Anyone else upset that with Kat's Early Show appearance,live,on national TV..there was still NO live band?? Couldn't RCA spend some money to better promote this CD?Why does Katharine always seem to be performing with those canned tracks.....give her a break!!!

Yep.... You (as a performer) are only as good as your last gig, and it's clearly evident to me that the powers to be don't seem too interested in promoting Kat as a true musician.  Too bad.  Given the right (live) band, she would blow everybody's socks off!

I have to agree with keefir on this one.
Having no live band is penny wise, pound foolish IMHO.

A live band can be over rated.

Moreover, it appeared to me that the back up "singers" were singing into dead microphones too. Those backup vocals sounded, to my ear, like pure McPhee to me. Having a live band for these few television appearances seems to be asking a bit much. I don't mind blasting RCA when I think they are due it but here there simply was not time for practice and it had the potential to go the wrong way, IMO. I thought this appearance went quite well....I wouldn't fret about NO BAND.

Didn't Kat used to have a live band? What happened to them I wonder? I agree CRB I think the back-up singer's mics were dead. Those sounded like Kat's voice to me too. I do think Kat should have a live band tho...it makes thing me interesting IMHO. Not that Kat isn't interesting in herself...but to people who aren't fans YET, it probably would be more interesting.

Kat's Comment to me:

"Lauren,
don't worry about your gift and not getting on time. That is sooo sweet but you didn't have to do that. I really appreciate it. I read your comment and it really touched me. I'm happy you enjoyed your first season of Idol. I mostly thank you for all your support. It means more than anything. I just love that people are enjoying the music. Keep in touch and thanks again. Cute page too!

A musical performance without a good live band is nothing more than Karaoke.... which is not for me.  It's these little things, like having a live band that mark the difference between OK and great.  If you don't have time to do your job (rehearse with a live band) why bother???

I don't know who is to blame for all of this, but it was a faulty decision. A live band is NEVER over rated... period.

The track sounded just like the album right down to that crazy little giggle-whoop at the end. I think those were just 3 dancers, the ones from the LS vid in fact. Actually I don't think the audience gave a rat's derriere whether the music was live or canned, they were just dancing and having a good time. They were there to see katharine, not her band. The rest were just there to have fun.

I guess all the record companies could save a bunch of money by having the musicians just stay home; Cue up the CD and have the singer lip sync to the songs. 

Maybe to some the music and a live band is unimportant, but to me, that is why I go to a live event; to see the actual performers and musicians. I can just as easily sit at home if I want to listen to a canned track.
