    2. Adam

    3. Kris

    danny sucked and so did everyone else

  • SIMON ALWAYS HATED ON HER !!! ALLISON IS THE REAL DEAL "SKILLS"

  • @NJOMAR1 She was totally underrated.

  • @NJOMAR1 she has a lot of skills i mean alot but i think some of Simon hating on her was to help her

  • Whoever started the act of cheering during a song and whoever is responsible at Idol for hitting the applause sign button should be removed from this planet (I'm trying to be non-violent here). It totally ruins the song. I want to hear the music, not applause or screaming. Save it for when the song is over! Take a lesson from a symphony audience. It's not about you!

  • That was amazing.

  • @RiderXXX check out her someone like you cover...

  • damn so proud of being born in 1992.

  • @inkedfrogg1 you should check out her recent videos..

  • This is so so beautiful I just can t take it in. Im staggered. Where does a 16 year old get that kind of singing depth from. Its as moving as anything I have ever ever heard and boy have I heard some stuff. could reduce a grown man to tears !! ..ok I admit it..it did !! lol

  • She's amazing but I still prefer Adam Lambert's version of it. He sang it at Upright Cabaret before he auditioned for American Idol.

  • goosebumps

    

  • To bad she should have not answer to Simon

  • ALLISON IS SO TALENTED. NOT SURE WHY HOLIWOOD HAVE NOT GIVE HER TO MAKE A MOVIE

  • thumbs up if you listened to allison before she went on american idol with songs like ' scars ' and ' friday ill be over you ' and 'just like you' :)

  • @Revdancer23 Those songs came out after she was on Idol. She was on season 8 in 2009, her album came out in December of that same year.

  • she sang voices at1:00 so smooth and crisp.

  • Undeniably a true artist of tunes with a very unique voice,-of which one hopefully will hear much more in the future!

    Thank you for posting!

  • She nailed it !:) She deserves the limelight! :)

  • my favorite two contestants ever on this show are allison iraheta and haley reinhart........they were two girls who not only had unique voices but who knew what kind of singers they were gonna be and could sing many different genres of music and thats why theyre so great

  • Nobody likes meee?? :'O

  • She has a very unique voice

  • She’s only 16? I didn’t know

  • @raindropsneverfall Well she's 19 now

  • OMGG she was born the same dayy i was *O* only 5 years before i was lol

    ILY Allison :)

    Oh yeah .. thumbs up if yur watching this in 2011 - 2012 lol ^_^

  • Simon can be a real moron.....sigh....an idiot.

  • Her career is just beginning. This was the toughest year...too much talent, and she was up against the baby girls with cell phones on repeat dial.

  • one of the best performance of Allison.

  • carrie underwoof did alone better but allison did i cant make you love me better.

  • @TrashyTrannyTime carrie underwood*

  • Chris Daughtry, James Durbin, Allison Iraheta, 3 rockers gone in 4th place... much too soon.

  • Comment removed

  • I love her voice so much, holy!

  • Now THIS is how you growl with soul (ahem...Haley)

  • @brickjer1 Dont get me wrong... I liked Allison alot, but dont even try to implicate that Haley wasn't a good singer because that just makes you sound stupid.

  • best voice evvvvverrrrrrrr

  • season 8 rankings

    1. adam

    2. allison

    everyone else is irrelevant and talentless

  • @mcvalenc i disagree, they do have a lot of talent but kris allen had a good voice

  • @mcvalenc not true they were all very talented still are !!

  • @mcvalenc i soooooooooooooooooooooo agree with you

  • @mcvalenc Danny was good.

  • she should have been the winner :))

  • lol

  • REALLY REALLY awesome,

    good thing I've watched this

  • 2:03. enough said.

  • I miss Paula!:( Allison was great!!

  • Beautiful Allison!

  • @morpheusxnyc LMAO. Okay, I give up. Allison rocks, and I am asking, not telling, you to stop posting negative comments about her family members. I don't think Allison had a problem with what her mom said, so why should you?

  • haha well said randy!

  • her bday is like mine D:!?

  • That was such a hateful thing for her mother to say. Even if she didn't mean to be disrespectful. It was a slap followed by a hug.

    Seemed like a bit of unrecognized jealousy that sometimes manifests between the younger and older generations within a household.

  • @morpheusxnyc What did her mother do that was disrespectful? I don't get this comment.

  • @prMLA01 - Ok, let me put this into perspective for you.

    You're a young teenager being seen for the first time on national television on a hugely popular TV show.

    They go to interview your family and what does your mother say about you to the entire world? What image of you does she project of you?

    "She used to talk too much (making the yakety yak motion with her hand). She was a baby.. she talk ALOT.

