Katharine McPhee better as a blonde?

I’ve had a girl crush on Katharine McPhee ever since following her on the only season of American Idol I’ve ever watched. (For me she somehow managed to make up for Ryan Seacrest and, well, the entire panel of judges.) Anyway, she recently went blonde and chopped off her long, flowing locks. When a slew of unflattering pics hit the web, I started wondering whether it was time to call off the girl crush.
But then I came across this photo Katharine as a blonde. When styled correctly, the new ’do can actually look rather lovely on her.
I still think long brown curls look best on her, but what’s your verdict? Does Katharine look better as a blonde or as a brunette?

I really, really like her as a blonde (in this shot). Maybe we should do an office experiment on your long, flowing locks.

i love the bleach blonde thing that’s really hot right now…but i guess at the end of the day classy and elegant wins with me lol because i prefer her as a brunette.

I like both but prefer the brunette:) I’m thinking that the blonde looks good in that pic due to makeup & hairstyling. I’d like to think that without she might look washed out.

Wow, I barely recognized her–what a transformation! I’m digging the blonde, but with hair naturally that dark it must be tough to keep up.

She is a beautiful brunnette; why would she ever need to become a blonde. What is it with blondes anyway?
