Somewhere, Taylor Hicks is ripping the grey hair from his old crusty head and shouting, throwing his TV out the window, and wondering what the hell he did wrong. Well that's easy: He's not Katharine McPhee. I know who I voted for, but you guys made a mistake. Sorry folks, but Taylor has been erased from Idol Histroy and all you 'Hick' voters can praise him all you want, but I've been a Katharine Fan for forever, and seeing a performance like THIS just reaffirms who the Real Winner is of Idol 5. Now, I love 'Across the Universe.' And I love Jim Sturgess even more. But Katharine made this song so ethereal and sound almost 'other-worldly.' It was flawfless. Oh God, it was beautiful. OH MY GOD. I was scared she'd perform one of those overly Poppy songs from that crap she calls an album (I'm a fan but wasn't too impressed; I think it's the a well-known fact we'd all prefer Katharine with classics). I remember seeing Jim sing this to Evan Rachel Woods nipple, and I can honestly say that both stand on their own two feet as REALLY good versions of a really good Beatles song. And damn it, Katharine looks better everytime I see her. I was expecting greatness, and once again, she surpassed my expectations.

Mar 28, 2008 - I have been an ardent fan of Kat's from the beginning as she had me at "God Bless the Child." I had never voted beforehand and have not voted since her appearance on AI but during her season, I voted every week. I always hoped David Foster would get a hold of her talent; so I think RCA dropping her was the best thing that could have ever happened. This song's ending was so Celine Dion. I loved it. I cannot say enough about her and could go all day with nothing bad to say about her voice.

May 4, 2008 - I love how simple and smooth this performance was. Elegance and class. Her voice just soared and she should definately sing songs like this. And the ending. Classic Kat. I've been a fan of hers since she sang God Bless The Child and I voted for her every single week. She is just getting started to shine like we know she could sing.
