Come on all you Kat fans, start following her on twitter so we can get her follower numbers up into the hundreds of thousands. She's @katharinemcphee and she deserves a lot more followers. Then we can all encourage her to tweet us daily about her day to day experiences of shooting the SMASH series. She tweeted yesterday that shooting starts right after Labor Day weekend. LET'S HIT TWITTER WITH SOME MCPHEEVER!!!!
@mybeautifulbailey Because Carrie is a country girl ... and in America being a country singer is very much being in sync with this conservative american family very judgemental mentality of all that is wrong or imoral bla bla bla and americans "love" that hypocrisy. No wonder Carrie has sold millions of records just in the US due to the strong popularity of country music ... Katharine regardless all of her talent ... is seen as vulgar pop singer like so many others. Sad but that's true ...
@Fabian81 Being pop is no way in hinderance to becoming a star and connecting to the public. Look at Kelly Clarkson. Pop music is way more popular and mainstream than country music will ever be so Carrie being a country singer actually was a disadvantage she had as opposed to a pop singer. Yet, she's taken the music industry by a storm racking up millions and millions of albums sold. Look at Kellie Pickler, she sings country music as well, well, where are her millions?
@countrymusicCC The pop music world is historically less loyal than the country crowd. It's not easy for a country artist to also be a pop artist, but it's a lot easier for a country artist to be a successful country artist than it is for a purely pop artist, with no niche to fall back on, to be a successful pop artist.
@nothlithawk777 pop fans may be less loyal to the artist than that of country fans but country artists need to build up a fan base just like any artist. building up a fan base and being successful in the genre is just a difficult, if not more difficult than becoming a pop artist as country fans are quite particular. Being a country artist does not make it easier at all. There has been quite a few country artists on AI, where are they now? Maybe Scotty can make it but that's about it.
@countrymusicCC I believe a girl named CARRIE UNDERWOOD " MADE IT"...BUT otherwise I agree. Katharine McPHEE is one of the best ever on AI,although she wasn't as good then as she is now. I think she actually sings better as a brunette ... maybe it's the confidence level...
@mybeautifulbailey Look for Katharine to get "bigger" very soon. She is starring in NBC's highly anticipated tv musical, SMASH, beginning Februrary 2012 after "The Voice" ! She has also signed a new record deal with Columbia Records and is gathering/writing material for a new album!
@RNLee so true. She is one of few that can sing live and her songs actually have strong meanings unlike the ones that you hear every day on the radio.
One of the biggest mistakes America has made on American Idol, imagine where she would be right now had she won, it's taking too long for her to reach stardom. Then again it doesn't help when her competition is Leona Lewis and Carrie Underwood.
are all the good idol singers supposed to include a track with something to do with "home" so they can use it for the idol send offs? if its like that why didnt they use kat's song...she's so amazing
I think in certain way the singles of her first album opened her the way on music industry. I know that some people think that they were a bunch of crap(e.g.Love story) but they were catchy and even though I prefer tha current Katharine , I think all those singles were necessary because we have to accept that america doesn't have exactly a good taste in music, and to become a masive artist she needed all that last production.
@angel0634 I AGREE 100% as much as i love Katharine McPhee, i still Carrie and Jennifer were so much better...Personal opinion...they're just so much better live :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the heel kick defines her. rock out on your next album, this was a decent pop album but you can come so much stronger! all the best, I see great things for you
first off. i totally met her. and shes an amazing person. sooo sweet. and shes even more gorgeous in person.
sencondly. her voice is like flawless. she has 1 of the best voices ive ever heard & 1 of the most pleasant voices to listen to. shes absolutely amazing.
her voice sounds amazing but its hard to watch her & listen to her at the same time. I dont see any emotional connection to her songs or perhaps her voice is so good it appears effortless, still I like her now better than when she was on Idol.
Every time I read one of those "no emotional connection" comments I wonder if we're listening to the same performance. I think she's best on songs she DOES feel her own emotional connection with, like this one, Me, and Mary Jane for instance. When she feels it, she makes us feel it. Well, me anyway.
Im not speaking against her by any means, shes out there doing her thing, more power to her. I just wasnt connected to her on Idol so I was surprised to have become a fan late in the game. Like I said, shes doing things big, & good for her.
Wow. This is one of my favorite performances by Katherine McPhee. Simply amazing! Love her!

RCA has a history of mismanaging idol contestants by overproducing albums. Verve is completely different though and
Had it All did better than anything on the first album. The new album opened at #27 but should move up. Hopefuly 'Home'
can make it ot a Best of album

This song was the best on the album, don't understand why they never released this as a single instead of the crap they chose (Love Story).
I agree with people who say they like her now better than when she was on AI.
