How can I miss this!? Tsktsk! Its been all over the net. Allison Iraheta signed a record with Jive Records. It is the same record label that did David Archuleta. Guess what, Archie is bigger than Cook right now according to blog posts I read. Hahaha! Anyways, here it is, see for yourself! Allison will really make it big for sure!!
Here is the spill verbatim from 96.5 KISS FM in Cleveland (malamang sa US, hehe!).
"Allison Iraheta seemed like an early favorite on American Idol season 8, but she came in 4th like Idol alum Chris Daughtry. He’s had massive success - so Allison probably has a bright future ahead of her. She recently signed with Jive Records - following in the footsteps of previous Idol loser David Archuleta."
Iraheta fans are just so excited! Count me in! I even felt really, really bad by her exiting the American Idol at 4th place. I wept for weeks, hahaha! There was no sense at it after all. They were right, as Adam said, they know the show is just a platform, not a singing competition. Check fan comments from a post in MJ's Big Blog.

"I would think that Jive doesn’t give a crap about what position an Idol finished in, or even if they are an Idol. Idol is over and done with. Jive wants Allison apparently. She looks to have one of the most top notch teams you can have. Their concern is only going to be Allison. When her album is ready, and when they think it should come out is when I think it will come out. I know some fans are under the impression that she is already working on her album - ahead of Kris and Adam. Kelly Pickler’s came out first. Archie had a single out before Cook. I think it’s a possibility we’ll have an October Allison record. I’m thrilled it will be pop rock. She’s going to be huge. All over TV and radio. So, in that regards she’ll be bigger than Daughtry."
The records don’t come out in order of how they finished on the program. Just last year, DA’s came out before DC’s. Kellie’s came out whenever because she was doing country and Kat’s record had nothing to do with hers. People need to understand that Idol is a tv show. When it ends, the top 10 are in the real world. The real world doesn’t operate according to Idol rules. The real marketplace has its own logic and its own rules.
I’m thrilled, but not surprised, that Allison is being signed and will have top-notch support. I expected no less. I feel that she and Adam were the most talented from the season, followed by Kris. Allison is my favorite, I love her voice, and her personality and attitude, she’s going to be a big, big star, she’s incredible. Can’t wait.
Just do it Allison!! Yay!
