The two biggest tragedies of the season were 1) Adam losing to Chris and 2) Danny Gokey making it further than Allison

[@MorrisLess]

I feel you. I'm a big Haley fan, but I don't think anyone, even Haley, poured out as much feeling as this little girl did. With a tear in her eye, and I'm sure a little choked up, she may not have been technically perfect (her prior performance was smoother), but she was emotionally perfect. She she showed us her heart on that stage. And that's what music is about.

[@frenchfanz]

I cried when she was eliminated. She should have been number two or one.

[@bftime1]

She outshines all the 2014 idol contestants. No one sounds as good as her this year! They sing and she belts out a song.What a voice!

[@RicgardArchiesJames]

agree! She probably win in season 8 and should win this season!

[@yes2day100]

No. Adam was by far the best. But she sure was better than the other two men. It should have been 1 - Adam, 2-Alison

[@paigebartsch3163]

Still the Queen of Idol. It should've been her and Adam in the finale. And quite frankly she should be far more famous than she is. Her and Adam kicked ass that season and god her voice is incredible. Another note: did anyone else notice the similarities between this season (2014) and 2009? Think about it, amazingly talented rocker dude whose best friend his a seventeen year old standout (also a rocker) with an original voice. And his roommate is the underdog (Kris (2009) and Alex (2014))

[@rickd650]

Instant goosies. I forgot just how absolutely BITCHIN' that little girl was on Idol. God I adored her.

[@TheDeviltrace]

i usually think rock singers won't sing so tenderly, but honestly, allison's performance was BEYOND heartwrenching.

[@SarahGlambert]

This is by far the best elimination performance on Idol....EVER. Way to go, Allison! :) Love you

[@breannasvu2009]

She has an awesome soulful voice.... I LOVE IT

[@veronicamatchett8227]

Adam should have won and Allison should have come second - the only 2 on the idol worth listening to.

[@Bishopinparis]

Never get tired of this performance!💜

[@TheDeviltrace]

btw, best exit performance ever. she sang it even better than her original performance, and she's even crying while singing so amazingly!

[@IFoughtTheWar11]

This performance has always stuck with me, it's probably one of the best performances that AI has ever had.

[@evamariemasini480]

The way that guy with the glasses looked at her "was everything!" Wow!

[@yellowsunshine89]

Beautiful voice

[@AlanTov]

What a stunning performance!!!!!!!!! Allison has mad talent....!

[@WriterPoetHumanBeing]

This was great; Allison's voice reminds me of Janis Joplin's voice a little bit. She did Janis justice with this performance.

[@NJOMAR1]

2013 and still amazing

[@MegaGood5]

Adam Rock God Lambert should have won and Allison Rock Goddess should have been runner up.

[@blacklavoux]

it's faith that she sang this song after gets eliminate. just awesome

[@extranosito]

I honestly hate that day.. Allison you are my Idol. I love you, you are great and I am your biggest fan

[@eddyy209]

Chills!

[@alex26rios]

this is the best ever!

[@ThePcdify]

It doesn't matter that Allison got eliminated... The important part is that she goes on with her career and she's doing great!! Keep going Allison!!

[@lucylawlessrules]

man, perfect trio. her, kris and adam. nothing was better than this after this season

[@sammy11232003]

this girl is an amazing she is a one of a kind singer she should have won this hands down . just goes to show you how a lot of people don;t have an ear for what is talent and what is not . adam lambert wasn't even close to what allison could do

[@Flamen04]

This performance was electric...

[@stellas6474]

It was a big mistake to eliminate her fourth.

[@jordansthoughts54]

She went out like a boss. Queen.

[@edwardvsjake]

i literally cry every time i see this. breaks my

[@ArayaxxPyper]

Kris and adam looked pissed off. And then theres dannys expression when shes singing. I bet he was thinking why me. But they all lioked so ptoud of her:)

[@thegreen503]

I love elise

[@rasaleebarrios4568]

Sorry, Allison Something went wrong, because I was thinking you were going to be the winner.

[@usmansharifmicky]

This was the best Idol performance EVER.

[@capkronos00]

She should have won the whole damn thing! I miss this girl. She is the ONLY teen singer I've seen on this show who has the inate ability to connect with everything she sang.

