Every rendition katherine mcphee does of this song just sounds so effortless and meant for her voice it brings me to tears

i know the belted ending is not how the song goes and this is the first time i actually heard someone do it. i think its amazing and i feel like it gives more power to "i'm missing who i used to be". it feels like belting it shes saying how much she mourns what she used to be, wants it back and screams for it.

Jordan Sparks' version was great!

Somebody else is obsessed with the part: "... and re-write an ending or two"? It is just magnificent to hear this song interpreted in a such beautiful way.

She sounds so good! I love Katharine McPhee in hitlist, bombsehell, and her solo pop albums. But this is her best performance. She sounds amazing in Waitress

I always get chills when she sings this

The first time I saw her do this in London was one of the best theatrical moment I've ever experienced. And weirdly cuz I loved Smash, I almost felt proud to see Karen Cartwright sing like this lol.

She sings this the best. It's got too much of my past living in this song.

She's incredible!. Daaaamn! She SLAYED that song!.

this song will always hit so close

I remember seeing her opening night on Broadway! Chills . It’s amazing seeing actor so connected

One of the greats of our time. I wish she got the credit she deserves.

@@crikeyyitsmikeyy , Mr. Cowell has quite the track record for slamming performers that go on to be greats. He once told a dancing violinist that she wasn't good enough at dancing or music to be acceptable at either one. Her name was Lindsey Stirling.

Such a beautiful performance. All that feeling was spot on. 😊

Omg!!! 😭😭😭 sooo amazing! Wish I could go see this!!!! Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you so much for reposting this.

Well, I've watched her live in West End and people clapped at the end of it. That didn't mean they weren't crying. I've also watched Moulin Rouge and the audience clapped at the end of the reprise of Come What May. I think that the recognition of how outstanding the performance was doesn't distract the actor, but I understand it affects YOUR experience.

What an incredible performance … yup I cried again 😢

Damn. That was amazing.

Controversial opinion: I prefer when Jenna doesn't belt the end. The song has already hit its climax, and it just feels out of place. I can forgive this though as a final performance, and Katherine's performance in the rest of the song was fantastic.

Do you have an example of someone performing it another way that’s better? , the end of this piece is the climax and thus the character belting or fully succumbing to the emotion of the moment feels earned

@miyannapittman5580

I mean, on the obc recording it ends in a soft, almost whispered sigh. It's sort of resigned and breathy, but it works to both flow into the next song and end in a softer place. Like I said before, the climax is already past and she kind of breaks down at the end.

It’s not controversial, it’s the way the song was intended to end. Then they put singers in the role and…well, you can tell the insecurity of maybe having a vulnerable moment on stage as a singer versus having a vulnerable moment on stage as an actor, which is why they seem to belt the end

@itsDandyLion

@@SnowCoveredKK The intention is chosen by the singer and director. Different actors in the role will take it in different directions based on how they view the character they portray would. Some belt, some don't. They make personal changes in every song before production.

Jesse Mueller is much more powerful in this role and in performing this song. Katherine is "singing" not "feeling" the moment. She's "performing." Just not feeling it from her here (her vocals are great, though).

@senorgato70

Жыл бұрын

Sorry, but Jesse looks like she's having seizures during this song and it totally distracts from the song. This song is about a woman reflecting on her past and longing for what she thought she would become. I can't imagine if someone truly was experiencing the emotions of this moment, that they would at the way Jesse did. Katherine's performance, IMO, is much more realistic and gives a sense of a woman finding strength in herself. It's all about interpretation, of course.

@@senorgato70 To each his/her own. For me, Jesse "feels" the song, Katherine "performs " it. I chalk it up to Jesse being an actress and Katherine being a singer.

It's a shame though, Katherine couldn't really stay connected to the character. The music kept pulling her away when it should've been grounding her in.

Fkn seppos doesnt matter what genre of music or comedy, the fkn wreck it by applauding way to early, when the applause should left to the very end.
