Jan 11 2008Katharine McPee dropped by RCA

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.

McPee???

wow, she is so pretty!

Who the fuck is this bitch?

oh, come on. I like American Idol. Did I say that outloud? *turns Blake down on 1985 walkman cause iPods scare me*

She should just do porn already.

I wish the EXACT same thing, Fish, only not the John Mayer part. I like him..

Fucking hate the shit out of Nickelback and Hinder though!!!!

I thought this was a picture of Prince William's girlfriend.

Fish, sorry for calling you an asshole on the last post. I'd like to see that private plane crash too! Attention Nickelback fans you are all tools! That is all.

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.

McPee......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do like me some American Idol, though. The TV show, once it's over, I'm done with it.

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

American Idol??? That show is SOOOO gay!!! When does the new season start?

she's amazing. How many guys can escape such a charming face. I was told that she is trying to find lover at bimingle.com, hope she can succeed. NO one will refuse

As long as it's one step closer to porn for her. She's hot. And she digs middle age men.

WOW! What a revelation! The industry can't use you if you don't have a way of making them millions? Psh...They'll use you up and have you outta there quicker than shit thru a goose! Get a life you unamerican idols, you glorified karaoke whores!..It's a dying industry anyways, with all these downloading ipod fools out there...wow, it holds 100 gigabytes of music?! Great!!...until you drop it in the shitter or the HDD fails.

You really CAN care less?? Then you must still care a little bit, if you could care even less than you already do... You me you could NOT care less... Yes, I know, grammar crap that I'm sure you couldn't care less about...

Another American karaoke bites the dust. Kinda cute though - too bad this wasnt Brittney's fate.

rollingstone.com reported to usmagazine.com? That's reliable, professional news! I say cnn.com reports to tmz.com while spin.com watches.

Ironically in this case something regurgitated Katherine McPhee.


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 would make this chick scream like she was on a rollercoaster with no seat belt, or as I like to call it, cowgirl.

Oh, and I'd like to see her stick that microphone in her mouth.

#20 - HAHAHAHAHAHHA

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.

she is still my favorite idol contestant

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

;-P

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.

Hasn't Britney done something else by now?

#26--By golly, upon rereading I think you're correct! It's so often used incorrectly that I jumped the gun... Doh!

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.

6- FRIST, I'm taking a poll....Why do people hate Nickelback? I like a few of their songs (I'm embarrassed now).

Who?

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.

Don't go to "interracialloves.com" - none of the guys there tip or pay taxes.

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.

Can't stand Chris Daughtry, though. I throw rocks at cars that play his music. I hate his affected fucking vibrato!!!

She's so cute. Love her a lot. She seems to have a nice profile on a single's club named 'interracial loves. com'. She's attractive, sexy and popular there.

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).

McPee? shouldn't she be doing porn with Kim K.?

#30 I think FRIST was drunk and confused them with The Chipmunks. I don't like The Chipmunks either but I like Nickelback.

Is it because they're Canadian becasue I like RUSH too.

A better singles' club is thankgodforthesicklecell.com

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.

why do the fucktard spammers have to include half witted statements in their peddling?


um Val, ashlee simpson sounds the same live as she does recorded too. shouldn't that tell you something?

Nickelback just seem like wannabe somethings...I'm SORRY!!!

They are just a band you either love or hate. I'd just as soon set them on fire with kerosene..

I'm not DRUNK, I'm just big -boned!!!

Chris Daughtry's success is surprising. I never looked at Joe Camel and thought, "I bet he'd make a great rock singer."

Fuckin A' man... fuckin A

Nickelback is a great band...for me to poop on!

45 - Ahhh but the only instrument she can play is her boyfriends skin flute (guffaw!)

49 - Hence the nose job, she just wasn't playing that instrument well enough with her giant schnozz in the way.

I bet the local Domino's got a call right after Katherine got the news - 3 large pizzas, with extra grease to help it attain escape velocity on the return flight.

American Idol never was and never has been anything other than glorified karaoke on a national level. The people that subject themselves to this kind of exploitation... well I don't understand that at all. No self respecting actual artist would ever go on this fucking show. Hence the reason I never tried out of for it.

I also had the common decency not to be entertained by this mediocre crap. As a people, we deserve better. Unfortunately since none of us want to pay for it anymore, this is what we get. We have to figure out a way to fix or help the music industry, so we can have great performers again.

Somebody help!!

hahaha. thats funny i hate all the idol contestants they should all be gathered on the same stage at the same time and then the plane drops.. and on nickelback too. lol hes going to be the 'guest performer' at american idol. perfect! now somebody do that.

