Idol-otry

by Jennifer Gonzalez

mcphee-at-make-a-wish-benefit.jpgAs I’ve said before, I don’t watch American Idol, but I’ve seen the reruns of the clip of some gorgeous brunette sitting on the floor belting out the most heartbreaking version of “Somewhere over the Rainbow” I have ever heard. That young woman is Katharine McPhee, and her debut album is slated to be released a week from tomorrow (that’s January 30 for people unwilling to do math). Lyndsey Parker criticizes McPhee (scroll down, it’s the last paragraph in that column) for sexing up her image, but seriously who the hell does Parker think she is for saying something like that? If she wants wholesome entertainment, I’m not sure where she can turn, but the pop scene ain’t it, hasn’t been it for years, if it ever was. As proved by Paris Hilton’s musical bellyflop*, people won’t buy your albums just because they want to see you naked. I wish McPhee the best of luck, and hope she gets just as much success as Kelly Clarkson.

*Confession of the day: the only song I heard from her album was the one they played incessantly on the radio, and I liked it
