[@erikkoski6129]

How the hell did she not win American idol and how was she not more known for her music she's so amazing with music

[@evalestari484]

MY THOUGHT EXACTLY!!! I watched her whole season, rooting for her and Daughtry, cried when Daughtry was eliminated, cried even more when she didn't win 😭😭😭

[@kimchi98541]

I keep forgetting she didn’t win bc she’s been so successful since

[@TheCatNoOneWanted]

Because everyone gets to vote for the American idol, including idiots and sheeple.

[@JappethBen]

Acting is also her passion.. Shes just multi talented..

[@FanGRL27]

Bc most talent competitions are about popularity and their back stories and how sad they are rather than the talent someone brings.

I saw her when she did waitress in London ... she didn’t fail to make me cry then and she didn’t fail now 😭

[@advocate1563]

Hats off to Sara Bareilles. The singer is the instrument of the song - the song is extraordinary. Bareilles is such a gifted musician and poet and a great role model for modern women. She does the work, she let's the work talk for itself and she rises strong.

[@mikeb1039]

and her rendition stomps all the others.

[@DrJasonTorn]

Sara is a genius. This is such a beautiful song. However - Alison luff does a version of this song which is so off the charts - I cried.

We really do need Smash Season 3. It would be the perfect show for NBCs new streaming service Peacock. Like if you agree!

[@EphenStreet]

As much as I agree, that cast would be expensive as hell. Scheduling would be a nightmare. Everyone's careers really took off after that show.

[@PhilsOsophie]

@@EphenStreet Hm, I see neither Kat, nor Megan, Debra, Jeremy or Christian as stars who devour a big budget. They could easily do a new storyline without Anjelica Houston, who, let's face it, is probably the only real A-lister from that cast.

[@sophiephillips8629]

@@PhilsOsophie Debra is an a lister and popular before smash in will and grace and Katherine is popular from scorpion. Christians now a Tony winner. Jeremy is big from supergirl.

[@JR-nx5wc]

What I love about this is that Katharine sings this exactly how she portrays Jenna in the show - as a beaten down, withdrawn and resigned Jenna. And it totally works for her portrayal. Her last “miiiine” tails off all defeated. Alison’s last “miiiine” by contrast is a lot angrier! I haven’t seen Alison’s Jenna but I assume that totally fits her Jenna too! Both great renditions 😩😍
