Carrie Underwood wins all the Grammys.

Adam Lambert gets lots of attention.

And Crystal Bowersox is often in the news these days, as she leads the season nine pack of finalists.

But American Idol fans should keep an eye on Allison Iraheta. This young rocker is a singer on the rise, quietly selling a decent number of albums and booking a gig as the opening act for Lambert this summer on his wildly anticipated tour.

Incredibly, Allison is only 18, turning that important age today. We’d like to take a moment and wish her the best of luck, while encouraging readers to chime in and do the same. We bet this isn’t the last photo montage we post in Iraheta’s honor.

She has a long career ahead of her…

Allison Iraheta in Latina Magazine: Life is Good!

April 22, 2010


Allison Iraheta has been off American Idol for almost a full year now, but the singer tells the latest issue of Latina magazine that life is better than ever.

“I don’t have to step onto a stage and get judge every week. Now I get to do my own songs and talk to my fans,” she said. “There are all these girls writing my on Twitter… saying [they] love songs like ‘Scars’ because they can totally relate to what I’m singing about. Things are really good right now.”

Iraheta will tour this summer with Adam Lambert, who has nothing but amazing things to say about his friend:

“She’s so freaking talented… The first time I heard her album, I was in a car with the windows down and I was just dancing and rocking out to it. It’s going to take some time, but she’ll get there.”

And where is that place? Allison hopes it’s a level of accomplishment where she’s recognized for being herself, not for having starred on the most popular show on TV.

“I don’t want people to see me and immediately think, ‘Oh, that’s the girl with the red hair who was on American Idol. I want them to say, ‘That’s Allison Iraheta. She’s a great artist who makes real music and has something to say – and she rocks.”

Crazy Good: Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta Reunite on Stage

February 15, 2010


While Andrew Garcia, Lilly Scott and other early favorites battle it out on American Idol, a trio of season eight finalists took to the stage Friday night and reminded this group how far they still have to go.

Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta all took part in Ryan Seacrest’s “Rock My Town” show at Manhattan’s Highline Ballroom.

The singers played individual sets, much to the delight of those in attendance, and then closed the show with a three-part rendition of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.” It’s an absolute must-watch for fans of these artists…
