Allison - The Rocker Chick

Those are great pictures of Allison! She looks great. I always love her clothes. Plus the hair too of course!!

My sister used to have a belly button ring. She had a tongue piercing too. Both are gone now though. The only thing that remains are the two tattoos she has on her low backside.

SO sis was a wild woman!

LOL Well I don't know about wild but she was a part of the Hollywood scene for 10+ years so she only did what everyone else did.

Poor Alli :( I feel awful for her. Brian Mansfield was able to find some numbers for her cd and her new single.

What does Alli have to do to get people to take notice. Geez Jive get off your butts and do something for Alli, Kris and Jordin,(Jordin's newest cd is not selling well at all). These three deserve a lot more than they are getting from Jive

Shannon

That's a shame for all of them.

I don't know what to say about Allison. I know she has a good voice - but for me - I don't care for her performance style or personality that I have seen. Clearly people did not and have not connected with her.

You know - there have been a lot of great voices on Idol and very few truly make it. It takes more. That something special. That something that draws you to that artist more than just the voice.

I am sure she is a wonderful person and friend. But I would bet that most all of the kids have been. It is just not enough.

I can see past some of her performances. I think if she calmed down, maybe matured a little bit she would be awesome! I hope a record company has faith in her future, because she's got some pipes!

Is something about her that is not very appealing in the public perception, to me she started with the wrong foot much too brassy.

This picture shows off just how skinny Alli has gotten,(by the way she looks great and doesn't need to lose anymore weight). She makes me sick I wish I could be that skinny.



Shannon

Yeah she's definitely a tiny little thing now too. Her and Adam. Wish they'd tell me their secrets so I can lose the extra weight I have!

Allison gets advice from Adam on the road:

To bad this pic is so blurry of Alli. She looks beautiful

ETA: Link is not working if you want to see the pic check out my post after Teddy's and see where the picture is.

Shannon

Angel, it won't let me see the picture unless I save it to the computer.

Okay that is just weird I can't post the actual pic cause it is HUGE. The picture is in the picture thread in Alli's forum on Idol Forums if you want to see it. The pic is on page 523 of the thread and is post number 10443; it is the second picture in that post!!

Shannon

It's okay I just saved it to the comp. Great pic of Allison!

A lot of talk today about Allison NOT on the list of Jive artists at their site.

I just saw a big ole long ass thread on Idol Forums in the Alli forum. If she got dropped I will be freaking pissed. Jive has done nothing and I mean nothing to promote the girl. Yes she has been on tour with Adam but that is not Jive doing their job. That was Alli's management doing their job and Adam picking an opening act. Jive has been totally incompetent when it comes to Allison, Kris even David Archuleta who is supposed to have a cd coming out soon; many people don't even realize this for him. If she is indeed dropped I pray to God she gets picked up by someone else. This is soooooooooooo wrong.

Shannon

Frankly, she just didn't catch on. Sales went nowhere even with a single with Ori and touring with Adam. Sales for her single actually dropped after her SYTYCD appearance. Not surprised really because she was awful that night. She has been getting more negative reviews than positive ones - not just from the media but Adam fans seeing her on the tour. I've been reading that her voice is completely shot.

I think it is more than just Jive. I think she needs time to mature as an artist and stage performer. Even as an individual. I think she should continue her education first. Go to collage. Maybe front a band and work on her craft.

I would not count on her getting picked up by another label right off. Certainly not a major label. Maybe indie.

I know her voice is shot cause you can hear that on the videos people take.

I would love for Alli to go to College and grow some. John Stevens did this. He went to college and didn't live and breath music for four years. He now has a degree and he is back to do what he loves but has that degree to fall on if things don't pan out. Alli needs to of the big picture in everything. Having a college degree really is a huge thing.

Yes Alli is a little rough around the corners but the girl is mad talented. She does not deserve to get dropped by a company that has done nothing for her. Her cd's have not been in stock at many many stores for like months. How can you go buy a cd if you can't get your hands on it. You can say it is not Jive but they have shown how stupid they are with all the crap with Kris with David A. and with big names like the Backstreet Boys; BSB left the company cause they were angry with the label for not promoting the new cd. The group and their management did everything they could but without label support it gets really really hard.

I am praying this is not true. There has been no announcement from the Label, Allison or her management so right now I am hoping for a miracle.

ETA: I will say that whatever happens Alli has to do two things: Get a vocal coach and also sit down and figure out who she wants to be. Rocker is fine but if it is not connecting totally then she needs to maybe go to plan B. She is too freaking talented to fall off the radar like so many amazingly talented people who have done AI. All could sing circles around most of those gals that are out there now,(Miley, Selina, Miranda, Demi, Kesha and so on).

Shannon

You started by saying you "wouldn't" want Alli to go to college but it sounds like you do. So typo perhaps? I think nowadays it's good for everyone to have a plan B!

With the gals you listed there is a huge difference. First and foremost they have Disney going for them and the constant exposure of their TV shows. Also, way more charisma, charm and likability factor - especially for the tweens/very young teens. Alli comes across rather hard and rough. Not sure she appeals to the same demographic that Selena and Miley do. Even I am charmed by Selena! What a living doll she is!

In the musical climate we are in today it takes more than a good singing voice for mass appeal. Millions of people around the world can sing. They do not all have that "it factor" or whatever it is that gets people invested.

I wish her luck.

The way she comes across is very negative and way to rough for so people.

Her lack of personality and charisma is a big turn off.

Good catch FC; I for sure meant would want her to go to College. Being a teacher education is big with me.

Don't get me wrong when I mentioned some those gals. I like Miley and Selena and Demi a lot. Miranda who is a Nikolodian Kid is not bad and Kesha is not good at all. I do see what you are saying though. Miley has her movies and Hanna Montana, Selena has Wizards of Waverly Place, Demi has her Sunny show, Miranda has I Carly. All of them are hot on the teen scene and do more than one thing.

Yeah Alli can come off rough especially when she is in full rock mode. This is one reason I said she needs to really sit down and figure out who she is going to be in her career. She needs to connect with people and some are not connecting with Rocker girl Alli.

As I said before I am praying for her. I hope if this is true then there will be an official announcement cause a lot of the sites are putting she was dropped out there and it if isn't true it needs to squashed soon.

Exactly. I have tried to like her. I liked her duet with Adam so much on Idol. I just cannot seem to like the girl. My mom was the same way. She loved Slow Ride on Idol and hoped that would lead to the final two being Adam and Alli. But as my mom ever so eloquently put it "The thing is she looks like she would beat the crap out of you!" And that is something that I think causes the disconnect with a young audience.

Well I don't see her as someone that would beat the crap out of you. Most of the time when I see her on interviews and stuff she is being a dork and being totally silly. ON stage she is just in rock mode and trying to be the next Janice Joplin. Whatever the case is she does need to do something that is going to draw people in. Kris and Adam got to know Alli really well so they see a lot of what we don't see. Alli needs to show all sides of her to get people to feel comfortable and to not have that disconnect with them.

Shannon

My mom didn't say she THINKS she would - she said she LOOKS like she would because she looks so tough.
