Cyndi Lauper Sings "Time After Time" on "American Idol

llison Iraheta and Cyndi Lauper sing "Time After Time" together on "American Idol," it's really good. They have good chemistry, are listening to each other and playing off each other. Finish with some pretty tricky free-form runs, going in and out of each others' vocals. This is totally something they've practiced, didn't just come in off the street and pull that off.Man, am so looking forward to seeing what Allison does in her music career; she's such a natural.
