American idol runner up Katharine McPhee may have just won over some reluctant fans in the south.  The gorgeous LA girl is finally on the Idol's live tour and on Tuesday night dedicated her signature song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to fellow idol performer Kellie Pickler.

The finalists were in Charlotte for a concert Tuesday night at Bobcats Arena and Kat grabs her pal Kellie, who is hiding out in the audience with a sweatshirt on with the hood pulled up as a bit of a disguise.

She wins over the crowd by dedicating the arena and the stage to "hometown girl" Kellie Pickler and brings her on stage and gives away the 'secret' that the performers sometimes sit in the audience and watch the show.

She brings Kellie to tears.

It is described this way by Tiffany at KatharineFans.com

It was awesome... I will just tell the stuff that I haven't read from the other posts on attending the concerts.. Katharine dedicated Over the Rainbow to Kellie... She had said that they loved watching each other perform and said that Kellie was in the crowd watching her..

She proceeded to pull Kellie from the audience, she was sitting in the front row with a black hoodie on, and Katharine said that's what they wore when watching each other... Kellie made a joke saying that now Kat gave away their disguise (if you do go to a concert, look for black hoodies it could be the idols)... Anyway Katherine began to sing Over the Rainbow and Kellie started to cry.. it was sooo touching... Katherine at one time went and sat beside of Kellie on the stage floor and they were both singing together... it was very sweet...

Kat's voice sounds strong, sitting out was probably a wise choice. 

She looks fantastic and the video is available on You Tube here.
