    Yeah, hoo, I love Allison but wish she was with Adam..they are good together when I seen them on tour….I have nothing against Kris’s singing only it is boring at times like Simon said….as for Haiti, I am like Gary Coleman, says take care of the U.S

    • Mari

      She’s with neither Kris nor Adam. She’ll be performing by herself.

      • BenD

        Yeah Allison, my girl deserves time to shine! But she and Adam were amazing on tour together!

    • Kitty

      I agree with you. Adam and Allison do rock well together. Proof of that was of course on Idol, on the Idol tour and just recently when they rocked it out on Rock our Town concert. I think Allison should open for Adam and they should do the foghat song for a finale. OH YEAH!

  • Didi Fan

    Oh yuck! That Hispanic girl who looks thirty and sounds like a chain-smoking forty year old. I still cannot believe that RCA/Sony pick up the option on her. I guess that I’ll have to use the DVR for Idol and watch the girls skate this week.

    • Yol

      Very classy of you to diss the hispanic population.

    • Neil

      you’ll die for this. /non hispanic

    • ianaleah

      Incredible, but except for bashing the hispanic people, the rest of the comment is what was said about Janis Joplin–and now 50 years later, her album is still on the bin shelves with all the newbies- because, like Allison, she was a fantastic female rock star and Allison is on her way.It is what it is.Allison was born to be a superstar.

    • roquemocan

      @Didi Fan: You can always go back to your favourites, like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus

      • Kitty

        @Neil, yes it was wrong of Didifan to say that but for you to say they will die? How wrong of you too. Not oool.

      • Kitty

        Not cool either. :)

  • Sarah

    Both Kris and Allison on the results show?! Yes!!

  • mike

    Let’s hope this is the last time we ever have to see her again. Her album tanked- she sucks.

    • davey

      LOL. After Thursday cances are you will be seeing even MORE of her. “Scars” is awesome and could definiteyl be a hit. Get ready for more Allison, Mike!

      • mike

        Here’s a bet: within two weeks this song won’t be in the top 1000 itunes.
        After all her publicity and being on AI for 4 months, touring, NYE, Ellen, Jimmy Fallon, etc. she still tanked. She will never be a big star. Too awkward and not sexy.

    • Neil

      LOL Awkward, its you thats awkward to her world of awesome.

      SUCK IT

    • Yol

      If you don’t want to see her change the channel. I’m hoping this is the first of many times I’ll see her on tv this year.

    • Dan

      Lets see what happens, sucktard Mike. She’ll still be more successful than you ever will.

    • Kitty

      Mike how classy of you man. I love it how people will put down an artist but yet they have listen to the CD. You know you like the rocker and it is ok man, really! :)

  • dowie

    technically no one can compete adam lambert voice.

    • Yol

      Who the hell is talking about Adam Lambert?

    • roquemocan

      @dowie: Your words: “technically”. Adam and Allison both bring emotions from the audience – the definition of accomplished artists

    • Kitty

      As an Adam fan I find your words offensive. There is no competition anymore dowie. Allison isn’t trying to as you put “compete adam lamert voice”. Allison is great in her own right as is Adam. No competition of voices are needed here.

      • Kitty

        Oppppssss misspelled lamert, meant Lambert…..so sorry.

  • KWise

    What- why Thursday? Isn’t it a Tues/Wed show??

    • Stacy

      girls tuesday, boys wednesday, and results (plus The Rocker) on thursday

    Mr. Slezak, I love your writing, personality and quips. I love Idolatry and your various co-hosts. But I have a throwdown challenge for you: can you go three weeks without writing about her, referencing her as a comparison or inserting her image into Idolatry commencing the day after your review of her performance this week? I get it. You love, love, love her. Three weeks. That’s the challenge.

    • SA in SA

      Her being Allison Iraheta. Apologies.

      • SA in SA

        Love you. Mean it. Big kiss.

      • roquemocan

        @SA in SA: Slezak is mentioning Allison because she is the story here. And in Idolatry Allison appears (with Kris and Adam), because the day before was the Kradison concert

      • Agonizer

        WUT? whats canoodling, tho?

        You sound confused.

    • Neil

      see heres the problem, if he didn’t write about her this often, i wouldn’t be here commenting. Why are you here?

      • SA in SA

        it’s news, so i get the need to post it, as they do any other info on the show, and I follow the show. If he didn’t have a husband, I’d swear we’d read about him canoodling with her on Page 6 of the Post.

    • Anise

      Don’t discourage him, he’s my Allison hookup and I NEED MY FIX OKAY

    • Kitty

      Oh please……..really? Talk about Allison all you want Slezak. And Adam and Kris……lol. The moment you stop talking about them is the moment I stop listening to you.

  • ARos

    This is great news, scars is one of those powerful songs that everyone would relate to it, great choice as a single!

  • Lauren

    Ew…i hope she does not flail those arms every second. Or hold her first two fingers together and spin them round and round for the entire song.
    I agree with Mike- spastic

    • Neil

      go bake some cookies

    • roquemocan

      @Lauren: then close your eyes and enjoy!

  • finnley

    This is amazing news…

  • Mary

    Excited for Thursday night. Can’t wait to see the footage of Kris’s trip and will be downloading his version of Let it be. I hope this will give Allison a boost she needs. I think she has talent, but sometimes it is hard to understand what she is singing.

  • Rebecca

    Can’t wait to see Kris perform as well as see the footage. So glad Simon Fuller asked him to go on this trip with the UN Foundation to help highlight the need for continued aid. He’s a great spokesman because he genuinely cares. He really connects emotionally with his music and the audience. Love his album.

  • Char

    They really gave Allison a sucky spot to make her comback to AI – the first results show of the Top 24. It’s not until the Top 12 that they open up the show with a wider audience.

  • Tyler

    Well, Allison better bring it with Scars. Otherwise, I think she will be vulnerable in being dropped from her contract. No matter how talented she is, no record label will continually carry an artist if they cannot make money for them.

    • Neil

      i don’t think their worried about record sales with her, shes soo young, they wouldn’t have signed her if they didn’t see the long term potential in her, and thats exactly what they said when then signed her

  • ianaleah

    I love this kid. Allison is young and just getting started; she is going to become an international superstar as time goes by. She is fantastic.Absolutely.
