Iraheta is a Salvadoran born in Glendale, California. According to her parents, she has been singing since she was a toddler. Before rising to prominence, she usually sang in local Latin supermarkets.
In 2006, Iraheta won the Telemundo reality show Quinceañera, where she sang in both English and Spanish. The prize was a reward of USD $50,000 and a recording contract, but only the reward money was ever granted.
In 2009, Allison Iraheta competed on American Idol. She achieved acclaim for her rock sound and unique style, making it into the finals. Allison remained on the show until being eliminated at the final four, finishing in 4th place. The mentor of that week, Slash, praised Iraheta, saying, "Allison didn't deserve to be voted off so soon. She has amazing potential." American Idol music director Rickey Minor was "absolutely shocked" at her departure.
After her elimination on Idol, Iraheta made guest appearances on Live with Regis and Kelly, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Larry King Live, local FOX television affiliates, and numerous radio stations nation-wide. She performed on the season eight finale of American Idol, including a group medley of Pink's "So What" with her fellow contestants and a duet of "Time After Time" with original artist Cyndi Lauper.

I need her to make more music! I WANT A SECOND CD. Also, this was one of the best performances (if not thee best) of that night!
@Kelarys
I thought I remembered how good this was, but now that I myself am a much better musician, damn she was fucking fire, I can't believe this was live. She's an absolutely star and it's sad she's not a household name now
@iqramohamud2177
I remember seeing her on American Idol when I was 7 years old performing that song! I loved her red hair and I kind of wanted red hair like her. I also loved her performance of Hot Stuff! đŸ˜€ A few years later, in 2012, when I was 10, I listened to the original version of Hot Stuff, by Donna Summer!
@NJOMAR1
PERFECT VOCALS
@paigebartsch3163
Not my favourite interpretation of this song at all, but she really can sing
@prMLA01
@bjbler2396 This performance is SOOO underated. She didn't even get any props for rearreanging the song and making it a rock anthem as opposed to another disco song 30 years past it's time.
@austinmccormick4738
My thoughts exactly. I thought it was a brilliant arrangement.
@prMLA01
Stupid producers script that wouldn't allow fair judging, this performance was incredible and that arrangement was sick. She didn't get any credit for being original and my goodness, those vocals! Scorchingly hot performance!
@TimfromChicago
incredibly talented is not even the words,wow
@dman747707
I love how Paula was almost lucid during season 8.
