Richard Drew, Associated Press




Last year's "American Idol" finalists are working it harder than any of their predecessors. Taylor Hicks is headlining clubs and casinos. Kellie Pickler is opening for Brad Paisley. Chart-topping Chris Daughtry is gigging all over the place.

Now runner-up Katharine McPhee is hitting the radio-concert circuit -- including KDWB's Star Party Thursday -- to promote her self-titled CD, which was a curveball to "Idol" worshippers. The Californian with the big, Broadway-ready voice gave herself a musical makeover, serving up a collection of dance pop, R&B and pop. Coupled with her new sex-kitten image, the sound suggests she'd be a strong candidate for the Pussycat Dolls' reality show.

We caught up with McPhee to talk about her single ("Over It"), career and "Over the Rainbow." She was much more talkative than champion Hicks was last winter -- and a lot funnier.

Q At Star Party, you'll be on a bill with Bow Wow, Mims, T-Pain, Robin Thicke and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. How do you think you fit in there?

A Maybe I'll need to come up with a different name.

Q What can we expect?

A I'll sing four to five songs. You'll get to know me a little bit more as a personality and as performer. Because on "Idol" you didn't get to see us perform; it was like one two-minute song and then you were finished. This gives you a chance to let the nerves subside.

Q We're not going to hear "Over the Rainbow," I take it.

A No, you're not. I'm sorry.

Q People might look at your album cover and wonder if you'll wear those over-the-knee boots and sweater.

A Oh, yeah. I wear it out all the time. Heh-heh-heh.

Q You had a glamorous image on "Idol." What kind of image are you looking for now?

A It's more about what's in right now. I like little dresses. I still like the long dresses, as well. It's summer so a little bit more cute, sexy. An album cover is really different from what you wear every day. At least this album cover.

Q Your album had a big first week of sales [116,000] and then has slowed down. How do you feel about the reaction so far?

A It's what I predicted it would be with the current single. I don't think it was one of those songs that was going to drive record sales up to crazy numbers. It's a good introduction to the new sound. It wasn't my favorite song off the new record; I'll be candid about that. More important, I'm really excited about the next single, "Love Story."

Q There are a lot of different musical styles on the album. What were you trying to do?

A My initial approach for the record was to have it in the vein of "Love Story,"Not Ur Girl,"We've Got Each Other." Then a few ballads made it on. There are a lot of politics that go on with the first record and a lot of things that you don't think you have control over, and then later you realize, "Oh, I had a little bit more control than I thought." ... I think it'll be a little more my way on the second record.

Q Your album hasn't been a blockbuster and neither has Taylor Hicks'. How do you feel about that?

A I think the record industry is in a weird place right now. Considering that Taylor didn't have anything on the radio, he's done pretty well for himself. I have to say I'm very satisfied where I am right now. Coming off a show where everything happens so fast and you rise to the top so quickly, [it's good] being able to kind of be on the other side now and see how other artists have to start out. I can certainly say now that I've had to do things to try to work my way to the top; it wasn't just all handed to me. I kind of appreciate this way my music is evolving. We have three more singles to go. As far as sales go, I don't pay attention to the weekly reports nor do I want to know about them.

Q You have said that "American Idol" saved your life. What did you mean by that?

A I was able to be more focused on my career and the possibilities of what could happen as opposed to an eating disorder.

Q Was being runner-up a blessing or a curse?

A Everything has been a blessing. Chris will tell you that being fourth is a blessing -- he's doing great. We're all doing great in our own way. We're all hitting different markets. If I had won, I'd probably be in the same situation right now. That's fine with me.

Q What did you think on Tyra Banks' show in February, when she grabbed your breast to determine if it was real?

A Well, she asked me. It was just a fun, cute little show. I didn't realize that people would make such a big deal about it. That's how I [am] with my girlfriends -- I'm really playful and fun. I was just having her help me clarify a rumor.

Q You appeared on the sitcom "Ugly Betty." What's your future with acting and dancing?

A I'm taking ballet -- just kidding! I'm not like: "Oh, the door's open; I have to get into a movie." I'd rather take some time to find the perfect project than rush into something.

Idol Articles IdolHeadEd writes

You can slice it any way you want but what should have been multi Platinum CD for Kat, was a flop. Why or how did this happen? This is only my opinion and there are few facts to back it up but I think you'll agree, it seems logical.Here are my thoughts on that and a few other things gone awry.


You know things weren’t for going to well for Katharine when Kellie Pickler, 6th place finishing Country singer, is outselling her almost 2 to 1. Kellie did get a head start on Kat and she does have her second video out already, but at this stage Katharine should be so far ahead of Kellie, she’d need GPS to find her.

What went wrong? Well this, I believe, is what went wrong. Contrary to popular belief, the artist has a massive amount of decision in what goes on their CD when RCA signs them. The winner does not have quite as much freedom, but the rest do. This season a record 4 Idols were signed by 19/RCA; Taylor of course, Kat, Chris, and Kellie. In what should have been a route for Kat, she is dragging the bottom.

From what I read, Clive had Kat listen to numerous ballads for her CD. But after listening and listening, she decided to go a totally different direction; R&B. R&B? Never mind that she never showed a hint of this on the show. Most of her fans, count me as one, were anticipating “Over the Rainbow” and got “Open Toes”.

Now before I go any further let me state for the record, at first I did not like this CD at all save a couple songs. But I felt obligated as a hard core fan to give it a chance. And the more I listened the more I liked it. It is now to the point I not only do I like it, I love and appreciate it, and it’s probably my 3rd or 4th favorite Idol CD ever. The shear mastery of her singing is a sight (and sound) to behold. Would I buy another CD like this from Kat? Without question. Will I wait for a CD full of ballads like “Ordinary World”? I salivate at the thought.