46 - thank you FRIST. And it's pronounced "big bone-ded" (haha) You're right though. Nickelback is like Patchoulli; you either like it or hate it. I think it's because I'm attracted to Chad Kroeger's monkey face looks

why in the hell does anyone watch American Idol? Seriously, it might be fun to watch the 'tards who are pathetic but to see someone who can sing good - who cares? Get this crap off of TV!

Same goes for the Bachelor, The Apprentice and dancing with B-List starts and the rest of these loser shows.

Yes, I love it! Can we book Fall Out Boy and Scott Stapp tickets for the flight as well??

@38 Val, I won't give you any shit for that admission. That had to be hard to do. Admitting your problem is the first step. I'm here to help, go put on some Stooges and Ramones and play at top volume. We're going to beat this thing damnit!

News update
The truth of the matter is ,

she was not dumped by the recpord Company because she could not sing, but as it turns out, because she was just impossible to deal with

According to the Spokes man of RCA,,Katharine McPee
The string of drug convictions finally took the toll on their patience. McPee's once promising career has been overshadowed by arrests, drug abuse and her fling with the singer PETE DOHERTY. Her un-predictable moody behaviour and rediculous demands, has meant many in the industry despair of dealing with her .

. An insider tells British newspaper The Independent On Sunday, "McPee was in the process of renegotiating a deal, but the talks broke down because it just proved to be so difficult to deal with McPee and the American Idol crew that she surrounds her self with."

After hearing the news, McPee screamed in an
hysterical outburst:
You can't drop me. I'm a fucking American Idol . How eeh fuck can you drop me??/??"

Shallow Val, I'm kind of a closet NB fan too. I know they border on being tools but I do love me some "Figured You Out." Hinder is complete garbage and their songs make me want to stab my ears until they bleed.

I bet if her boyfriend spent, I don't know, something like 7 or 8 hours consoling her tonight, he could get ATM. All of her energy now is tied up in feeling worthless and degraded, so she'll have a mindblowing orgasm during filthy sex. She'll cry like a baby afterwards, but he'll be done so he can sleep through it, and in the morning she'll act like it never happened. Neurotic chicks are the best.

Andrew

HUH?!

Unbelievable that these greedy executives actually expect creativity from these heaven sent "aritsts". A sad day in America. These people should be allowed to just show up at a recording stuido and sing old songs and get paid millions. We owe it to them to buy the same songs over and over and over and over and over again for all time.
Kat sings yesterday!
And all the Mary Poppins songs.
I hope Amy Swinehaus Kills herself too. Cunt ugly bitch spitting on her fans/losers. All of them just die.

Shallow Val, I'm kind of a closet NB fan too. I know they border on being tools but I do love me some "Figured You Out." Hinder is complete garbage and their songs make me want to stab my ears until they bleed.

I'm sure, in fact I KNOW there are plenty of bands you guys would ALL make fun of me for liking, so...to each his own..

53 "Hence the reason I never tried out of for it. "
Well, that and the fact that you're a talentless fuck. You can't even construct a sentence properly you fucking loser.
I'm so happy for you that you don't like American Idol. Thanks so much for bestowing your superior taste and knowledge on the rest of us poor ignorant plebes.
Can you also please tell me what I should eat and wear?
I am waiting for your profound knowledge to enlighten us in that area as well.

Auntie- Apparently, I need the 12 steps too. Not for NB, or assfuck hinder, but for my love of Idol. Come on guys, it's totally entertaining. The assclowns that think they can sing and get soooooooo shocked when simon tells them to shut the fuck up..... and then, last season, Blake made me think short guys might not be completely useless..

I know, I need help, but I don't WANT to quit yet..

Yeah, man! Fuck Nickelback! They're hardcore, man.. Nickelback should be castrated promptly, penis, as well as testicles, then buried alive in a pit of snakes.

It's hilarious, these fucking American Idol 'chumps'. Just because you can sing really well in the shower, doesn't mean you have sufficient talent to go out and record an entire fucking album.

Hey, you've been singing about sucking the Holy-Ghost's cock in your church's quire; you've never had any thoughts about becoming a professional singer but the woman with the blue hair told you that you should go 'to that show' because you 'might could' really win in 'the Hollywood'. That's a good enough reason for me! Do it! You'll be the one.

You gotta get wacky, though. Gotta make yourself look really different. Because you are, you're different. You're not like everybody else and the judges can see it in your eyes. Your passion. You're an individual. You've got what it takes: the look. Awe shit!

