Here's a sampling of today's new album releases:

Il Divo- An Evening with Il Divo- Live in Barcelona
Juvenile- Cocky and Confident
Primal Fear- Eye of an Eagle
Allison Iraheta- Just Like You
R. Kelly- Untitled
Martha Wainwright- Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, A Paris

Now it's time to see whether Allison Iraheta can hold her own against fellow American Idol-ers Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. The verdict? Probably not, but the kid's got spunk, can play guitar and sounds way mature for her age.

Hey, at least Danny Gokey isn't releasing an album yet (but he will in 2010...singing country.)
