This should give us all more of a reason to prove them wrong.
I find it so funny how people are so easy to judge people they don't know, but think they have the right to scrutinize others because those "others" are celebrities. From Britney Spears to Katharine McPhee radio hosts and magazines will always make unfair statements and allegations. I am fans of both Britney and Katharine, two totally different artists, but I find that whether you are a icon or a promising newcomer from a hit reality show, the punches and jabs will come and never stop...but I have news for the haters, they won't stop either so you can take your opinions and give them to people that care, because the fans are like, SO over it.

I saw this thread before showtime early this evening--and thought maybe some alternate feed of the show was going out overseas. After all, they frequently edit things in (or out) of the shows to make it appear cohesive. Who's to say whether some of the performances (such as Gwen Stefani's tonight) weren't done at an earlier date to make it easier on schedules? I guess it could be argued they could have done that with Kat too--considering Daughtry's performance the other night was rumored to be taped in advance and spliced into the show to look like he was there at the same time.

After the dust settles, I'm sure Kat will be addressing what happened here in upcoming interviews. It appears to me she's making a concerted effort to not say ANYTHING about it...because she's had some opportunity to, but hasn't. Perhaps she's holding her tongue if it's true the family is upset she wasn't asked. I just feel that there must be more to it than that cut and dry situation. It's probably something that needs a lot of explanation, and perhaps Kat's waiting for one herself.

Maybe Peisha's getting tired of getting emails about this. I wrote her a few nights ago about the situation, but I remembered she'd be busy getting ready for her shows this weekend in NYC. She's probably not even home in L.A. right now.

We know Kat's still happy with the direction of her career and she's feeling well. Those pictures of her at the Maroon 5 album release party shows how she's in a good place right now about herself. Let's just keep that in mind and realize her future still looks fairly assured of superstardom. It'll take a little while (that happens with some superstars yet to become a superstar), but she'll get there. When it comes to showbiz--it can become a true maze on where to promote yourself. Kat has some of the best marketing forces behind her of any debut artist anyway...which means the sky's the limit on all other media Kat can appear in for the rest of the year and beyond.

I agree 100%, Bill, the entertainment industry, unlike any other, has its measuring sticks and meters for success and as it happens, Daughtry had huge success with their debut album.  The American Idol/RCA partnership is about spawning superstars and unfortunately Katharine doesn't yet fit into that category.  In fact, her album hasn't been certified gold as yet by the RIAA.

The previous season's runner-up is rarely invited back.  Have we seen Justin, Diana or Bo?  I don't recall.  Clay was back 3 years later for season 5.

Its funny how this year I had little interest in American Idol. I zipped through my DVR recording last night hoping to catch Kat performing. I didn't bother to watch any of the other former idols singing..........

Yes, PLEASE calm down people.

AI is a business involving many people, and so is the entertainment entity of Kat McPhee. And as in all business decisions there are many minute details that determine the outcome. But it is seldom 'personal' reasons that make a difference.

So it's not quite as simple as being 'snubbed' for a party invite. And Kat saying publicly that 'she would love to do the show if asked'' means little in real world negotiations. Given time, we may find out the  actual circumstances and reasons behind the decision. Until then it's better not to judge too harshly on conjecture.



Sorry.... I have to call you on that one.  It's all about personalities and MONEY.  I'm not saying that Kat wasn't on Idol this year or other functions because she is difficult, but Personality always plays a role when the powers to be determine who will be on a certain TV show or make an appearance.

It basically comes down to who is going to make us the most money for the least amount of hassle.  I know it's a jaded view of the entertainment business, but it is more true than not.

As some of us here have suspected for quite some time, Kat's management team(s) is NOT doing her right. It has been a comedy of errors from the outset. Not having (initially) SOTR on her first single before changing their mind. Failure to find her genuine hits for her album. But worse have been the marketing efforts. Can't believe Pickler got more publicity from AI than Kat. That was the ultimate proof of incompetance.

And what Clive did last night was unthinkable and unforgiveable. it's cool to praise Daughtry...he deserves it...but to do it and at the same time, take a stab at Kat? That's totally unprofessional and uncalled for.

Is it true that Katharine's CD has not been certified GOLD by the RIAA? I thought Peisha previously had indicated this was to take place! I wonder if Paula Abdul's jealousy had any impact on Kat's non-appearance on Idol this season?

fwiw, my $0.02...

As others have said (but not elaborated on)...

The timing was never quite right for Kat to appear. I don't think OI had hit the Top 40 by the time Pickler appeared, so Pickler was a more obvious choice to appear. Then came Idol Gives Back, and from that event AI built a catalog of performances by established stars that they then showcased on Results night for several weeks after, absorbing all of the slots that might have gone to Katharine.

How to explain Elliott's appearance then, and not Kat, late in the season? Again, I think timing was an issue. Elliott's album was fairly new, making it a current story. Kat's CD had been around, shown itself to be of middling interest to music consumers, and her single OI was on the downside of its run. There just wasn't a hot story. Probably most important, no new single was currently in play at that time. It would have been odd, imo, to have her sing a song that hadn't even been released for adds.

I would also say, if there was a