BTW, Hinder....never heard of them until today. should I even bother looking it up....if y'all tell me they suck then I will take y'alls word for it.....Holy shit, I'm channelling Brintey Spears y'all.

Oh, FRIST, yesterday one of the Trolls played a joke on me and made me feel bad. I TOTALLY fell for it. I'm going to be nicer to the posters from now on.

(lookign out window) Holy crap is it foggy over the Hudson today.

Actually Fish missed the harshest quote from an exec re: the Pee:

"We put millions behind Katharine. Many of us at the label still love her songs. But we're in the major leagues. We didn't think she could break into the mainstream. We would rather be honest."

Ouch.

All it's missing is, "Reached for comment, McPhee said "crunch crunch gulp crunch crunch gulp crunch crunch gulp ...burprrhuuuurrphft!!!...spit...spit... crunch crunch gulp crunch crunch gulp crunch crunch gulp...burprrhuuuurrphft!!!..."

I wanna shoot my mangravy all over her face so bad..........

eat shit and die

VAL!!!! Don't do it!!! Hinder makes your ears puke blood!!!!

Somehow i understood from God he sent you this UN-foodpackage for Christmas.Didn't you receive this?You should sent God a message and i'm pretty sure he'll finally give you something.

Wow, Richport, someone is MAD at you......I'd better scrollup and see what you wrote....

76 - ROFLMAO, I've missed you girl......(still laughing)...wait it might be the Salvia Divinorum I just smoked.....

Val, what did the troll do, and can you pass me that bong?

I totally agree with you!!!!!

I totally agree with you!!!!!

I think she needs to leak a sex video with her geriatric fiancee. It would get the 18-34 demographics as well as the 60 and over crowd.

whats wrong with nickelback?

80 - I dropped it and it broke after I took the second puff and drifted to Candyland....

#75 - Tourette's much?

#47 - You take that back my good sir! We all know Jay Z was the inspiration for Joe Camel.

I'm a dude, and will go on record saying John Mayer is legit.

Katharine McPhee is a dime, also!

I think you mean that you COULDN"T care less.

John Mayer played at Crossroads. Invited by Eric Clapton.
Nuff said

Read #16 and #26. You're about five hours behind the conversation, and also wrong.

#19

>>"Ironically in this case something regurgitated Katherine McPhee."

Even though the original version of this line was on the Simpsons, this is still the best comment so far.

Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!

Jebus save me! Oh fucking hell was I stupid. Val admitted to never hearing of Hinder, nor have I. I just had to find out. Frist said it will make ears puke blood. She's absolutely correct. I knew I was in for a doucebag experience right from the start at their homepage. Join the Hinder Army? UBER DOUCHES!!! It's the second coming of Creed, former lords of douchery!

She swallows.

Trust me. :)

I'm a fan to lots of musicians, comedians, actors, tv shows, etc. that I'm sure all kinds of people will berate me for. Personally, I think entertainment is a personal choice, whatever floats your boat, nobody should be chastised for liking something that isn't 'status quo' or 'cool' at the moment. If you don't like something, don't listen/watch/read it. Simple as that.

American Idol is a joke now. Ever since Carrie Underwood, no one has been successful. I also dont think its the artists fault. Its the shitty music thats written for them. Daughtry was smart not to sign with anyone else and make his own stuff. Sure it sucked but at least we heard his music. Raggin on John Mayer? Thats just not right. That guy shits talent. Listen to his Try! cd and tell him different.

Can I swap out Chris Daughtry with Fred Durst? Also, Paris Hilton for John Mayer? If there is room for Courtney Love and the Smashing Pumpkins too, that would be ideal. Well, we can all dream, right?

I LOVE the comment about Hinder, Nickleback & Daughtry! I have said the exactly words about all three of them and now my friends think I am writing for the Superficial blog!!!! Glad to see someone feels the same about all of them. They Suck!

She is pretty.

People, please stop watching American Idol so we don't have to endure an endless parade of these half-talent wanabes - enough already.

so, yes, its true that the majority (if not all) of american idols don't have talent. neither do 94% of today's pop artists. no big fucking surprise. it's still entertainment. and if it wasn't, you wouldn't be taking the time to pluck little snarky comments into entertainment gossip blogs. shazam!

If you can care less, it means you care to some extent. If you can't care less, then you really, truly don't care.

You're smarter than this. I know it!

