Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The Voice cuts its Season 17 field from 11 singers to 10 tonight.

And while Katie Kadan, Jake Hoot and Kat Hammock can enter the results show feeling confident, everyone else must ha at least a little nervous after what happened last week.

That’s when Team Blake’s Cali Wilson looked to be safe based on Apple Music rankings — she was sixth out of 13 artists — but wound up being eliminated.

This week, those most at jeopardy would seem to include Shane Q of Team Kelly and Joana Martinez of Team Gwen.

Both failed to crack the Top 200 on iTunes for the second straight week. And it was Joana who needed the instant save last week.

By the way, rating wise, The Voice has its weakest night yet for Season 17, with a 1.1 rating among 1-49 year olds and 7.3 million viewers. The show finished third on the night, behind both 911 (FOX) and the finale of Dancing With the Stars (ABC).

For the second straight week, Jake Hoot is the most streamed artist on Apple Music. Those are huge bonus points that carry over the finale, folks.

Advancing to the Top 10 are …
* Ricky Duran (Team Blake): He closed the show in fine fashion last night.
* Katie Kadan (Team Legend): She topped the iTunes chart for The Voice for the 2nd straight week
* Rose Short (Team Gwen): She delivered, in my mind, last night’s best vocal.
* Jake Hoot (Team Kelly): That Apple Music bonus almost guarantees another week to compete.
* Joana Martinez: She was in danger of elimination last week, but not this week.
* Will Breman: I have a feeling Will and his unique covers are gaining in popularity.
* Marybeth Byrd (Team Legend): Last night wasn’t her best, but I still think she’s a potential finalist
* Kat Hammock (Team Blake): Kat’s getting high marks, and deservingly so, for her unique vocals
* Hello Sunday (Team Kelly): Last night’s performance was a mess, and they should be singing for a save

That leaves a bottom two of Myracle Holloway and Shane Q.

Shane Q performed “Jealous” for his save performance. Myracle responded with “You Are So Beautiful to Me.”

Wow, when they took the graphic down, Shane was leading in the voting, 53 percent to 47.

And the instant save goes to Shane Q. Hmm.