    And I took her to a doctor and I ask, 'doctor, is something wrong with Allison?'"

    FML..

  • @morpheusxnyc Remember that english is not Allison's mom's native language, it's spanish. Her mom probably didn't mean to say it like it was a bad thing that Allison talked a lot, she just didn't know any other word to use besides 'wrong'.

  • @youmaysayimadreamer5 - LMAO! By the time she got to the doctor part, the damage had already been done.

    Believe me, I understand Latin culture very well and there's this bizarre habit of parents minimizing and putting down their children by telling embarrassing stories or speaking about them dismissively to other adults.

    I think it's rooted in self-deprecation, as if by showing that their children are less than perfect, that they are not the greatest parents and therefore, displaying humility.

  • @morpheusxnyc You are making this so much more complicated than it has to be. If you want to believe that Allison's mom embarrassed her daughter on purpose, then fine. You obviously strongly believe that, and that's your business so I won't waste time trying to change your mind.

  • @youmaysayimadreamer5 - Clearly our life acumen and cultural perspectives are different, so in your experience, parents don't subconsciously/unintentionally embarrass their children - they just inadvertently choose a string of unflattering things to say to total strangers about their children because they haven't mastered dipthongs and double consonants. (eye roll)

    You chalk it up to a language barrier, whereas I know better. I've seen it too many time not to see it for what it is.

  • @morpheusxnyc Like I said, you obviously strongly believe this, so I'm not going to attempt to change your mind.  I would appreciate it, however, if you focused on and commented about Allison's singing, which was amazing as always, instead of what her mother said.

  • @youmaysayimadreamer5 - Watch that presumptuous parental tone you're taking with me. I'll speak about whatever I damn well please.

    Unless you're the channel's owner, you're in no position of authority to tell ANYONE what they should or should not be commenting on, especially when you're not speaking from cultural experience and out of your depth.

    And I would "appreciate it" if whenever you see an opinion you disagree with that you, you either debate it intelligently or else go kick rocks.

  • @morpheusxnyc Saying that she talks a lot isn't a bad thing at all. It's just meant to be a cute and fun baby story, not embarassing at all.

  • @prMLA01 - If you're doing that with friends/neighbors in the privacy of your own home and it's just between you, telling embarrassing stories or humiliating your child to get a laugh is fine.

    Hell, break out old embarrassing childhood photos if you like.

    But if your child is competing on TV you don't torpedo or embarrass them by divulging embarrassing secrets, anecdotes or anything that is unflattering or potentially disparaging.

    She knocked the cool out of Allison's walk with that mess.

  • how does she do that with her voice?! amazing.

  • love her voice so much.... love it!!

  • I HATE SIMON!

  • She should have won, period. I was so mad she got 3rd place. I loved most of the contestants that year but she had the most talent out of all of them.

  • @cmsavage She got fourth place, Danny Gokey got third.

  • I have listened I Can't Make You Love Me Many Cover by Another Artists/Singer..

    But Just Her, ALLISON IRAHETA, can take this SONG PERFECTLY!!!!

    The soul of the Song can go Out into Audience,,,,

    I'm Carrie Underwood Fans, And I Think, carrie Also can't take this song emotionally, well,, as She sang it when first audition Idol. Carrie has Beautiful voice, which Strong vocal, more than her, But, This Song need temper and FEELING around, And the One who get it is ALLISON ;)

    I've listened 1000 times

  • @jeniusizzy - Allison has this rich, smoky quality to her voice that makes it sound so much more mature than her years.

    Another wonderful artist (though she doesn't sound smoky, but has one of the most amazing voices EVER) who also did this song is Melissa Polinar. She has such a beautiful puretone that you can't help but be moved to tears.

    Search for Melissa Polinar + I can't make you love me on YouTube. You'll love it.

  • Best cover of this song in existance!

  • Jee I know its late but where do I send my vote.

  • how kris won over this...i have no idea

  • This performance was so awesome I don't have words to describe how GREAT she sang this song. It was soulful, her runs were sick and it was so effortless.  Plus she gave it a rough edge but it was still emotional and tender. BRILLIANT!!!!

  • ive commented on this before but had 2 again...i just LOVE her version of this song so much ..just made it so special! wow pure soul and talent

  • Wow wow Woweeeeeeee... u have an amazing voice... Keep up that awesome singing of urs.. U are blessed from the Man above and that is good u are using ur talent for all the world to hear... Ur amazing.......

  • She's adorable. And super talented.

    Cowell is a conniving ego maniac who wouldn't know talent if it kicked him in his pea sized balls.

