Katharine Mcphee updates:- Katharine McPhee and “30 Rock” star Jane Krakowski are just two of the cavalcade of stars performing at the 2009 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Rehearsal footage below.

Katharine McPhee, sporting her new sassy blonde ‘do, is singing her new single “Had It All.” We’re not gonna lie… we had the McPheever during season 5 of “American Idol.” Jane Krakowski is performing a Christmas tune. She may play a ditzy spoiled celeb on “30 Rock,” but in real-life Krakowski is quite the songbird.

Katharine Mcphee Blonde, The American Idol Season 5 runner-up, long known for long brunette locks, traded in her brown mane for a bleach blonde rocker look in new promo shots for her upcoming sophomore album, Unbroken — due out October 6.

“My music is a little more edgy so that inspired me to be adventurous.”

“I’ve never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change,” Katharine reveals in the August 17 issue of PEOPLE. “I’ve always been known as a brunette but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and it kind of just fit with all of the searching with the music and experimenting that I would do the same thing with my look.”
