Great job team making it to the next page ;)
"Break" would be amazing live. That song was kind of a sleeper for me when the album came out but I actually went out of my way yesterday just to listen to that track.
Looking back, "Stranger Than Fiction" is the only track I don't love.

Don't forget Kat's on this Thursday on Idol. So excited! There's a TV spot going around that features Kelly, Carrie and Kat as Idol Homecomings this season. Queen! BTW, Kat appeared twice on Billboard's Top 100 Idol performances (at #12 with Black Horse and The Cherry Tree and at #96 with Somewhere over the Rainbow). That SOTR ranking is pretty nuts! www.billboard.com/photos/7256317/top-100-american-idol-live-performances-of-all-time/6

The fact is that Kelly, Carrie, JHud and Katharine are the the only remaining "stars" produced from Idol I would argue that Daughtry is still somewhat relevant, as well as Kellie Pickler, although both of their influences have been diminishing lately Kat performing Black Horse really made that song a hit

That should have been in the top 10 tbh. (What is Bo Bice doing there?) If they had switched the two songs' placements, I might have been okay. While she made "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" a hit for KT Tunstall, it was still forgettable in comparison to the sheer perfection of "Over the Rainbow."

Who in the world made that ranking? "BH&tCT" shouldn't even be on there and "SOtR" should be in the top 15.

If a 2nd Kat performance was to be in there, it should have totally be this one:

She sounded great! That note at the end was perfection.
Wasn't as big a fan of the arrangement though vs. when she sang it on the show in 2006.

Kat was great last night and she looked stunning. I'm glad she came back. She has always been one of my favorite idols (sucks she lost to one of the worst winners) I love me some OPEN TOES!

While she made "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" a hit for KT Tunstall, it was still forgettable in comparison to the sheer perfection of "Over the Rainbow." Waiiiiiit a minute, now! While I do agree that OTR should have been much higher, Bo's In a Dream absolutely belongs in the top 10. I actually remember some avid Idol watchers...well, okay, probably a bunch of Taylor Hicks fans being put off by OTR at the time because it was a judge's pick from Simon and the way it was staged was so clearly a blatant page taken from both Bo's a capella performance and Fantasia sitting on the floor for Summertime. Simon is nothing if not great at duplicating previous successes. I'm going to guess whoever made this list is one of those Taylor Hicks fans lol. Seriously though, In a Dream is one of those early performances that set the bar of expectation for later contestants. If there were any performance in the top 10 of that list that I'd replace with OTR, it would be either Joshua Ledet (and his was a fantastic performance, I just don't know if I would rank it in the top 10 out of fifteen entire seasons) or Carrie's Alone (no shade but Carrie wasn't that remarkable as an actual contestant, she just became really awesome after she won but no one wants to be that person who lowballs her ranking because you'll get dragged for it). I'm not terribly crazy about the list as a whole because there are several performances that I think are ranked too low, and they offer no reasoning as to how they calculated this list other than pulling it out of a random staff writer's arse.

O. M. G. those vocals on SOTR this past week. My jaw literally dropped and I stood up to applaud as if I were there. I actually forgot what an amazing singer she is.

She's my favorite non winner EVER. She's absolutely perfection. She never over sings and always stays in key. Gosh I wish she was a bigger star.

She's said she's not really interested in Broadway, but she would be an incredible performer there.

She looked great the other night and I ended up buying her version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on iTunes. Love it and love her voice!

Her voice wasn't at her absolute best but it was still a wonderful moment overall. Very happy for her! She's also coming back for the Idol finale for some group medley, I think.

I think that's best voice her voice has ever sounded. She sounded clear and hit all the notes.

I want to see Kat and Elliott Yamin perform a number on the Idol finale. They were my top 2 back in the day, I would have been okay Kat losing to him really. Don't hate Hicks though, just not a fan I enjoy watching her in Scorpion more than Smash even though she was singing in Smash, that show didn't click with me, Scorpion is so fun and display Kat's charisma better

f**k I need to see her live! Edit: since we're posting best vocals here's mine. I've been playing it since the debut days. I remember when this came out in 2007! Her cover of "Me" by Paula Cole.

Her voice is so powerful, and she was so comfortable up on that stage. It was a much better arrangement than the one she chose for Idol last week too.

Glad you guys loved that SOTR performance. It really might be her all time best live performance. Her voice and confidence were on fire during that concert. There's some other great videos on YT of it.