[@otherdude15]

my god the raw emotion...gives me chills

[@4frederik2]

Allison, you did one of the best Janis Joplin performances I have seen sinds Janis self. As a great Janis fan I hope you wil do a lot more Janis. If somebody can do it it will be you. Maybe one day in the future you wil write new Janis like songs. Keep the good work up girly you ROCK !!

[@KawaiiiAnime]

BEST exit performance indeed!!! Damn.. she's so good.. brilliant!

[@r0ck99videos]

I love her so much. So much!

[@ArayaxxPyper]

AndAlso I Love How Simons Smiling:)

[@healthhavencom]

That's how you exit stage left.

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

I think Idol was super rigged this year. Adam should have won and Allison should have been runner up. The guy they let win can't sing worth beans. I stopped watching Idol that year.

[@jesisaloser]

Actually, so did I. I couldn't handle watching it anymore after such a rare talent was dismissed.

[@ja8ames]

I think that Kris Allen is fine, but Adam and Allison absolutely should've been 1-2.

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

@@ja8ames I agree. Kris Allen should have been 3rd. What is he doing now? I concluded that the winners on the show are rigged. That was the last time I watched American Idol. Allison was/is really excellent, too. Adam is in a class by himself. Full of talent.

[@ja8ames]

@@davidcopperfield-notthemag397 Oddly enough, I just checked in on David Cook, and saw that he's got a joint tour planned with Kris Allen; other than that I don't know. It seems like AI was skewed towards 'safe midwestern guys' (see also Phillip Phillips over Jessica Sanchez), and I legitimately think that Adam freaked people out, so it didn't have to be rigged in that case, per se. Even at that, Allison 4th is crazy.

[@jesisaloser]

It's so interesting to watch this again, years later. The only two on the stage that are still relevant are Allison and Adam, with Allison's band Halo Circus. If you haven't heard their music and you are a fan of Allison's voice, you should really check them out. But I cried when she was eliminated, and watching this performance is incredible because she was so young, and she was able to show such grace after getting what must've felt like the worst news of her life.

[@refriedrocks]

This is my favourite american idol performance of all time

[@datafinders469]

What ever happened to her? I remember the WHOLE season I was sayin I can't wait till she puts out an album - I seriously expected her to be HUGE by now - and she should be...that was 100x better than the live videoI just watched of Janis Joplin (LOVE her, don't get me wrong) herself performing it! :( America got it wrong - chris shoulda gone home lol

[@store4books]

Gokey should have gone home, and I hated the gloating smile he had when she was announced as eliminated. Adam & Allison couldn't win, Idol doesn't let rockers win. Maybe this 2014 season, who knows. Allison was the oldest most seasoned 16 yr old IDOL has ever had, and she'll have a great career.

[@RonnieStewartJr]

She was actually singing backup for Ariana Grande for a couple years recently!

[@drhodad]

she was really good

[@phoebetillis1394]

I GET THE CHILLS >.

[@loveyunakim]

goosebumps!

[@ZivXan]

I was so sad/mad/upset when she got voted off :( She was my favorite idol of all time!

[@sezen1h]

Mannnn that's awesome !

[@kebin65]

...So why exactly did Gokey stay over her exactly? idgi. This is, like, one of S8's most epic performances ever. Kradison 4ever!

[@MOFH]

I miss Janis... :(

[@SMoldie]

LOL simons' face, seeing the creditability of the show sliding, sliding as 'the rocker' kills her final performance, and the grand scheme for the final two was in tatters. I love it when the production teams carefully laid plans came to nought... Danny who LOL

[@AlanTov]

Goosebumps- fantastically good!! and of course Seacrest never choose to play her on his station... shameful.

[@MusicProductionLover]

I will block out the judges and Danny. They ruined the chance of a perfect Top 3.

[@zurlinitarivero5029]

She became so Arrogant and that is the reason why American Idol decided to vote her off. She should have done it the same as she did it in la Quinseanera. When she won in la Quinceanera, she did it much better

[@mellocello94]

Should've been Adam-Allison finale

[@usmansharifmicky]

The only good thing about her getting eliminated that day was that we got this performance full of such emotion.

[@delilahalcozer]

She still gives me goosies. After her I stoped with that show. Dale mami

[@bieberboy316]

i think the best idol elimination performance was latoya london- don't rain on my parade. not taking anything away from allison or haley, love em both.

