Season 5′s top girl, Katharine McPhee, celebrates her birthday today! The 27-year-old has had a lot of success with both music and acting since her time on American Idol.

Just days after the finale, Katharine was signed by 19 Recordings and RCA Records and released her debut self-titled album in 2007. Last January, Kat released her sophomore album, Unbroken, which debuted at #27 on the Billboard 200. At the end of 2010, Katharine released a holiday album, Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You.

In late summer of 2008, Katharine had a supporting role in the movie The House Bunny. Then, in 2010, Kat was back on TV with guest roles on a handful of TV shows. Last month, Katharine announced that she was cast for a TV pilot called “Smash” executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

Last March, Katharine performed at the White House for International Women’s Day. She sang a song that she wrote called “Surrender” from Unbroken. The President and the First Lady were sitting in the front row for Katharine’s performance! Last summer, Kat helped give back by launching America’s hunger-free summer initiative for kids with Idol Gives Back beneficiary, Feeding America.

Currently, Katharine’s mom Peisha McPhee is a vocal coach on Season 10 of American Idol!
