American Idol 8 Top 5 Allison Iraheta “Someone to Watch Over Me”

Allison Iraheta celebrated her 17th birthday yesterday (good for her!).  Mentor, Jamie Foxx, said that Allison’s rehearsals were innocent and incredible.

I like the dress that Allison picked tonight a lot more than some of the things she has worn in recent weeks.  She also, of course, sounded pretty great singing “Someone to Watch Over Me” which is one of my favorite songs from that era.  I’m happy she picked it because it ended up working for her.

Randy said he thought the genre was going to be tough for her but she said that Allison came out looking line Brittany Murphy and sounding like Pink with more octaves.  Kara said that Allison is not some one-trick pony and she thinks it was enough to get her to the finals.  Paula said that she delivered and innocent performance that was both alluring and tender.  Simon said that he thought it was a great performance but doesn’t feel that Allison believes she can win and added that he has a horrible feeling that she could be in trouble as a result.