But I digress. Only Kat’s hardcore fans were willing to give it a try. The casual fans heard the first few songs on YouTube and online and said, as AOL does when you log off “GoodBye!” Clive being the wise old man he is, even though sometimes it seems like he’s in his own world, was skeptical enough of this CD he had two songs “Dangerous” and “Love is…” put on a special CD marketed through WalMart to ease America and her fans into the “New” Katharine. They then let “Open Toes” and a few more I can’t remember “find” their way on YouTube. If you go back and read the comments, the bad well outweighed the good.

My guess is that Clive thought he might be able to make this CD sell or I do believe he would have lowered the boom. The current scuffle Clive is going through with Kelly on her new CD, has me a bit worried for Kelly. Because as senile as Clive seems sometimes, like I said earlier, he knows what he is doing. As an example, Kelly’s new song “Never Again” is not one of my faves but more importantly, one of my good friends who is a Kelly freak, simply can not stand it. And he vows if the CD is all like this he will not buy it. But then again, Kelly is at a point where she gets what she wants. But as in Chris’s song “Home” “….Be careful what you wish for…..”

But back to Kat. She is such a talent, that Clive, I believe, was willing, it seems without much of a fight, to let her have her way. There are 4 ballads on this CD but only one, in my opinion, is truly Katharine, and that’s “Ordinary World”. A CD chocked full of numbers like this and we would have had a Chris/Kat fight in CD sales. In other words, we would have gotten the final we were looking for at last season’s end. And personally, I think Kat would have won hands down as Clay did over Ruben.

Thus arises a problem. Even leaking songs from the CD, didn’t help it catch on. And if you go back and think, no Idol ever got this benefit. And no matter how much parading of Kat on TV, and there was a lot of it. (I was happy for it).it didn’t seem to help. Kat even got to be the first person ever to sing live in the Rose Bowl Parade. There was every opportunity to make this CD platinum. What could have helped at least a little was that extra Idol finale push. And as we know that never happened. It just wasn’t to be. You see the issue here was, fans of the show saw the ads for a Porsche and got a Fiat. Not that a Fiat won’t get you where your going but it ain’t nothing like a Porsche. And a lot of fans wanted that Porsche and didn’t even want to test drive the Fiat.

“Over it” was not enough to convince them otherwise. Will “Love Story”? I’m thinking ……..no. I do hope she gets another go at it and I feel Clive believes in her enough to give her that chance. The thing is, the CD has to be 3 things; well produced, great songs, and last but not least, what you’d expect it to be. That is exactly why Carrie Underwood has sold over 5.6 million copies of her debut CD. And you can bet Carrie’s 2nd CD will sell about 1 million the first week especially if they market it with a great first single.

On a slightly different subject but sorta the same. A couple of weeks ago Kat was reported as saying she really didn’t like “Over it” and she could now say that because its time had come and gone. While this is a minor thing it could end up being a major thing. What is someone to think about buying a CD when the artist herself disses it? Again not major but this is the kind of thing she shouldn’t be saying. Like her political views (which I’ll get to in a minute) you can think it but don’t say it. It sounds like you are trying to make excuses why the CD isn’t doing well.

Next we get to movie parts. From what I’ve read and heard Kat was up for a couple of roles with major film studios yet turned them down because she was waiting to get a major role or starring role. So now she will be starring in the dark romantic comedy “The Last Caller”. So great. She got her starring role. But with the film having a budget of 5-8 million dollars this could be one we never get to see unless DVD comes calling. It could very well be a great film but just like a good book, if it’s put in a drawer and not read ……well. My feeling is she should have taken the minor roles with major studios first. This would have, I’m sure, led to bigger starring roles. If say this film does make it to a theatre near you and is terrible or a flop, I’m thinking the studios will be more hesitant to use her in the future. Whereas if she is in a major movie with a minor role and the movie flops it won’t be on her. Just my dumb opinion. So here’s hoping “The Last Caller” won’t be Kat’s last call.

Now last but certainly not least. I started this over on KatharineFans.com and am finishing it here. This past week Kat was flanking Hilary Clinton at her “Club 44” gathering in Wash. DC. Club 44 is the name given to this event meaning the 44th prez. For starters Katharine was embarrassed on the radio before she even got to sing on stage. But was even more embarrassed when she sang. The crowd was not on her side. And I don’t know why anyone ever thought that group would be. This is about the same group that hates American Idol. But as I said over on KatFans, this is the worst thing anyone starting out their career could do. It is difficult enough to withstand airing you political views when you are an established artist. Ask The Dixie Chicks and Babs.

For Kat, fan aggregation is absolutely necessary. This was exactly the opposite. It was a major, major mistake to participate in this rally. Two things you should keep to yourself when starting a career in the public eye or really even maintaining one, except of course politics, is never let your political affiliation or religious beliefs be known to anyone but you. That’s kinda why we still have those curtains up at the polls. You not only risk alienating ½ of your fans you could very well piss off half of the other half.

Politics are personal as is religion. That’s why they say, and for good reason, “Don’t talk politics or religion amongst friends and neighbors or soon you’ll have neither”. It doesn’t matter whether Kat did this for Hilary or Rudy, it will have the same effect. Someone on KatFans actually said “And yes, if it had been for any Republican instead, I would have been disgusted and would definitely have stopped being a fan.” See what I mean. This is supposed to be a real fan here. Not realizing what she did, she is making my point dead on with that statement. This is why you just don’t do it. And until I start doing political commentary no one will ever know my political or religious views and I’m not even any kind of big-time.

So has it been a year of Bad Decisions, Bad Guidance or Bad Luck? I think that it shouldn’t be hard to figure out by now. I just hope the bad decisions stop now. Oooops! I gave it away.
