For me it would be neglected
and i imagine it would be really dark and with the spotlight only lite on kat
and with smoke very subtly rising up as the instrumentals begin
then kat singing the song and then when it gets to the bridge and her belting the lights
around the studio go fully lite and then slowly fade again and focus on kat as she sings
the last lines how could you neglect me.

thats all haha what are your ideas of how the song and lighting should be handled?

Ordinary World.
We all saw how amazing she sang that in her Behind the scenes videos in the EPK kit while in the studio.
She sings that song with pure heart and feeling and although it starts off slow and soft (which is what I like) it builds up to have that climatic belting beautiful sound and a sound like that would be perfect for American Idol. It would remind the AI Katharine fans that Katharine can still sing those beautiful ballads even though the direction, when compared to the songs she sang on AI, hasn't changed that incredible Katharine McPhee sound that she possesses and projects so well in every song she performs.

well she wouldn't just sing anything. What's the point in that? If she does come back and does, in fact, sing, logically it would be the 2nd single....which in my opinion, should be Not Ur Girl or Open Toes.

I like what both Radiohead and Matt have chosen. Spree, you make a good point, but the question is whether they want to promote the single or promote the album. Playing a ballad which resonates with the AI audience would serve the purpose of selling additional albums to viewers who aren't necesarily excited by the radio singles.

AFTER CAREFULLY STUDYING EVERYTHING "HOME" WOULD SHOW
KAT'S SORING VOCALS FOLLOWED BY "BETTER OFF ALONE" FOR AN
AI PRESENTATION.
AS HER NEXT SINGLE, "OPEN TOES" WOULD BE A PHENOMENAL HIT
OR A BALAD MOST LIKELY "BETTER OFF ALONE" COULD ALSO BE A
BIG HIT!!!!!
CHOICES, CHOICES, CHOICES........
GOOD LUCK KATHARINE!!!

I would love to see Kat perform Ordinary World. This is the perfect song for Idol. We saw her excel on her ballad performances during season 5, ie.; Somewhwere Over The Rainbow and Someone To Watch Over Me. Ordinary World would fit into this genre perfectly. I don't know how many of you saw her bluesy performance of Over It on VH1 but it was spectacular. I realize that Kat and her advisors want her to sing more contemporary up beat "today" type music because of the audience they attract but, Kat has such an incredible knack for ballads and they show off her remarkable voice to it's best advantage, especially for Idol she needs to sing Ordinary World!

I know it's not likely, but I am hoping that Ordinary World will be her next single. I think it will extend her audience and I think, with the right, hot video, it will be extremely popular on TRL and VH1.

1) ORDINARY WORLD.

Katharine is one of those younger singers whose forte is the classics --ballads!  That's a very good compliment for a young pop singer. You need very good vocals to stand up to that comment and request of a song to sing. Well, she is very good, that's why. Big, powerful voice, great sound and nice tone--WOW.


2) NEGLECTED.

I find this song lovely. It suits my taste. Katharine's voice is well-justified in this song as well.
Movie actors like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis make me want to live in the era they lived but I could have been just as inspired even now while I watch their work in films.

You can't sell Katharine's album with Ordinary World.  One, she doesn't like the song.  Two, as much as some of you keep trying to hold on to this concept that she's the classical ballad singer that she was on Idol.  That isn't what her album is!  It would be false advertising!

Now Neglected would be a good choice.  Boy that could be a sexy performance if she did it right.  What am I saying?  If she did it right.  Of course she'd do it right!

I don't think she necessarily has to sing her next single on Idol.  Personally, I wouldn't want to see her sing Open Toes on Idol if that's the choice for single #2.  I think she struggled with Open Toes at AOL Sessions and we want her to sing something that she can handle flawlessly on Idol.

If she was going to sing one of the ballads on Idol...the most Pop-friendly one is Home.  So that would be my choice is she went that route.

My personal choice though is Not Ur Girl.  They used it on Idol at the beginning of the season and it's a fun, sassy song that still allows Kat to sing & show some of that personality she says she didn't show on Idol.
"I saw Katharine McPhee when there were about 12 contestants left on American Idol. She blew me away. I loved her grace, her style, her poise, her voice and her hair! I wanted her to be the face of Sexy Hair because she represented everything that I had in my head for the brand: youth, beauty, talent, class, a young sophistication, and sexiness." -- Jim Morrison, CEO of Sexy Hair Products.

Well, that's part of what her album is. But they seem to think that part will sell itself.  It's just not what they're pushing. Well, I suppose Over It is a concession of sorts in that it's not a sassy dance tune, although it has a modern sound to it and I usually hear it described as a classic pop ballad.

Maybe some people are making a distinction I don't, in that I tend to lump her Idol ballads and the ones on the album into the same category. I know she didn't record standards per se, and Home and Ordinary World and BOA and Neglected haven't stood the test of time, but I just love all of those songs (okay, the combination of the song and the singer, although I liked BOA the way Austin did it too) and as far as I'm concerned, she did make the album for me--me and a lot of other people. It's all over the place stylistically. Maybe some people think that's a drawback.
