Hi guys I read an article and Nigel Lythgoe was interviewed in it and he says that Katharine will return to Idol this year!

"This time around, the show will redirect attention to the finalists and bring back alums such as McPhee and season-two winner Ruben Studdard during results shows to keep fans abreast of what they're up to, Lythgoe said. There will be a new set to spice up a tried-and-true format."

Great! I hope she does it, even though I wouldn't blame her if she didn't. However, Nigel L. was the one who defended Kat staying the night Chris was sent packing so maybe she'll do it for him...and us too Maybe then the world can hear what we already know...Kat's music is amazingly under-appreciated!

in my mind the ultimate "Idol" contestant of the pre-lapsarian era, the one who most perfectly combined the demands for relentless emotive singing and the wow factor -- Katharine McPhee

if she goes on and its true, which it sounds..then i don't think she will really be singing old material will she? maybe by that time there will be something new prepared! lol probably unlikely though. but i cant imagine her singing an old single on idol..MAYBE EVERYWHERE I GO. but still doesnt make sense since shes not w/ RCA anymore so there would be no reason for promotion of those songs

If she does appear on idol, alot of the credit goes to the kit kat project

Amanda though I'd love to believe that I think the main reason is the declining ratings of last year. People don't want to see Gwen Stefani and Pink on the show, they want to see these kids and learn more about their stories.

If she performs during that appearance I am very curious what she will sing. I doubt it will be anything from this CD. Possibly her duet with Elloitt but the rumor is he is going to be on Idol Gives Back. It might be a new song, possibly a soundtrack song, or maybe something she has said nothing about yet. This is going to be an "amazing year musically" remember? If I had my pick right now I think I'd like to see her do Mary Jane and mention she is covering it on her upcoming CD! Something that simply blows the crowd away with how far she has come!

But if she's on another label by that time would they let her push her new material? How interconnected are these companies anyway?

Speaking of covering MJ, and I'm just thinking out loud here, it occurs to me that there are any number of ways she could work covers into an album. If she had musicians like those guys she did the acoustic stuff with on VH1 and Rhapsody, and arrangers who could do what they did with Over It and Love Story, practically turning them into different songs, she could even cover something like Come Rain or Come Shine and it would sound contemporary. I mean really, I didn't even like Love Story until I heard the acoustic version of it. The combination of letting her just do whatever she wanted to vocally plus stripped-down accompaniment without all the studio crap worked wonderfully well, IN MY OPINION. I could listen to a whole lot of that. And I think a lot of other people could to.

Well Gwen is on Interscope and they had her a lot so I don't think it would matter too much about the label. They would be highlighting the fact that a show alum is now a movie star and has a new record deal. I just wonder about the relationship between 19 and BMG these days. I find it interesting that after BMG dropped Ruben he signed with Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment. Plus no Clive at Top 3 night was interesting too. Thankfully that was the case for Jordin, Blake and Melinda. He picks such ridiculous songs.

Is it certain that the returning alumni will be singing at all? I'm not sure what Kat could sing. If she's on the "I Know What Boys Like" soundtrack, that's still too far away for a release during the Idol schedule. Maybe she has another collaboration in the works?

It would be really nice to see her on the show, but even better if she had something to promote, as just about all of the previous guests had. The timing doesn't seem right to me. Lythgoe didn't say anything about her singing if she is on. I read another article where he said that they weren't going to use guests very much, but instead focus on the contestants and their families, such as have family members select the songs to sing. I think it is going to be a different format than in the past and maybe she wouldn't sing at all.

The final results shows are a long way off, so I would expect by then Kat would have something hot going

I'm indifferent. She is finally shedding the AI association, plus there is no new music to promote. She can't record unil she has the backing of a label. She and Elliott could possibly perform the duet from Randy's record.

I agree with being indifferent about it at this point. Last year when she REALLY needed the promotion with her new CD they snubbed her. Instead, they only decided to pimp Yamin, Daughtry, Pickler and Hicks with no Kat to be found. And of that group, only Taylor finished ahead of her and he, I believe, only got a brief appearance on the finale. So, whatever they may do this year, it in no way makes up for the way they slighted her last year. But, if Kat decides she WANTS to go back, then I will certainly look forward to seeing her appearance.

If it happens, I'm all for it.  You can't let previous snubs stand in your way.  Like the old saying goes..."any publicity is good publicity".... especially when dealing with the numbers of people that view "Idol".  People that may not have liked her in the past, or unfamiliar with her, will be able to see her out of the "contestant" role.  This could lead to very good things for her.

Look at the Idol Website and see how much they're promoting Blake. They're promoting him almost as much as they're promoting Jordin and I'll bet anything he'll be appearing on the show this season. It seems as though there is definitely a problem between Idol and Katharine and I think this has hurt her popularity a lot. Actually, she's done very, very well in spite of it.

I believe this is something we'll never find out, there may have been some friction with Kat changing her management right after her CD came out that ticked off the AI brass; however, the AI folks know Katharine is well liked, and I do believe our voices were heard.  I know even fans of other AI contestants from Season 5 were wondering where Katharine was and why she was shunned, but let's move on from last season . . . I'm glad she will be returning and I'd love to hear her sing something on "Idol Gives Back Night," that's a ratings killer nite and she could sing "Reach out and Touch Somebody's Hand," or "What the World Needs Now is Love," anything would  be awesome for that night.  She also may have some new music in the works by April/May that she could perform, bottom line - she'll be back, but they better have Taylor, Ace, Blake and Bucky carry her out on Princess' cart (I don't know what you call those things) and give her everything she wants on her rider.  They definitely need to make it up to her, basically it was a slam not only to Katharine but also to the millions of people who voted for her, so get with the program Nigel Lythgoe and Simon Fuller!!

Similarly, i had a hunch last year that her change in management angered idol and caused her not being asked back.

I'm sure it's to pimp Randy's record but in the process it will be a good PR thing for Kat so I'm happy.

All I want for Christmas is a Kat Christmas CD!

Kat better come back this year because they are inviting that OBNOXIOUS Blake Lewis!  His cd sales were not good and his single didn't even make the Hot 100!

Nigel mentioned Kat & Ruben and they said last night that Ruben is doing something for Idol once the Top 12 starts sooooo....*hope* *hope* it would be really nice to see Katharine on that stage again.  Especially if they are inviting back Blake.  That's ridiculous if Blake gets to come back this year and Katharine is still left out in the cold.


"I saw Katharine McPhee when there were about 12 contestants left on American Idol. She blew me away. I loved her grace, her style, her poise, her voice and her hair! I wanted her to be the face of Sexy Hair because she represented everything that I had in my head for the brand: youth, beauty, talent, class, a young sophistication, and sexiness." -- Jim Morrison, CEO of Sexy Hair Products.

I think so, too. Maybe Kat will come as a surprise. But they must let her be on the show this year, I've read that news a couple of months ago already too. Yaaayyy.


Movie actors like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis make me want to live in the era they lived but I could have been just as inspired even now while I watch their work in films.

Do you think Kat will want to go back after the comments Simon made? I would love to see her perform and blow them all away. Being the caring, giving person she is I am sure she would want to be involved with Idol give back. I hope she does come back to stand strong and prove a point.

In order for Kat to come back for a visit,The "Bosses"have to go Nose to Nose With God #2.
We all know who that is.He really has something against Katharine that has never been revealed
I belive some sort of a campaign attack -We want the 'Kat Back"
on a Nation Wide Basis would be a big help.Swamping Foxe's switch board's and Email would be a start.

Any other Idea's ?
