I was sitting at home and American Idol crossed my mind. I thought about this outstanding performance of Pappas was a rolling stone. I remembered that the girl had red hair. Then I searched and found the video. You know someone is talented when you realize that it was 11 years ago.
God daaamm it ... This is a first time I hear her singing and ... she has an awesome voice ... so powerfull and different that other girls and womans singin
April 27, 2020 & I'm watching this video today, along with the December 2019 videos of Adam Lambert's tour of his album VELVET - of which Allison is his back-up vocalist and she's still awesome, as is Adam - both doing FINE
If this were ANY other season (possibly besides 1 and 4), she would've WON by a freaking LANDSLIDE.. she just auditioned in the wrong season that's all
I knew Allison was gonna have a good performance. I was sooo wrong, that wasn't good at all, THAT WAS GREAT, I was jumping like crazy, I couldn't believe it.....ohhhh great memories.............I love you Allison
Allison is soooooooo much better then anybody on this season 10,she would have sailed to the AI victory,but instead she is making great cds now.good choice
She is marvellous. Simon Cowell's antics with Abdul are, it seems, designed to distract attention from Allison's performance. Why is that? The look on her face seems to show puzzlement and a feeling that, in her moment of triumph, they belittled her. Shame on both of them.
Her and Adam should have been in the Top 2. Not Kris. Kris sucks I personally think compared to Adam and Allison. The only reason Adam didnt win is because he is gay. Which I think is not fair to him. Kris only won because hes cute. And thats my take on Season 8. Oh and that its been the best season of American Idol since Fantasia. =]
looking back on this performance, I still get upset over the actions of Paula and Simon - like two children, which detracted from Allison's performance; SOMEONE in the audience should have spoken up - I would have, even if it meant being kicked out ! I really dislike that Simon and she acts like a child, never grew up and still throws hissy fits
actually people did get upset because of it... but it wad impossible to stop them it was Paula's last season and she and Simom were so into each other those months that at the end nobody cared
@britmh77 not really, unfortunately this was one of her few "best" performances. It's hard to compete with the other powerhouses that were in this year.
That last note, man, 10 years later and I keep coming back to this.
Tell me about it lmao
Same
Now this is why Allison and Adam Lambert were my top favorite that year!Love her to peices!
Omg!! I’m still listening to this in 2023, and still get chills!!!
One of the best American Idol performances of all time. Her last note nearly shattered my monitor. Sixteen years old? Unreal.
that ending gives me chills.. the good kind.
YES my fave part!!! Still gets me to this day! :D

This and Alone are my two favourite Allison performances
2024 ..that last note still remains undefeated
Best Season so far and one of the BEST performances on the show! Just sayin!
she did an AMAZING job. i have never heard a girl sing this song before and i loove this version
It’s 2024, and Lawd Jesus, that last night is still so so good!
Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta are the best it just sucks that none of them won
it's 2022 and i still think about this cover
This is my all time favorite performance ever on AGT
I love Kara's reaction.
I always remember this. So good!
This performance blew me away ! Amazing! How come she isn't friggin famous yet?! Jesus.
I never seen this. She effing KILLED this.
It sucks that they keep removing these videos. Her Idol performances were soo good, people deserve to see them again!
She inspires me to sing!
I love her.....she's the best!
Possibly the best ending to any song performance I've ever heard. Just spine tingling in the last 10 seconds.
that note at the end is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO MUCH SOUL IN IT !! AMAZING
Still gives me chills, even in 2011!!!
God daaamm it ... This is a first time I hear her singing and ... she has an awesome voice ... so powerfull and different that other girls and womans singin
First time I lit up the phones to vote and last time was for her.Starts with voice and that stage presence.
she has the full package. including her amazing outfit
This performance was what made me become an Allison Fan!
Man this performance was STUNNING! Soooo amazing 10 years later. Her outfit and style were just so cool. And she had such confidence!
Still gives me chills
ive been looking for this video since season 9,glad somebody posted it
This performance was great.
Allison always been a wonderful singer
thx you! i've been searching this for soooo long .

