Snap judgment: Katharine McPhee's 'Love Story' video

Lovingit Sun, Aug 19, 2007 at 12:14 AM EST

FLOP FLOP FLOP...when will people realize everything she touches is cursed to fail. She is stinking up the movie screens now? Geez, porn is where she belongs.

TaTa Sat, Aug 4, 2007 at 12:09 AM EST

Ok, McPhans, go ahead and cry, it's ok. Her album and especially this single, Love Story, will go down in Idol history as a major flop. That video reeks of sheer desperation. McPerverts,the old farts, gets stroked by drooling over a cheaply made video and half naked Mcphee on a magazine cover. Have no sympathy for Mcphans,now pass the kleenex and order a large supply of Depends for the old, McPervert gang. Third single, No,don't think so.

I don't like the video at all. It does nothing for the song, although there's not much that can be done for this song or any on Kat's CD. From what I hear, the sales have been so low that there will not be another album by Kat.

dani Wed, Aug 1, 2007 at 01:09 AM EST

Wow is all I can say. I read through alot of these posts and I just can't believe how mean some of you are. Alot of the posts make no sense to me at all and it is obvious there is some kind of sick battle being waged...I think almost all of the posts should just be deleted by a mod because they are so irrelevant to the topic. Now...back to what this is supposed to be about, Kat's new video. I love it! I am not an expert by any stretch but I loved the energy and it made the song even more enjoyable for me. The only thing I don't care for is how fast the scenes change, I think the shots with her wearing the beret could have been cut and more time spent focusing on the dancing would have been better. But all in all, I love the song and the video. I am an admitted fan of Katharine and far from being shallow Kat is generous and kind-hearted and a very talented young woman. I feel sad that all of these horrible things are being said about her in the name of being a "faithful" fan of whoever.

STEFAN Fri, Jul 27, 2007 at 06:17 PM EST

She should of released OPEN TOES

BBOO Fri, Jul 27, 2007 at 01:38 PM EST

LOVE STORY was an O.K song when I first heard it on her album. NOW!!!! I think it is awesome because of the video. It's a sizzleing hot summer video WOW!!! On July 24th the song debuted on I-tunes pop @ #84. It is sOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better THAN over it!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff Fri, Jul 27, 2007 at 12:07 AM EST

Katharine has an awesome voice, its a shame she chose songs that do not focus on her vocal ability. Her cover of 'Me' was fantastic. She should sing more balads and soft hits.

Giveitarest Mon, Jul 23, 2007 at 11:15 PM EST

Blah blah blah blah blah. She should just give it up already. Can't sing for crap!

hahahaha Mon, Jul 16, 2007 at 08:22 AM EST

This blog is funny.

I recommend saving this bookmark, and reading it again in a few years. You'll be embarrassed by how juvenile you guys sound.

It's just pop music guys, it's not a life-changing world event.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 11:11 PM EST

Zippit, If you're talking about Nav, then you should know that she's no longer there anymore, because she was never a real fan to begin with, and I don't really care what she thinks. If it's not her, then why don't you tell me who you're talking about, even though I know you can't because you're nothing but a LIAR. No Chris fan is going to go tell some psycho SP'er that they despise me. You're an idiot for even thinking that I would believe your lies.

Yum Is Here Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 11:09 PM EST

That's right, no mods on Splash, that drives the AHP up the wall because they want to censor anyone who doesn't like Taylor, and they no longer can do that. Now they're faced with the reality that tons of people can't stand him or the nursing home groupies that stalk him at every Bingo hall. Nothing any of you can do about it, so get used to me, Jovi and the many other people speaking our minds every chance we get.

Yum Is Here Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 11:06 PM EST

Oh, more lies being posted. Let me guess Zippit would be Mikki, or one of the other old maids from the AHP. Anyone under 400 lbs classifies as a "twerp" in hag standards. I'm far from a twerp being 6ft tall, and I'll take Kat's opinion of me over some 300+ pound old heffer sitting at a broken down desk in her trailer near a shadeless lamp lol.

Zippit Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 10:34 PM EST

Jovi -- Why don't you go into your grungy Street Team and ask the Chrolls their honest opinion of you. Guaranteed, there will be some to tell you they despise you. If they don't they're outright liars, because I know who they are.

fredric Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 09:54 PM EST

I don't know. I actually like the song much better than her first single. I'm not sure why she seems to be such a polarizing figure - it's a shame because she has talent.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 09:34 PM EST

shut up, Let's try this one more time, and maybe this time you might actually comprehend what I'm saying. I am NOT lying about anything, and since you're such an idiot, and keep insisting that I am, I went and got some of the posts numbers from Splash to prove what a LIAR you and your friends are. Everything started over there because you psycho's thought that someone using the sn "compared to what" was me, because you all just assume that everytime something negative gets said about Taylor that it's got to be one of four people saying it, but you're wrong. There's a lot of people that don't like Taylor, and hate the way you psychos have treated people, so you better accept that. Have a look at posts #88,97,99,103,104,108,109,168 to see just a few of the times that SP'ers were bashing Chris and US before we even knew about the article. Yum's first post was #997, and mine was #991, so guess who the LIAR is? It's YOU! Go back to your losers board and stay there!

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 09:10 PM EST

Zippit, Why don't you stop lying. I have NEVER been banned on AI for bashing, because all I ever did was give my OPINION about Taylor, and you SP'ers couldn't handle it because you can't accept any opinion about him that's not 100% positive, and you have to attack anyone that says something that you psycho's don't agree with but you BETTER get used to seeing more and more negative posts about Taylor, because Everyone but you delusional SP'ers knows that he's nothing but a FAILURE, and we're all laughing at him and you. I'm guessing from your post that you're one of the stalker SP'ers that have nothing better to do than dig through pages of posts in out chat thread everyday, so you can find posts to report, and make up LIOES about. Why don't you and your fellow STALKERS get a life.

And about our fanbases we're part of, that's another LIE. They don't hate us, no matter what you've got "in writing".

shutup Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 08:33 PM EST

You are both liars. Simple as that. I went back and looked at the first posts , and there was no mention of Chris until two whackos came over and started bashing Taylor. That's when everything started, you lying scumbags. Typical for you two to twist everything and lie. Now it's been taken over completely by all you lunatics. And dumb ass yum, I never said I didn't read at Splash, I stopped reading because you all make me sick, and I certainly never posted there. You also are liars concerning trolling and spying on sites of someone you hate just to steal and bash. I will say anything I like as well psycho. I'm done arguing with whackos, so now you have another place to repeat yourselves over and over with the same hateful bashing. You get off on it. That's pretty sick. People getting off on relentlessly bashing someone who has never done anything to them. Does anyone you know miss you since all you do is sit on your asses in front of computers day and night? I'd guess not. Ugh.

Zippit Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 08:21 PM EST

Jovi and Yum are both mentally deranged. They've been deactivated numerous times on the AI boards for bashing people,and Jovi has been deactivated at least four times this past week. Since there's no moderator at Splash, they continually bash Taylor and the SP over and over again -- saying the same old thing, like a broken record. Don't say the SP has never seen Yum, because we have. You're a little twitty twerp, who doesn't have a life other than the Internet -- all night long and then goes to bed around 6:00 AM, and Jovi is part of this too. Even your own fanbase can't stand either one of you, and that is in writing.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 07:21 PM EST

yum's jellus, Why don't you learn how to read. Yum never said he didn't post on Splash, you idiot, he said that he only posted on there AFTER the SP had been bashing Chris and him for days, so THEY'RE the ones who started it, and are now getting what they deserve. We never even knew about the website until someone finally posted the link on AI, and then we saw what was said about us, and Chris, and that's when we posted to defend ourselves, just like Yum said, and he is NOT a liar.
Now can you comprehend that, or does it need to be said in an even simpler way?

yum's jellus Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 07:10 PM EST

hahahahahahahahahahahah pathetic little thing and quite the liar too. You posted over there with your own name and with other names also, you lying little freak

Yum Is Here Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 06:34 PM EST

Hmm, "shut up", how would you know any of what's been posted on the Taylor Splash article unless you've been on there yourself? Seems to me you're one of Steph's Chroll Patroller's who stalk Chris fans every corner of the web. Now I guess it was time to troll a Kat article.

