Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Because if he’s voted into the finals — and not Shawn Sounds — the Team Blake Shelton avalanche that’s swept over The Voice in Season 16 could continue tonight.

Gyth Rigdon, who also sings on Team Blake, is a pretty sure bet to make the finals.

And it’s almost guaranteed that Blake will have at least one singer competing for the instant save.

That means if both Dexter and Gyth are voted through by fans, we could have three members of Team Blake in next week’s four-singer finale.

A clean sweep is highly unlikely. Not only did Maelyn Jarmon lead the show on iTunes again today, her previous two performances from the show also re-entered the iTunes Top 200.

Remember how tonight works. The top three vote-getters from last night automatically advance. The bottom two automatically go home.

And the three in between will compete for a Twitter save at the end of tonight’s episode.

Okay, it’s time for results …

And Carson Daly delivers the news that Maelyn Jarmon was again the most-streamed artist on iTunes. Folks, Maelyn is a heavy favorite heading into next week’s finals.

And advancing to the finals is …

* Maelyn Jarmon of Team Legend. Expected. But it does mean there won’t be a Team Blake sweep tonight.

* Dexter Roberts of Team Blake. Okay, there you go. Gyth is almost certain to make it, which means Blake could get three artists into the finals.

* Gyth Rigdon of Team Blake. Expected. He made the Top 10 on iTunes along with Maelyn Jarmon.