She is amazing
even when she fucks up she is amazing--she bonked the verse in the middle and recovered like nothing happened---wow!!!
Amazing, simple Amazing

im still watching this videos in 2012
If this were ANY other season (possibly besides 1 and 4), she would've WON by a freaking LANDSLIDE.. she just auditioned in the wrong season that's all
she should have won her season my opinion
@@Tomwolverton It should’ve been Adam with her being runner-up
not a chance competing with David Cook
This wasn't David cook season.
Love it ❤️
Damn I still dig this girl
Dealin' love and deetnin' in the name of the law--------what a pro. she screws up and doesn't miss a beat!!!!
I knew Allison was gonna have a good performance. I was sooo wrong, that wasn't good at all, THAT WAS GREAT, I was jumping like crazy, I couldn't believe it.....ohhhh great memories.............I love you Allison
She did good
She sings circles around everyone in the competition this year.... I have a feeling that Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj would like her
1 person's papa was a rollin' stone
ALLISON AND HALEY, THE 2 UNDERDOG CONTESTANTS WHO RISED UP TO THE TOP AND DESERVED TO BOTH WIN IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SEASONS BUT GOT ROBBED!!!
Smokey
Legend
Allison is soooooooo much better then anybody on this season 10,she would have sailed to the AI victory,but instead she is making great cds now.good choice
She handled it well
FUCK! That was awesome!
@SarahGlambert this was Motown week
@SarahGlambert This was "MOTOWN WEEK"
Erm.....i'm still listening to this in 2012?
I miss Paula and Kara's frequent standing ovations :(
@SarahGlambert This was MoTown week if im not mistaken
She's 16!!!! WOW, I can't believe she's the same age as me
@AIS8rocks It was Motown week
@SarahGlambert It was Mototown week ;)
@SarahGlambert I think it was Motown week.
@SarahGlambert it was motown week
She was 16. This was her first opportunity for Idol. At least it was this season. Have you seen the female massacres in later seasons?
por favor alguien me puede decir que dice su mentor por favorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no hablo ingles gracias me encanta Allison
We wore out three phones calling in our votes that night.
Ohh ok i didn't see season 8. thats why i wanted to catch up on youtube....you know...when i found out about Adam ^_^ Thanks @MsRockerGal44
16…..like are you FREAKING kidding me?????
she should have won hands down
2012
sin duda la mejor junto a adan lambert
How did she lose??????????????????
MashaAllah talk about soul on that hermana :D
She is a great singer or what?
Allison was SUPPOSED TO WIINNNN! :(
She is marvellous. Simon Cowell's antics with Abdul are, it seems, designed to distract attention from Allison's performance. Why is that? The look on her face seems to show puzzlement and a feeling that, in her moment of triumph, they belittled her. Shame on both of them.
could someone please tell me what week this was? thanks :) Allison is amazing btw
@SarahGlambert motown week
there really was no point to watch the other contestents after allison and adam would sing xD
who is that women on 3:06
@frankisbored season 8
she said 'baba' in 1:55
:P
@SarahGlambert Motown week.
So, uh... why didn't she win, again?
please someone can tell me what your mentor says please do not speak English because I love Allison||||||||
the beginning wasn't the best but it got good
She reminds me of a modern Janis Joplin.
Allison is unreal. so good. but WHAT is on Paula Abdul? looks like a mustache and she keeps touching in too.
Feels like Christina Agurella....
haley reinhart reminds me of her...but allison is better
JenniRudolph nah they’re nothing alike, and Haley will never be as good as Allison
Amazing performance and she doesn't look or sound 16
It was pity Allison didn’t make the top 2 finale with Adam Lambert, and Adam Lambert didn’t win.
Her and Adam should have been in the Top 2. Not Kris. Kris sucks I personally think compared to Adam and Allison. The only reason Adam didnt win is because he is gay. Which I think is not fair to him. Kris only won because hes cute. And thats my take on Season 8. Oh and that its been the best season of American Idol since Fantasia. =]

It's hard to compete with the other powerhouses that were in this year.
My eardrums squirted semen from 1:06 - 2:41
Mostly vocal lessons... Too much moaning :/ nice ending though not enough to save da whole thing. Ok. 16 I forgive her.
i like her nose ! SHE'S GOT THE VIBE ;)
