'American Idol': Katharine McPhee vs. 'Chuck's' Zachary Levi
Former "American Idol" runner-up Katharine McPhee has released a new version of her single "Terrified" with a somewhat unlikely duet partner: "Chuck" star Zachary Levi.The video for their collaboration was released Friday (May 7), and while it doesn't sound all that different from the song as it appears on her album "Unbroken" (she did that version with Jason Reeves). What's impressive, though, is that Levi pretty much holds his own with her. He's got a pretty good singer-songwriter voice, to our ears (maybe that's in the new Intersect?).
So that's at least four versions of the song we've heard to date: McPhee's original, the one that Didi Benami performed during "American Idol's" Hollywood round, "Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi's performance on "Lopez Tonight" a few weeks ago and now this one.
Watch the video below. What do you think of Levi's singing chops?

OMG!!! I Just Love the song!!! and the video but i didn't know " Chuck " Zachary Levi Could Sing!!! They Sound So Good Together!! im so surprise, He's Got A Great Voice, And so Does Kat I LOVE HER VOICE!!! I See Chuck on Monday's.
That song in soooo awful, like really, really bad, but I'd love anything Zach had a part of and liked his slightly rough voice. I just wish he would of put his talents on a song worth singing.
If you want to read a very controversial Chuck piece - check this out.
the writer argues it's time to pull the plug on Chuck - after three years of average ratings - what do you think?

Wow...That was surprising all around lol...It probably is my favorite version so far. Who knew "Chuck" could sing like that. Sounded A-lot better than some of the top 12 on American Idol this year.....lol
Just another GOOD reason to LOVE CHUCK. It is THE BEST THING ON TV next to HOUSE. I first saw him in BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE 2. I knew he would do GREAT THINGS!! CHUCK ME any time!!!
Impressive. Zachary Levi is so hot! What a talent!
WOW - She sounds GREAT - Am surprised she didn't win - And Zach Levy can sing..?? Another WOW - and he sounds good. Really like him in CHUCK. Am gonna search for more of Kat McPhee - love her voice.
Wondering, was the brunette in the video Kat's sister? She looks familiar from being in the AI audience.