  • ''here i am today'' ????

    cant see any1 buying your music in 5 years time.

  • wow she is so good

    go alison

  • she's great, she has a kickass voice - but the music she's come out with after american idol is crapp.

  • @ThatNatalieGirl Don't say that! What about Lambert? Sureeeeee, his album is great (sarcasm)

  • @ThatNatalieGirl have you heard the whole album? it has good songs

  • @MichalliePR Yes indeed!!!. Too bad more people haven't discovered the album or her yet. However I predict it's only a matter of time!!!!.

  • unfucinbelievable

  • this is still my all time favorite from American Idol

  • 10/21/2010 - A year and a half later, I still search for this live version.....it moves me like not too many other songs I have ever heard !!!

    44 y.o. white guy in CT.

  • @sarees1 Age is no barrier in appreciating Allison, just ask me. lol

  • tremenda cantante,segui adelante Allison

  • of all versions i like loveee this so much better! i wish she sang the whole song....

  • Wooow.. Allison... Ity made me cry.... She is amazeing

  • An outrageous cover of one of the best songs ever written. Bonnie Raitt would be proud. (she sang it, but didn't write it). A very difficult song to sing and this 17 year blows it away. Very impressive and Simon was off the mark as usual regarding the personal stuff. When he forms an opinion about someone personally, they're finished. She needed to be blond and gorgeous and he'd like her just fine. He's a shameless dog.

  • SHE DESEVES WAY MORE ATTENTION! she is really talented and 1 of the best singers around! and yes u just hear 1 note and its undiniably...... ALLISON!

  • PRICELESS!!

  • @Joselyn559 I agreee this performance is priceless. The producer of the studio single version has not captured the depth of soul and feeling exhibited in this performance. What a shame we cannot hear the full song sung like this!!!

  • The Dr. was right. Allison is the greatest singer around. Why didn't she win is beyond my comprehension. Was it 'cause she's Latina? I hope I'm wrong on that one. Allison proved over & over that she was the best; she actually sang better than Kriss, Adam, & Gecko together (no offense!) Now, that clown Simon comes up with some ridiculous things like she talks too much, that she's 2 B more likeable, etc. How pathetic. Allison Iraheta was born to be a STAR. She's a music STAR, and surely much more.

  • @Huracan9011 No offense, because I love Kris, Adam, Allison, Danny, Matt and all of them, basically.. I don't care who won, because in the end, like Adam said, the title isn't what means anything.. It's that they get to do what they love.. Allison is still a big star, she may not have been recognized as much as Adam or Kris, but we all love her the same... I just think she still needs more confidence in herself.. She's grown alot since Idol though:D I deff support her throughout all this..

  • @Huracan9011  I agree w/ ur comment as its ENTIRETY.

  • @Huracan9011 probably more like her age they tour and it's grueling can't have your talent giving up mid booked tour lawyers start getting involved and the crust of the earth cracks open

  • @sirlonghair - " and the crust of the earth cracks open" - LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! HI-LARIOUS!!

  • OMG!!! Ay dios mio!!! Allison sings this song better than the original singer. It doesn't surprise me, though, cause Allison is pure talent and will have much success in the years to come.

  • This girl has some pipes!

  • This was by far her best performance on AI

  • This was by far her best performance on AI

  • It upsets me that Allison isn't given the attention she deserves...this girl is the real deal! Those vocals KILL Miley or Miranda Cosgrove! Put this lady on the radio right next to Adam!!

  • I love this artist

  • this version made me love this song i thought this song was okay but when i heard her sing this song it made me looveee it...i hope she is releasing sum music cuz i love her voice

  • @reeeltalk she already has a cd out... Just Like You it's amazing!! check it out!

  • Tiene un futuro muy prometedor...hermosa voz.

  • INCOMPARABLE she's true musical artist she's so unbeleable amazing

  • Kara had it right; "Let's go make a record!" Allison not only made one, she made a classic!!!!!

  • I LOVE ALLISON VOICE

  • she's got a gorgeous tone.<3

  • One of the best performances ever!

  • allison u r amazing!! :) never forget that u have got it girl!!! i will be a fan FOREVER!!!

  • I still don't get how gokey made the top 3 and she didn't... I'm sorry that's so stupid

  • @JuHeartMusic dream on dream on dream on BWRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • she sang it better than aaron kelly

  • @degrassi1234567 Who is Aaron Kelly

  • @extranosito some1 else on idol this year

  • @degrassi1234567 Ok...

  • Mama Iraheta: She's going to be a Star!

  • @roquemocan And Mama Iraheta is so damn right :D She's just so AWESOME.....Beautifull performance ;)
