I notice that  william hasn't posted since the 9th of April.  I hope he starts his classic look back at Katharine's performances  thread soon or I'm going to have to play the part of usurper and start one myself!

This was a big week for Katharine, she sang  Someone To Watch Over Me from the Great American Songbook with Rod Steward as the mentor!



This was a huge performance for Katharine (this still is a shameless plug for the HD version in the Media Forum) and it won her a lot of diehard fans!

Maybe he went away for spring break. Many NJ school systems are closed this week. Give him until Sunday to get back in town, then usurp away.

Okay, I am here. There has been some breaking over the last couple of days on the firing of one Don Imus from his radio program, for some remarks that I can't do here.

Welcome to Week 6 of our look back of Katharine's "American Idol" journey from last season.

This week, as CRB has mentioned, we are looking at the "Great American Songbook", with Rod Stewart as guest mentor.

Katharine did "Someone To Watch Over Me", written by the Gershwins, George & Ira.

What do you remember of that performance?

Now, we can begin.

Well, for one thing, Katharine was last to sing that night.

I was very impressed with that performance, and she sat on the floor right in front of the judges, it was almost like Frank Sinatra's performance, who actually did the sing, arranged by Nelson Riddle, of "Send In The Clowns", written by Stephen Sondheim for the "Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back" special in 1973.

Katharine showed me a sparkle that night, that I will remember.

This was the only video of hers posted on AI for a while so I watched it more than the rest. This was the first of several memorable performances on the floor (BHACT and SOTR)! She owned this song. How could you not love her after this?

Edit: Oh yeah! wonderful lower registers. Mmm Mmm Good!

That is actually einsteinium from Stage 6's vid but I'll take credit. 

Here is a link for a download of a true HD version, that is absolutely amazing though.  I found this at the Superior Pictures board and got it from there,  the quality of this clip  is amazing:

If you don't have sound get this AC3 filter for the audio and run it.

I think this is one of the performances that really transcends an "American Idol" performance, much like her duet with Meatloaf at the Finale,  and Katharine hit real emotional chords that resonated with the audience at home.

The "hair pulleed back" look wasn't repeated in her run on Idol, at least to this extent,  as she went with the lions mane of curled extensions for most of the rest of the performance nights.  The business suit look went well with the hair and created a very business-like look that was in sharp contrast to the intimate and emotional nature of the lyrics and vocal.

I think with this performance Katharine McPhee created a nation of wanna-be shepherds just waiting with bated breath to take this particular "little lamb" into their flock.   For me this was a standout performance that was solid in every way.  Home run?  Oh, yeah.

Much like Rod Stewart there's not much I can say about this one.  It's fantastic!!

Geez, I still get sweaty watching this performance.    Best performance in AI history!

Well it was the best until she sang a little ditty called SOTR.
