Masked Singer Katharine McPhee Compares Show To American Idol Experience

The Masked Singer revealed Banana Split to be musical power couple Katharine McPhee and David Foster, and Katharine compared the show to her experience on American Idol. Katharine stole America’s heart in 2006 when she was the runner-up on American Idol season 5. After her time on the show, Katharine skyrocketed to superstardom as a recording artist, television and movie actress, and Broadway star. Katharine and David met during that season when he mentored her during Whitney Houston week, but they didn’t find love until many years later. She married the legendary musician, composer and record producer in June 2019, and gave birth to their son, Rennie, in February 2021. The couple was eliminated from The Masked Singer competition after coming in second to Queen of Hearts in the Group B Finals.

As Banana Split, Katharine and David had some of the most iconic performances in the history of the show. Katharine, dressed in her cotton candy pink ice cream costume, was accompanied by David, the bright yellow banana, on instruments ranging from the piano to the drums. In their first week, they performed “A Million Dreams” by Pink, and panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger immediately recognized Katharine’s voice. Ironically, Robin Thicke, who grew up with David in his life because David was his late father Alan Thicke’s best friend, was the only one who had a wrong guess, thinking Katharine was Jennifer Nettles on night one, and saying Ryan Tedder and Leona Lewis for his final guess. Robin even sang a duet of “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing” by Stevie Wonder with Banana Split during the finals, but he still couldn’t figure it out. However, fans of American Idol had been speculating from the beginning that the ice cream in the Banana Split was Katharine because of her stellar and distinct voice.

In an interview with EW, Katharine compared her experience on The Masked Singer with American Idol, saying that it brought back memories for her, specifically of “the difficulty of song choice.” She said, “It really reminded me like, oh my gosh, the struggle and the constant battle of, ‘Okay, you made it past the next round, now what song are you gonna do?'” Katharine explained how hard it was to get certain songs cleared that she wanted to perform, and she didn’t get to sing some of the songs that she wanted to. She said, “I couldn’t get Olivia Rodrigo’s songs cleared at all, which was disappointing because I would have loved to have done a couple of her songs.”

Another aspect of the competition that reminded Katharine of her time with American Idol was accepting defeat when she was so close to victory. When asked if she was sad not to make it to the finale, Katharine admitted, “Are you kidding me? I was very upset.” David confirmed her disappointment, and Katharine continued, “I was very upset that we got kicked off. My husband, you were looking at me like, ‘That’s okay, baby,’ and I was just so disappointed. I really wanted to take it all. To speak of American Idol, I came in second on American Idol. I wanted to take this one home and it just didn’t happen again. So maybe it’s just not in the cards for me to be No. 1 but—” At that point, David interrupted, saying that maybe Dancing With The Stars will be next, and Katharine can take home the Mirrorball Trophy. Katharine responded by saying, “That will definitely never happen.”

Whatever path Katharine chooses next, she is sure to be successful. Although her second-place finish in the Group B Finals is reminiscent of her American Idol run, she is always number one in the eyes of her fans. With her gorgeous voice, spirited dance moves and bubbly personality, she surely gained even more admirers during her time as half of Banana Split. Now that is a sweet victory.
