Here are some comments Randy Jackson made about the Kat/Elliott duet on his new CD.
He expresses gratitude to Idol for bringing him together with Elliot Yamin and Katherine McPhee. "When people hear them sing on this track," Jackson declares of 'Real Love', "they're going to be completely blown away."

I can not wait to hear this!!!
That's awesome Bill, I can't wait to hear it! Kat and Elliott were my two favorites from Season 5, so I'm totally digging this collaboration. On another note in regards to Randy's album, I just received this e-mail from OnCamera Audiences -

Unfortunately, I'm not a LaLa Lander and am based in the Yaaaaay Area, but I would got to this in a heartbeat. I'm actually happy to hear Paula doing something again, that girl can bust a move or two, her singing, ummm - not bad . . . I love Paula, she just cracks me up and is a beautiful airhead.
Randy always did appreciate Kat, more than the others I think.
I'm really DYING to hear this track!
Elliott has one of the best male voices in AI history, and should blend exquisitely with Kat.
This great news that will help Katharine get going this year
THE FOLLOWING WAS POSTED BY KEN AT IDOLFORUMS. HE WAS RESPONDING TO A POST FROM A NON-FAN FORUM STATING THAT IF YOU CAN'T SELL KATHARINE MCPHEE YOU'RE IN THE WRONG BUSINESS. I DIDN'T THINK I COULD IMPROVE ON IT A BIT SO HERE IT IS.
Kat is very adult-like, and she has a 40-plus year-old mate. I don't think teens ever really took to her. Even for those who liked Idol, i think it's corny to admit you like idol and that's where you get your music from unless you are a Southerner following a country artist. Plus Kat represented this "rich" LA girl who many saw as snobby, and I think a lot of people in this country didn't like that image (the one that many projected on to kat whether it was deserved or not). Over It was a song for a young market, yet I don't think Kat appealed to that demographic. If she was 4 or 5 years younger the story would have been different. Most female pop stars gain their audience when the singers themselves are in their teens. I can't think of any who didn't. 23 is kind of old for a pop star who is just trying to break into that market and gain an audience. Apparently Idol doesn't count as a first record. That said her debut album wasn't necessarily pop or for a younger audience but that is what the only single that they pushed said the record was. That's what Over It represented. Still, it was the safest song for them to choose, so I can understand why they chose it. Pop music doesn't attract the strongest loyalty to the artist though, it's more about the song. You download the song, not the album. The song is catchy. I mean.... we could barely tell that "Over It" was actually sung by Kat so how are we to expect it to create any sort of loyalty to Kat the singer? So it didn't drive album sales. From out of the gate I felt Kat should try to capture the "starbucks crowd". To me Kat can be considered cool.. by an audience, which i don't think she is now. To me, she can be considered cool and hip by appealing to people at least her age, and coming off as this gorgeous woman with amazing talent whose record and music is mature and adult enough for adults to like it. The music has to make young adult woman almost want to be like Kat and for men to have a high level of respect for her artistry and music, which will make her come off as extremely sexy. The record she put out was too immature for those folks, especial
