Confirmed: Allison Iraheta inks Jive Records Deal
posted by roberta — Jun 10th, 2009
It was just a rumor before, but now we have confirmation that former “American Idol” contestant Allison Iraheta has signed with 19 Recordings and is having her albums licensed to Jive Records.
She said in a statement, “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!”
Is Danny Gokey next? He said, “There’s nothing to report just yet.”
I thought the point of winning “American Idol” was to get the record deal. Now all of the runners-up are getting signed, as well. Not taking anything away from their talent, but I thought the point was to win and get signed. Not lose the competition and still get a record deal.
I love Allison! I knew she’d get a deal even if she lost the contest. In the end, I think she’s better off, too, because many Idol losers ended up becoming more successful than the winners themselves. I came across this gallery of all the past “losers.” http://tinyurl.com/idolloserphotos Honestly, I remember these guys more than the winners anyway!

Do you realize how asinine you sound? If me, I would edit this immediately. It is ridiculous. Laughable.
