Still, I have confidence that talent will prevail. I have to believe that.

And, I have to believe that if there is justice in the world, Katy Stevens will not win Season 9. No offense Katy – I just couldn’t deal with that.

Next week could’ve been perfect for Alli on the big stage. Early on I was envisioning David in black jamming on the guitar to the right and Priscilla to her left laying down the bass, and Valerie with her blond hair all over the place from pounding those skins and head banging. All the while, Allison torching the stage from side to side throwing it down with her booming pipes. She’s got the coolest band – sick nasty.
There’s always next year, bah. ….

So Orianthi will be performing on the big stage with her band, and today Matt performed to a bigger audience than Alli did competing with the Olympics – just as I suspected.

Don’t forget that Danny performed with his band too, while they made Allison perform by herself with the Idol band hidden in the shadows instead of with her own musicians. They just don’t treat her like she deserves.

Like the show, Allison ” ain’t accepting no hand-outs” because she’ll persevere. Watch.

Still, only wishful thinking on my part.

Yeah, well I thought she might get the elimination song, and look how that turned out… They picked a horrible song from somebody else.

But ‘don’t stop believin’ jordison… I admire you for it!

BTW, the LA marathon is the second biggest marathon in the US, right after the NYC marathon. What is so funny about her singing the national anthem? Specially when you consider that she’s from LA and has run the marathon twice before.

It’s about time LA recognized Allison as being one of it’s own. I’m from the LA Area, and it’s really pissed me off how little recognition Allison has received in the LA media. But, this is not at all unusual for this area. Too bad she’s not from Milwaukee, Little Rock, or any place that seems to care about supporting it’s own.

Still, the National Anthem is hardly a career maker or breaker, and I hope Allison’s version isn’t compared to those of Carrie, Jordin, Kris, or whoever. As long as she sings it respectfully, that’s good enough.

I am not sure there will be another album. National anthem at LA marathon? lol

Oh please…

I wish she had appeared on Idol after a few of the others from her season had appeared. I think she could have picked up a few tips from them, and maybe she would have done more self-promotion. It may have also gotten her competitive juices flowing!

I agree. I thought there was some sort of hierarchy protocol, where they come back in inverse order to the way they finished. So, why are Scott and Matt coming on the show after Danny and Allison? But, maybe it was nothing more than an availability factor.

A thought just popped into my head, which is totally a result of wishful thinking – unsupported by anything else. What if, inspired by the synergy of the Kradison concert, the producers are planning a surprise Kradison performance somewhere downstream. In that case, it would make sense to try to separate Allison’s and Kris’ appearances from that date as much as possible. Of course, Kris’ was driven by the timely need to raise money for Haiti, which trumps any other considerations; but this still could have been a factor.

Still, only wishful thinking on my part.

I hope good things happen for her. She’s got mad talent.

BTW – Did anybody see Kristen Stewart on the Tonight Show last night? Her interview was pretty cringe-worthy, and she’s a couple of years older than Allison. It ain’t easy!

jordison – I only wish she, or the show, had plugged her album on her night.

I hope there won’t be another Jive album. Because albums, anybody can record and release their own record, even me. But in Idol world if you didn’t go platinum the first day your album dropped(purchased by housewives), then you’re doomed failure and at risk of being dropped by your label. It came as a shock to me as I read the boards, but thats the mentality. I know I said this before, but bands Im into normally took over two years to get any recognition. It wasn’t ’till their sophomore release that the Smashing Pumpkins finally started to get radio play and move a few hundred units. Pearl Jam toured for a year and change after their album dropped before they started getting noticed, and what can I say about GnR that I havent mentioned already. It took them two years into their debut until Sweet Child ‘O Mine broke, and once it did(while opening for Motley Crew & Aerosmith), they became headliners overnight. There’s a bunch of other bands that had it worst too…
There will be many albums to come, we can count on it.
