American Idol – McPhee Latest, Dumped But Married

The last few months for Katherine McPhee have been the “good news or bad news” type, and it appears she wanted the good news last. The runner-up on American Idol just year a half ago to Taylor Hicks, recently she was dumped by American Idol’s record label, but she also married her longtime beau.

Around the same time that Hicks and fellow past winner Ruben Studdard were being dumped by J Records, McPhee was dumped by her label, RCA. Both labels are part of the parent company, Sony/BMG. It was understandable, however, that she was let go, as she only sold 350,000 copies of her first album. For the money that is dropped on American Idol the show, and the artists signed in the number one and number two spots, this simply wasn’t good enough. Of course, like with Hicks and Studdard, there are many other things that went into it other than album sales, with many people to blame all around, and many sides to the story.
