The Second Coming

I shouldn't be posting during the work day, but I couldn't resist, this is a big deal -- Allison Iraheta, my favorite American Idol from last season leaked her first single today, and it's a good one. Iraheta, despite Simon Cowell's criticisms, is the most talented teenage belter (sorry Jordin Sparks and David Archuleta) to come out of American Idol and "Friday I'll Be Over U" is her first step to becoming the next P!nk. The song, penned by ultimate hit maker Max Martin, the man behind Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," P!nk's "So What," and Katy Perry's "Hot 'N Cold," is simple, catchy, and showcases Allison's raw, husky tone. If anything, the song is a promising hint at what her album, coming out this December, will sound like.
