Katharine McPhee's classic good looks and voice and affinity for traditional pop transformed her into a star. Once McPhee made American Idol's final 12, her performances of songs such as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" made her one of the favorites of American Idol judges and viewers. After the American Idol season ended, McPhee was signed by 19 Recordings Limited label and released her first single, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/My Destiny." It became the second best-selling single of 2006. That summer, after bouts with bronchitis and laryngitis, she joined the rest of the finalists and Hicks on the American Idols LIVE! tour and also toured with Andrea Bocelli, who appeared on American Idol as a guest judge. McPhee began recording her self-titled debut album in the fall, working with collaborators such as Timbaland's production partner, Nate "Danja Hand" Hills, Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, and songwriter Kara DioGuardi. "Over It" arrived a few weeks before her album was released in early 2007. In 2010, McPhee returned with the holiday-themed Christmas Is a Time...To Say I Love You.