Jovi and myself were accused of posting on that Taylor Splash srticle LONG before either of us ever did, and it was for that reason alone either of us commented in the first place. Now it seems you can't handle what's being said. You might want to heed your advice and shut up yourself, because you're just enticing more malice toward the AHP. I know that they're very cowardly and operate in the shadows, and wouldn't dare post here or anywhere else using their real SN'S.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 06:05 PM EST

shut up, DON'T tell me what I can and can't say, because I'm not listening to a word an idiot like you says. I'll say whatever I want to. And if you're talking about the Splash article about Taylor, anyone looking at it can see that the SP were there bashing Chris for days, AND making false accusations about me and Yum when none of us were even there posting, or even knew about the article, so don't even try to make it sound like we're the ones that started it, because it was you psycho SP'ers that did, and now you're just upset that we won't back down, but that's your own fault. If you can't handle it then don't start anything with us. Like I said before, go back to your LOSER board, where you belong. I bet you're even part of the Chroll Patrol team, that spends their time trying to find ways to bash Chris and his fans.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 05:52 PM EST

shut up,I'll tell you to BACK OFF as many time as I want, and there's nothing you can do about it.Why don't you take your own advice and SHUT UP because no one wants to hear anything you're saying.You "claim" that you're not one of the usual SP stalkers, yet you keep saying the same things they say about us over and over again, and it gets kind of old. I guess you can't think up any new lies to say, because that would require intellegence which all of you SP'ers are severely lacking.
And about what I said about Taylor, what else is there to say about him? The words LOSER and FAILURE sum it all up really well, and until you and your psycho friends learn to accept the truth about what's happening in the REAL WORLD, and STOP making up your stupid conspiracy theories and trying to make it sound like Daughtry are not the success that everyone but you idiots KNOW that they are, then I will keep saying those same things over and over because none of you seem to be comprehending what I said.

shutup Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 05:45 PM EST

Also, DO NOT tell me to stop talking about someone who will not shut up about us. I will talk about him as much as I like. As I said, you hardly scare me, you're a freaking joke. Going on Chris and Kat articles to bash? What loser group showed up on an article about Taylor immediately, to bash him and make up outright lies about him? Um...that would be you. I refuse to even go over there, you and your fellow whackos are so disgustingly cruel. I certainly never spoke to you or freakboy, this is a first for me. Believe me you have NEVER spoken with me. If you're getting it back now from some of the people who respond to you losers over there, tough sh*t. As I told poor little yum, the hate you exhibit is disturbing. You are a very deranged individual.

shut up Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 05:31 PM EST

Listen you twisted, obsessed, hateful, lunatic, I WILL tell you to back off as many times as I like, along with anything else I feel like. You don't scare me. I will not get into anything you say about Taylor, simply because everything you say you have said over and over and over, and it doesn't matter what the hell a hateful whackjob thinks.. Do you ever get tired of being a freaking broken record? You repeat yourself in every post! And another thing you complete idiot, and please try and comprehend this this time, I was defending myself from being called names by your little pet when he was calling the entire SP the same tired names he always does. I don't give a sh*t if the loser didn't mention names, he was still spewing his hate all over us. I haven't bashed any other person who was on Idol. I don't care enough to say anything about them one way or the other. You really need to get over your obsession with someone you hate, it shows in your repetitive posts about him.

Freebird Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 04:17 PM EST

Great video, she looks HOT HOT HOT!!
This girl can sing her butt off too.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 03:58 PM EST

shutup, Don't tell me to back off because you know I'm not going to. You say that you came here because you were being called names, well that's another LIE. I don't see where any names were mentioned, and that's because they weren't. You know that you and your SP psycho friends jump on any article you can about Chris and Kat because you think it somehow makes the LOSER you support look better, but you're wrong about that. Nothing can make that failure look like he's a success because he isn't and never will be so you might as well accept the facts and get used to seeing more and more negative posts about him. And about Yum, he's a much better person than you could ever dream of being so go back to your losers board, and STOP talking about him.

Yum's the man Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 03:10 PM EST

Uh, you wouldn't be responding if you didn't care what Yum had to say.
Let's see you get on stage with Trailure lol. Never gonna happen to any of you. You only wish you could hang with your Idol and get as close as Yum did to his. If Kat didn't want anything to do with YUM, she wouldn't just invite anyone on stage with her dumbasses. By the way, Awesome video, and no jellus Taylor or Elliott fan can take away from just how great Kat and her music is.

shutup Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 02:49 PM EST

I'm finished wasting my time here arguing with a psycho. Go ahead and post another repeat of what you say over and over ad nauseam. I finally had enough and decided to speak up, and it really is pointless. You and the other little freak will never shut up, and will always think you're right, twisting everything in your sick minds. So have at it...talk to yourselves. You will never stop because tou are both lunatics. Not to mention a few other losers you hang with and who are definetly stalkers. You're just sad.

shutup Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 02:36 PM EST

Sper's, As I said before which you can't seem to comprehend, Back the hell off. You have no idea what you are talking about. Again another post with the same diatribe over and over again. You truly are a moron. I came here after I recieved this article as I said. I knew about the little freaks post, and came here to defend myseelf after being called names. If you read my posts dumb ass, you'd see I didn't bash anyone but him....then you after your crap. I came here to bash Kat and Chris. Yeah. Got better things to do on the internet than obsessively ramble on about the same things over and over, about someone I have no interest in. But I will defend myself from being called names when I am informed of it. Try to comprehend this: I have never said a word to either one of you idiots until now..so shut your trap.You say that is a LIE. Shows what a true idiot you are. You know nothing about me so stop trying to act as if you're smart and know all about someone. Clearly, you are not smart.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 02:01 PM EST

Nobody cares,
Actually, you've got that wrong. NO ONE cares about what YOU have to say, so go back to your LOSERS board, so you can talk about the 700 CD's he sold the last two weeks.

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 01:58 PM EST

Wake up, I think that while you're on wiki, you should look up PSYCHO'S, and you'd see a picture of yourself and your fellow SP'ers.
And btw, you've never seen Yum, so stop acting like you have.

Nobody cares Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 01:53 PM EST

I think Kat is a beautiful talented girl. Unfortunately she has a psycho fan named Yum. As much as Yum would like to believe otherwise, NO ONE cares about what he post.

Wake up Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 01:42 PM EST

YumDum before you talk about anyone else's looks you need to look in the mirror. Look up loser nerd in wiki and there you are. If Kat had known all the vile you spew from one board to another, she would have ran for her life. Not that she would really give anyone that looks like you a second thought anywany.

yumandjovirnutcases Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 08:47 AM EST

How nice of you to show up Jovi and defend yum, one screwed up person defending another!!!! Classic, I tell ya, classic!

SP'ers are stalkers Sun, Jul 15, 2007 at 06:39 AM EST

shutup,So you're a Taylor fan who just happened to "recieve" this article about Kat.The truth is that you came here to bash her and Yum, just like your other psycho friends. Your post is nothing but a bunch of lies anyway, which NO ONE believes. Yum did NOT pay to join any of your stupid SP sites.He's got a lot better things to do with his money than to waste it on a site that's nothing but thudding over some LOSER.And as for this article, he brought Taylor's name into it because you SP'ers were here bashing Kat.I guess you can't handle it when someone gives it back to you. And about him "spending every waking hour on the internet", you know that's not true. You try to make it sound like you know so much about him, but the truth is, you don't know anything, so why don't YOU back off. And don't give me this crap about how you've never said anything to us up until now, because that's just another LIE.
Why dont you go thud over Taylors thighs somewhere, and leave Kat and her fans alone.

shutup Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 11:50 PM EST

Sp'ers, I am hardly stalking your bosom buddy. Please. I RECEIVED this article, and was once again treated to his nasty posts...now here you are. I have never said a word to either one of you idiots...until now. Here's what looks more like stalking to me than someone who decides to tell off a demented psycho you moron. Someone who pays to join a site of someone they hate just to steal things and post them elsewhere, someone who spends every waking hour on the freaking internet talking about someone they hate, even when it's about the person they worship, and who shows up everywhere there is any mention of said person just to trash them. I've never done any of those things...unlike other twisted freaks. So back the h*ll off. As for your hateful words about Taylor, who gives a sh*t what you say? Nobody. Nobody cares what deranged losers who can't shut up about this crap, think. You say the same things over and over. It's old, get a life, a job, something.

