So far in Season 8, iTunes results have been a wonderful predictor of who will land where on elimination night on The Voice. Last week, Joshua Davis, Rob Taylor and DeAnna Johnson had the weakest performing songs on iTunes. Guess who landed in the bottom three? But today, the songs were grouped so tightly on…
The remaining five on American Idol will take on a pair of themes Wednesday night — “I Am What I Am” and “Judges’ Hometowns.” The Idol website explains the song selections this way: one should be a tune that defines the singer; one should be a tune that defines the judges’ hometowns.

Top 10 night on The Voice didn’t yield quite as much iTunes success as Top 12 night. This time, only two songs cracked the Top 10 on the singles chart. And only two songs topped genre charts. But when every member of your Top 10 — including the singers who would eventually be eliminated —…
Want more proof that young Sawyer Fredericks is the contestant to beat on The Voice?
