Alliholics.com - Allison Iraheta News » Tour

Since the start of his tour, Lambert has given his fellow season eight competitor Allison Iraheta primo visibility with an opening slot.

The upside is that Iraheta, who was recently dropped from her label, gets a chance to remind people that she possesses a brawny set of pipes and the potential to develop a career.

The downside is that, live, Iraheta too often resorts to shouting rather than singing and could use some guidance in steering her vocals.

As with most of the “Idol” alums – especially the also-rans such as David Archuleta, Elliott Yamin and Melinda Doolittle – it was gratifying to see how Iraheta, at only 18, has developed as a performer.

A diminutive figure in black with a maroon mane that she flailed like any good rocker chick, Iraheta connected with the snarling rocker “Don’t Waste the Pretty” and the acoustic “Scars.”

But her messy, breathless version of Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker” and the hoarse yelling throughout “Friday I’ll Be Over You” were evidence that Iraheta’s raw edges still need some smoothing.

A fabulous review from the Houston Chronicle, Allison Iraheta parts of the review only:

Opener Allison Iraheta displayed truly astonishing force and a vocal power that belied her 18 years. I’m in love with this girl.

Iraheta, who finished fourth during Idol 8, brought a raw, rock edge to tunes Holiday, Scars and Robot Love (which should have been a monster hit). That she was dropped this week by Jive Records makes even less sense in the face of such a powerhouse performance. BOO.

Review from AZCentral, only the Allison part below. Read the full article here:

Speaking of “Idol,” his opening act on the Glam Nation tour is another Season 8 contestant, the crimson-haired Allison Iraheta, who spent the season being pimped out as the “rocker chick” and made good on the title with a set that found her channeling Pat Benatar long before she made her way around to actually covering Benatar’s “Heartbreaker.” How Iraheta didn’t make the “Idol” finals is a mystery…

Interview (print): Allison Iraheta talks beauty, fitness, singing, and how she connects with her fans

Alliholics — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:02:18 +0000

Check out this extensive interview from The Examiner: Allison Iraheta talks beauty, fitness, singing, and how she connects with her fans

Interview Excerpt:

Allison Iraheta was a fan favorite on the 8th season of American Idol. Since then, she’s released an album and started living her dream of being a successful artist. In this interview, the humble artist talks about her beauty and fitness regimen, and of course, how she’s living her dream!

You’re so young, and you’ve already achieved pretty much everything you’ve ever wanted. Do you ever think “what now”? Do you have any other goals?

Allison: This is what I feel like I was born to do. I’ve definitely thought about the Plan B, something to fall back on. So school, for sure. Yes. And also, even if this doesn’t work out, the writing or working in the music somehow. The music industry is so big. Where I am right now, I feel like I have a chance at really making it.

Also from The Examiner:

Review

Opening the evening with explosive vocals and unexpectedly powerful rock ballads from her debut album was a fellow season 8 American Idol contestant and Lambert friend, Allison Iraheta. She hit the stage looking stunning, dressed from head to toe in black. But her wardrobe was a mere after thought once she opened her mouth to sing. Her booming raspy vocals comparable to Tina Turner or Pat Benatar penetrated the skepticism and caught most of the anxious Glambert fans off guard. Her stage presence and gutsy set captivated the audience who affectionately received her with roaring cheers and applause. Iraheta set a commanding pace for the evening and though her 2009 debut album may not have done as well as fans and even she had hoped her performance demonstrated the promise of a long career in the industry as she refines and matures in her artistic ability.