Jelle Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 07:21 PM EST

Just eye candy..that is all she has to offer. What a bad move in song selection for a follow up single. She should just move on to the next CD and hope for better material. Her voice needs to be front and center and not drowned out.

hairdresser25667/soul patrol Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 06:24 PM EST

KAT IS ONE BEAUTIFUL LADY AND SO PROUD OF HER SHE IS DOING WHAT SHE LOVES. SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND VOICE. NOW TO YUM YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE IF YOU THINK FOR ONE MOMENT THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE WITH HER. LOL

SP'ers are Stalkers Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 03:54 PM EST

One who knows, shutup and the rest of you stalker SP'ers,
Yum is not the one that proffesional help, it's all of you PSYCHO'S that do. You just can't accept the fact that someone doesn't agree with your opinion about Taylor, and isn't afraid to say it, but that doesn't give you the right to stalk and harrass him and post personal info about him every chance you get. In case you haven't noticed, most of the country is laughing at the loser you support, so you better get used to seeing more and more negative remarks about him because he's nothing but a failure. Why don't you go back to your own boards, and stop looking for an excuse to bash Kat, Chris and their fans every chance you get. It shows how jealous you are, and how you'll never get over the fact that they are picking up new fans in the REAL WORLD, while Taylor's career is officially over.

Tay Fan Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 03:36 PM EST

I think Kat has a beautiful voice & is a beautiful woman but this video is not good. Why all the almost porn shots? She needs to respect herself more.

Motion Lotion Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 11:17 AM EST

no pre teen fans (sales) for this X rated video. Kat getting a "quickie" is a dim lit closet. Was there a bedroom in the low budget vid. Same location used for the first video. Awe, keeps those over the hill fans supplied with a good dose of "Motion Lotion". Ahh, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Taylor_Hicks_fan Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 09:39 AM EST

I really love Kat and her new CD. Love story is a great song although it's not my favorite on the cd. She is very beautiful and talented and I wish her a lot of success in her future.

shutup Sat, Jul 14, 2007 at 12:24 AM EST

yumisssupercool, I am a fan of Taylor and am not old, fat or a hag you sick little freak. The hate you exhibit is disturbing. Get help. And if you think someone as beautiful as Katharine, as you put it, would even give a twisted, obsessed, sicko like you the time of day, you may want to get help for that delusion as well. Get off the internet. You are clearly addicted and obsessed with talking about someone you hate, not to mention poor Katharine. She really ought to watch out for you. You are a sick little twit who blames other people for trolling and bashing Katharine and Chris, when you are the one who goes to other sites trolling and spying like the freak you are, looking for ANYTHING to bring back and bash Taylor for. I have neither the time or the inclination to spy and troll on sites that I'm not even a fan of. Like I said get off the internet, seek professional help, then maybe get a freaking job and some sleep.

One who knows Fri, Jul 13, 2007 at 10:05 PM EST

yumissupercool is know on the AI boards as "yumkatyum", and is well know to be one of the biggest bashers on blogs, Splash site and anywhere he can post negatively about Taylor Hicks. He's just a little twerp from Tampa who thinks he's great because he was up on stage with Katharine in Tampa. He's up all night on chat boards and sleeps half the day and had a recent meltdown regarding suicide. He pretends he's a "mister nice guy" when in fact he is a disgusting vulgar nasty slimey scumbag.

I imagine many of the people that are bashing Kat are in fact #4 fans, because they're jealous of Taylor, Kat and Elliott. They cannot get over the fact that Chris is #4.

Fan of Elliott Fri, Jul 13, 2007 at 05:31 PM EST

I don't care much for Wait For You.
Elliott is capable of better. It's kind of a wussy, vanilla song for him.
I wish E would release something with more gusto.

This is a public board for comments and not high school that calls for a debate on the ifs, ands and buts, to explain in detail negetive opinion/s of Mcphee and her many talents. If the truth hurts so be it. Post ur reply in any shape, form or fashion that U choose. You almost sound like Jim in Nashville- another oldie but can talk up a storm. Anyone can refer to the official charts, (Billboard)and medibase,for information on any artist. Sales don't lie and radio play certainly is not happening at the moment for Mcphee, regardless of of the video, Love story was released over a month and half ago and radio has not picked it up. We can always count on seeing Mcphee on another Magazine cover, and holding our breath for a "academy award" winning, performance. Such a lucky girl.

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 10:07 PM EST

Please understand - we Katharine fans are not attacking any and all people who don't like Katharine. Of course express any negative opinions if they are sincerely held and if you can actually explain what it is you don't like in even a semi-intelligent manner. The ones I attack are the demented few who are still angry that Katharine beat Chris and Elliot in Season 5 of AI and they hate her before even listening to her or watching her videos. It does not matter what she does, they will be on these blogs spewing their hate. They start it. We don't. Is there any comparable hate going on with every single Chris and Elliot blog that comes out? These people are mentally ill, how else would you explain it? I think that sincerely think that they can damage her career. All that I try to do is make sure that this is explained for the casual viewer who may have stumbled on one of these websites. We Katharine fans are happy just to enjoy Katharine, we wish the haters would just ignore her, please.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:52 PM EST

Dear esteemed colleagues,

Please accept my deepest apologies for my inarticulate, immature postings. I respect all of your opinions, truly, I do. Although I strongly believe that Katharine McPhee is one of the most visionary artists of our generation, I too can see the merits of other American Idol alumni, such as the esteemed Mr. Taylor Hicks.

Although Mr. Hicks' particular style of music may not entirely be to my taste, I do understand that different people enjoy different styles of music.

I am hoping we can resolve our differences and work together to help increase the record sales and profile of both Ms. McPhee and Mr. Hicks, as their respective messages of getting "over it" and "making us proud" are two valuable lessons that desperately need to be heard by today's wayward youth.

I remain, as always, your humble blog servant.

Best regards,
Yumissupercool, Esq.

Phil Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:52 PM EST

Yumissupercool they are both on SONY/BMG. 19 Recordings & RCA Music Group are BOTH subsidiraies of BMG. AGAIN, please do not make statements unless they are factual. i just proved you wrong in a matter of seconds, respect that most of your ranting, is just that, and has no conceptual basis. I have not said anything derogatory about Katharine at all in all my posts, feel free to RE-read them. I just find that you have been hateful and toxic, and need some serious help. Did you never grasp the concept of getting along with others in kindergarten?? Clearly you have to have the good sense to re-read your posts and show that you're appearing as some Katharine mcPhee nazi, and that all who claim allegiance to anyone else but her must be be-headed! Seriously, THATS HOW U ARE COMING OFF TO EVERYONE READING THIS BLOG. I am tryin to do you a favor, by telling you, so that you stop.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:50 PM EST

and frankly Phil, this will be the last reply you get, because I actually don't give a crap about what you have to say. So have fun playing chaperone, No one cares about what you think is right or wrong, they'll do whatever they please.

if you want respect you need to earn it, and it'll be a long day in hell before I respect scum like I see on this site. Taylor and Kat are NOT on the same label by the way, and they're not friends either. That's a FACT. They're not enemies, but they're definitely not buddies. I don't need to buy multiple copies of anything, that's another fanbase's tactic. I have full confidence in Katharine's talents to sell itself, and she's well on her way to doing that. I had no problem with anyone not liking her video, it's the personal attacks and judgements I take offense to, and you know there is plenty of it on this blog directed at Katharine for absolutely NO reason other than boredom, jealousy, and envy.

Lori Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:44 PM EST

Ahh, shut up.

Phil Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:42 PM EST

Yumissupercool. Clearly, you did not read or understand a word I said, other when I said Katharine & Taylor MAY be friends. Considering they spent almost a whole year together, on a show, and touring together, and share the same record label, I'd imagine he has alot more interaction than you do with McPhee. But I digress. The point of my posts was to ask you to show RESPECT for fans' criticism even if its not in Katharine's favor. This blog is to comment on Katharine's new video, NOT TAYLOR HICKS' FANBASE OR WHATEVER U MAY THINK OF THEM. YOU ARE A PEON. A VERY UNEDUCATED FANATICAL POSTER WHO OBVIOUSLY HAS THE INTELLIGENCE OF SQUAT SINCE U CONTINUE TO USE A DATED, DEROGATORY TERM SUCH AS HAG. You wanna help Katharine's cause? Go spend your time, and energy on buying multiple copies of her cd! She'd thank you alot more for than, that these senseless posts the past few days, I'm SURE.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:38 PM EST

What bugs me is the defensiveness of you and people like Yumissupercool, you take any comment that is less than glowing in McPhee-praise and turn it into a diatribe of "No, she's awesome, you all suck, Taylor and Elliot suck, album sales don't matter, because she's just awesome and...well she's just awesome, can't all you hags see that??!!"

