Kate is featured in the gag reel (a whole bunch of goof up) of One Tree Hill Season 5 in a few places. First, in the scene with K-fed saying he is going to do things “his way” (she is in the background), next is the scene of her, Peyton and the creepy manager guy from LA (Kate has lines here but you can’t see her face, just her hair), and finally they show a couple goofs from the library episode (Kate is in the background). Check it out below, if you are a fan of One Tree Hill you will definitely enjoy this!

As most of you know, I am the owner of Lauren Conrad Online so I just wanted to mention to you all that Kate’s song “One Way or Another” was played from 11:08-11:30 in the season four premiere of The Hills on MTV last night. If you are a fan of the Hills, check out episode on MTV.com!

For fans of new pop singer-songwriter Kate Voegele, it’s good she has double-jointed shoulders.

“I love the Olympics. … I’ve had such a fun time watching them all week. I love the gymnastics. When I was a kid I always wanted to do that,” the 20-year-old said during a day off from her “Back 2 School Tour” in Boise, Idaho.

“I’m double-jointed in my shoulders though, so they were like, no, you could never do that unless you had some sort of surgery. So I was so bummed out. But no, I don’t think it was for me at the end of the day.

“I’m more on the artistic side of things.”

Voegele still has managed to be a part of Beijing’s Olympic games.

Her song, “Lift Me Up,” is featured on Team USA’s Olympic soundtrack.

“That’s been amazing. It’s so cool for me to be a part of that,” she said, saying she wrote the song overnight beginning at midnight when her manager told her they needed a song the next morning.

But writing songs is what Voegele does best. She released her debut CD, “Don’t Look Away,” on MySpace/Interscope Records, in 2007. And she’s trying to prove pop music can have integrity and weight, despite popular belief.

“I love acoustic music, and I like really like raw, organic stuff the best, I think, more than stuff that’s super produced. But I think for me, I also enjoy the art of writing a pop song — writing pop music that also has a lot of sincerity. Because I think pop music can be poetic.

“People a lot of times write it off as, oh you know, it’s all just very surfacey and bubble gum, and it can be that, too. … (But) I really love writing stuff that’s a little bit less produced and it’s a little bit more kind of channels some of my influences — Carole King, James Taylor, Patty Griffin.”

Understanding there is a plethora of female singer-songwriters and pop-celebrity stars, Voegele believes she’s found a little comfy place in the middle of all that.

“I really think that my main goal with my music is to reach people lyrically and basically through the combination of a great melody and a lyric that really speaks to somebody,” she said.

Her music is featured on TV shows such as “One Tree Hill,” in which she also guest stars as a recurring character. She will return for the sixth season to air before Christmas.

Her acting is mostly a way to market her music. Voegele says she is going to stick with music.

Her tour stop on Tuesday at The Intersection will feature a full band, with which she’ll play most, if not all, her album’s tracks plus an Alanis Morissette cover.

“We try to take it a more folk, indie route. It’s very cool. It’s like totally unexpected,” she said.

No matter where this tour or her TV spotlight takes her, Voegele says she’ll always be weirded-out be the celebrity pedestal thing which she finds “ridiculous.”

Everyone’s just people. And that’s what you realize,” she said.

“I’m just somebody who’s lucky enough to get to make a career out of something I love to do. Other than that, the whole celebrity thing is kind of bizarre to me.

I just wanted to thank everyone out there for your prayers, kind words, and encouragement these past few days. My grandfather’s memorial service was beautiful and a real tribute to his kind and gentle spirit.

I was honored when my grandmother asked me to sing “Lift Me Up” at the service. This song will always serve as a reminder of my grandpa to me now. =) Many of you have asked for the lyrics to this song so I have posted them below.

I flew back to Seattle last night in time to play my show and the audience was amazing. We are on our way to Salt Lake City now and so excited for the rest of this tour. Hope to see you at a show!

Thanks again! It means more than you know…

Lift Me Up

This road is anything but simple,
Twisted like a riddle, I’ve seen High, I’ve seen low.
So loud, the voices over my doubts,
Telling me to give up, pack up, leave town.
Even so I had to believe, Impossible means nothing to me,

Can you lift me up?
Turn the ashes into flames,
I have overcome more than words can ever say,
I’ve been given hope that there’s a light on up the hall,
And a day will come when the fight is won,
I think that day had just begun.

Somewhere, everybody starts there,
Counting on a small prayer, lost in a nightmare.
You’re here, suddenly it’s so clear,
The struggle through the long years,
It’s hard for me to outrun my fears.
But everything that’s worth having,
Comes with trials worth withstanding.

Can you lift me up?
Turn the ashes into flames,
I have overcome more than words can ever say,
I’ve been given hope that there’s a light on up the hall,
And a day will come when the fight is won,
And I think that day has just begun.

Oh lift me up, Oh lift me up,
Oh lift me up, Oh lift me up,

Down and out is overrated,
I need to be elevated,
Looking up is not enough,
I would rather rise above, Oh , Oh , Oh.

Chorus
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up.

- Kate

Hey Everyone,

I got some very sad news that my grandpa passed away suddenly this weekend and I had to fly home for his memorial service which is being held in Ohio tomorrow morning. I had to cancel my show in Portland tonight and I apologize to anyone who bought tickets. He was a wonderful sweet man and I am going to miss him terribly. Thank you for understanding and for all of your continued support.

Kate
