Time after time - Cyndi Lauper and Allison Iraheta

[@veronicamatchett8227]

watching this again (March 15, 2020), the best duet ever on American Idol in my opinion; couldn't believe that 17-year old girl doing a duet with an icon like Cyndi Lauper - it SHOULD have been a battle between Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta for the winner !!!

[@roquemocan]

At her 17 years, Allison shows she is a master beyond her years in the musical sense. Kudos to Cindy and Allison for such a beautiful duet.

[@meredithmoeller185]

Best version of this song EVER--and I love the original. This was just so, so good.

[@FurtherReview]

The kid holds her own with the pro -- nice duet!

[@zephyrr914]

Cyndi is (and always has been) one of the greatest human beings out there and her artistry leaves fans feeling wonderful every time. Allison is gorgeous and absolutely intriguing. Cannot wait for more! Fabulous!!

[@idolfan2671]

Cyndi Lauper is one of my all time favorite diva's and the two of these ladies blew this one out of the box......amazing!

[@amberhairston512]

Back in 2025. Still one of the absolute best duets in Idol history!

at 1:43 when Allison says "I will be waiting.." incredible!

[@shane2chad]

wow!!!!!!!! luv em both!!

[@abador07]

This is girl is amazing. Still cant believe it wasnt an Adam Vs Allison finale,it would have definitely went down as American Idol best finale ever. Just sucks that they chose the wrong single off her first album, still hoping that her second album holds so great songs.

[@molly94mj13]

[@samanthaanderson9887]

[@MacEoin]

@GhostGuitars Silly remark. They have very different voices. Both are terrific. Not better, just different.

[@violetgirl1996]

[@monasandvik380]

Dulcimer

[@JohnnyJovi]

wow i dont remember this

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Pretty sure that this is from the same episode as Adam Lambert lost.

[@beaversfootball57]

it was riged she sould have won hands down

[@eliallen3860]

She should’ve been in the finale with Adam Lambert, with Lambert winning that season.

[@healthhavencom]

Rickey knew.

[@EpicHobos]

should have been allison vs. kris

[@slippyking07]

looks like an Appalachian dulcimer

[@mrziRawk]

She should've won Kris isn't doing as much as he should

[@GhostGuitars]

Allison sounds better than Cyndi