Your comment is a complete lie, and I can quote the posts which were trashing Katharine and praising Elliott and Taylor on here.. They were brought into this discussion by THEIR fans, and I will fire back when you try bringing them into this, they're now free game and I'll play it all day long since I have no respect for their fans. I hate most of the SP, they're the most condescending, nasty and hypocritical bunch I've ever come across. They're like a vicious backstabbing cult, and many Kat fans like myself despise them as well as Elliott fans for constantly trashing her for so long now. You asked for it, you'll get it.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:29 PM EST

No one here will stop me from calling you MJ idiots out for being the bitter, jealous HAGS that you are. If you want to dish it out, you'd better be prepared to catch the crap in your face back tenfold. You brought Trailure into this by comparing him with Katharine, and I'm telling you what I think of him, and his haggish, disgusting fanbase. I will say whatever I want on here, and NO ONE will stop me from doing so. I'm not Phee either btw, but I respect him very much for standing up to the moronic Kat haters that have nothing better to do with their time. How would any of you know the ages or names of Kat fans if you're not a fan of her's you stalkers? You think Kat and Taylor are friends lol. Yeah that'll be the day. What any artist would be ashamed of is seeing people trash them and make moral judgements when they don't know them personally, like you hags do with Kat all the time. Don't you dare tell me or any Kat fans not to tell you what we think of your nasty, vile comments.

shane Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 05:24 PM EST

Wow..mcphans are at it yet again. This is why I don't post in the mcphan forums. I read some of their stuff but it's too hateful towards other contestants. Katharine's music career hasn't taken off, there is no denying that. I don't think people are being hateful in stating the obvious. The video is better than Over It, but I miss the Katharine from idol.

tata Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 02:43 PM EST

Mcphans surly are guilty of ruining Mcphee"s career before it ever got started. Spewing hate and discontent among other fanbase's. Mcphee dissed her own first single,"Over It" publicly.Her words were she did not want to be associated with that song.Consider the fans who dished out money for the album and now she is asking for support for "Love Story". A artist never puts down their music and if they do, be prepared for a backlash from RCA and fans. No one is buying and RCA is not supporting. Bottom line--Meager sales, no radio play.

Phil Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 02:12 PM EST

I'm going to add one more insightful piece of information. Many artists are told by their handlers & publicists to avoid reading blog posts such as these because of the negative comments not necessarily directed at THEM, but at their fellow recording artists with whom they are compared. Regardless of how you feel about using the term HAGS, please remember that Taylor is ALSO Katharine's friend & I highly doubt she'd appreciate you "coming to her rescue" & responding to her haters as HAGS, cause you know, thats EXACTLY what she would do if she were reading these blogs!! Please try looking at this at some OTHER way than whatever cracked rear-view you are gazing through. Blogs provide anonymity in alot of senses, so I would tread carefully. You never know if a relative of the person the blog is about is reading or posting, just as you if the record label has an assistant or intern checking blogs such as these all day. Attacking fans with derogatory comments make you seem unstable.

dsven Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 02:01 PM EST

Maybe you should refocus your energies and passion to a cause that actually makes a difference in the world. Because, quite frankly, I'm sure McPhee doesn't want or need you crusading for her.

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:57 PM EST

I only defend Katharine on her own boards and blogs and only from HAGS, not those with a reasonable but contrary opinion. I will stop defending her when they stop attacking her. They can say what they want abiout her on their message boards and on blogs about the others I don't care, I don't read them. But if I see one of you vicious dried up hags spewing your hate on a Katharine blog, I will respoond.

Phil Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:42 PM EST

I thought I asked pretty kindly when I said please stop using the degrading term HAGS. And I also said, everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as they are respectful of others'. A comment has no meaning if you just state something but have no favctual basis with which to support your opinion. If you've never been to a Elliott, Chris, Taylor, Kelly, Ruben, Clay, etc. concert please do NOT make references to their fans'. Yes, message boards tend to attract FANATICAL fans with little respect for anyone but their chosen Idol, but please stop your immature comments about other people. Its disgusting & I feel terrible that your mother did not raise you better. You are entitled to your opinion, but with no factual informatiopn to back it, and just name-calling people HAGS, your words fall on hallow ears.

dsven Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:42 PM EST

Sigh...okay, you've worn me down. I LOOOOVE McPhee. Her album is genius, pure unadulterated genius. She is, dare I say it, the most revolutionary musical visionary we have seen in the past 30 years. I predict several Grammies, and perhaps even as Oscar lies in her future?

You must all submit to the McPheever. Resistance is futile.

yethica Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:40 PM EST

I agree with the comment by Mark from NYC. Kat was my favorite to win from the moment I saw her audition footage. I think she has an excellent voice, at times reminiscent of young Linda Ronstadt (a HUGE compliment) and a versatility that reminds me of Eva Cassidy. And that's what she should be doing: songs that show off the fact that she's an amazing SINGER -- not this pop cheese. I think she AND her label are underestimating her. My advice: bank LESS on the fact that you're hot, and MORE on your musical chops and you will go farther (see Kelly Clarkson, Judy Garland, Barbara Streisand, etc.) Kat's short-shrifting herself here, and it's kinda sad, especially from someone I consider to be very talented.

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:36 PM EST

Funny how some of the Katharine bashers/Katharine basher defenders even know the names of posters on Katharine message boards. How could that be? How can you be so obsessed in your hatred that you actually spend your free time reading posts on a message board for someone you don't like? You are sick sick puppies.

Crazy Kat Fans - please read my posts again, I am only reasonable and honest. "Maybeline Man" and "Wolfie" are pretty tame compared to what is said about Katharine and I am saying it here in a Katharine blog, not on one of their blogs.

I just respond to the bashers in Katharines defence. There is a difference between someone holding an opinion contrary to mine and expressing it in one of these, I don't mind. What I respond to are the sick hags who stalk Katharine all over the internet. You ignore them if you like. I will respond.

Crazy Kat Fans Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:04 PM EST

Phee - you need to go to work and stay away from blogs, etc. You embarass us Kat fans with all your rants, and have given Kat fans a bad name. Also, you say you don't bash other idols but you just called Elliott - wolfie and Chris - Maybelline Man; you're stooping to the level of what you call "hags," and you just look dumb. No wonder you were banned from IDF - you're out of control!

mark in nyc Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:03 PM EST

Wow...McPheefever is running rampant. someof you commentors are downright nasty to each other! Lighten up, it is someone elses career we are talking about, not yours.

Anyway, I love Kat. There is no doubt she is beautiful (although not the sex kitten this video is trying to make her out to be).

I am disappointed with this song and her other releases cause it is so cookie cutter.
Compare that song to her acappela version of "somewhere over the rainbow" on AI and you will see what I mean. She needs to be a singer, not a Brittnay/Hillary/Christina/Pussy Cat/etc....entertainer.
It seems with music like this she is on her way to the Lypsynching hall of fame

dsven Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 01:02 PM EST

Actually if you read my comments below, I don't have anything against her, I actually said I liked the song, but thought the video was cheese.

What bugs me is the defensiveness of you and people like Yumissupercool, you take any comment that is less than glowing in McPhee-praise and turn it into a diatribe of "No, she's awesome, you all suck, Taylor and Elliot suck, album sales don't matter, because she's just awesome and...well she's just awesome, can't all you hags see that??!!"

It's borderline fanatical, and quite frankly, it disturbs me a little bit.

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:58 PM EST

dcven - I have never ever in my life posted anything negative about any other Idol on any message board, blog, amazon - anywhere. I don't like American idol. I have no interest in any other contestant so I ignore them all. Yet every single blog that mentions Katharine has the same few hags posting the same hatefull opinions and lies. You tell me who are the haters and who needs to take their meds. Do you not think it is a mental illness to spend so much time stalking the internet and posting about someone you don't even like? I do.

A request Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:55 PM EST

Can those of you coming over to comment on this video, can you do us Kat fans a favor and, leave Taylor, Elliott, et al out of it? There's plenty of room for everyone on Season 5 and other seasons to have success. Come on now, these are fellow Americans and we should respect each other. There's other evil people in the world to get upset with.

Also, don't categorize everyone at MJs as hags, because they're not. I've been over there, and there's some good people that frequent MJs. Maybe, they're not too nice and like to bully and be snarky via the internet, but that's their perrogative and we'll probably never understand their behavior, it's just a sign of bullying, that's all. But, let's try to go back to what this blog post was for - "A Review of Katharine McPhee's new video - Love Story," and try to leave it at that.

