Katharine McPhee
How Kat didn’t win season five and only was a runner up is still beyond me. I mean, seriously, the woman has killer pipes. She’s had four successful albums and has also established a highly successful acting career (in films like The House Bunny and shows like Scorpion). Currently she’s working on her fifth album and just made her Broadway debut.
