Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Before last week’s Top 20 round began on American Idol, I posted a blog on how many Facebook fans and Twitter followers each contestant had.

With the finals just hours away, I checked those numbers again this morning.

Wow! If those numbers mean much, Angie Miller heads into tonight’s competition with a big advantage.

She was already the Facebook and Twitter leader a week ago, with 6,349 fans and 8,831 followers, respectively.

Since then, her Facebook fans have increased five-fold, her Twitter followers more than four-fold, widening her gap over the rest of the Top 10.

Lazaro Arbos remains the second-most-popular contestant on both Facebook and Twitter.

Anyway, here are the numbers as of 10 a.m. this morning.
