Has Allison Iraheta Signed with Jive?
According to this feature article posted at 96.5 KISS FM in Cleveland, Allison Iraheta has signed with Jive records:
Allison Iraheta seemed like an early favorite on American Idol season 8, but she came in 4th like Idol alum Chris Daughtry. He’s had massive success – so Allison probably has a bright future ahead of her. She recently signed with Jive Records – following in the footsteps of previous Idol loser David Archuleta.
The rumors about an impending record deal for Allison have been swirling since the finale. I can’t imagine Allison’s raspy rock alto wouldn’t be in demand by record executives. If 19 doesn’t scoop her up, somebody else will…

Can someone answer me this question? If Kris and Adam are both coming out with albums in the fall would there single be out this summer?
I can’t say I am surprised, just hoping for some official announcements right now.
I believe this is a done deal, in his interview with Idolatry, Kris seemed to be very confident about Allison’s future, IMO it indicates that she has been signed.
As for her first album, I am sure Jive (or whatever other label) will make her record during the tour to release the album sometime next fall, this is how they get the most advantage from the idol exposure.
I hope/expect that she will do rock/pop stuff first a la Kelly/Pink because it’s probably what she wants to do right now and it’s probably where the money is too. IMO, she has the less question marks of the 3 because we all know what she wants to do, it is a successfull genre and 19/Sony has proved they can manufacture a good album in that vein.
I really hope this is true and if it is, congrats to Allison! She was my second favorite after Adam and I think she has so much potential! Go Allison!
I hope this is true. I am thrilled for Allison!I want her album the most.
I agree she’s not really Disney type pop rock, she’s more Paramore type pop rock. But I don’t think we have to worry about Jive Disney-ing her, they are not really that type of label. They are parking Archie there for now, but they thrive on mainstream pop hits. I bet they go Paramore lite/Pink-ish with Allison.
In the past, Jive released Idol lead-off singles in early August. RCA seems to normally releases the first Idol single closer to the time of the album release (a couple of weeks before or after (so late October to early December). Last year, RCA decided to release Cook’s first single at the beginning of September.
It’s called Take It Or Leave It, and it’s still on the web, on the Youtube channel of the guy who produced it:

A good, catchy song, though it could definitely benefit from a full-on professional re-recording. I could be happy with this style of record from her.
Just keep her away from the cutesy crap!
I agree with everything you said.
The records don’t come out in order of how they finished on the program. Just last year, DA’s came out before DC’s. Kellie’s came out whenever because she was doing country and Kat’s record had nothing to do with hers. People need to understand that Idol is a tv show. When it ends, the top 10 are in the real world. The real world doesn’t operate according to Idol rules. The real marketplace has its own logic and its own rules.
I’m thrilled, but not surprised, that Allison is being signed and will have top-notch support. I expected no less. I feel that she and Adam were the most talented from the season, followed by Kris. Allison is my favorite, I love her voice, and her personality and attitude, she’s going to be a big, big star, she’s incredible. Can’t wait.