I WISH AMERICAN IDOL AND OTHER "TALENT SHOWS" LIKE IT WOULD DROP OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! I'M SICK OF THESE KARAOKE SHOWS AND THE HIGH SCHOOL MENTALITY THAT COMES WITH IT. DOWN WITH "AMERICAN IDIOT" AND EVERY OTHER SINGING AND DANCING SHOW ON TV! THEY ALL MAKE ME PUKE!!!! MAY THEY BURN IN HELL FOREVER!

What is wrong with you Americans...

You CAN care less about American Idol?? So that means you really like American Idol and you can care much less than you do about it because you actually really care?

The saying is that you CAN'T care less or COULDN'T care less. As in "I couldn't care less about American Idol" because you hate it so much that it would be literally impossible to care about it any less than you do. Doesn't that much so much more sense?

This is the single stupidest American-ism, please stop the madness.

I wanna shoot my mangravy all over her face so bad..........

I am charle, a handsome man from us. i am just at the beginning of my career and want to seek a rich women for support, maybe to be my sugar momma..where should i start?? one day, i happened to browse a site, SugarmommyMeet where i found what i want and then i uploaded my photos under the name jasonlee , maybe you want to check out my photos !

no doubt that she is so happy ,and her new profile has just been accepted by http://pinkmingle.com , congratus... LO

I like Nickelback. I know have basically remade the same song over and over and over, I don’t care.

She looks like a nice girl, that's why the industry can't keep her.
Maybe she IS a nice girl, and she failed to meet expectations: won't fuck with the manager, won't take cocaine up her nose, and worse even, refuses to dress like a pole stripper. Impossible to make a decent video clip in those conditions.

Wow, there's nothing sexier then a dark hair dark eyed woman. It makes me warm instantly. SEXY. She is HOT, supermodel HOT.

The reason Mcphee hasn't progressed is not because of a lack of talent but a lack of brains. getting married to a 43 yr old daddy/pervert is not the way to win over fans

she had bulimia and was fat on the show. nice boobs, though

She's pretty, but she butchered the national anthem (surprise surprise.) Her awful warbling compounded the humiliating defeat we suffered at the orange bowl. Maybe I'll blame it on her like the Cowboys blamed Jessica Simpson for their defeat the day she was there. There was something kind of scary about her facial expressions. She looked Robo-Katie happy to be there. She should go back to theatre with those kinds of dramatics.

considering she's down to singing the anthem for bowl games no one cares about, I'd say that you all will be in luck with regards to her future in porn.

"Or even better; a private jet carrying Nickelback, Hinder and let’s say Chris Daughtry is the pilot"

MARRY ME!!

"Or even better; a private jet carrying Nickelback, Hinder and let’s say Chris Daughtry is the pilot"

MARRY ME!!

I found her on a celebrity and millionaire dating site called "wealthybeauty. com "or something. I forget the screename. I will check it outfor you guys and come out with the truth soon.
We only care how to find these celerbities.

Say what you will about American Idol, but Kathatine McPhee is still hot.

Hey vicky:

Hi there, I'm a loser with no life. I'm paid $3.50 per hour to post idiotic drivel, directing you to some lame dating website that takes your money and gives you nothing in return. I have no job, so I sit around all day and post this garbage on as many websites as I can under many different aliases. I don't have any friends, so I must rely on these moronic posts to make myself feel better about myself. My mother hates me and dropped me on my head as a child. You can find me at I'mAnIdiotTrollWithNoLifeAndShouldBeKilled.com
I heard Jamie Lynn Spears met her older man, I mean match, at this site.

Richromances.com and all those other fucking dating sites that get spammed around here are all registered to this asshole. Du Qiang ecomfun@aol.com 800 West El Camino Real, #180 Mountain View, California 94040 United States 650-906-0405


I can't wait for her inevitable decline into attentionwhoredom. Soon she'll be doing softcore porn and wondering why nobody takes her work seriously, just like how she did American Idol and wondered why nobody bought her albums.

Say what you will about American Idol, but I can totally imagine that microphone is actually a dildo.

"unless these artists can churn out strong enough original material, they don’t really have that much traction "

okay so you are holding a contest to find out who is the best SINGER, not SONGWRITER, and then you get disappointed when they don't poop the right color song? original material??? all you've had them do is sing other peoples' songs the ENTIRE SHOW. seriously, can this retardedness end, please.

Hey, editor, just thought I'd say you're a total asshole - and I could only hope that the plane - before it crashes - flies over your pisshole of a house and drops its shit tank right on top of your measly head.
