I really don't understand why people always try to pick apart her personality around here. She seemed fine to me. She's just quirky and is all about having a good time. She's only what 17, so that's how she should act anyways. The performance was flawless. The contestants this year can only dream of singing like that. I don't know that it was flawless, but it was absolutely fantastic. I heard a few things, but I think it enhanced the performance more than anything because of the song's subject. That said, at the end when she punched (?) the camera and then when she was obnoxious as fuck... no thanks. If I wanted to watch a precocious little bitch on stage I could have waited until Ashley was sent home.

If I wanted to watch a precocious little b***h on stage I could have waited until Ashley was sent home. I understand how Allison may come off obnoxious to some, but I certainly don't see how she comes off as a bitch. ??? Just curious is all as to how you get that impression.

I wasn't trying to "pick her apart" and I definitely didn't think she was a bitch like Stephen-I just thought she seemed off and I have even seen her speak before and not act like that. Eh, perhaps I am just not familiar with her.

Eh, perhaps I am just not familiar with her. I wasn't addressing anyone in particular with that comment, I just have seen a lot of people around here who seem to hate her personality. It just confuses me is all, because I really don't know what else people expect from a 17 year old. I personally prefer the way she acts to some of the shy "look at me, I'm cute as a button" teenagers they have on the show.

I didn't get a b***h vibe. It just appeared that she was under the influence of something. lol

I didn't watch much of last season but what I did see and what I have seen here and there after Idol, I would say the girl doesn't deserve to be labeled a b***h. That goes too far.
I'll leave debates as to whether she's obnoxious to others.
I agree with some others though that have expressed sentiments of of confusion over the extreme attitudes she brings out. She's a fairly normal teenager as far as I've observed. If she were an adult acting this way that would be different.

I view a bitch as someone who is purposely obnoxious just for the hell of it. Tonight, that was Allison. I think she was tolerable enough on the show (though even then I wasn't fond of her), but she has gotten worse. I guess I like stars who I could imagine myself kicking it with, you know? I can't imagine that with her.

I see her as an awkward 17 year old. Nothing more nothing less. I have heard more than a few people saying they will buy the single and check out the album after that performance so I am happy!

Last I checked this was #195 on iTunes. Someone posted it was 258 only a little earlier so moving fast.

Nice performance! I love Alison, love her fun, quirky personality, and I wish her the best. Not a huge fan of the song, and not sure it will be a hit, but I really hope she can get one :)

I don't see this going far, and her AI performance won't help it on radio much.

Darn, I was hoping this would go up faster. Maybe it'll still get a decent peak on iTunes in the next few days.

At the minimum i thought it would break top 50! Even if it was just for a day!! Sadly, if AI cant help her boost her sales, then nothing will at this point. Radios dont seem to want to play this, and her sales are bad. As much as i like her, and this song, it seems she might need to find another career for a while.

I loved that performance. Great passion and I love the tone of her voice and the depth of it. I also though she looked really pretty. She has such a warm smile.

I'm suprised she isn't doing better. She sounds a lot like Pink, and I think has a great voice.

I think part of the problem this is going to have is that this episode went up against the Olympics AND on the night that the Olympics is having their biggest event, the ladies skating final. I'm sure plenty of people chose to watch the Olympics, I really wish they had her on next week when there is no competition.
The album is selling well, though, nothing wrong with that.

Wow. Really great performance. Probably the best I've seen from an Idol coming from the previous season since, like, Season 6.
It is really a SHAME this song won't go nowhere. When I think it's not possible to hate Jive more, they just go and prove me wrong.

^^ Brooke White was really good last year singing during the semis.
IMO, the semi's stage is less nerve-wracking than the big one.

If this song had some airplay I'm sure it's Itunes boost would have been bigger post Idol.

now im in panic mode for her career, i think shes done I usually dont like to be all gloom and doom, but Im feeling the same way right now. If Scars cannot break the top 100 on iTunes after an Idol performance... its in serious trouble. The song sacrifices radio potential to be perfect for a big live performance. If it failed after an Idol appearance, I couldnt imagine this doing much more :(

I loved this song from the first time I heard it. The rest of the songs are catchy and nice, but I think her voice is especially gorgeous here and it's highlighted from the very beginning. If given the chance, I think this might do pretty well. I saw this on my local radio station's Mediabase request form last week (although it's not there anymore). Maybe they're going to add it soon. I know a DJ from Z-100 also declared their support for this song.
That said, I just watched the AI performance from that Youtube link up there, and like many of you, I'm confused on what she was doing at the end. She looked faux-angry at the end when she gestured toward the camera. Huh? What the heck was that? It's a vulnerable-type of song, and I wasn't expecting that. On a shallow note, that dress was really weird.

If this couldn't even crack top 100 on iTunes with an AI performance, that should be all the proof Jive needs that this won't do a damn thing as a single. I hope they're at least smart enough to change this now that it's pretty much set in stone this won't go anywhere.
