Si alguien me aclara porque dice que tiene 16. En el 2006 gano el concurso de quinceanera y dijo que tenia 15 entonces como es posible que en el 2009 tenga 16? ya debe tener como 18.

This is in response to the last posting.
You're right! Her roots are from El Salvador but she's not from there; she's from L.A. That's her hometown, not El Salvador. Quit criticizing!!

Yo pienso que no importa donde hayas nacido si tu padres son de un pais y tu has crecido en esa cultura, una persona deberia de sentirse orgullosa de llamarse salvadorena-en este caso- mi hermano es nacido en usa tambien pero el siempre se llama salvadoreno asi mismo. Que tal si hubiera nacido en china??? su sangre todavia es salvadorena. Por eso siempre dice, "salvadoreno nacido en usa".

Daysi Says: Allison was born in Los Angeles California. She is American. She is not Salvadorian. Her parents are originally from Spain and Salvadorian. Vote for Allison

Ah bueno si es asi es diferente, entonces es mix, lol, no importa si la mujer tiene talento va a ganar no??? yo solo opinaba a cerca del origen por que mucha gente me ha dicho que hay una salvadorena en american idol, y tenia curiosidad... lei un comentario arriba que dice que ella nunca se llama asi misma salvadorena, pero si sus padres no son salvadorenos la pobre no sabe si decir espanola o salvadorena. Anyway, Go Allison!
