Allison Iraheta Also Signs With 19 Recordings
There was all sorts of news yesterday about the contracts given to this year’s American Idol finalists. I 
wrote about Kris Allen and Adam Lambert and now I’m happy to report that Allison Iraheta has also been signed to 19 Records.
Like Kris, Allison has been licensed to Jive Records (Adam is with RCA). All three albums are expected to drop some time this fall. “I think I’m still in shock that this is happening — getting to record my first album and this whole awesome experience is a dream come true!” Allison said in a statement.
Okay, so that takes care of the winner, runner-up and fourth place finisher but what about Danny Gokey, who finished in third place? So far, I haven’t heard anything about him being signed and I think it’s too bad. Surely, there is a place for Danny even in the gospel industry. He has a good look and a great voice so I hope he gets some sort of deal soon!

I love Allison! I knew she’d get a deal even if she lost the contest. In the end, I think she’s better off, too, because many Idol losers ended up becoming more successful than the winners themselves. I came across this gallery of all the past “losers.” http://tinyurl.com/idolloserphotos Honestly, I remember these guys more than the winners anyway!
