American Idol may have deemed Allison Iraheta 4th place when she competed against Kris Allen and Adam Lambert for the hearts and votes of the USA. But, to judge by these new, exclusive MTV photos, it certainly isn't getting her down.

Iraheta, who released her debut album Just Like You earlier this month, is looking pretty in pink in these shots. The pics give off the kind of light and dark (emotional) balance that characterizes Iraheta's less-aggro-Pink/less-intense-Pat-Benatar sound. The pink and purple flashes say, "Oh! Hai!" While the leather jacket says, "Don't mess with this girl."
