David says Allison Iraheta has Spunk!

From Jim Cantiello’s blog on MTV:

The David Archuleta outtake chronicles continue!

One of the fun things I learned about the “American Idol” star during our Christmas carol extravaganza is that he is ceaselessly curious. When he wasn’t stopping to look at every single bulletin board or framed poster hanging on MTV’s walls, he would turn the tables and casually interview me. “Know any good New York City restaurants? What music are you listening to these days? What kind of bird do you have?” (Long story.)

But this line of questioning was my favorite from the day, if only because it sparked us having a brief chat about recent “Idol” rocker, Allison Iraheta.

MTV Shows If you remember, Simon Cowell went out of his way to knock Allison’s personality during her “Idol” journey. Despite the fiery-haired rocker delivering some of the best vocals of the season — and displaying more authenticity than any other teenage “Idol” contestant — the cranky Brit would go on and on about how he didn’t think she was appearing particularly likable. This insane, illogical and frustratingly recurring talking point led to several angry fist pumps from my living room couch.

Clearly, David Archuleta is on Team Allison with me. His face lit up when he talked about how much “personality and spunk” she has. And when I brought up how adorable it was when she jumped out of her “bottom three” chair to give him a hug when he showed up during an episode, Archuleta smiled and — dare I say it? — blushed.

Cue the “Awwwwwws!”
