Idol Chatter & Voice Views

They finished more than 40 spots below anyone else on the iTunes singles chart when voting ended at noon today.

That said, voting results haven’t always followed the iTunes rankings this week on The Voice.

If you missed those iTunes results, Adam Wakefield and Laith Al-Saadi both earned bonus points for cracking the Top 10.

And three other artists — Mary Sarah, Hannah Huston and Bryan Bautista — finished in front of presumed front-runner Alisan Porter.

And it’s time for some results.

Advancing on The Voice:
* Hannah Huston (Team Pharrell): Team Pharrell lives to sing another day.
* Bryan Bautista (Team Christina): He’s had two solid weeks in a row. Next week, he gets to try for a spot in the finals.
* Adam Wakefield (Team Blake): He’s now cracked the Top 10 on iTunes twice, matching Alisan in that regard.
* Laith Al-Saadi (Team Adam): And he just enjoyed his best showing yet on iTunes, earning bonus points for the first time.
* Mary Sarah (Team Blake): After a bit of a slow start, she’s been doing much better the last three weeks.
* Alisan Porter (Team Christina): I’m surprised “Cryin'” didn’t do better on iTunes today, but it builds suspense for the Season 10 finale, right?
* Shalyah Fearing (Team Adam): She had a bit of a comeback last night. But she faces a real challenge next week when four singers are eliminated.

That leaves a bottom two of Nick and Paxton. They sing for the save in a moment. Nick earned it last week.

Paxton: He’s sing “How Will I Know.” This guy has a really sweet voice when he picks the right song. And we’re hearing that right now. In a pressure situation, he’s delivering a solid vocal. That was very good. He gets high praise not only from Blake, but from Pharrell and Adam as well. Grade: B

Nick: He’ll perform “Change the World.” He’s the last comeback artist standing in Season 10, so it’s impressive that he’s made it this far. He hit a bum note right off the bat, and I wasn’t as impressed with that vocal as Paxton’s. Pharrell praises his ability to connect with an audience. Grade: C+

And judging by the graphic on NBC’s The Voice, this is one of the closest Twitter save votes ever.

The instant save goes to: Paxton Ingram. Carson says he won by less than 100 tweets.

Nick Hagelin is eliminated.
