-So, apparently wikipedia editors don't want me uploading my custom photos of Allison, nor do you guys want me stating what her voice has been compared to so that people are simply left with "american singer"? Is this not a public encyclopedia? If they're worried about Fox's copywright of any image of Allison, they should know that their episodes are shared thousands of times over on bit torents.
-Does she have Japanese ancestry? —Preceding

Can we please get a picture of her? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.81.34.179 ( talk) 01:04, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Can anyone find the performances she did in Quinceanera?
Please do not remove this. I integrated this into the charts very successfully last season. (This applies to all of the Top 12 contenders.) It is factual information, in that it is an indisputable order in which the contestant performed on that particular night. And it is relevant to anyone doing a review or synopsis of the show who wants to analyze statistics and such. (Notice how all 3 who performed last on their respective nights made the Top 12.) It is an especially good record one they all perform on the same night. Thank you.-- Cinemaniac86 Oy_gevalt. 00:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
is it really necessary to put all those judges comments on the page? i feel like like they should be put on her fan page not her wikipedia page. 76.197.57.235 ( talk) 00:49, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
The following note has been added for Allison's Top 7B results column: "That Bottom group was really a Bottom 2 since before she and Anoop Desai were announced to be in the group, Lil Rounds was eliminated." I understand what they mean, but that doesn't make it a "bottom 2" because Lil and Anoop WERE the bottom 2, plain and simple. Allison was 3rd from last, even if they did send Lil home before announcing between Allison and Anoop who was going, that doesn't change the voting rank any.

The other contestants now have pics. If anyone can find one for Allison, that'd be great.-- Yolgnu ( talk) 10:59, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
There seems to be an edit war going on concerning Allison's rank for Top 5 week, with it being changed between "Safe" and "Top 2". Personally, I think we should just stick with "Safe" because A) Its a good idea to remain consistent, B) Listing "Top 2" for this week makes it seem like she WASNT in the top 2 any other weeks (and we dont know that), and C) The show didn't really make a big deal about her and Adam being the "top 2", just that they were "safe" and not in the bottom 3 (and yes I know they are the same thing in this case but you get what I mean). What do you think? MarkMc1990 ( talk) 01:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
It was removed as "unreliable source." Are we directly calling WAKS's news department unreliable, or are we questioning it because they're the only source reporting it? — C.Fred ( talk) 16:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
This edit war seems to still be going on. I just think that "Safe" is the most reliable one to keep on the article. Since "Top 2" makes it sound as if she were in the "Bottom 2". Believe me,people will get confused and have this as the idea of Allison. It has happened already. Also,a picture of Iraheta would also be nice,since other Season 8 contestants of American Idol already have a picture. So please. Whoever it is,stop changing it to "Top 2". Allison was safe that week period. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.133.6.56 ( talk) 09:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Since there is a dispute with the opening sentence of the article, I am starting a discussion here. Per WP:MOSBIO nationality not ethinicity should be given. Iraheta's nationality is American. Salvadoran American is an ethnic group not her nationality. As such and per WP:BRD I am going to put back the American link in the sentence with a reference back to this discussion. Aspects ( talk) 20:34, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Per the template directions, the occupation field in {{ Infobox musical artist}} is for roles the subject has fulfilled related to music (singer, producer, etc.) and notable occupations outside of music (e.g., actor). How is it notable now that Iraheta is a student? Practically all singers below 18 are. How will it affect the reader in 10 years that she was a student during her career? — C.Fred ( talk) 03:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
The album sales cited in the article at the moment - 90,000, ignore digital album sales. Please see here: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2010/03/kris-allen-allison-iraheta-see-post-idol-album-bump/1 Someone commented that the 106,000 number is double counting digital sales (90k+16k in digital) but that is not the case. My edit has been reverted twice already -- why is that? -- BignBad ( talk) 22:31, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
I went to school with Allison, and I know her and all, but the she doesn't attend this school anymore. She gets home schooled now, she's been like that ever since she went to American Idol -- 64.38.75.167 ( talk) 05:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
A Canadian IP ( 99.192.68.133) has changed the artist credit for Alone (Heart song) from Heart to "I-Ten". I reverted the change, then he reverted me, so I'm bringing it here. I think the artist that should be listed is the artist that made the song famous and/or the artist who was actually credited as the original artist on the show, which of course is Heart. So, even though the IP is correct that I-Ten did write the song and performed it first, I doubt that Allison thought that she was covering an I-Ten song when she performed it. I would like to see what the consensus here is as to what the artist credit should be.
Three other Idol articles on contestants who sang this song all originally credited Heart before two other Canadian IPs ( 99.192.86.108 and 142.68.46.126) changed them to "I-Ten" [1] [2] [3]. The most recent Idol page to mention the song also originally credited Heart but was then changed to I-Ten. [4] All other similar pages that mention the song, and credit the original artist, credit Heart [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Robman94 ( talk) 15:42, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
The new info that has been added about Halo Circus originates from Twitter posts by Iraheta which have now been tagged as WP:Citation needed. How can you cite a tweat when Twitter is not allowed as a reference? Robman94 ( talk) 15:59, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