Peace out peeps!

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:54 PM EST

"Yum Is Pheenomenal" No, I'm not. I always post with Pheenomenal, google it, you will see it everywhere. It is also my message board name. I believe I know who Yum is too, he is not me, though we probably agree. "Hags" is the word given to the vicious gang of old dried up hags who follow Katharine around post their venomous lies all over the internet. Whatever. I will not let their comments stand without rebuttal.

dsven Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:53 PM EST

Pheenomenal, I think it's time for your meds....and a restraining order. With fans like you, who needs haters?

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:50 PM EST

I see that all the past lies that the hags used to tell about Katharine have disapeared. The only peg you have to hang your hat on is her sales figures. Well, we are in early days yet. They have not even begun to push the second single of four planned for the album. Like anything worthwhile, it is going to take a lot of work to get Katharine up where she belongs as the major singer of her generation. It may not happen until the second album by which time, Taylor and Wolfie and the Maybeline Man will have been forgotten. If sales are all that matter than Chris is 4 times "better" than Taylor and 10 times "better" than Elliot. So what do you Taylor and Elliot fans have to say to that??? Using sales figures as a weapon you will see is a two edged sword.

Phil Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:50 PM EST

Kudos to Dsven! You said it perfectly!!

And to Yumisupercool. I'm NOT the moderator of this board, but I can not stand when people forget that this is a blog, where people are welcome to come and post and share their varied opinions. Unless you work for the National Consensus Bureau, which I highly doubt considering your childish posts calling people you don't even know HAGS, please limit your very passionate responses. This is also a reason why post-Idol contenders have a hard time expanding their fanbase after their career on the show, because of fans like you, who should not be close-minded & understand that a fan can like more than one Idol, or recording artist. Please, I implore you to stop your incessant ranting about fans, their age, and other Idol contenders. Its very toxic & you're going to give yourself high blood pressure before you turn 30.

Yum Is Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:49 PM EST

Sure "Pheenomenal" or should I call you "Yumissupercool"? You gave yourself away by using the term "hags" in both your messages. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Pheenomenal Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:46 PM EST

I see the usual couple of frustrated hags are here pretending to be many. How pathetic. But welcome, the more buzz you create about Katharine, the better. She now has the title of "most hated idol ever", very good for publicity, this fact alone will get a lot more people interested.

Liz? Yes, she lip synched to her music video. Please tell us of one single music video ever made that was not lip synched? If that is your only criticism then I guess you must think it is pretty damn good. You are a fool.

Anyway, it is a great video, sexy but with class, it show cases Katharine's beauty and hotness and personality. Anyone looking to cast a lead actress is going to have a jaw dropping experience here. Well done Katharine and your team.

dsven Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:41 PM EST

What is scary and pathetic is how vehemently you are defending her. Stalk much???

Bottom line is, album sales and singles charts don't lie. I am looking forward to her Stuff Magazine shoot though!

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:33 PM EST

tata, you are a moron. Katharine fans on average are way younger than Taylor fans. Have you seen who goes to his concerts? It's like they let the nursing homes out for a rest when he performs. You don't know what you're talking about. I said nothing about Chris having old fans by the way. He has fans of all ages.

90% or so of Trailure fans are old, miserably frustrated hags who dream of scoring with him. It's scary and pathetic.

If Katharine isn't important, why are any of you commenting lol? Doesn't make much sense to me. Love Story is a HOT video, and will be #1 on TRL and VH1 before you know it. Taylor, well he doesn't even have a video thank God.

dsven Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 11:36 AM EST

This group of McPhee defenders certainly are passionate! Maybe if more of you actually went out and bought her album you wouldn't be having to defend and rationalize why her career isn't taking off.

Let's face it, regardless of how much a few of you may love her, she isn't setting the music world on fire. That is fact, not an opinion. Feel free to continue loving her, just don't try to convince us that she is bigger than she really is.

And honestly, that was a lousy video. Song is okay, but the playful vibe of it is totally mismatched with the Beyonce-lite, s*x-kitten video. Too bad, ruined a decent song.

tata Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 11:26 AM EST

Shame, shame,calling Taylor's and Chris fans old hags. Mcphee's fan club is strickly made up of the over the hill "Vigara" gang. Uplink,Bigshady,bcollan,groucho,GB3535,CRB all late fifties, fathers, granpa's, really guys, have enough balls to post here under ur Mcphan penname,not an alias. We could be nasty and call the Vigara guys "Mcperverts" People should be able to comment, without these old farts trying to drum up sympathy that Mcphee is being picked on, God forbid if everyone dosen't think the sun rises and sets in Mcphee's tush.

teaparty Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 11:07 AM EST

Looks like Mcpheever has been cured. I don't ever hear anything about her musical career. Watched the video and it seems looks can only get you so far.

Liz Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 09:07 AM EST

Hm... lip synching, pretty girl in pretty dress singing forgettable song...

Yeah, it's been done.

Pass.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 08:53 AM EST

Taylor had to cancel recent concert dates because of low ticket sales, get your facts straight. He's a character alright, having kids out of wedlock, abusing drugs, and alcohol.
He can't sing for crap, and many of his fans are a bunch of ugly, fat old hags who are insanely jealous of someone as beautiful as Kat. Go back to TOSP boards and Thud over that flabby gray loser..

TayB Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 08:49 AM EST

LOL--why does every site contain Katharine fans who claim AI injustice against her if people say something negative? I tried to give the video a chance and sorry but it is just a girl in nice clothes with nice hair. Horribly awkward dance moves, lyp synching. She's using sex appeal to get her video out but sadly that isn't helping her sales. And how has her tour gone so far..no new fans right? Taylor may not be selling as much lately but his shows are sold out. As are Elliott's. Those two have character, something she does not have.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 08:46 AM EST

Some more accurate reviews of Kat's Love Story video: Katharine McPhee: "Love Story"
Director: Marcus Raboy (LOL)
Five long months after her nondescript video for "Over It" debuted, Kat finally releases a clip worthy of her aspiring diva status. It doesn't hurt "Love Story," with its Motown horns and effervescent likability, is one of our favorite pop songs of the year, either. Working a sparkling gold dress like a Beyoncé-in-training, McPhee goes all out here, gliding in high heels, dropping to her knees and convincingly acting like the massive pop star she should soon become.

4/5 stars

loves soul Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 08:45 AM EST

She should go back to shooting hair magazine ads. Elliott and Taylor are the true winners. Let them have the music scene and she can go back to shampoo, rinse and repeat.

Mike G Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 07:34 AM EST

I've never seen this much negative
hatred for a female singer.Why?
Has she been arrested for anything?
Has she been in trouble with the law?
This is a young lady trying to make a dream come true.Her management people make the calls-period-not her.
Every artist is different.
When David Foster gets her,the music business will flip over.You all remember David Foster -he has won sixteen grammy's.He is the one that
produced the tour last year for Andre
Bochelli[Whom Kat sang with]Also associated with Celine Dion and other
world famous singers.
Get a little love in your heart-PEOPLE
Their are many other people to hate
buKatherine is not one of them.
Also,you never hear about the Charitable work Kat is involved in,or her Foundation.

gato Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:35 AM EST

i love kats cd; don't care for this song but, each other, do what you do, & especially everywhere i go are great songs

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 03:40 AM EST

I see the Trailure fans are trolling Kat now as well as Chris. They have nothing to be proud of with their junky of an Idol who can't sell a cd to save his life. The jealousy of those hags knows no limits lol.

Anyway, this is one Awesome, hot video!! The choreography, dancing, outfits, and of course the singing by Kat is just Phenomenal.
She truly is a Superstar. Just the sweetest, and most gracious celebrity I've had the pleasure of meeting. Her album is filled with future radio hits, I never skip a song when listening, and still haven't tired of it since it came out in January. There are literally so many great songs on her cd, that it makes it sooo hard to choose a single.. Love Story is a great, fun summery song, and will do very well once it gets more airplay. Kat is on the upswing now. I can't wait to be part of all the excitement in the coming weeks:)

BJPNWTP Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 03:26 AM EST

I love it. She can sing and I think she will be around for a long while.

Emily Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 03:25 AM EST

1. If it's your first time hearing Love Story, the first track on the album, how on earth can you make sweeping assumptions about all of the tracks on her album and the album in general?

2. She's not belting out because the song doesn't call for it. If it was a power ballad then sure, but it's a fun little pop song. No need to scream every word Aguilera-style.

