American Idol singer Allison Iraheta has become the third contestant from this years show to sign with 19 Recordings and Jive Records.
17-year-old Allison, follows in the footsteps of Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. She finished in fourth place and will release her debut album in the autumn.
Allison turned 17 this week, not that you would know it if you listen to her huge belting vocals.
The judges praised her efforts – apart from Cowell , who told her that he doesn’t think she believes she can win and that “she might be in trouble tonight”.
I would have to disagree with Cowell. I loved Allison’s rendition of this song. I loved her perfect vocals and her husky tone. Allison to win (or at least make the final) I say!
Former “American Idol” contestant Sanjaya Malakar is reported to have signed up for the American version of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.”
The series kicks off June 1 on US TV network NBC and will run for four weeks. The celebrities camp will be located in the jungles of Costa Rica.
Since appearing on Idol last year, Sanjaya has realeased his memoirs and an album, both titled “Dancing to the Music In My Head.”.
Fox have announced today that this series of American Idol will see a more balanced judging panel as the show welcomes another female judge in the form of songwriter/music producer Kara DioGuardi.
DioGuardi has previously penned songs for singers like Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Santana and Pink.
“We are turning the heat up on`Idol’ this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges’ table,” said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller in a statement. “She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America’s most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show.” Read more & comment »
I decided to watch American Idol tonight. We’ve been dipping in and out of it for a few of the live shows, but it’s time to commit! If you’re watching American Idol, drop me a line in the comments and let me know what you thought.
The theme this week seems to be 80’s songs. Here’s my run-down of each performance.
There’s never been a worse time for reality TV flagship shows than right now. Ask the producers of American Idol, X Factor and Big Brother. Talent is seemingly thin on the ground, the formats themselves seem strained and audiences are in decline.
The American entertainment websites will tell you that American Idol is onto a surefire winner this year – they’ve basically got a captive audience due to the Hollywood writer’s strike. But that’s no reason to become complacent, and the Idol production team know it.
Season six of American Idol featured some of the weakest talent the competition has known to date. Backed up by the fact that neither the winner – Jordin Sparks – or the runner-up Blake Lewis managed to score a number one with their respective debut singles.
Is it a coincidence that the two top talent shows of 2007 were a complete washout? I already passed my judgement on 2007’s X Factor, but Lisa and I really expected so much more from American Idol. After all, surely larger population = larger chance of talented individuals getting through? Apparently not.
