Allison Iraheta took to twitter last night to speak to her fans for the first time since she was dropped by her label, Jive Records:

You’ve gotta work hard for what u want.. U cant always expect shit to be done for you. There will always come a time where u just have to take things into your own hands… Wana thank you guys for ur support and words!! Again… I’m not goin anywhere:)

Was talkin to someone very important in my life yesterday about how crazy music is.. And how it can touch u in so many ways… How u can hear ONE song repeatedly and never get tired of it… How u can feel somethin different each and everytime u hear it… How it takes u back to that very first time u heard it.. and even gives u that very same feelin u felt when u did..theres just no need for visuals… It’s crazy..

Good luck Allison!  She’ll land another record deal, even if it takes a little while.  There’s too much raw talent there to waste.

    Thanks MJ for the thread! And please tell us if we are overstepping the thread rules…

    I just wanted to add, that, even though Allison’s current CD wasn’t written by her – I don’t consider it being bad just because of that fact.

    I thoroughly enjoy it, and – as is – is a great album. Someone said that, with Allison’s CD, different people have different favourites – or even change favourites with time… which I take as a sign that the album has many consistently good songs.

    It was fairly confusing to me what it meant that she is no longer with Jive but still under 19R.

    I think its a good sign that 19R is holding on to Alli. The press release read “…Allison had parted ways with her label…” I take that as negotiations break down. 19 on behalf of Allison, couldn’t agree with Jive on the direction of her future. Allison is in good standing. In taking a quick look at S9 idols, I think at this time last year Allison had more followers on twitter than the winner has at this point, let alone Crystal or the fourth placer. If thats any indication, for whatever is worth. A major label signing is imminent.

    She’s so genuine and pure (talent-wise). I just don’t think “people” (as in mainstream audience) have found her yet. She’ll get there! Someday she will be famous and the people that haven’t been following her will be like, “where the heck did she come from? She sure had it easy!’ lol

    That’s just the political correct term used when someone is dropped from their label. Google Allison Iraheta and every article says she was dropped by her label. There was no talk of any contract negotiations at all.

    This is just all speculation. There is no factual indication that she will be picked up by a major label. In fact, if you look at Idols who have been dropped, most are never signed back to major labels.

    There is also no correlation to the number of Twitter followers and record sales. Also, not all followers on Twitter are necessarily even fans.

    I’ll take the press release over a google search any day. Any talk of negotiations aren’t made public until finalized, standard legal operation. Even that press release had to be questioned and sought after by someone in the media, EW’s Slezak.

    Nothing is factual until is final, but if we go by probabilities, then the percentages are that she will make music and release records through out her 20s at the very least. And when you say “most” are never signed to a “major”(without cross checking your claims),then there exists another set of probabilities. Time, talent and even buzz is on her side. All things considered, 19 are in the business of making money, but even if they decide to “part ways”, she still has a dream spot starting point.

    Same here, considering not all sites are reliable with their information.

    Came back to this thread since lately I’ve been craving more of Allison’s music.
    Just listening to her live performances on shows and everything I’d be surprised if a label didn’t pick her up. Especially since she’s showing good work ethic by still continuing forward and writing!

    I still can’t express how excited I am to hear that she’s writing (or was writing anyway according to her twitter). :D

    Most likely the reason that 19 didn’t let go of her was because they still want her. Perhaps they thought Jive wasn’t the best fit for her just like some of her fans thought. I could be wrong of course, but that’s the story I’ll be sticking to for now. :)

    allison isn’t going anywhere 19e 19r is owned by Simeon fuller and he is the one that wanted allison from the start before s8 even hit the airwaves mr Fuller has stated that she was to be singed no matter where she placed on idol

    even when she sang in front of the judges the first time you could tell that thay were giving orders to put her through (kara; i wish you could wait another year) and listen to the rest of the judges this was a TPTB order put her through

    even when crazy bich told ryan that she was the best singer in the room were did the camera pan to? out of all the people in the room the only face you see is allison

    19e 19r has dropped jive at the same time jive drop allison to me it looks like when 19e got rid of jive 19 did the best thing took allison with them

    @jason1313 interesting teory, but I think that if that were the case, she would have been pimped a little bit more. Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta were almost completely unknown to the public until the second group elimination. I remember from that time, before the group rounds, that Danny Gokey and Lil Rounds were the early favourites. Allison’s “Alone” moment was an unexpected moment that put her in the running – and that is after a spacy interview and the shock of hearing she was going to sing “Alone”. In any case, hopefully she has people sticking to their guns with her career – she has so much to give still.

    Impatiently waiting for something new from Allison. She’s been gone too long.

    In the meantime… I want to wish a happy birthday to one of her biggest fans. I miss my basement buddies!

    ETA: Ooops! Its still 12/13 where I live!

    I miss my basement buddies!

    Again, me too! One day Allison will give us something to talk about. It has to happen. Right? Haha.
