Great review for a great video.

So sorry, not feelin da video!!!

The McFeever certainly intensifies with "Love Story"...

The stronger and more visible her image is all around, the bigger success she will be in the long run. Remember how unbelievably competitive the industry is nowadays - it is not all about singing anymore - image and direction are so key - as are smart career choices. McPhee's direction might be overly vampy with "Love Story", yet she is a vibrant young lady whose talents are unfolding right before our eyes. If she can be smart about being versatile in song, modeling, stage and film selections - it can only add to her longevity. Good for her!

It certainly worked for Madonna.

That's a weird review. Who's Jasmine Trias? Why put the stuff in on the end about insecure women? the only people that don't like her need to get laid? I think the people that like her need to get laid.
Everybody keeps saying she's supposed to be a pop star but it's not happening. Maybe the video will help but to me her voice isn't special enough.

It has nothing to do with "haters" that she is only selling 1k copies a week and "Love Story" flopped at Pop radio and already has a negative bullet. Say what you want about "haters", but the frustration should be placed on fans that aren't requesting and the buying public that aren't interested. If "haters" are personally running to every Radio Program Director and telling them not to play her song, then maybe they can be used as a cop out to McPhee's lack of success. Until then place the blame on McPhee and her team selling her as sex kitten and not a talented vocalist.

Love the last line in your article. Adding "jealous" insecure women would make it hit home even more. Ever notice there are no male Kat haters on the internet? Now prepare yourself for the onslaught of haters coming after YOU. Kat's most notorious hater and internet basher, someone who claims to be a law student and goes by multiple screen names will be here in a flash, I'm sure.

Unfortunately even stellar upcoming vocalists must work their image to be competitive - whatever it takes to gain fans & sell records.

Even among audio, we live in a visual age.

great review! Says a lot of what i'm thinking.
Now I can't wait for people to come here who don't like Kat and continue to discuss her and say "why isn't her 15 minutes up yet!!" uh...because you obsessively discuss her to the third degree.
And Clarra, Katharine has said herself the label wasn't pushing the single until the video came out. So LOL @ you if you think a song gets played on the radio with no label support.

What a strange review. Why so angry? I was actually fine with it until this last bit...

"-- no matter how many people hate on her without having a reason why (that's right, I'm talking to all you insecure women with low self-esteem and split ends who desperately need to get laid)."

She's definitely hot, but I can't say I find her terribly inspiring as an artist at this point (and I got laid yesterday).

I don't know why this couldn't have been written without the Daughtry mention. In fact, I wouldn't have been alerted to it without that mention (google alert, that is). So, you bring up the other idols (which will undoubtedly draw in other non-Kat fans who have google alerts for their faves) and then insult everyone who doesn't like her. It seems obvious that you only wrote those portions to cause trouble.

And one more thing...why, oh why, would Daughtry fans be bitter?

Of course male haters dont post objection to her "visual" tactics, she puts out and we love it...and we are "visual creatures"... As for her singing? I can take it or leave it.

I am a female recording artist in Nashville and I commend any woman who has the balls to simply go for it in today's music scene - especially in L.A. Who cares if Katharine McPhee is sexier than some - her image across the board will help sell records.

I am not a hater nor a real fan, but applaud her in your face ambition.

An average talent in a gorgeous body who's willing to sell her sex appeal.

She'll go for in this industry.

Sorry, not "for", FAR.

OMG - she is so hot in this video, I can't believe it. Everything about Kat McPhee says "Star Power"....she has the look, moves, and most importantly a FANTASTIC voice. McPheever is Rising!

You are SO right on...the people who hate her so hard are the ones keep her famous! Anyone who is loved and hated as much as Kat will continue to be a huge force...

You are right, I would not have gotten this if not for Chris' name in it. Wow ! Is this written by a REAL journalist or one of the FANATICAL McPhee Fans ? Sounds to me like the latter. Funny, I read very little in the review about the song, the music or the vocal talent, but only about the sex ! Sorry, if you compare this video to other girl videos that are out right now, this one looks cheap and tacky. But there has already been much talk on the VH1 boards about McPhee Fans using Computer Programs to vote her to the top. I guess Computer Programs don't work for Radio Play ! Embarrassing Review !

Great review and right on! This video and song are fantastic. It's Katharine's time to make it big. I agree with your comments on the stalkers also, except they aren't all women. It is really disgusting the way the same people feel a need to post negative comments on every blog, review or news article about Katharine McPhee instead of supporting someone they like. If only they could get the help of a mental health professional I'm sure they would be much happier.

Truth is >Bot voting caused a big problem between the fan bases.

There's no doubting the talent of Kat. I don't think that's her problem. She has a nack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. She has this air about her that just does not bring you close. I hope things start to fall into place for her. She has more talent than a lot of the other female artist today.

Salut té laite

can't agree more with the review

Great, honest review. It's refreshing to read.
Katharine made a wonderful video with Love Story. It has all the ingredients for a hit song, and she deserves it.

I actually like the song but wow the last line is downright offensive. I'm a huge fan of Angelina Jolie, one of the most beautiful women in the world, so by your logic I should hate Angelina too, right?

I guess there are alot of insecure women with split ends on the radio cause this song is flopping hard

pathetic review, and the song is bombing

Say it enough times and people do tend to believe the worst about it Katharine McPhee.

As far her fans requesting there do call, email to the stations but standard answer is given we can't play it or don't have the song. The problem is RCA is not willing to push the song in places it courts,
i mean going on today or the morning show isn't going to help the record company needs to promote it on the radio and having Kat do these concerts which only her fans go to doesn't help either of course Kat fans bought her album. RCA can't seem to do a good job when it comes to more than one idol per season.

Kat does deserve a hit and Love Story could be it. It is really strange that RCA is waiting so long to promote it for radio play. There is so much competition on Top 40 radio that songs just don't make it without advertising and promotion. I think that with a little push this could shoot up the charts, but time will tell. Give it a chance.

Really who is hating on this chick though? That video is WACK, WACK, WACK to the third degree. It was a bad imitation of Beyonce dance moves.

"That video is WACK, WACK, WACK to the third degree. It was a bad imitation of Beyonce dance moves"

Gee, even Beyonce had to start somewhere.

Give this girl a break, even when she was obviously not included anywhere on this season's AI finale - she still prevailed. These days it is all about the media for a new vocalist to soar - print, charting songs, good looks, interviews, marketing. Her talents, though not as polished as say Beyonce in the dance department, are there and have grown immesurably.
