She gained fame as a contestant on the fifth season of the Fox reality show American Idol in 2006, eventually finishing as the runner-up. McPhee has struggled with eating disorders in the past. She told People magazine that at age 13 she began starving herself and exercising compulsively, and she became bulimic at age 17. After seven years of illness, she finally entered a three-month rehabilitation program after successfully passing her American Idol audition; her rehab stint ended just before the Idol semifinals started in February 2006. McPhee claimed she was known as the “pretty, but stupid” girl in school because she had trouble reading. The inclusion of producer David Foster and singer Andrea Bocelli as guest mentors for Top 6 Week turned out to be a fortuitous introduction for McPhee, as she has worked on various music projects with both men post-Idol. She joined the tour beginning with the July 28 show in Washington, D.C., singing only two songs “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” instead of the usual 4 on doctor’s orders to conserve her voice. At the August 1 concert in Charlotte, North Carolina, McPhee suffered a hairline fracture of her foot when she tripped backstage and was fitted with a walking boot cast.

Born in Los Angeles, California, McPhee moved with her family to Sherman Oaks at age 12. She graduated in 2002. During her run on American Idol, she lost 30 lb (14 kg) due to eating better as part of her treatment. Now, as she told Teen Vogue in May 2007, “I eat whatever I crave–I’m just really careful about portions.” McPhee and her sister appeared on debut of The Dr. Keith Ablow Show on September 18, 2006, to discuss her struggles with bulimia and her childhood fear of her father. McPhee claimed she was known as the “pretty, but stupid” girl in school because she had trouble reading.
