Another Idol Loser DROPPED!

Katharine McPhee has been dropped by her record label!

The singer came in second on American Idol, losing out to Taylor Hicks, who also recently was dropped by his label, as was other Idol champ Ruben Studdard.

The Idol machine is failing.

As the new season is set to debut….

Are you looking forward to the return of American Idol????

The auditions are ALWAYS nonstop entertainment. At least they aren't as bad as America's Next Top Model! Those girls virtually fall off the face of this Earth once they award the winner.

ABSTOLUTELY!!! These record labels must be getting ready to fold or something. They've not given Taylor or Katherine enough time to prove themselves. I wish I had a record label; I'd sign both of them in a heartbeat!

First Comment on Perezhilton.com!

Why is AI dropping all these (artists??) lately? Are they trying to conserve some mulah? Do they think AI has reached the highest point of its run?

I think this season is really going to hurt, at least in comparison to EVERY OTHER season. hmmm.

I always believed from the very beginning that American Idol only produces a sound that is a dime a dozen these days. They aren't really producing something that is unique or worthwhile.

Hell no! I hate American Idol! Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are the only ones with any REAL talent! FOX takes off 24 and we all get to watch American Idol instead! Pass

Hello Perez! I never left a comment before but when it comes to Idol, I MUST. It's not American Idols' fault these people don't do good after the show ends. Most of them never should have been the winners or runners up anyway. I think the upcoming season is going to be as fun as the past ones have as long as we don't have any of that Sanjayah BS….kisses***

well she does have a good voice, but her music just isnt that good, everyone is into the remix/techno/ upbeat type music, and her isnt any of that, but no im not looking forward to american idol this year, its getting worse every year, so yeah i think ppl are over that show
t says – reply to this

american idol needs to just get off the air because how entertaining is it really? it's a waste of everyone's time and only really benefits the judges who we all need to admit we are so sick off (simon is a rude smart ass who doesn't seem to deserve to be that way (unlike janice dickinson who actually had a successful career and therefore knows what you need to make it), paula is a hasbeen crackhead/alcoholic/whateverdrug-ic, and the fat black guy forgot his name because he is just that significant.

i think the actual contestants may have had a slight shot (because they don't suck) if they just tried to work with coaches and what not but not wasted time believing they could make it through this stupid contest. all it really does is makes listeners and record labels take them less seriously (like most people tend to do with people who have been on reality shows) and having been on a reality show such as american idol is hard thing to reverse to improve an image.

Does anyone even care or want to hear her music??? Or any of the others??
Bring REAL music back, for fuck's sake!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah, 20th bitches!!!
REAGAN says – reply to this

46

American Idol needs to just stop. there is no real talent on the show, people just fall for the person who happens to sing the best in that select few chosen to be seen by the public. I am actually kinda sick of them ruining the music industry slowly with crap music. where have the true artists gone ? Martin, Sinatra, People who can last and sustain a music career. It's all one of two hit wonders these days… it's sad.. we are not going to have any Music Legends… when the current legends start to die off.

They need to do something to revive this show. I used to love it, but I couldn't bear to watch the last season…BORING

It ain't Idol's fault that no one wants to buy these kid's records, they just suck. Idol is a great show and franchise though. Just think Perez, you should start "American Glory Hole", that way you would have a better reason to suck!

i only watch the first few audition/train wreck shows and then i'm done. the "real" compititon is a sham.AMERICAN IDOL SUX
sandman says – reply to this

60

I was a little surprised, but not shocked. In as BEAUTIFUL as she is/was, there's NOTHING special about the voice:( Note to myself: AI is DONE AND OVER WITH! The first couple years was more about singing and less about the FAKERS who just wanted to be on TV. It's taken me a couple seasons (too many) to face the reality that it's more about the 'tweens, 'fakers & product placement than about talent. Reminder to myself: NEVER 'EVER' tune in (and end up getting hooked) to AI again! Even cheap entertainment has it's price, and I promise not to sink so low again. I'd rather watch paint dry, because at least that's real, as apposed to the 'bogus voting system being sold/force fed to the masses. And I know the show will never limit 1-vote per number/person, because it's all about how much they can charge for the number of viewership perported ("last night America cast 50-million votes") Sounds good to sponsors, but for it in no way represents the audience volume/numbers, but it sounds good so they run with it. Besides; who in their Right Mind would want to have to endure the RETARD that is Paula Abdule ONE MORE SECOND!?!

61

The only good part of American Idol is the beginning couple of episodes, where all they show are the really bad people, because it makes you laugh. After that its just boring. Anyway, Katharine McPhee was actually decently good, I have a couple of her songs.
ss794 says – reply to this

62

The show is so over. The best part would be to see the horrible ones make it to the end. It really doesn't matter any more where one places - Daughtry, Hudson.
Candice says – reply to this

I'm only looking forward to the auditions..the rest I don't watch
lala says – reply to this

64

omg, NO ONE thought that mcphee had talent anyway. her FORMER label is better w/o her! the only reason she was "famous" was b/c of her "weight problem" and how well she capitalized on it. give it up A. idol, you should've put this wannabe, no talent hack in the REJECTS part of your show.
American Eye-Doll says – reply to this

65

She is good and hot too. Sadly not many people are looking to buy a new version of Over The Rainbow. All these folks dropped, they don't know who they are as entertainers, have to establish an identity.
Coke-O says – reply to this

66

If you watch American Idol, you are a follower and a loser. Period. Keep believing in the opinions of a no-talent who didn't even sing on her records, a fat bass player who thinks he's cool, and a limey loser whose greatest accomplishment has been putting together fake bands comrised of people who literally can't sing. LOL!

