Katharine McPhee premiered her blonde tresses and some new tunes a couple months back. And while the 2006 American Idol runner-up’s second album Unbroken is due out January 5, 2010, she’s hoping everyone’s in the mood for a little holiday McPheever ahead of that!
Kat’s rendition of yuletide classic “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”—which you can hear after the jump—will be made available digitally.
Well, that’s sweet, if not completely harmless. Katherine’s not the first Idol alum to tackle the festive standard—both Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks have taken cracks at it.
But to set herself apart, perhaps McPhee should have taken a cue from one of the edgier versions of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” to chime over the airwaves in recent years—like this cherished one by Twisted Sister and Lita Ford.
“she’s hoping everyone’s in the mood for a little holiday McPheever ahead of that!”
Did you come up with that on your own or copy it from the press release? At this point, I honestly don’t know which would be worse.
Thank GOD she didn’t take her cue from Twisted Sister…frightening!
She looks pretty bony in that first pic…
I love her version. . . I hope she records a Christmas album next year!
Katherine, no!
