Katherine McPhee: Getting warmer...

Last night's American Idol brought more of the same...Elliott pretended to be black...Chris pretended to have a soul...Taylor proved yet again why he is THE most charismatic mentally handicapped person since Chris Burke.

Only three things stood out for me...First, Paris Bennett trying to update herself by covering Prince and Mary J. Blige. The Mary was okay, but no dice on the Prince - only Prince can pull off Prince. Anyway, I'm tired of her constant simpering. I think she's the next to go.

Second, Paula Abdul seemed sober. So that's a HUGE relief.

But third, and most important, is the transformation of Katherine McPhee. She was a Plain Jane at first, but the apple-cheeked Californian has really blossomed lately. Maybe she was initially overshadowed by this year's unprecedented hottie crop, but I don't think so. Need proof? Here you go:


Meh


A little makeup goes a long way sometimes...


Emerging from the cocoon last week, into...


Full-fledged hotness! I believe I may have a touch of the "McPheever"...
