Allison Iraheta, Blake Lewis, Brandon Rogers, Didi Benami, Matt Giraud, Michael Johns and Tim Urban performed a Free concert at Union Station Great Hall in Chicago, IL Friday night.

The performances included a brand new song from Allison Iraheta called “Nothing at All”.

I become ridiculously excited when Idols from different seasons sing together.  Check out a slew of performances below.

    You guys are really underestimating Allison.. This girl has it all.. She can do pop,rock,blues,Jazz,soul etc you name it. Her voice speaks for itself.. her voice has gotten a lot stronger since idol.. with the right music and the right single this girl can have a big hit in her hands. Don’t count her out just yet. the heta will be sticking around for a long time.. Te Queremos Allison.. “Your like no one else”.

    I saw Allison open for Adam three times. She was absolutely fantastic, and got better as the summer went on. Matt Giraud was the surprise stand out at the AI 8 Tour show ( besides Adam!!). I’ve never seen Michael Johns live, but I loved him on Idol and was shocked at his early vote-off. He is so talented. ( and pretty easy on the eyes, to boot).

    I wish these guys the best, and hope they can get better gigs.

    The concert was free to the public, but I doubt that means that the idol alums played for free.  Everyone who was there seems to get steady employment doing what they love, and Allison has been in the studio since she was released from Jive.  They are paying their dues just like many other new artists do, and with luck, any and all of them could land a contract with a major label.

    I want to like Allison.  She’s got a great voice.  And I was hoping with a little time under her belt, she’d get better.  But for me, she’s unwatchable.  Way too manic.  The new song does sound promising, though.  This suits her voice much better than the crap that was on her CD.  Now if she could just learn to enunciate . . .

    Did I say Allison was manic?  Uhh, I think Didi has her beat in that department, lol!  (Sorry, just got done watching more videos.)  Michael Johns and Matt Girard seem very promising.  I wish someone would take Allison under their wing and help her develop as an artist.  She has so much talent, but something just isn’t working.

    I so agree with you happyhexer.  Allison has a nice voice but I just find her mannerisms annoying, she is also hard to understand at times, well most of the time for me.

    I liked Allisan on Idol – a lot. But then I saw her a couple times when she was touring during the summer of 2010. I could never understand a thing she was singing, her mannerisms were goofy, but the worst part was she was inside of her head the whole time. She closed her eyes and made no connection with the audience at all. At least she looked at the audience a little here – but not much. She comes off as uncomfortable on stage. And the mannerisms make her look like a young female version of Joe Cocker. I don’t mean to be so harsh. She is still only around 20. But she has had enough performing experience by now to have worked through discomfort up there. I contrast that with Haley, who seems so comfortable up on stage and in her skin and looks like she really enjoys herself up there.
    I loved Allisan’s voice on Idol and I hated what they had her sing on her first album. I hope she does well, I really do. But I’m just not feeling her at all.

    The second Allison album will be epic (from the songs that are being filtered here and there). Maybe not a commercial success, but with good music. (Not that her first album was bad at all)

    About Allison being so manic… maybe this is only in the club settings. If you see her recent video at the Microsoft Partner’s Conference (Viva La Vida), which was more of an arena setting, it isn’t as “unwatchable”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bALr5X95BQ8
