Allison may strongly resemble her idols here, but chalk that up to youth and it doesn’t prevent her from conveying considerable charisma.
-
That spitfire spirit carries over into the most electrifying moments of Just Like You, a batch of tuff-girl tunes for the torn-fishnets set, but too much of it sounds impermanent, like so much Manic Panic rinsing down the drain.
-
'Friday I'll Be Over U' is Scandinavian-designed punk-pop perfection, and 'Robot Love' turns Gary Glitter's 'Rock and Roll Part 2' riff into something fresh. But on ballads like 'Scars,' Iraheta sounds so much like Pink that it's distracting.
-
Just Like You is a workmanlike pop album with shrewdly punky touches, like a ready-made outfit from the mall chain Hot Topic. It flatters Ms. Iraheta as a singer but too often suggests other empowered female stars, like Pink or Brandi Carlile or Kelly Clarkson.