2. The hags need to get over the fact that things are going well for Katharine. Taylor's book came out two days ago but none of them are discussing that -- they're here crapping on Kat's (actually rather good) video. What great fans they are! It's funny in a way, because the crap they spew every time something is posted about her isn't going to change anything. They're really just wasting their time and making themselves look stupid.

Go Kat!

EM745 Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 03:17 AM EST

MJ and her hags have arrived!!! YIPEEEEEE!!! YIP, YIP, YIPEEEEEE!!! The party can now begin!... BTW, Can't wait to see a vid of Taytay slithering down a dinner table like that, coz that'll be WAY hot!

Corran Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 12:03 AM EST

The fact that these comments have already reached 101 and the fact that everyone is pushed outta shape means Kat is polarizing people. If she was a complete flop, then why are we all still talking about her? I think her songs won't sell, but her image and persona will. She has this incredible personality and I think she'll be public figure for a long time, and I cant wait to see her in the movies!

Is it just me or does it seem like she came up with these lame dance moves on her own? It's poorly produced.

FLGrl Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 09:48 PM EST

The video just seems recycled. And poorly. The styling is all wrong. The images don't really fit the sweetness of the song. Someone needs to help her out, do her justice.

Gerry Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 07:58 PM EST

Heh-heh-----this is hilarious.
I won't bother talking about the comments. It's obvious that the young lady could bring about world pesce and end world hunger and you'd still be ranting and railing about her. And in the end, you don't matter. You're pathetic.
Instead, I'd like to focus on the review itself. Author, if you expect to be taken at all seriously, you're going to have to do a lot better than "weirdly schizophrenic" and saying inane stuff like "why isn't she excited" and "she's blase about it". What exactly would you have her do, cartwheels, come out tap-dancing and juggling?{actually, I'd like to see a cartwheel in that little sequined number.}As far as "why isn't she singing her lungs out?". that's just ridiculous. It's not that kind of a song. Why do I even have to explain this stuff to you?
But at least you're different. I haven't read many bad "reviews" of the video.
It's a lot easier than that-----"good song, good voice, good choreography, beautiful girl, great vid."

Disgusted w/other fans Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 07:43 PM EST

How sad you all are! Season 5 was great--all talented singers! I've bought several CDs that are out (I'm waiting for Ace's), ALL BUT Elliott's and Taylors. Why ? because their fans are rude and disgusting people & treaat the other fan bases like ****! I do NOT want to put up with this. This is a review about the Video not Katharine. Get over it! Yes, Taylor won -- the competion is OVER!

Derrick Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 07:29 PM EST

Kat is trying way hard to be sexy and it definitely shows. Plus, the video
shots are too short and choppy. It's hard to focus on one thing, because it moves to fast, except for the ridiculous crawl across the table. It must have been very low budgeting, because it's horrible editing, with weird shots as well as Kat's facial expressions aren’t great. I’d say this video was put together with not much thought. Also, it appears as though Kat is lip singing -- not a good video at all.

dsven Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 07:06 PM EST

Wow, there is a lot of passionate debate going on here....about Katharine McPhee.

My thoughts, if anyone cares:
- song actually isn't bad. I heard it a few weeks ago and thought it was a good, mainstream pop song
- Katharine is hot.
- video does not do the song justice. It looks tacky, doesn't capture the mood of the song, and relies on Katharine selling her looks. It just looks amateurish.
-Her "man" sure looks like Federline. It's scary!

As for all the lovers and haters, it's just pop music. You won't remember getting so worked up about this in a year, let alone a month. Chill out.

AR Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 06:55 PM EST

wow, i think she looks horrible in this....so unclassy.

THFan Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 06:44 PM EST

See why she lost to Taylor. Nuff said.

Pheenomeal Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 06:14 PM EST

Seems like a lot of negative comments but I think this is just the same three hags who follow Katharine all over the internet saying the same negative things about her and pretending to be a lot of people. *shrug*

kate Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 06:00 PM EST

She's just not very believable. I think that is why she's not doing very well. She is attractive, but something just isn't there that needs to be.

Michelle Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 05:17 PM EST

Laughing at the AI stuff. Daughtry won the CD sales war x10 already. Kat lacks the urban vibe to sell these songs. She should put out a calendar and pass on the pop career.

She's had 3 management companies, I think she's still finding her way. Management makes a BIG difference in one's career. It's interesting that Kelly just fired her manager; Jennifer Hudson just changed for a 2nd time her management (now Will Smith's comp); and Fantasia left 19E for a company in New York.
This is the most exposure we've seen of Kat, so maybe she's on the right track.

Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:49 PM EST

k phee = a sell-out puppet. blech.

mark in nyc Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:37 PM EST

I dont think people are hating Kat, I think that most people are just disapointed that she is not doing anything up to her potential....this song and video is nothing new. Just a rehash of pop culture today...it could have been made and sung with about a dozen other people. I expected more from her.

Sarah Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:31 PM EST

What are you all talking about. This video is great.& just so you know you don't belt out every song... Then it'll just soound stupid. Especially a flirty song like this.

loco Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:30 PM EST

What has this girl done to produce so much negative comments.

I like this vid...it's upbeat and sexy. So much enjoyable than watching a vid about hating or doing harm to a guy.

Sunshine Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:24 PM EST

This is a video of trying to make Kat sexy. She is not sexy, at least not in terms of how today’s media views sexy. She’s got kind of a classic beauty and looks her best when not trying too hard. The parts in the video where shes trying to be sexy, like when shes crawling across the table just made me laugh out loud. Big bucks spent on this mediocre video will not make a winning CD.

Sally Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:18 PM EST

I know we're not supposed to be comparing, but one thing I like about Kelly C. is she sings the H*** out of a song; she's a real song seller. I have to say the same about Carrie U, although she's not my kind of performer - lack of movement on stage. But when she sings she sells the song. I think that's what Kat needs to do, is get ahold of a really good song and sing the h*** out of it.

ohno Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:06 PM EST

I enjoyed the video. I got it! It was fun and sexy. Someone explain to me why some people are so rude and just plain mean. Just say you didn't like it and leave it at that. Being so mean just makes it look like you have a very big self esteem issue. It's okay, you can love yourself.

Brad Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 04:05 PM EST

I could have directed that unimaginative video or written that boring, heard it before song. Kat has a great voice and I think she should use it. And I do think she is smoking hot, but I hate to see her just being all sexy as opposed to singing to sell records.

wolf Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:54 PM EST

One comment. Manufactured pop crap. There is nothing original about it. As Simon would say I will forget about it in an hour.

Kathleen Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:51 PM EST

I agree with Tricia way down there in the comments. Something about this doesn't jibe - the video for a young, light-hearted song featuring a vamp having a naughty daydream and lots of gratuitous parted-lip shots? The tones don't match up for me. But it's a cute song and she has a lovely voice.

mark in nyc Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:37 PM EST

cookie cutter pop c*ap..I expected more from her.she actuallyis a singer not just an entertainer.

Phil Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:27 PM EST

Oh and one more thing for those comapring her to Rihanna. Yes, Rihanna is ruling the charts right now with "UMBRELLA", but is failing to find an audience with her cd, "GOOD GIRL GONE BAD". I must say, thats a disappointment, because it is a MUCH better pop cd than even Katharine's is, with even more hits coming in the future. But as I already stated, with music sales down, the public is fickle & waits for future singles before supporting album sales. If you actually enjoy Katharine's cd, and have yet to purchase Rihanna's latest, I highly RECOMMEND it. Its one of the best cds I've heard all year!! Oh and one more problem Katharine is going to have in the next few weeks...the debut single and video from PCD front-woman &sex kitten, Nicole Schrezinger feat. T.I. "Whatever You Like". Trust me when I tell you, its going to be huge, and the beat is infectious as all hell. Depending when its released, it should be on the top of the charts by Labor Day weekend w/her performing at the MTV VMAs

Phil Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:18 PM EST

Katharine actually has some solid pop hit, potential hit singles left on this disc, but she first needs a hit, in order for her name to get out there. "Love Story" is still building, but its not going to have an easy time finding love on Top 40 stations, but if her record label pushes her and stays with the project as they did with Pink's "U + UR HAND", they could potentially turn the entire project around, and get a top 10 hit, and subsequentially follow up with a much stronger song like "Not ur Girl". I understand Katharine's need to come accross as SEXY in her video since she will ALWAYS have body image issues since she had an eating disorder, regardless of of saying she's overcome her demons. That kinda stuff does NOT go away over night, esp. when you're young & thats what you were accustomed to, for such a long time. And she has a 40 yr. old b/f?? is this true?? Or was this just more salacious gossip??

