Blake Lewis was dubbed the Katharine McPhee of American Idol season six. The reasoning behind the label was that the theory is that both singers only made it to the American Idol finals because of their gender. Blake outlasted quality singer and performer Melinda Doolittle and Katharine dumped both Chris Daughtry and Elliott Yamin. But when it came time for all the reunion performances did anyone see Katharine McPhee?

Take Note Blake Lewis: American Idol Snubs Katharine McPhee
Will we see Blake Lewis beat box at some point in the finals next year? Us Weekly Magazine notes that scores of American Idol alums turned out to partake in this year's season finale, but noticeably absent from the festivities was last year’s runner-up Kat.

Although fellow Season 5 competitors Elliot Yamin, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry all returned for guest spots this season, McPhee, 23, was missing from the rundown – and it was not by choice. “Katharine called them herself, trying to get on the [finale],” a source close to the singer tells Us. “She’s really hurt.”
But she wasn’t the only former Idol who got dissed. When Sony/BMG president Clive Davis addressed the TV audience, he made sure to plug Taylor Hicks’ new single, but failed to mention Kelly Clarkson’s latest single or her forthcoming CD, My December, over which the two have reportedly butted heads.
Cue the reps™: McPhee's rep could not be reached, and Fox had no comment.
