Fourth place finisher signs a record contract

Seventeen year old high schooler,  Allison Iraheta, “American Idol,” has signed a contract with 19 Recordings, the company affiliated with the top-rated reality show.

Iraheta joins Adam and Kris with this company.

Fuller said Iraheta is one of the best teenage singers the show has ever discovered. Her big songs included the jazz standard “Someone to Watch Over Me” and Heart’s “Alone.”

Iraheta, who lives in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey, has said that she aspired to compete on “American Idol” since she was 9 years-old.

Jive Records, which is owned by Sony Corp will releas Allison’s album.

There has been no announcement about recording plans for third-place finisher Danny Gokey.

With Slash mentoring, it should be a great time.  What songs do you think the Idols are going to pick? My selections after the jump!
