Katharine McPhee - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas live @ Early Show

She's certainly hardworking. Katharine McPhee didn't even give herself a break this holiday season, plugging her Christmas album everywhere. Nevertheless, McPhee sang Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas incredibly sweetly on CBS' Early Show. But she needs a new stylist. ASAP. I am not a fan of that loungey-esque look for her, she's much better than that. Oh yes, Happy Boxing Day!

Katharine McPhee - Jingle Bells live on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno

Instead of performing her sombre ballad it's Not Christmas Without You, spreading some Christmas cheer was Katharine McPhee, singing her upbeat version of the holiday classic Jingle Bells. However, she looked a lot like a lounge singer at the start. And I need '07 McPhee back. Sure, sure this is better artistically but I need the commercial Katharine McPhee back so bad.

Katharine McPhee - It's Not Christmas Without You [Music Video Premiere]

I've been dying for this video to be released and now it's finally here. Looking like something she could've done back in 2007, Katharine McPhee's video for It's Not Christmas Without You harks back to the days of '07, when her pop/R&B flavoured album was doing pretty well (in its first week). First off, the hair is officially back, and she's showing skin in the video. That's very old McPhee of her. But as usual, McPhee sings bloody well and it's a really nice song to listen to, even if it's not Christmasssy.

Katharine McPhee - It's Not Christmas Without You + Interview

Doing some much needed promotion for her Christmas album, Katharine McPhee hit the FOX Red Eye Show in New York to perform It's Not Christmas Without You, her co-penned original Christmas song on the Christmas album Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You. She performed the song effortlessly and it was yet another fantastic vocal from the gorgeous brunette. Of course, McPhee also did an interview with them and it's the most comfortable I've seen her since her interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2008. And in 2007 on the same show.

Big News: 3 tracks streaming on Katharine McPhee's Facebook!

The music business has been really slow lately, but a couple small but nice things came up today. First, Katharine McPhee, as you know, is releasing her first Christmas record entitled Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You on the 12th October. A couple days ago, Amazon gave us a 30 second clip of each track but now, McPhee has premiered 3 new tracks in full on her Facebook. It's pretty interesting, and Jingle Bells is actually not cheesy and is pretty fun. The only original on the album, Christmas Is Not The Same Without You is a very beautiful ballad that showcases her gorgeous voice, and so does the title track Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You which showcases her pipes. Am liking what I'm hearing so far.

Big News: Mariah's Christmas album due in stores November!

Katharine McPhee's not the only one with a Christmas album due this year. R&B/pop diva Mariah Carey has a concrete release date for her second Christmas album, November 10th. The album will be the usual Christmas album fare, covers of classics, originals etc. but guess what? Her iconic Christmas single All I Want For Christmas Is You will be reworked! I hope the new version will be more diva-ish will all the vocal acrobatics. Personally, I think this would be good for Mariah despite the comparisons to her first Christmas album.

Oh, in other random Mariah news, she's apparently in talks to be a judge on the American Idol panel. No, no, no. This will hurt her career. Bring back Kara!
