From PulseMusic.com member OneShot:

"An insider says that she is working on a dance for the music video. With Over It starting to peak, they are most likely thinking of a new single, and with all the signs pointing to Open Toes, I think this is it."

Of course this is only a rumor at this point. Either way, we'll have to wait until late April/ early May to find out.

This rumor corresponds with the music reviewers whom a few months ago predicted that "OPEN TOES" would be a summer smash hit for KatharineA well produced music video would be DYNOMITE!!
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.Others stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. That my friends is Katharine McPhee

Open Toes has the potential to be a great dance tune. And a dance video has a much greater chance of success. Hmmm, Kat dancing... isn't that grand!

I just love hot rumors!
And if this one proves out I will be quite pleased.  I think the vocal
on Open Toes is outstanding and it is a very cool song too.

I guess its just me, but I hope the next single is NOT "Open Toes"....
I think there's much better potential in Not Ur Girl, Each Other, Love Story and Home...
3 of these are currently playing in theatres, so I was hoping one of those three would be the next single...

I agree, but the whole album with a few exceptions is not the best showcase of her talents.  I'd like to get her in my home studio to show the so called "master producers" how it should be done.

It's a shame but the complexion of the current music scene is that style almost always wins out over substance.

Open Toes may not be the best choice as the next single, but it definitely is the best choice as a music video.

I am very much a fan of Open Toes, but, I think a transition song like Not Ur Girl or Each Other, before singling Open Toes, would very much be the safe way to play it and there is nothing wrong with playing it safe.  Home, in my opinion,  would be a step in the wrong direction,  a ballad at this point would be a step back toward the "Idol Katharine" image that RCA has been assiduously remaking.

Rest assured that the people who produced this album could make an album that showcased Katharine's voice and that was never the goal for them or for Katharine.  Ordinary World, perhaps the greatest "showcase" of Kat's voice on the album ,is Katharine's least favorite song and I doubt is because of the somewhat corny lyrics.

The goal was to create music that was interesting enough to stand up to sustained, saturated radio exposure.   So it has to have have enough Pop hooks to make it easy to pick up, but just enough complexity to keep people from getting bored in short order.

Katharine's gift for using the intimate, emotional vocal as a hook is really something that isn't going to play on TOP40 radio, at least from what I've heard on there.  Even the songs that have emotional lyrics are sung in in a snappy upbeat way.    So pretty much take the ballads off the table, they are there and add a lot to the CD but are non-starters in the current radio environment.

What I really love about Katharine's CD  is that  her  "natural gift" substance very much shines through the "current pop radio environment" style that many of the song were constructed in, at least to my ear.  In fact steering clear from the excesses (say for example Katharine rapping or Danja rapping, ect.) in vogue now could cut either way, helping or hurting the album.

I, too, hope this rumor is just that. I think Not Ur Girl would be the best choice for the next single because it would have more cross-demographic appeal. This song has a basic rock beat and would be unique compared to what's out there today. I also agree that thev reviews would probably be not too favorable because of the sheer frivolousness of the lyrics.

Right now it's about moving units, and Open Toes is the song that's gonna do it.  Critics may pan it, but EVERYONE will be talking about it.  This song has hit written all over it.  It's been the most talked about song on the fan message boards since we first heard it.  When people hear it it grabs their attention, and most importantly, they remember it.  I am 100% convinced this will not only be the next single, but it will be the one that has the most impact of any single off this ablum, and will establish Katharine's place amongst today's biggest pop divas.  The second album will be the one that separates her from them.

When I saw this thread about her next single being Open Toes, I was kind of shocked. I thought her next single was going to be Love Story. I hope it's just a rumor.

Well said Mark, I share your feelings on this subject. 'Open Toes', regardless of how it is perceived by critics, is the one song that has constantly stayed in my head from the first day I heard it.

I can see the excitement talking about the second single but ...

let's not forget Over It is still climbing up the chart. SO don't forget to keep on requesting it still.

Someone on IDF supposedly knows a choreographer that's putting something together for Kat.  As we saw on the AOL sessions OT is tough to sing live when you're moving around and getting out of breath.  It'll be interesting to see how they work it out.  I imagine there will be backup dancers doing most of the dancing so Kat can concentrate on the singing.  Perhaps there will be a musical break when Kat can put down the mic and get her freak on.