Sally Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:16 PM EST

Phil, you are right. The CD is a good pop CD. She's not connecting, but she didn't connect on AI either. But you know most artists today are multi-level, meaning they are endorsers (see Beyonce), movie stars, stage and screen, so she needs to branch out more. Maybe the public will pick up then. She's a fun California girl, but it's just not coming across.

Phil Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:13 PM EST

Ok, I can't read all these hateful comments/trash talking, so I'm going to try and say what hopefully hasn't already been stated. Regardless of her Idol follwoing, Katharine's cd is a GREAT POP cd. Does it truly showcase the vocal ability she displayed on Idol? NO. Does that mean the cd does not have a few good moments? No. If you are expecting a Christina Aguilera cd, then yes, you MAY be disappointed, since the cd is more JoJo-esque without the Urban leaning sounds. But again, THAT DOES NOT MEAN KATHARINE'S CD IS BAD. "love Story" is one of the songs I did like when I intitially got it, and I have to admit, "Not Ur Girl" is another favorite, as another poster stated. Katharine's problem though is she does need to "connect" with her audience. Something is DEF. missing. And please don't stone me, but yeah, even with album sales at an all time low this year, her cd is kind of not performing as well as her record label has hoped, butr for good reason. "Over It" was not a huge hit.

Sally Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 03:05 PM EST

Okay, I saw it again and I swear it looks like a Pussycat Dolls video. Just IMO.

Flo Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:58 PM EST

Flo, we're not picking on this particular girl, we're picking on all of them...AI is supposed to be the ticket to stardom but we're seeing that's not totally true. It's what you make of your career after leaving AI. How the public receives you. The jury is still out on Kat, but she's gotten the most profile since AI than before AI. So that's a good thing.

Sally Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:54 PM EST

Oops! I forgot the vid review: It's OK, but boring. She looks good and the song is cute uptempo, fits her personality.

FLO Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:54 PM EST

Holy Crap!!! Are we still talking about a season of American Idol that is 2 years old!!!! Leave these people alone, everyone from that season, as I have seen and heard is doing fine. Each in their own way. Good God what is wrong with you people!!!!! LET IT GO!! IT'S OVER. I don't even watch AI, but I like this video, I don't see a thing wrong with it, I also like Daughtry and Elliott Yamin, I believe they are all from the same season right? Why does everyone pick on this particular girl? Everyone really needs to come it down and move on.

sassy Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:44 PM EST

Sally, I agree. She seems devoid of emotion. Very shallow. Pretty, but nothing on the inside. And I agree, maybe she will be able to act better than she can in videos.

bethonie fan Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:42 PM EST

Bethonie--I completely agree with you. Thanks for expressing what I was thinking.

Sally Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:42 PM EST

Hmmm....let me weigh in here. If you recall, she went to Boston Conservatory, she stated she auditioned for 2 years for sitcoms...failed actress/singer (lots of money spent) until American Idol. This may be her last hope, as it appears this is the last hope for a lot of desperate acts. I like Kat's voice, she's pretty in a sex-kitten way, but like Fluffy noted, she's another Beyonce-Rihanna and they have it wrapped up. nothing wrong with selling sex it helps Beyonce. I just can't put my finger on what it is about her that comes across as cold and mechanical? Maybe she's a better actress.

Sarah Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:23 PM EST

It's ok. The new crop of contestants are going to blow her out of the water and she will be a has been even quicker. She doesn't have an ounce of talent in that gold dress. Jordin, Chris, and Blake are going to be the ones raking in the money. They will join the other idol success stories.

mmhmm Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:11 PM EST

Open Toes should've been her next single..it's kinda the only good song off her whole CD

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:06 PM EST

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:04 PM EST

Another review that is actually a review.

Blender Reviews:

Katharine McPhee: "Love Story"
Director: Marcus Raboy
Five long months after her nondescript video for "Over It" debuted, Kat finally releases a clip worthy of her aspiring diva status. It doesn't hurt "Love Story," with its Motown horns and effervescent likability, is one of our favorite pop songs of the year, either. Working a sparkling gold dress like a Beyoncé-in-training, McPhee goes all out here, gliding in high heels, dropping to her knees and convincingly acting like the massive pop star she should soon become.

4/5 stars

http://www.blender.com/news/comments.aspx?article=9567#post

Fluffy Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 02:01 PM EST

I'm impressed with her ability to bend backwards. This is a skill I didn't know she had and I'm sorry that she didn't show it off on Idol. She might have won that way. McPhee is a good singer and pretty, and like all the good singers who are pretty women -- Beyonce, Rhianna, etc. -- she's forced to make sex videos. Which might not be so bad if they didn't all have the exact same layout. Is there one guy doing all these videos now? Because they need to raise the bar. I want to see the next sex kitten singer gyrating on top of an elephant or something.

DJLapri Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:57 PM EST

Uplink that is a lie. Digital sales are only .99c each. CD sales are at least 12 dollars each you McBoob fans can't cheat with those sales that is why she is flopping, because America does not like her..at all.

gmann Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:55 PM EST

amazing, one good video can tick off ONE person so badly. These posts and this hate is nothing but needle lost in a universe. time to move on folks

Theo Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:54 PM EST

She's eye candy until proven otherwise. Her and Taylor Hicks' albums were rushed to make way for the next season's winners, so neither of hers or his singles have been at all remarkable. But she can slink over a table to me in tight clothes anytime.

DJLapri Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:53 PM EST

You are right Joe, she doesn't care about what she is going AND NEITHER IS THE BUYING PUBLIC. Her album hasn't even sold Gold yet. Kinda sad.

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:53 PM EST

Goodbye all. This is simply ridiculous, sad, and it is so time for these wars to be over.

For the love of Simon. Kat fans and AI fans - shut up, already!!!!

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:51 PM EST

Not that the sales numbers matter but your facts are ncorrect. When you add together both Digital single and Full CD sales together, Kat is the #2 seller from season 5 only behind the incredible #s of Daughtry. And int the new world of music Digital sales are more important these days.

DJLapri Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:51 PM EST

I can't believe she is flopping so hard. Who would have thought Kelly Pickler would be leaving her in the dust now?

Joe Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:50 PM EST

I am curious as to whether she even likes this album she released. She seems to be putting out medicore videos and I heard her put down her first song. It's like she doesn't really care about what she is doing. She seems interested in looks only. Poor shallow, lost girl.

Heather Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:48 PM EST

I think she has gone downhill since idol. And even then she wasn't that great minus a few performances. Every other idol from her season is outselling her. Let her stick to magazine covers. That will be her bread and butter. It's obvious the music thing isn't working out for her. And I don't think her heart is in her music to be honest.

To those that say, where is Taylor: Actually, Taylor has been writing and recording his book which I believe goes for sale this week. He has also been touring and doing tv spots.

Kat is mediocre. Give me Shakira or Beyonce, or Christina any day of the week. She doesn't compare to any of them.

Josh Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:44 PM EST

Well it's certainly better than "Over it" and while I enjoyed it I was a little bored by the end, not sure if this is what is going to make her a huge star

if you wanted to criticize her material and vocal performance of the song you may want to title your next "snap judgement" accordingly.

ummm Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:42 PM EST

Who the h*ll is Bethonie Butler ? and WHY does her opinion matter ?
This review is USELESS..

JJ Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:42 PM EST

Why is it that anytime there is a review posted about Katharine that is negative, fans automatically use the hater card? Or american idol card? It makes me embarrassed to be a fan. I saw the video last night and was a bit disappointed. I thought that it would be more than just looking sexy and focusing on her hair. Now that I give an honest opinion I'm sure her teeny booper fans are going to claim I'm not really a fan like they do on stupid idol boards when you express something they don't want to face.

DJLapri Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:41 PM EST

FLOP! FLOP!

I want to like her, but I just can't. She is capable of more than she is giving.

DJ Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:37 PM EST

Uplink, is it really my fault that her music is flopping? You need to examine why you're a 50 year old child molester man that has daughters Kat's age and obsess over her by saying "I think I need to go take a cold shower now." That is sick you are old enough to be her GRANDPA.

Meanwhile why you are falling over Kat's looks, Love Story is falling down the charts.

Sara Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:37 PM EST

Does Inner Paula think Kat's a transvestite?

