    I always thought the reason they made that announcement was to denigrate David A’s father by way of belittling his son. That was a low blow.

    I’m curious to know how that 12 million votes seems to you Americans – is it considered a big margin? If I remember correctly, they got about 96 million votes in all that year in the finale. To me, it seems like a huge margin.  I don’t remember that Ryan would have announced the number of votes separating the winner and the runner up in any other finales after that. Sometimes I’ve tried to look for those figures on the Internet, but I haven’t found them.

    But both versions will count as one when it comes to sales.  Just like a deluxe and standard album have their numbers combined.  I don’t think too many people “buying” on I-Tunes are swayed into buying something because of a songs position (outside of the top 10).

  • Practical

    Both Philip and Jessica have EXACTLY the same number of versions.  Look it up in itunes yourself.

    Jessica’s numbers are low because most of her fans are in the Philippines and those who are in the US do not buy itunes, cd, etc.

     I don’t think that’s made too huge a difference.  Even on the non-finale songs of hers that are doing best on the main itunes charts (I Will Always Love You, And I Am Telling You), the “journey” versions aren’t even in the top 300 on the non-explicit Pop Songs list [The list I could find that extends furthest downwards].

    So it looks like almost all people who are looking to buy a single are heading to the non-journey versions, and the journey versions aren’t taking much in the way of sales away from the singles. 

    Sometimes singers just inspire people to buy their albums more than their singles.  For example, this year Scotty performed his new single on Idol.  If you just looked at the singles charts, it seemed like a complete failure (if I recall correctly the single didn’t even get into the top 50 after the performance).  But at the same time his album jumped from the mid 60′s on the Billboard Chart to the Top 20 in one week.

    Colton now has Piano Man at #113 – climbing quite a bit since yesterday. Despite leaving on April 19. To me that says volumes – not being in the top 3, without more exposure, or more music. Congrats to all the Idols but yay for Colton!

    Not to be mean, but why would I buy this guys songs, when we have John Mayer, Jason Mraz,Mumford and Son. Damien Rice is better than this guy.

     agreed.  thought it would only be fair to give PP a listen since many, many  folks I respect say he’s good.  I got bored.  I’ll listen to Mayer, Mraz, Dave Matthew, etc, etc. if I want this type music. Like someone said Mumford & the others are around. I don’t need this guy.

    Yes, but what’s unexpected is that Jessica is no where to be found.  Question is answered at this point that people just do not connect at this point to her.

    a lot of them are downloading illegally.

  • Practical

    Philip’s fans are supporting him by buying his itunes records and album. 

    Jessica’s fans are all talk when they support her.  Talks will never equate to sales support.

  • Practical

     His fans support Philip by buying his songs.  If his fans are not buying, then they are not supporting with his sales.

    People love this song.  Too bad PP doesn’t realize that.  His original music will most likely flop when people realize he’s just an aspiring Dave Matthews 2.0.

  • Practical

    Philip’s original music is Top 1 in itunes chart.

    Is that what you call flop?

    Jessica’s songs are all flop right now. Her fans need to buy her songs to support her, not just talks.

    You can have fans however they have to buy the music.. I think they all have fans, they are all talented.. Im a Philip fan and I went to itunes and bought all of his and put it on a cd because when they put there first Album out, It most of the time doesnt have what they sang on TV.. Haley Reinhart and Casey James are 2 that Ive got there itunes and bought the CD
