Katharine McPhee’s single, "Over the Rainbow/My Destiny" made it’s chart debut this week. So, here are the numbers:
According to Billboard Biz.com, Katharine McPhee’s single sold:
47,000 – Physical Singles
28,000 – Digital Singles
———-
75,000 – Total Sales

Since digital sales were not around for the first few Idols I do not consider it total sales, so I am saying McPriss only sold 47,000 singles.
I am also wondering if her lack of sales might be a karma thing? Because the below picture was taken on Sunday with her boyfriend in Laguana Beach and she does not look all that sick. Do you think she looks so sick that she was not able to perform yesterday (3 days later) in New Hampshire with the other American Idols? Just asking?

Bo Bice likes being out of the Idol spotlight |

With another edition of "American Idol" having come and gone, Harold "Bo" Bice is no longer the mega-popular TV reality series’ reigning runner-up — a development he’s actually quite happy about.
"I was kind of wondering how that would feel," says Bice, 30, the Southern rock belter who finished second to Carrie Underwood on the fourth "Idol" season. "I felt we’d just be swept under the rug and forgotten about, but that hasn’t been the case."
"But I also enjoy the fact that people don’t just identify me as Bo from ‘American Idol,’" he continues. "Now they identify me as Bo, the guy who’s on TV with the video, the single ‘The Real Thing,’ and an album and everything. Our fans aren’t just ‘American Idol’ fans; they’re Bo Bice fans now, so that means a lot to me."
But Bice is proud that fellow Alabaman Taylor Hicks took the "Idol" title, and he feels like he paved the way a bit for some changes in the show that benefited this year’s class.
"This year’s show, Taylor’s up there playing harmonica and there’s some other guy playing guitar, and I thought, ‘Wow, that’s what I tried to do last year, and all I got was, ‘You can’t do that, this is a singing competition,’" Bice says. "People were like, ‘Wow, they’re breaking the molds,’ but they weren’t breaking the molds to me. They’re breaking the rules that they made us work under. So I’m just glad to be away from it all so I can do what I want."

And we feel the same way. I tried to find a hit on his first (and only) album and there was none to be had.

Katherine McPriss misses first Idol show |

As the young finalists from "American Idols Live" kicked off their U.S. tour Wednesday, word that runner-up Katharine McPhee was sidelined with severe bronchitis and laryngitis disappointed fans.
"It bummed me out," concertgoer Gail Johnson said.
Manchester’s Verizon Wireless Arena announced McPhee wasn’t performing at the concerts Wednesday and Thursday night; her doctor, Sean Nassari, ordered "total voice rest."
McPhee said in a statement that she was disappointed she couldn’t perform, but "I need to follow my doctor’s orders to recuperate and reunite with the rest of the idols."
She said her doctor told her she needed to remain silent. "That’s the most difficult part, not talking!" McPhee wrote.
McPhee, 22, lost the most recent round of the superpopular singing competition to Taylor Hicks.

I bet you a K-Fed penny there is more to the story!

Clay and Ruben attend Clarkson concert |

One of our stalking pirates spotted Clay Aiken, at Kelly Clarkson’s concert on Monday: “Last night, in a highly choreographed public outing, Gayken took in the Kelly Clarkson concert in Raleigh, NC., with fellow Idol contestant Rueben Studdard. So choreographed was the apperance that after entering the venue Gayken and Rueben took time before the show to stand up and wave to the crowd. What perhaps was more interesting than the appearance though that has the fans in a tizzy was the notable absence of Gayken’s typically ever-present WWJD bracelet and the presence of mysterious unamed but very visible guy sitting next to Gayken all night (lending more credence to the “rumors” of the type of guys Gayken likes). The best ever though, watching Gayken sing along with Miss Independent. Priceless!
Yeeeah
Wonder why Clay and Ruben did not sit next to each other?

Hicks crush says he was like a brother. |

NEW YORK – Two weeks after Taylor Hicks discussed his first crush as a young boy, the woman from his past has contacted People magazine.
The "American Idol" winner told People in a recent interview that he never forgot his first crush: "I was in the second grade; she was in the sixth." He added that ever since, he’s always liked older women.
After reading the article, the woman, Christy Lee Worsham, called People. She’s now married, and was surprised she had made such an impact on Hicks.
"He was such a fun kid," Worsham, 32, said. "I’m married. But I’d like to reconnect. He was like a brother to me."
Hicks, 29, was ranked as the "hottest bachelor" by People earlier this month. He then said he was on the lookout for another love interest: a mystery blond woman he briefly exchanged glances with on an airline flight.
A spokeswoman for People, who set up an e-mail and mailing address to help track her down, said Thursday there had been no luck yet.

I guess if she is 32, it is proof Taylor is 29?
