American Idol: Allison Iraheta Becomes An Early Favourite With Heart’s ‘Alone’
16 year old Allison Iraheta was a big hit with the judges on last night’s American Idol and was undoubtedly one of the stars of the night.
Not only that but out of 12 acts she was the only contestant to get high praise from Cowell. He told her “she is the best by a clear mile”, with Randy adding that she “blew it out of the box” with her rendition of Alone” by Heart.
I preferred Adam Lambert myself but what did you think?
