Her sing-out was the best "moment" of season 8. She also had a great attitude--cheerful, positive, even when voted off. I'd love to see Jive pair her with Archie. Both are prodigies. Both have powerful, distinctive voices. Not surprised Jive signed her. Her sing-out was the best “moment” of season 8. She also had a great attitude–cheerful, positive, even when voted off.

After "I can't make you love me" and Kara saying "Let's just make a record", I was pretty sure she had a good shot at a deal, the following weeks just confirmed it. Like everyone else here, I hope they stick with pop/rock stuff and don't go too much in the teen/pop or rnb/pop, one or two track to bring some diversity are fine with me but nothing more than that.

And, she really doesn't know all of her letters yet anyway :) She will be so excited about her "tm" though. And, she'd be extremely happy to know about Allison's record deal, provided she actually knew what a record deal was. Obviously, I'll have to buy this cd for sure. Allison was the first teen on this show that I ever voted for as well. Mostly because she was the first one who didn't appear to be a pageant-bot to me.

Sorry, NOT going to happen, at least not with 19. He should look into a niche Christian label. since they are in signing mode (and I'm seeing more articles pop up that mention all three signings now together), if they have any more, I expect them this week. I swear, if Megan gets signed, I'll hurl. did you all see the TV Guide article asking about Gokey, and wondering if he was going to get a deal? Sorry, NOT going to happen, at least not with 19.

Some of the early insider reports that have been dead on accurate so far indicated that Jive was well prepared to work with Alli long before season's end. Even A&R had been selected along with some notable producers and writers. Very exciting times for Alli and for all who appreciate the privilege of witnessing a prodigy blossom.
