‘American Idol’ season five runner-up Katharine McPhee spoke with Fox411 at VH1′s Save the Music Big Shopping event, where she had nothing but nice things to say about meeting Fox News host Greta Van Susteren while taping a special for Fox News that airs over Thanksgiving.
“I love, love Greta! I always watch her show and I really enjoy watching Fox News,” the singer/actress revealed. “Greta is so petite in person. After watching her on TV, I thought she was going to be this tall woman. I think Greta is so easy to talk to and she has such a kind way about her.” Read more.
Katharine McPhee recorded a video clip after doing her Walmart Soundcheck performance, which will be available to view at soundcheck.walmart.com on January 1st. “As you can see my feet are hurting me from these high heels, so I’m sitting on the floor,” the ‘American Idol’ season five runner-up says. “It was really fun and I hope you guys check it out in January.” Watch the brief video below.
Anthony Jones of Celebrity News Service caught up with Katharine McPhee in a Q&A, asking the ‘American Idol’ season five runner-up what’s her favorite song on her second album ‘Unbroken’. “I’ve been really connecting with the song ‘Surrender’ that I wrote with Ingrid Michaelson and Marshall Altman,” McPhee responded. “Well, I’m one of the writers so I would hope I’m connected to it. But it’s about wishing you could see yourself the way someone else sees you and loves you. Girls struggle with, and I struggle with, self-appreciation, self-love. That’s probably my favorite song lyrically. But from starting to promote the songs, I think my favorite right now is ‘It’s Not Right’, the first song on the album. I’m having a blast singing the single too, ‘Had It All’, so that’s definitely a top contender. I really truly do love all the songs. That’s a good position to be in, when you love all your music.”
