She even sings a snippet of Alejandra Guzmán’s song Volverte a Amar. Check out the introduction in Spanish and the audio interview at the bottom of the article HERE.

Full translation below.

I: I’m here with Allison one of the past American Idol contestants who is successfully writing her own story, congratulations Allison and thanks for this call.
A: Thank you
I: Tell me, how has your life change before and after you participated on American Idol
A: It’s a completely different world. I can say that mentally and physically I’m stronger than I was before, before I entered Idol, more confident; and obviously now people, they know me and they know my name.
I: You are famous
A: Famous!? That word! Heh
I: Ok, let’s just say successful
A: Yeah, successful, with opportunities I didn’t have before, with more opened doors that were closed before. My life really has totally changed, I’m the same person but more prepared for what I want to do in the future and for my career.
I: So this has been an enriching experience.
A: Yes
I: So, speaking of what you want to do, where does Allison want to go? What do you want to reach?
A: To the end, until I die, I want to be singing in my grave. I want my name to be known, not just because I was the red haired girl from American Idol but because of the music.
I: And you’re making it, you’re on your way. Now, Allison what do you think of the fact that now young people have many more tools to support their dreams and talents through shows like American Idol?
A: Well, you know, I entered Idol, and some people sometimes think that it’s a fluke, people have different opinions, but I think that it is a great door that opens for some who don’t have those opportunities others have, they don’t have the money and they have that dream, they want to make music. It’s a really big thing that helps you, it made my dream come true of singing in front of thousands of people, recording with big producers and writers, to tour, it was all I imagined, what I dreamed of doing since I was little.
I: Of course, and how did you get to American Idol? Was it you? Did you say I want to enter this contest or was it a family member that pushed you and said “go for it Allison”.
A: I think both, I think I was 9 years old when the first season of Idol aired and it always just made me want to sing more and more, it was inspirational, watching the tv with Kelly Clarkson singing, it made me want to go but since I was 9, I couldn’t do it, I had to wait until I was 16. At 14 I went to Quinceañera and at 15 I won, but nothing happened, it was time to move on. When I turned 16, I still had it in my mind that I wanted to go to Idol. Since I was 9 I wanted to auditioned, so it was time. At 16, my sister, my mom, my dad, my brother, everyone, my uncles, we were going, I was ready! We went to San Francisco, I slept on the floor for 2 days, I auditioned and now I’m here.
I: Wow, and what did the judges tell you?
A: Well, there are like 6 auditions you have to pass before the actual auditioned, some positive things, some things to help…when I went to the auditioned in front of Simon Cowell, Randy y Kara, I remember I was jumping up and down when they told me I had made it to Hollywood and Simon told me, calm down, you just got about a 7…it was like, for the next time I’ll give you a 10.
I: Wow, I can imagine it was an incredible experience. Now tell me, who is your favorite singer?
A: Hmm…it would always have to be…since I grew up with classic rock with my father, always teaching me that, I remember Janis Joplin always got stuck in my head, since I was very little, listening to Piece of my heart and I think she is a big influence in my career.
I: Very important and interesting, now…have you ever thought about trying a different facet since you’re already in the media, like maybe as an actress?
A: Yeah, it would be fun, I enjoy it a lot, I like it. I can’t say I’m…good (laughs). I have the will and I would like to, but I think I’ll need to get training
I: My blog also talks about movies, so I would like to know what’s your favorite movie?
A: Dumb and dumber
I: Really?
A: Yeah, because…it’s just my favorite movie of all time (laughs)
I: It’s a really funny movie. Lastly, I would like to ask you to sing a little bit for us! Do you sing in Spanish?
A: Yeah…ok, uh…
I: But, do you sing in Spanish?
A: Yeah
I: Wow, I would love that, because we have seen you in English and all that but any song you know in Spanish?
A: In Spanish…uh, ok
I: To cheer you on, we’re going to follow your career, keep on supporting you; it’s awesome that you sing in Spanish too.
A: Let’s see, the only one that comes to mind is Volverte a amar from Alejandra Guzmán
I: Ok, go ahead
A: Let’s see if I remember, sorry if I mess up, and I’m drinking a soda so forgive me if I burp (they both laugh)
Allison sings part of Volverte a amar
A: Oh dear, I don’t remember!
I: That is great, so beautiful! Thank you so much, I wish you the best of luck, no wonder you won! (Quinceañera). I think this is just the beginning of many successes. Obviously we have to remind people to that behind all of this, there’s a lot of work
A: Yes of course, a lot and a lot of work
I: Thank you so much Allison, we will be paying close attention to your career and later we want to see you in a movie!
A: Oh well….
I: Hugs! Bye
A: Bye

First up, one of our followers sent us the audio of this radio interview from May. The audio is hilarious (Don’t Waste The Pudding, fake IDs, lol!), but it jumps around a couple times because she asked us to remove her name from the recording. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
