Katharine McPee dropped by RCA

January 11th, 2008 // 127 Comments

Katharine McPhee of American Idol season five has been dropped by RCA. A rep for the record label confirmed the news today. Coincidentally, season five winner Taylor Hicks was also dropped from his label two days ago, according to Us Magazine:

“I think the industry has seen that unless these artists can churn out strong enough original material, they don’t really have that much traction once we don’t see them on television week after week singing songs we already know and love,” Rollingstone.com editor Caryn Ganz tells Usmagazine.com.

Wow, this news proves a theory I’ve been kicking around for quite some time: I really can care less about American Idol. Seriously, sometimes I wish a plane would crash into the stage while they’re filming the show. Or even better; a private jet carrying Nickelback, Hinder and let’s say Chris Daughtry is the pilot. Also, during the nose dive, part of the fuselage breaks off and lands on John Mayer’s face. Hopefully God reads this post and realizes he forgot to get me a Christmas present.

    It’s a good thing for her that RCA didn’t drop her directly onto my jock. She would have split in half like hotdog in a microwave.

    This is truly a sad turn of events for her. Soon she’ll be reduced to being the opening act for W.Va county fairs, turning tricks for circus performers and trying to get pregnant to get a photo deal with some tabloid.

    Sad, really sad

    Sounds like another Job for Super Producer Kevin Federline….

    Kevin knows they will never take these Idols Stars seriously as performers
    So now’ he’s going to help these Fallen Idols to become producers

    As our sources confirm…he’s allready working hard behind the scenes (as a sperm producer) to bringing her in…”

    I don’t believe this story. American Idol winners become huge music stars. Winners of “The Bachelor” become married for life. “Survivor” doesn’t have to filter out the sound of Hostess cupcakes packages being opened just off camera. Don’t lie to me, I know things about stuff.

    Well, if you can care less about American Idol, then you’re saying you at least care to some degree.

    Nitpicker, most people do make that grammatical error, but in this case I think he actually did mean that he CAN care less. As in, you think you COULDN’T care less about American Idol, but then you hear a new story about one of the “winners” and realize that, yep, you actually do care less than you originally thought possible.

    P.S. So glad Nickelback was on the plane.

    She’s a pretty girls with nice legs and all, but she’s an eating disorder chick. That’s a death penalty for high-quality sex – waaaaaay too much anxiety and self-consciousness when it’s naked body time. For great sex, a girl needs to be comfortable, uninhibited, and unable to dial 911.

    The problem with Idol winners isn’t just limited talent, it’s also that they’re hooked on being onscreen. People with limited talent and name recognition can make it in music if they hook up with the right people and work like crazy, but not if they have lots of “projects” (trying to get into TV and movies). Maybe it’d be best if McPee quit music and did a remake of the Wiz of Oz.

    I was dragged to a Nickelback show. I wasn’t a fan because I generally hate corporate radio rock. I have to say, after seeing them live I have a new respect for them. It was a classic rock show. Drum and guitar solos, fireworks, potty mouths talking between songs, a Pantera cover. I was really impressed.

    Chris Daughtry would parachute out cause he alone had the sense to only use his American Idol fame to springboard not to forever suck on the milk teat that was never suppose to dry up. As a result he had the numero uno rock album last year with yes – gasp – original material.

    34 – Mostly I like NB because they sound the same live as well as recorded. Not many bands can say that.

    OK, I’m OUT of the closet. I LIKE NICKELBACK (not so much their earlier stuff though).

    My opinion about Kat, she is way hotter than Kim “Gypsy” Kardassfactory will ever be. I think it may be because Kat doesn’t look like a urinal, Kim just has that “pee on me” look in her eyes.