[@salviangelino]

ELIMINATING ALLISON WAS THE WORST ERROR IN IDOL HISTORY. SHE DESERVED BETTER. SHE WILL BE W ORLD SUPER STAR BETTER THAN ANY OTHER IDOL CONTESTANT!!!! just wait and see

[@k.n.590]

LOL may be. Thought that he was displeased by the fact she's leaving because since the beginning, at the auditions, he said he really liked her....

[@blacklavoux]

She should made a music video singing this.

[@carmenolivieri8949]

That's just pure talent!

[@slick196868]

Elise was great,my favorite this season.When she got voted off I quit watching.But the best female ever on idol is ALLISON IRAHETA....................

[@robertantonvlogs]

She was a rock star. Saw her when she opened for Adam Lambert on his first tour.

[@prMLA01]

I can't get over this. She was totally robbed and she sure showed everyone with this performance. What a way to go!

[@VeeRazzles]

@irockvery Lol Mike Slezak just said this exact same thing in his interview with Haley! In the fifth part he literally said that hers and Allisons were the best exits!

[@mhagwcluv12]

why was she eliminated shes got the best voice everyone who didn't vote her be ashemed BE VERY ASHEMED

[@leydafernandez7164]

La mejor

[@healthhavencom]

She left Randy handing at :59

[@hardyzpgb]

she tried doing adam lambert's signature scream lol

[@dman747707]

Probably displeased with how okay she was. lol

[@jamescoppolino9144]

this was the first and last time i was sad when someone got eliminated

[@sjjam63]

I'll buy every album Allison ever makes. (And none that gokey makes.)

[@TheDeviltrace]

it totally shoulda been an adam/allison finale!

[@bftime1]

How did she ever get eliminated! Great singer!

[@ebaychatter0]

i could dig that husky voice.

[@Alan1029Smith]

It makes me sick seeing the judges cheering during her elimination performance when she gave virtually the same performance the night before and they pretended it was bad. If Allison had given that performance in season 10 or 11, she would have gotten a standing ovation. The judges clearly wanted her to go, and were going to throw her under the bus no matter how good her performance was. Luckily, after Season 10, the viewers know that the judges' comments are more tactical than critical.

[@calvininsf]

To paraphrase the words of the film Mommie Dearest, Allison Iraheta never got the respect she was entitled to.

[@Kaotic4NickC]

poor Adam was pretty upset he cried more than she did

[@lateramae]

From season 8, Allison and Adam had unbelievable rock voices and that would've made an epic finals round for the competition! Such a missed opportunity!

[@phoebetillis1394]

So cute! :)

[@adamzaporowski7328]

watch Natalia Sikora (polish vershion-she's the best)

[@ThePati12341]

I don't know how the fu*ck she could get eliminated !! :( She's AMAZING !!

[@rosasaro2895]

I was voting for Allison and Adam. She won on la Quinceanera, because she was very humble. That is why the judges loved her. However, on Am Idol since she sang Alone, she thought she already did it. But she was answering the question to the judger very immature and stupid. So Specially Simon did not like it….. Otherwise, she was going to win first place…

[@PejaRapiLudzie]

Best girl on this season

[@arango1692]

Todos sabemos que la final era de Allison y Adam.

[@Animebrity.]

she looks older than 16

[@k.n.590]

Simon's face 02:43

[@JustWandering]

It was the wrong Top 3. ;_; Whatever happened afterward, Top 3 SHOULD have been Allison and Adam and Kris. The three best, and also the three best friends.

[@sweetwaterfilm]

HOLY!!!

[@perryhodgins]

@alwysbritt You sure got that right !!

[@Prettymuffins]

2:44 no emotion on Simon as per usual. CRY DAMMIT

[@healthhavencom]

hanging rather

[@irockvery]

This one and Haley Reinhart's Bennie and The Jets is the BEST EXIT PERFORMANCE EVER in Idol's history

[@ZivXan]

@xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx Fact? Wow, I don't know what fact book you're looking at, but in all honesty, Gokey wishes he can sing as good as Allison. Allison can sing any genre (as seen on the show) and Danny cannot.

[@readergirl14]

@xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx Im not sure about that, I have seen many posers in my life and allison is not one of them. If you love rock you feel it in your bones and allison does have that passionate mannerism to her.

[@healthhavencom]

killed it

[@alex370]

best performance in idol history?
