New Year's Eve performances by Idol singers

Sherry — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 17:52:41 +0000

It was a good New Year’s Eve for American Idol fans, because several of them were found giving amazing performances at various locations around the U.S. We had Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta at the Billboard party in Las Vegas televised on Fox and Daughtry performed in Times Square in the cold and rain for Ryan Seacrest’s presentation of Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve special on ABC.

Meanwhile, Adam Lambert performed for over 40 minutes in the Paramount backlot and David Cook was at Pechanga, and although they weren’t televised events I was lucky enough to find some clips on YouTube. So! Let’s catch up!

Here’s Kris Allen doing “Live Like We’re Dying” in Vegas:

More clips below the cut!

Allison Iraheta did a high energy performance of her single “Friday I’ll Be Over You”:

Adam Lambert giving his all for “If I Had You”. The sound quality is unfortunately not very good but even with that you can tell that he did an amazing job:

Daughtry performed “Life After You” despite the cold temps:

David Cook performing “Lie” which is my favorite of all his songs:

Whew! It was a busy New Year’s Eve for Idol alumni wasn’t it? Did I miss anyone? Leave me a link in the comments and I’ll add it in!

American Idol Season 8 celebrating 2010

Sherry — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:05:42 +0000

If you were a fan of American Idol, season 8 you’ll be happy to know you can catch some of them performing for New Year’s Eve to ring in 2010.

Although Adam Lambert got booted from his original NYE line-up he’s been snatched back up again. He’ll be performing at the Gridlock New Year’s Eve party in the Paramount backlot. It’s unfortunate that the show isn’t being televised but this IS the Internet so hopefully there will be photos and more importantly, video of his performance from fans on YouTube.

Meanwhile, Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta will take on Las Vegas to perform at the Billboard party. That should be televised as far as I know, so I should definitely get video clips for you!

Is anyone planning to attend either of these parties? Let me know!

Allison Iraheta’s “Just Like You” Album Cover Revealed

Jeanne — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:48:37 +0000

Last season’s teen queen, Allison Iraheta, came just shy of making it to the finals but her debut album is still right on track. She plans to release Just Like You on December 1, 2009 and the cover art has already been revealed.

Allison tends to have pinkish hair so I can understand the color scheme – girly but with an edge. I will have to say, though, that with the colors and font, I thought of Avril Lavigne for just an instant. Clearly, they are very different artists so I’m hoping they will keep that in mind, though, as they continue their marketing campaign.

What do you think, do you like it?

Fans of Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert? If so, you might want to check out their interview on the Walmart Soundcheck site starting November 1, 2009.

I’m not completely sure why none of them is performing but I am interested in seeing the full interview. If you like this sort of thing, check out Carrie Underwood’s Walmart Soundcheck performances. She’s great, of course!

Allison Iraheta Sings “Barracuda” on the Tonight Show

Jeanne — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:54:47 +0000

I know this was a few days ago but I found a video of Allison Iraheta performing “Barracuda” on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. She replaced American Idol winner, Kris Allen, who had to bow out of the appearance after a death in his family.

I’m a big fan of Heart so I’ve always loved “Barracuda” and I don’t know if anyone can sing it quite like they did but I think Allison does a great job. She was already pretty great while she was on Idol but I feel like her vocals have matured even more since then.

Kris Allen Cancels Appearance on Tonight Show After Death in Family

Jeanne — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:49:18 +0000

Access Hollywood is reporting that Kris Allen’s grandmother has passed away and, while he mourns the loss, he has opted to bow out of a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

If you follow the reigning American Idol on Twitter, you probably say this message last night: “I know I was supposed to do conan on wed, but there was a death in my family.”

In case you are worried that he might not be at some of the upcoming American Idols Live tour dates, don’t fret. He hasn’t canceled any appearances yet.

If you were really looking forward to some Idol action on Conan this week you’re in luck. Finalist, Allison Iraheta will be filling in for Kris and he seems confident that she’ll do a great job. He tweeted: Allison “is filling in. And by filling in I mean @Allison4Realzzz is gonna rock Conan’s face off on Wednesday.”

Set your DVRs Iraheta fans!

Allison Iraheta Also Signs With 19 Recordings

Jeanne — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:27:05 +0000

There was all sorts of news yesterday about the contracts given to this year’s American Idol finalists. I wrote about Kris Allen and Adam Lambert and now I’m happy to report that Allison Iraheta has also been signed to 19 Records.

Like Kris, Allison has been licensed to Jive Records (Adam is with RCA). All three albums are expected to drop some time this fall. “I think I’m still in shock that this is happening — getting to record my first album and this whole awesome experience is a dream come true!” Allison said in a statement.

Okay, so that takes care of the winner, runner-up and fourth place finisher but what about Danny Gokey, who finished in third place? So far, I haven’t heard anything about him being signed and I think it’s too bad. Surely, there is a place for Danny even in the gospel industry. He has a good look and a great voice so I hope he gets some sort of deal soon!

Allison Iraheta at Regis and Kelly - Pictures

Jeanne — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:07:26 +0000

Last week’s eliminated American Idol contestant, Allison Iraheta, was spotted as she arrived for an appearance on Live! With Regis and Kelly.

I see she has chosen to keep those hair extensions she got put in (by Adam Lambert’s stylist, I believe?) during Rock Week. I think they suit her but I don’t like her outfit. Do you like her look (click on the images to enlarge).

Allison Iraheta on Good Day NY - Video

Jeanne — Tue, 12 May 2009 17:27:58 +0000

Allison Iraheta was on Good Day NY this morning where she gave a quick interview and I think, for the first time, it’s very clear that she’s just a regular young woman. When she’s talking, she sounds just like any other teenage girl I know (a little awkward but sweet) but it’s a different story when she opens her mouth to sing. She sang “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith and I think she did a great job.

American Idol Season 8 Top 4 Results Show

Jeanne — Thu, 07 May 2009 01:58:23 +0000

The show started with a group performance of “School’s Out” which is one of my favorite songs to play on Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock. It was pretty cool to see the contestants rock out like that.

Danny Gokey had me cracking up as he talked about how funny it was to watch his performance from last night. Judge Simon Cowell had said his last note sounded like something from a horror movie and Danny had to agree. He said that his own aunt had muted it and he heard that people were making ringtones. Too funny!

We were treated with a little montage of Paula Abdul’s career before she performed her new single “I’m Just Here for the Music.” The lip-synching is unacceptable, can I just say? A lot of celebrities bomb majorly because they try to perform LIVE on the Idol stage and I think it’s sort of a right of passage. There’s no flipping way she was moving like that and singing. BUT I do have to give her major kudos for those amazing moves. She really blew me away by jumping off the stage and being flipped around like that. Fierce!

On the flipside, I kinda wish that Gwen Stefani from No Doubt had lip-synched as she warbled her way through “Just a Girl.” No further comment needed. Moving on…

Over 64 million votes were cast which is the highest number outside of a finale. Go America!

Kris Allen was the first to be sent to safety! I’m pretty happy with it because he’s humble, inventive and cute.

Daughtry performed their new song “No Surprise” from their upcoming album Leave This Town. What do you think of the song? I’m not a huge fan of it, to be honest.

Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey joined Kris on the couch but Allison Iraheta was sent home. I can’t say that I’m too surprised but it’s too bad. She’s got a great voice but she really needs to come out of her shell and connect more with her audience.
