Well, my local walmart fails. They don’t have Allison’s album because they are apparently “behind in receiving music shipments by a week or two”. They didn’t even have Allison’s album in their system. I didn’t see Adam’s album there either, but I didn’t look too much, as I’m not a fan.

Target, which is on the same street, had it. So I bought my copy there. But I can’t help but be a bit miffed that they don’t even have Allison in their system at Walmart yet. I hope my local walmart is the only one with that problem and that this won’t affect her sales.

MollyAnnMay: I also get sucked into ‘Don’t Waste the Pretty,’ ‘Trouble Is’ and ‘D is for Dangerous’ immediately. Oddly, even the songs that were a bit generic for me from the snippets (I didn’t listen to the stream) are pleasing me at full length.

JohnM: So funny how things differ ‘â€ right from the start of listening to the snippets, those were the three that stood out to me as ones that would be favorites of mine (and they still are).

Oops, no, no! Forgive my bad writing up there — it was late and I was not particularly coherent. I *love* those three songs and did from the snippets forward. The ones I thought were generic were… well, I honestly can’t remember right now because they don’t sound generic to me anymore. So it’s all good. : )

That was fantastic! And yeah, I was having way too much fun grinning from ear to ear, singing along and dancing in my chair (thank god for having a private office) to notice anything but a remarkable voice and energy that lights up the sky. Woo!

ETA: Wait, what? People are seriously thinking that was a bad performance? Ahahaha! I’ve seen many, many live performances in my day and this was nowhere near bad. In fact, it was damn good, considering the circumstances.

Who cares about a couple barely noticeable off pitch notes? Only those who don’t understand anything about live performance or what rock (okay, in this case pop, but she *will* rock, given the chance) music is all about.

Well, I cannot edit…I got a 10 sec snip of Holiday, not DWTP. Pitch? Who cares? Only those who appreciate and understand music.

All I saw were dollar signs jumping off the TV screen.

Sizzling energy, snappy banter, Disney level cute sparkly girl band (Female drummer!!!), healthy-not-crazy-skinny high energy smiling spunky great singer with teen envy cascade of soft red hair, yet she’s still got that rocker growl. It was a giantly successful kick-off. Too bad kids were in school and didn’t see it. Hope the internet replay happens.

Caught this performance — and glad I did — by chance. (Just turned on TV for Ellen, and was going to put DVR on pause).

Pitch? Who cares. Didn’t notice because was so happy to hear her firey real delivery instead of auto-tuned recording.

Feel good, Allison fans, your girl delivered.

Allison Iraheta Deluxe at #5
Allison Iraheta Non-Deluxe #12
The non deluxe might beat out the deluxe version. Its a sign non hardcore fans are buying, or, the viewers who saw her on the show but have lost touch since May, and have seen Alli again today. I dont think there are any significant amount of non idol fans, because her music hasn’t been heard on the radio much if at all.

I only got the FIBOU sub-par performance and a 10 second snippet of DWTP here. JohnM, I doubt it’s her fault as well, but the performance pitch-wise was a wreck. For me, there is only pitch. Oh, No!!!!!

you guys sounded so negative!

I have to listen to it and then I will judge

I have been a musician for 25 years so I understand those kinds of criticisms

Really liked:
Still Breathing
No One Else
Beat Me Up (thought this should have been the first single)
You Don’t Know Me
Just Like You
Scars

She sounds great. Congratulations Allison!

Oh no, I wouldn’t say she blew it at all. There were pitch problems, which may or may not have been her fault (though she’s so accurate that it’s extremely doubtful that it was her fault), and it remains to be seen how many people will even notice those problems. But that’s the only potential negative at all — aside from that, it was a grand slam home run in my book.

I’m suprised Allison sang holiday since Dilana is singing it too.

I downloaded the album this morning, and its good. Now I have Kris, Adam’s and Allison’s debut albums!

JohnM I completely agree with you. She pitched out on several occasions most especially when singing along with the band. I happened to catch Adam on Slezaks realite, and he said that sometimes the vocal track gets sent out to tv and not a monitor(like the old days) or the stage PA to bounce off the studio which helps the vocalist feel himself in the mix. Its all ear piece today.

It is a good looking band, mosdef.
Priscilla …have mercy!
