Allison Iraheta version
American Idol Season 8 contestant Allison Iraheta covers " Holiday ", a song co-written and performed by Rock Star: Supernova runner-up Dilana, on her debut album, Just Like You , slated for a December 1, 2009 release.
In an interview with Lyndsey Parker of Yahoo! Music, who tells Iraheta that her cover of "Holiday" is the song on Just Like You she's most excited about, Iraheta said,
Later in the same interview, Allison said, "it is a little intimidating (to cover a song by someone you respect) at first cause I was like 'wow, this is so good,' but we're different." Rock Star: Supernova runner-up Dilana has also praised Iraheta, saying that she is "the only chic I would ever want to cover my song," calling her "so smart ... so talented" and saying that she had a "beautiful future ahead."
Reception
Iraheta's cover of the song has been received positively. Jim Cantiello, from MTV writes "Iraheta's rock and roll swagger is in full swing on this rock and roll shuffle, co-written by fellow reality star Dilana," adding that 'Holiday' should be released as a single." Lyndsey Parker, from Yahoo! music called it a "glam-rock stomper." Michael Slezak, of Entertainment Weekly, writes, "The second I heard 'Holiday,' I thought to myself: 'This ditty should go directly to The Rocker (referring to Iraheta) — without passing go, and without collecting $200.'"
