| Have to wait for more pics. I'm not sure about the color but I can totally see her with a shag cut. |

I hate this on several levels, but mostly because it was a waist of gorgeous brunette hair.

| Well if it wasn't before, it should now be obvious that this is one gorgeous lady who can probably pull off almost any style. And she looks stunning! |

So, if they are doing this to promote the album, why aren't we seeing more of her? Or of the hair?

There is nothing good about this cut or color on her. She is unrecogizable, but maybe that's a good thing.  Bob

Jockey, of course I never appreciate seeing hair as beautiful as hers was chopped! But I frankly think that the 50's, my mom's teen era, was an awful decade for hair. And this is what this style reminds me of, something from this era. Had she kept it her natural color, the look would be more appealing, I think, but still disappointing, given where she was coming from.  Bob

I look at her change from two angles. First, from a pure aesthetic point of view, sure, her long brown hair suited her better, and was very pretty. However, from a personal and creative standpoint, I applaud her risk taking! She didn't want to be defined by her hair. She WANTED a change. She took a risk, and it works on a certain level. I assume we will see her with short blonde hair at some point in time during the upcoming American Idol season, then, she will probably go back to longer, browner hair. |

| Her long hair can only be described as smoldering but I'm never against a young woman experimenting with something that feels more her at the moment. She has to express herself. If that's long and brunette again she'll grow it back. |

Alas, she'll likely get more attention for her makeover than for her music. The color is awful.

I like the cut alot....a long pixie-like cut. Has lots of body, movement and sexiness to it. I still think a darker color would look better on her though. |

I truly can't stand that shade of blonde, but until seeing those photos I had forgotten what a pretty face she has.

The cut, and especially the color, makes for an older woman style in my eyes. It's kind of shocking, reminding me of Celine Dion's misguided shearing from years ago. Bob

The big difference here Bob, IMO, is that Katherine McPhee has a very pretty face, which is now in the forefront, as opposed to Celine. When Celine cut her hair I thought, OK, that doesn't work! Kat obviously is much prettier and can seemingly wear different styles!

I have to go with the "no" vote on this one. A WTHWST cut and color IMO.

The thing I consistently come away with is the fact that I dont think she has chosen the right shade and I don't think she has chosen the right style. Because of that it is really hard for me to say "she looks terrible as a blonde" or "she looks better with long hair" I think she may look great as a blonde if the color were just a better shade or if she didn't have a haircut that I consider so bland. I think she shows real potential for looking great with short hair but this particular cut is a real dud.
If she wants to commit to a short funky style then she should do so, but she should do it all the way. She should mix up the blonde to get something that is either a true platinum pixie or else get a funky bob. This in between version just doesn't work.
I know she made a huge transition so I feel silly implying that she didn't commit. Obviously she made major, major change. She just needs to fine tune a little bit before I can really judge it.
If she's going to go back to the dark I hope that she gives a very dark, almost black short look a shot. I think that would be really hot on her.

Jockey, I fully agree with you. I don't think that Katharine's short hair is abysmal by any means, but Celine's was. KM does have a great face that could pull attention away from any bad cut. Somehow, Celine looks extremely lovely again since her long locks have returned.  Bob

Ran across another picture that shows just how bad her hair is cut. Like I said before, if it was cut/styled better, might have a different opinion.

She is beautiful but longer hair suits her best. The color needs to be changed to something darker, maybe a medium to darker brown with a shiny highlight and volume to add bounce. ------------- http://www.avatarforyou.com - http://www.avatarforyou.com Free Avatars |

This is the best I've seen her look since going blonde. It's a shame it's taken so long...

less than thrilling to be honest...and I can't help but wonder if certain liberties were taken with her right hip (our left). On the hair front, it's still not the same as the long brunette locks. No comparison for me. She just looks like a young housewife with a good color job.
