It’s just one Idol album after another right now! Allison Iraheta — my second-fave of last season, although she placed fourth — is releasing her album, Just Like You, tomorrow. (It’s already available on iTunes.) You can catch the video for her first single, “Friday I’ll Be Over U,” above. And below find another single off the album, “Robot Love.”

I have to admit — I’m really disappointed. I feel like they took this phenomenal, versatile, nuanced singer and forced her into really cheesy teen-pop that doesn’t even begin to show off her capability. And my knee-jerk reaction is just to resent anyone who spells “You” as “U” in the title of a song. Like, you are not singing an instant message. It’s just a matter of time before Britney Spears comes out with a track called “You Make Me Angry >:( But I Will Still Bang You ;) Because You Have a Giant Penis 8========|)”

In fairness, I haven’t heard the whole album yet, but I’m already annoyed with whomever produced this crap. >:(

Recognize this little girl? You should, she’s on your television every week singing on American Idol. But this isn’t her first televised singing competition! In 2007, Allison won a Telemundo show called ‘Quinceañera: Mama Quiero Ser Artista’ (Sweet Fifteen: Mom, I Want to be an Artist). On the show, a group of teenagers were competing for a recording contract and a $50,000 cash prize. And Allison won! Apparently she never actually recorded an album — and no one’s quite sure if winning the show should make her ineligible for Idol.

I say give the girl a break. She was like 14 back then! She couldn’t have even auditioned for Idol if she’d wanted to. And if we didn’t allow people to participate in more than one reality TV show, what would become of Adrianne Curry’s flourishing career? (Don’t answer that.) I still love Allison, I think she’s tremendously talented, and I’ll vote for her again next week! (Although I will make damn sure to vote for Adam Lambert, too — everyone must have assumed he was safe!)
