Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Pharrell appeared to agonize over his pick of a knockout round winner Monday night after Jean Kelly and Menlik Zergabachew performed on The Voice.

It shouldn’t have been a difficult decision. Not because Menlik did anything wrong; he turned in a perfectly fine performance.

But because Jean Kelly set the stage on fire.

And fans responded, making her cover of “Chandelier” the most successful among the songs performed on The Voice as the knockout round ended.

In addition to snagging a spot in the live playoffs, Jean was sitting at number 89 on the iTunes Top 200 as of 8:30 a.m. this morning.

One other song cracked the Top 200: Reagan James’ cover of “Hit ‘Em Up Style.” Watch out for the 15-year-old once the live playoffs begin next week. She has stage presence well beyond her 15 years.

Also of note, Anita Antoinette is sitting at number one on the reggae chart this morning.

And Matt McAndrew — another singer to watch — is at number 90 on the far more competitive pop chart, even though his full performance didn’t air.

Here’s where all the songs from last night landed on the genre charts. Again, the rankings are as of 8:30 a.m.

* Anita Antoinette, “Rude:” #1 on reggae chart

* Chris Jamison, “The Dock of the Bay:” #150 on pop chart

* Craig Wayne Boyd, “Can’t You See:” #48 on country chart

* Jean Kelley, “Chandelier:” #34 on pop chart

* Matt McAndrew, “Drops of Jupiter:” #90 on pop chart

* Reagan James, “Hit Em Up Style (Oops!): #58 on pop chart

* Ryan Sill, “Miss Independent:” did not chart on pop chart

* Taylor Brashears, “Landslide:” #76 on country chart
