Katharine McPhee can sing

American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee, whose vocal talents were second only to her amazing cleavage, just released her first single off her new album since finishing the Idol contest. The reviews were mixed. And by that I mean, it sucks.

Anyone expecting to hear the young woman who wooed audiences on American Idol will be sorely disappointed.
The mid-tempo dance song never really goes anywhere interesting and Kat’s voice is buried in an over-produced web of synthesizers, unimaginative drum machine programming and processing.

Don’t get me wrong; Kat has a great, natural voice. It’s just that you can barely hear it.

As for the song’s melody – well, there hardly is one. The song’s loud, thumping bass drum and tinny snare accents overwhelm any significant song structure or harmony….

Think Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl,” only more insipid, repetitive and nauseating. (source)

Notwithstanding the fact that the music industry has reduced the production process to pushing any idiot in front on a mic for 6 hours and auto-tuning the vocals to the point where even the singer can’t recognize their own voice, this brings up an important point. Why listen to a girl when you can stare at her amazing chest and nod? Oh that and, American Idol is a popularity contest not a singing contest and there is no real need to record a Katharine McPhee album. Sure she can sing, but my pet monkey can kind of sing, but he doesn’t look as hot in a low cut blouse and hot pants, now does he. But don’t tell him that. He’s sensitive. Pussy.
