Idol Chatter & Voice Views

New music Tuesday is here, and, in addition to David Archuleta’s new Christmas album, there’s a new video from the now-blond Katharine McPhee to check out.

The song is “Had It All,” and it’s off her second album, “Unbroken,” now due out Jan. 5. The single is already available from iTunes.

It just might be the best single yet from Kat, Idol’s season five runner-up to Taylor Hicks. And it’s co-written by, guess who?

That’s right: Idol judge Kara DioGuardi.

Here’s a video of Kat talking about the new song and that Idol connection. You’ll find it right after the official video for “Had It All.”
