Thanks to the industrious kat_pack15, who posted this at IDF. She's going to sing for us, and it's
just...well... as another descendant of Irish/Scottish/German (and then some) immigrants, this sorta got
to me. Someone observed that she seems to be singing a "lullaby to America." Get yer kleenexes out
and don't say I didn't warn you.

Katharine McPhee
RCA Recording Artist and Actress
Sounds Like Family

Descended from Irish, Scottish and German immigrants, I honor America's connection to people from all over the world. I see myself as part of a larger global family and believe in the importance of its shared history. Thanks to the hard work of many before me, my dreams are becoming reality. With every song I sing, I share another piece of myself with my growing, extended family. I proudly support Save Ellis Island and preserving the birthplace of so many great American stories.

I got so sick of having my computer tell me I couldn't see this or that file because the necessary
Quicktime components weren't available that I finally tracked it down on line and downloaded the latest
version. et voila!

that picture they're using is certainly more reminiscent of "America's Sweetheart" than Miss "We're not in Kansas anymore," isn't it?

If you'd like a nice big version of that ad, here it is.

She really does epitomize the American Dream for so many. No she didn't go from rags to riches but she still symbolizes in many ways what so many dream to be. Again "Creation At Its Best," and the media knows it!

The cool thing here is that not only do they feature Kat in her 1 minute+ vignette spot about Ellis Island, BUT she LEADS off what looks like the 1-minute national commercial spot in stunning fashion AND she makes a great appearance in the other 1-minute national commercial spot. More wonderful national exposure for our girl!

Here is the link to the national TV spots:

Thanks guys for the links. It is such an honor for Kat to be chosen to be in these promos.  I had the wonderful experience of visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty right after it was reopened to the public, three years ago.  It was such a moving experience to stand in the actual place, to view all the media exhibits and to read the stories of those who immigrated to America.  If you haven't seen them yet, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are must sees and definitely should be saved!!

The image “http://www.katharine-pictures.org/albums/userpics/10001/ellisisland.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

We are definitely working together -- working on a record together. She sings so magnificently, it's just amazing -David Foster-