Be sure to DVR The Hills while you're at it, lemmings!
Christine says – reply to this

67

Unfortunately they don't have the right songs. They are talented but have no showcase. Look at Daughtry… he knew what he wanted and went out and got it. He's very lucky that he didn't win Idol. They probably would have had him singing showtunes or some type of pop shit. I don't think they (the Idol execs) will allow enough artistic freedom for these singers to really blossom.

Hm… didn't thinkit would happen to her. Maybe we need another Carrie…??

American Idol has gone downhill after Carrie Underwood won. She was basically the last best thing. Come to think of it, only her and Kelly Clarkson were good. The show should either end or only come every other season
Adam says – reply to this

she was a runner-up, runner-ups only get one album deals right away.

so you can't say she was dropped.

Dan says – reply to this

73

Darn! Her album was a solid effort. I bought it and really like it. In my opinion, she goofed big-time in not releasing "Each Other" as a lead single. I hope she gets another record deal with another company. As far as Idol, they need to change the format, where callers can only cast ONE vote, instead of calling in multiple votes. That would correct the voting problems where contestants like Daughtry and others were inexplicably eliminated too early, and restore credibility to the contest. Though I strongly believe that McPhee deserved to come in near the top!
Fantasia's #1 Fan!!! says – reply to this

74

Who cares if Fantasia can't make it on time to her broadway show - she can sell some albums!!! She has been quite successful if not MORE successful than Carrie Underwood (who is still my girl because we are both from Oklahoma!) but what has Carrie done outside of drop two albums? As far as I am concerned the ladies rule AI Kelly, Fantasia, and Carrie! They are the biggest success stories.

it's not American Idols fault…it's just the record industry…HELLO no one buys CD's anymore…why should anyone when you can just illegally download it for FREE…as for the success of the first AI's it's just because they joined the bandwagoon b4 everything got all shitty in the industry…things are only going to get worse for new breaking through artists…
I love Kat says – reply to this

80

I'm sad they didn't give her more of a chance! Some great talent has come from AI, Kelly Clarkston, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Chris Daughtry, Elliot Yamin, and my personal current favorite Jordin Sparks.

I can't wait for the new season to start, well once it gets past the crappy auditions anyway!
me says – reply to this

81

Good she sucked..i never did like her…The only reason half of these people win or come close to winning american idol is not because they are "stars" it is because people get wrapped up in the hype and the excitement of it all and it is nothing but a big popularity personality contest…when the hype of the season is over, the "winners" of the show go back to being nobodys.

She may have been dropped, but she's working on her second album with DAVID FOSTER, and has a MOVIE coming out in the summer, as well as THREE OTHER MOVIES that she has signed on to be in..including one directed by the COEN BROTHERS.

So I'm not worried.

OH Noooooo,,They're AMERICAN IDOLS for chrissakes!!!!

85

Can't wait for American Idol to begin again! Love the show - love watching the final 10 improve (or not!) each week. Love Simon, Randy (Dog) is OK even if he is a little "pitchy" - tolerate Paula when she is too nice and too loopy. Dislike the initial auditions when they make fun of obviously disturbed, "several notes short of a scale" and vulnerable/fragile kids. I think it is great that the people get to vote on who they want to hear and it is not left up to some record company executives to decide what we want to hear. In addition, all record labels are having problems now. I think they are marketing to the wrong audience.

Well there you go. Elliot Yamin wasn't offer a contract, yet his debut album on an independent label is already gold and probably gonna go platinum soon. Take that Clive
4cap says – reply to this

89

I "stopped out" and quit watching idol for the third and fourth season and then came back for the Daughtry season and last season. Were it not for Blake Lewis last season, I don't think I would have kept watching at all. The biggest problem with Idol is that they are just looking for singers (and belters at that) rather than performing artists. I firmly believe that if made Idols sing their own songs, even just once, they may get better results when it came to CD sales. And if they made them perform with a band? That might lead to good concert sales.

I will tune into AI7 because I'm hoping they'll get a clue and figure out that the audience really does need to know the contestants.
Pip says – reply to this

Re: LISA – Past winners (Ruben and Taylor) have been dropped, as well. So apparently it isn't just a matter of "these people didn't win for a reason." People who didn't win have gone on to be extremely successful (Daughtry, anyone?)

Well the people being dropped are the ones who havent dont shit all. I havent heard anything from hicks fatman or boobies ever. Obviously they get dropped if they aint do anything its hardly american idol itself… you got jordin sparks doing well now, Carrie Underwood is doing amazing and so is Kelly Clackson. these are all te good ones that have promise, the ones that got dropped have nothing