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:36 PM EST

To the EW site readers and bloggers. What you are seeing here is the ridiculous display of tired old AI fan wars. Fans of certain other Idols have made it their mission to follow Katharine and her fans everywhere and post derogatory comments about anything and everything she does. It is sad and disturbing. I am a fan of Kat but would never post about the other Idols from season 5 because I don't care. I wish them well but have no interest in following them and posting hate, or derogatory stuff about them I'm happy they are successful and simpoly not interested in them. I have no idea what chart positions they have or sales they have because it is irrelevant and I don't care. But yet with Katharine these folks are so obsessed with her they actually spend hours looking for ways to run her down. It is ridiculous and scary, almost stalkerish. So take most of what goes on here for what it is, sad, offensive and disturbing.

inner audience member Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:34 PM EST

DJ, quit playing the same tired record -- "Her Album Is Flopping (Please Let This be True) feat/Own Personal Issues & Frustrations".
I'm enjoying the show. I love watching Kat go from strength to strength. I like her album a lot, and I'm thrilled with this video.
What I think is the haters' fault is not taking remedial courses in English and Logic.

true soul Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:34 PM EST

Are the mcphans really this delusional to think that Katharine is the highest profile contestant? LMAO! You guys must make up a mantra each day to tell yourselves so that you can fool yourselves into thinking she has an ounce of success. Next time this year she will be waiting tables.

jweil Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:31 PM EST

This is an amazing girl. She can sing, she can dance, she can act, frankly there isn't much she can't do. Her albums sales aren't the best, but they aren't bad for a new artist either, and the sales added up with the digital downloads are almost 800K. So all you haters just keep hating, yet you can't stop talking about her. Anyway this girl did a fantastic job with this video and she has 2 movies coming out in the fall, so I think she's done and is doing pretty damn well. Go Kat!!!!

true soul Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:31 PM EST

Taylor has proven once again that he is the winner and katharine is not. His sales are over double hers. His tour is selling out everywhere and he's getting the best reviews out of anyone. How high has Katharine made it and how much has she sold? Yay that's what I thought. And you are kidding yourselves if you think sales don't matter. She's barely holding on and it shows.

DJLapri Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:30 PM EST

hey Uplink, that DJ is NOT me..
Kat is super, this is a super song and video. Get ready to see Kat in theatres near you too. Kat is the highest profile Season 5 contestant, get OVER IT

Tina Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:29 PM EST

Sadly this is just that..a snap judgement. Belting is great, but only when the song calls for it and this isn't that kind of song. To be honest I don't hear Rhianna belting under her "Umbrella-ella", or Gwen or Nelly, Ciara etc. in any of their latest hits. Maybe the author should check out some Ethel Merman videos to get your fill of belting. I'm not sure why Katharine's vocals/CD are so criticized when we're subjected to "Soooo-icdal" songs that are "tryin' to make us go to Rehab...no no no"! Maybe our ears are used to mediocrity and the lack of connection is from our ears to our brain... not with Katharine. The video is solid, artsy like Katharine's style and well peformed. After 37 years of being in Music..I give it 2 thumbs up! Congratulations Kat fans! Your favorite has gone from reality show singer to R&B Diva!

Haley Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:28 PM EST

Ummm yeah can you say desperate to get a pickup in sales since nothing else is working.

AI Fan Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:27 PM EST

HOTT Video, great song. Forget CD sales in this time and age. Only Country fans are CD fanatics. Thus why Carie and Kellie do well. NO arguement that Daughtry is the big success, taylor is Platinum b/c BIG stores lost alot of money HOPING he would sell well. Sorry, Taylor is a Xmas sales success only. Eliott, congrats to him, if not for his AI appearance, he would be singing in bars right now. Katharine has done GREAT with digital downloads and a top 25 with a so-so song with Over it. Love Story should do better.
The writer of the article above should hold on to her Taylor poster tightly, cuz thats the last you will see of him.

Bruno Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:27 PM EST

She needed to release "Not Ur Girl" instead. It's a better song IMO.

Hmmm...seems like Katharine only has sexy hair going for her. Her fans are delusional, the only place she is showing up is on magazines. This video just showcases that sexy hair ad. LOL Her music has flopped. Her fans need a serious reality check. The only thing she has going for her is looks.

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:24 PM EST

DJ, it is pointless to discuss anything with you. I find it incredibly disturbing that you are so obsessed with hating Katharine. You monitor her fan sites so that whenever an article is posted about her you can run and post your venom and hatred with your number and banter. I feel sorry for you that you feel you must act this way. If you don't like her, then why do you follow her everywhere?

emma Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:22 PM EST

Thank you for writing this. I found myself thinking the same exact thing. The girl can sing and the girl is pretty. It seems she is only using the pretty lately and no singing ability. This song and the video are very weak. Very disappointed fan.

gmann Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:20 PM EST

I thought people were "Over IT" Season 5 is long gone.
Katharines new video is great, fits the song well, and she is absolutely gorgeous as usual. The nay sayers and haters will never stop criticizing this very talented and pretty young lady.

BTW/ Where is Taylor ?? LMAO

DJ Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:19 PM EST

Uplink, if she is the one everyone talks about...why is her album flopping? Why is Love Story bombing?

good post uplink. Agree!

Inner Audience member, What would you say about Love Story flopping along with her album? Would you say it the "haters" fault?

Uplink Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:14 PM EST

Well it seems the same tired Kat haters who are more obsessed with her than her fans are, have been lurking on her fan sites again and found this blog. They post the same tired arguments and the same numbers because that is all they have. Whereas Kat has everything, talent, great looks, great choreography, and a great personality. This video shows them all in spades. I really wonder if you were watching the same video as I was. It is fun, sexy, upbeat and just a great performance video of a great song!

And to all you haters again and you know who you are and so do we, recite your dribble some more because this girl is a "STAR" and you can't accept the fact that she is the one everyone wants to talk about!

Bruno Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:10 PM EST

That video is way too similar to Amerie's superior "One Thing".

Her 1995 Mariah stylings are played out. She should have either gone more Neo-Soul with her music or more Urban. It's either that or take the Clarkson rock-lite route which I feel her voice can't handle.

www.youarenotthefather.net

inner audience member Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:05 PM EST

I'll be the fan with the Kat poster sitting behind the judges and booing them. WHAT IS DEFINITELY NOT STANDARD ISSUE IS KATHARINE MCPHEE HERSELF. What she brings to the table, before crawling on it -- her singing talent, drop-dead-gorgeous looks, dance ability, flexibility!, an irrepressible goofy sense of humor ... ooh, birthday cake... and an almost retro showgirl/ Broadway Baby vibe -- is a unique combination that stands out in the pop music landscape. As a performer, she can do so many things, why would you want to confine her to power ballads? After singing Over The Rainbow 1,000 times in a ball gown, you'd want to doo-wop in a sequined mini too.
This video is fun and exciting, and if you can't see that, it must be your inner guest coach Stevie Wonder.
Kat is going far, and I'm sure she'll belt out a few rafter-shakers along the way. You'll see... after the break.

Tricia Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:03 PM EST

The guy is actually a dead ringer for a young version of her 40-year-old boyfriend! And, sorry but it was a fun song -- no need to tart it up the way they did. Kat could have gotten the young crowd, like Kelly Clarkson has, and build from there. But, not with this image. Too bad.

Dew Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 01:00 PM EST

Jane, I agree. It is something about her that is not clicking with public, but it is hard to put your finger on it. I want to say it is because her music sounds like dated pop music. Most Pop songs these days are more urban driven, if not that then it is more rock driven. Kat's is like 1998 pop - and that is played out.

DJ Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 12:56 PM EST

Her album sales are even worse. Check this out:

Katharine sold 1,500, down from 1,900, to inch up to a rounded-off 342,000 total.

There is a schizo quality to the video and her pop image. She's too sexy/too vanilla/not sexy enough/too odd. Something is off but it's hard to know what. Main problem is her voice is not all that and a bag of chips.

DJ Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 12:51 PM EST

That video does suck, what was she thinking?

Her song "Love Story" is FLOPPING on Pop radio. It is tumbling down the charts. It fell from #66 to #83 with a negative bullet of -80. Horrible. Check it out:

Katharine has a unique mix of hot looks, talent, great personality. Something you dont find in alot of people. Katharine has all these qualities.

I agree completely! I wish she'd put as much enthusiasm into the singing as she did in the flinging herself about in the yellow dress. And he does look like K-Fed. Gross. The most I can say about this video is very Paula like, boy, you sure look pretty.
