I'm a professional violinist, and I hear so many people slam her for not being classically trained/having attended a top music school. And it blows my mind because... she's incredible? She isn't trying to be a concert violinist, she's an entertainer and performer and so much fun live. Long story short, people will always have something to say about people they are envious of.

[@danielel1874]

Such a beautiful performance. All that feeling was spot on. 😊

[@angiejenkins7714]

I absolutely love her voice. I would love to see in concert or at a play.

What to see something exceptional, watch Sara Bareilles do this as a duet with Brandi Carlile. It is stunning.

[@heatherwalker3177]

1,000,000 times YES!!! I’ve listened to the live version of Sara and Brandi sing “She used to be mine” a hundred times! I am so psyched to see Brandi in concert this coming August. I know it’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster. 🎢 🥹

[@lilyfreed5642]

What I would do to be able to turn back time and see Katherine McPhee play Jenna! I saw waitress for my 17 th birthday with my mom and granny and I couldn’t bring myself to see The show again with out my granny because she had recently passed.

[@McKaylaBrookeOfficial]

I’m stealing that riff I love that riff way more than the original

[@sylviasmiley1721]

I love this scene but I don't love the clapping. I know it's powerful but i can't imagine anyone clapping at the end of It's Quiet Uptown or something serious.

[@Isladepee25]

I get what your saying but she went for the opt up at the end cause it was closing day so it wasn’t expected x

[@sylviasmiley1721]

@@Isladepee25 thank you for the background. I would hope they didn't do that for every show but I haven't seen it live for reference.

[@laisalmeida5575]

Well, I've watched her live in West End and people clapped at the end of it. That didn't mean they weren't crying. I've also watched Moulin Rouge and the audience clapped at the end of the reprise of Come What May. I think that the recognition of how outstanding the performance was doesn't distract the actor, but I understand it affects YOUR experience.

[@pfftxoxo1502]

You’re clapping for the performers

[@chrish4773]

Respect your opinion, but they do in fact clap after It’s Quiet Uptown (before rolling into Election of 1800). And there’s applause after So Big / So Small in Dear Evan Hansen, which is just a beautiful sob fest.

[@alyoungcuda]

When I saw Kat ,it was Quiet till the end on this scene..she did a great job on the show.

[@JobjobJob-f6e]

Jeremy Jordan sings this song so beautifully too❤

[@JessicaHll]

Jeremy Jordan could sing the phone book and I'd listen on repeat for eternity.

[@miyannapittman5580]

Controversial opinion: I prefer when Jenna doesn't belt the end. The song has already hit its climax, and it just feels out of place. I can forgive this though as a final performance, and Katherine's performance in the rest of the song was fantastic.

[@cool10234]

Do you have an example of someone performing it another way that’s better? , the end of this piece is the climax and thus the character belting or fully succumbing to the emotion of the moment feels earned

[@miyannapittman5580]

I mean, on the obc recording it ends in a soft, almost whispered sigh. It's sort of resigned and breathy, but it works to both flow into the next song and end in a softer place. Like I said before, the climax is already past and she kind of breaks down at the end.

[@ic3678]

Me too.

[@SnowCoveredKK]

It’s not controversial, it’s the way the song was intended to end. Then they put singers in the role and…well, you can tell the insecurity of maybe having a vulnerable moment on stage as a singer versus having a vulnerable moment on stage as an actor, which is why they seem to belt the end

[@itsDandyLion]

@@SnowCoveredKK The intention is chosen by the singer and director. Different actors in the role will take it in different directions based on how they view the character they portray would. Some belt, some don't. They make personal changes in every song before production.

[@spookyvineboycovers9424]

What I would do to have the vocal control and strength she has…

[@pureffm]

She worked with with vocal coach Nathalie Weiss. And also had a mother as a vocal teacher. I feel she really reached the next level with Nathalie. Better placement on the top notes.

[@ZoraSingsohh]

The emotion in her eyes. 😢

[@deh2775]

Jesse Mueller is much more powerful in this role and in performing this song. Katherine is "singing" not "feeling" the moment. She's "performing." Just not feeling it from her here (her vocals are great, though).

[@senorgato70]

Sorry, but Jesse looks like she's having seizures during this song and it totally distracts from the song. This song is about a woman reflecting on her past and longing for what she thought she would become. I can't imagine if someone truly was experiencing the emotions of this moment, that they would at the way Jesse did. Katherine's performance, IMO, is much more realistic and gives a sense of a woman finding strength in herself. It's all about interpretation, of course.

[@deh2775]

@@senorgato70 To each his/her own. For me, Jesse "feels" the song, Katherine "performs " it. I chalk it up to Jesse being an actress and Katherine being a singer. There's a rawness to Jesse's performance; Katherine's a bit more polished. It's good to see different performers interpret the role. Though for me, it's just a gorgeous, emotionally resonant song.

[@senorgato70]

@@deh2775 Let's clarify. Jesse is a stage actress. Katharine is a movie/TV actress. No disrespect to Jesse, but there is a big difference in interpretation and that's okay. Watch Sara Bareille's own interpretation and you will see her original intent with the song.

[@smallsignals]

1 minute in and I've actually quite surprised by Katherine's really good acting... but the guy... why is it being so emotive. Not his fault, but not right for the moment. We doesn't need to care about Earl... it cuts away from what's about to come.

[@smallsignals]

It's a shame though, Katherine couldn't really stay connected to the character. The music kept pulling her away when it should've been grounding her in.
