I wasn’t the only one thinking it odd that Katharine McPhee never appeared on the sixth season of American Idol, despite many of her fellow fifth season finalists singing during the results shows throughout the season.

“Katharine called them herself, trying to get on the [finale],” a “source close to the singer” told Us Weekly on Wednesday.

The call was apparently unsuccessful, as McPhee did not appear during last week’s sixth-season Idol finale. Of course, McPhee’s snub probably wouldn’t have been as bad if many of the rest of Idol’s fifth-place finalists hadn’t been featured throughout Idol’s sixth season run.

While McPhee was nowhere to be seen during Idol’s sixth season, seventh-place finisher Kellie Pickler performed “I Wonder,” a single from her debut album “Small Town Girl,” during Idol’s sixth-season Top 16 semifinalists results show and third-place finisher Elliott Yamin performed “Wait for You,” a song from his recently released self-titled debut album, during the sixth-season’s penultimate results show.

Then, during last week’s final set of sixth-season Idol broadcasts, fourth-place fifth-season finisher Chris Daughtry performed “Home” — the ballad that also served as the background music Idol’s sixth-season eliminations — during the last Tuesday’s final sixth-season performance episode and fifth-season champ Taylor Hicks also performed “Heaven Knows,” a track from his self-titled debut album, during Idol’s Wednesday night sixth-season finale.

I would have much rather seen Katharine than Kellie Pickler, although Kellie’s new chest size certainly brought a lot of attention to the show she appeared on. Does this mean Katharine needs to get a boob job if she wants to perform next season on Idol?
