Katharine McPhee sings ‘Simply the best, better than Karen Bass’ to Spencer Pratt
Katharine McPhee performed at a fundraising event at the home of her and David Foster in Brentwood, California. Footage from the backyard showed a karaoke-style setup with Foster playing keyboard as she sang Tina Turner’s “The Best,” turning it into a playful political twist by altering the lyrics to reference Los Angeles mayoral candidates Karen Bass and city council member Nithya Raman; she even briefly mis-sang “Cynthia Raman” and laughed it off. Spencer Pratt, who is running against Bass and Raman, was a major figure at the event, wich reportedly included wealthy donors, influencers, and Hollywood figures. The Los Angeles mayoral primary is scheduled for June 2.

But what’s grabbing everyone’s attention: McPhee’s variation on the lyrics.
As she swayed around the backyard, videos showed her singing, “You’re simply the best, better than Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.”
Erik Telford, senior vice president of public affairs at the Commonwealth Foundation, posted a video on X, and said McPhee turned the song into a “crowd anthem.”
Pratt is running against Democrats Karen Bass and Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Bass is the city’s current mayor, and Raman is a city council member.
At one point, when McPhee repeated the chorus, she accidentally said, “Cynthia Raman.” She quickly turned to Pratt and said, “I called her Cynthia,” which drew laughter from the guests. Pratt shrugged as if he didn’t notice the mistake.
The fundraiser included wealthy donors, influencers, and Hollywood figures, according to Vanity Fair.
