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

Jul 11, 2007, 12:49 PM | by Bethonie Butler

Categories: 'American Idol', Music

Mcphee_l So I just finished watching the premiere of Katharine McPhee’s “Love Story” video on Yahoo! Music. (Click here to see for yourself.) It's all pretty standard-issue: Kat wears a Beyoncé-ish dress; a wind machine makes her hair do pretty things; she struts across the floor, crawls across a table, and makes out with a dude who looks disturbingly similar to K-Fed. And since it's also my first time hearing the accompanying song, I feel it’s only appropriate that I present my thoughts Idol-style:

Inner Randy: Yo! Dawg, how you doin'? So, check this out, dawg... it was just OK for me. [Note from actual self: I may have an inner-Randy, but I would never say "dawg."]

Inner Paula: You look really beautiful, Katharine! Pretty girl. Pretty dress. That was your best performance as a female.

Inner Simon: I don’t really get it. I just wish you could sing better.

Inner Ryan: So Inner Simon, you don’t think Katharine can sing?

Thing is, Inner Ryan (and McPhee fans), I do think Katharine can sing. But there’s something off about this song (and every other song I’ve heard from her self-titled debut). And it's not just that the track — with its doo-wop-meets-Broadway-meets-Stevie-Nicks feel — is weirdly schizophrenic. I also get the strange sense that Katharine is holding back vocally. (It’s like Mandy Moore’s Scrubs character, with her "It’s so funny, but I’m not laughing" shtick.) Why isn't Katharine belting her lungs out on this one? Why so blasé about it all? If the Idol alumnus can't bring herself to get excited about "Love Story," then why in the world should I? Are you with me, PopWatchers, or do you think this is the video that'll help change Katharine's pop-chart trajectory from Justin to Kelly?

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.

Girly Girl Thu, Aug 2, 2007 at 08:41 PM EST

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.

Kat_Elliott Fan Fri, Jul 13, 2007 at 04:45 PM EST

watch this for an Amazing Kat performance from the Early show last week! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRyf9poAFe4

tata Fri, Jul 13, 2007 at 02:19 AM EST

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.

yumissupercool Thu, Jul 12, 2007 at 06:47 PM EST

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.
