The Season 5 Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Katharine McPhee, spent years after the competition ended being a hard working, struggling artist. She released albums that failed to connect with fans and she starred in B-Movies that didn't allow her to shine and utilize all of her real talents. But in 2012, all of that changed...
A new show premiered on TV that was going to be about the making of a Broadway musical from beginning to end. It would feature real singers and dancers performing original songs and choreography every week. It will be called SMASH!!!
Katharine McPhee was perfectly cast as the lead character on Smash who is auditioning for the Broadway show about the life of iconic actress Marilyn Monroe. Smash became the ideal platform to allow Katharine to fully display all of the impressive talents that were hinted at in Season 5 of American Idol, but are now out there for all of the world to see.
Each week we got to see Katharine's character develop from small town girl with a dream to Broadway Star in the making. Some week's all she did was stand and sing a beautiful ballad, while in others she would be in full Marilyn Monroe make-up dancing and performing in an elaborate production numbers being tossed about by hunky male dancers. Katharine effortlessly has risen to the occasion successfully accomplishing all of the acting, singing and dancing requirements of being on an amazing show like Smash. She has now fully transformed from being a struggling artist to being a STAR!
And that was just Season One of Smash. I can't wait to see what new heights she takes us to in Season Two!
2012 has been a great year for American Idol Superstar - Katharine McPhee!!
