Is Allison Iraheta’s Record Deal Next?
Now that the American Idol Top 2, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have signed and announced their record deals with 19, will we be hearing about other 19 label deals with additional Season 8 alums?
The rumor that Allison Iraheta has signed with Jive, Kris Allen’s new label, has been persistent, and there’s been plenty of online chatter to support it, including some very interesting tweets:
- Allison had a breakfast meeting with songwriter Michael Jay (Celine Dion, Mandy Moore) in Beverly Hills on June 4th.
- Another meeting for Allison–this one with producer/songwriter Nick Furlong and Jive.
- Singer/songwriter/producer Dru Grange tweets, “had a great day yesterday, went to a meet and greet for American Idol top 4th place JIvE Records artist Allison Iraheta shes needs songs.”
An announcement this week that Allison Iraheta has signed with 19 and Jive records? Maybe!
Bonus: Meanwhile, Allison was was honored at this morningà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Los Angeles County supervisors’ meeting, where she “drew crowds and applause for her performances on the top-rated singing competition.” Read more HERE.

EW has an article saying Allison has now signed with Jive:

Congratulations to Allison! I’m so excited for her. :clap_tb:
EW.com has an interview with Kris up on their site as well right now. Here’s what he had to say about not being pushed into recordign stuff he isn’t comfortable with:
“I am really laid back and kind of go-with-the-flow, but I will never do anything that I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t believe in. So if thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a song that theyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re trying to shoot at me and Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m like, ehhhh, then it probably wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t happen. I think it would just be uncomfortable. You canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t do something that you donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t feel good about.”
It doesn’t sound like he’s going to let 19/Jive run roughshod over him when it comes to his music.
If this is the Claude Kelly who is writing with Kris, he has some pretty good credits…

Claude Kelly for Kris? Wow…. he’s wrote songs for Akon, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Lady GaGa, and Whitney Houston. I think he wrote Britney’s “Circus”.
