Allison Iraheta sang Patty Loveless', "Blame It On Your Heart" with her usual fine vocal chops.  The judges take was that she did a fine job, with Simon not as...

"The main thing we were being told was music doesn't work on TV in prime-time. We tried to explain that there's lot more than music on the show." So...
