In 2006, the Californian won the Telemundo reality show, 'Quinceañera: Mama Quiero Ser Artista' ('Sweet 15: Mom, I Want to Be an Artist'). The prize was $50,000 and a recording contract, which make us wonder if Allison has an unfair advantage.
Of course, contestants who formerly appeared on reality shows or had recording contracts are nothing new. Season 7's Carly Smithson had once released a record for a major label, while fellow finalist Syesha Mercado competed on ABC's failed 'The One: Making a Music Star.' Even runner-up David Archuleta came to the show with a 'Star Search 2' win on his resume.
Should singers with previous record contracts be allowed on 'American Idol'?
yeah a lot of these people have been on shows or competitions before and some have even had record deals. I think that those who have had record deals should not be allowed to be on American Idol because come on they have already had their chance and apparently America voted and they got the boot a long time ago!
ReplyDeleteThey shouldn't get a second chance if they messed up on their first!
