Idol Chatter & Voice Views

And Paxton Ingram and Blake Shelton owe one huge thank you to Pharrell Williams.

Last week, Pharrell suggested Paxton might want to try taking the audience to church on a gospel song.

So that’s what he did this week.

The result: The young man from Miami, dead last on iTunes the past two weeks, led The Voice pack this week, with his song — “Break Every Chain” — at number 18 on the overall singles chart.

Meanwhile, Mary Sarah was mired near the bottom of the iTunes rankings the past two weeks in spite of a huge social media following.

This week, she sang “Johnny and June” and soared to second place on iTunes.

And Alisan Porter, the show’s presumed front-runner, was also trailing Laith Al Saadi on the charts when voting ended at noon.

Oh, and forget about bonus points this. Twelve of the top 15 spots on the iTunes singles chart are occupied by Beyonce or the late Prince, meaning no one from The Voice came close to the Top 10.

Here’s where the songs were on the chart at noon. Check back at 8 p.m. for a live blog as the results come in.
