First you saw official snippets of Katharine McPhee’s new music video off of her highly anticipated new album “Unbroken,” and now comes the real thing!

K-Mac has had, shall we say, a less than successful music career to date, but hey, anyone can get a break now and then, right?

This video for her new song “Had It All” has me at a loss for words, really. Whose idea was it to make K-Mac a blonde? That’s the first real foible in the video.

Also, the intro is on the cheesy side. The lyrics are basically an encapsulation of her career in music. Did I mention the song was cheesy, too?

Well, it is. And I don’t think this song will do much for McPhee’s future in singing.

Brunette bombshell Katharine McPhee is usually a stone-cold stunner, but this new look of hers make her look like a heroin addict at best.

She adorned the new do for her new single, “Had It All,” which is a stark departure from her other music.

McPhee is a good artist, but this look has me wondering whose idea it was to make her go blonde.

It’s a testament to her beauty that she can look absolutely stunning as a brunette, because most can’t pull that look off.

McPhee is dark complected, and blondes don’t normally look great when they have a darker tone.

Unbroken will be the name of McPhee’s new album, and it will be her first since she did her self-titled album that was a flop. Let’s hope her sophomore album is better than the first, huh?

And whoever the person was that suggested McPhee go blonde should be shot on sight, no questions asked. Talk about ruining your image. Yikes!

Go back to Katharine’s brunette phase below, buy her album!

Katharine was back on the stage this past weekend and gave a nice, not overly dramatic performance of “America The Beautiful” on PBS.

The season 5 contestant has done more with her acting than with her singing–and got some publicity for marrying a guy twice her age–but she does have a loyal following and so you can’t take that away from her.
