    How much would it cost, dollar wise, for a contestant to buy their way to victory through iTunes?  

  • OffLeash

    I agree. Cody’s performance was embarrassing. It almost looked like he wanted to be voted off, it was so ridiculous.

    Same with idol.  Fans spend money on texting plans and gophones to vote.  At least with the Voice, you’re limited to ten votes per method.

  • http://twitter.com/cara_lee pj

    I think any one person can only download a song ten times.  That isn’t to say people don’t have multiple itunes accounts.

    I think in order to knock her out the winner will have to catch all the casual votes at the finale. It probably will be Nicholas or Amanda but could be Terry or Bryan.

     From the rules, it looks like you’re limited to 10 votes per *e-mail address*.   In other words, online voting is effectively unlimited.

    If you have the time and patience for that sort of thing. I sure don’t.

  • OffLeash

    I didn’t say The Voice was the only show where fans could vote with their wallets, and don’t get me started on Idol’s voting system. It raises my BP LOL. I just meant that’s the one part I don’t like about a revamped TV that’s become almost flawless in my eyes otherwise.

  • http://twitter.com/cara_lee pj

    Oh, I agree.  I also don’t think more than one download should count. Who needs ten copies of any song? It’s definitely a money making ploy.  Nice to see some of the original artists getting a bump, though.

    I’d figure it far more likely that Cassadee makes the finale than it is that the title is somehow usurped from her at this point. It’ll be fun seeing who makes it with her. I’d say Nicholas, Bryan, Amanda, Trevin, if he makes it past this week and gets his original act back together and better than ever, Melanie, if she continues her story arc of successfully getting back into the groove of things, and /maybe/ Terry all have a shot at making the Top 2. 

    Sylvia and Cody are most likely to be eliminated tonight but I would not be surprised if Trevin left; however disappointing that may be, he’d've brought it on himself.

    lol this kills me, the fact the people actually think the voice is about getting any of the contestants into the industry, they could cares less.  It all about ratings and getting a show with a strong viewership, they get 10 mil an episode they’re over the moon.  Look the the promotion any of the winners has gotten.  The Itune aspect is the only good thing for the contestants because it can show labels they have the ability to sell.  With the economy today long gone are the days of a labels taking a chance.  Outside the winner it will be tough for anyone to get a shot from the show :)

    Oh my God:
    69. Terry McDermott – Summer of ’69

    LOL.

    On a side note, Melanie and Amanda have been knocked down below 10 now thanks to Flo Rida and Maroon 5. I wonder if they’ll still get acknowledged for breaking the Top 10, though, and thus get their votes multiplied anyway?

     Amanda and Melanie only get the multiplication bonus if their song reached and stayed in the Top 10 before 10AM Eastern/7AM Pacific when the vote closed.

  • Jordana33

    I don’t have a major problem with the 10x bonus for songs in the top 10. I think most artists in the top 10 of itunes, end up with about 60,000-500,000 downloads per week, which is at most about 70,000 downloads per day or 700,000 votes. If you have a song at #1, then you probably deserve those points, I guess. 

    On the other hand,  I do have a big problem with making all itunes sales cumulative towards the finale episode, especially since it includes downloads outside of the episode’s voting window.  It now means that a contestant could potentially do horribly in the finale and still win by a landslide. This new rule also strongly favors the artists with fans in a higher socioeconomic bracket, which is bordering on unethical, IMO (not to mention, a lawsuit waiting to happen).  Allowing up to 10 downloads per song, also means that the final result won’t be a measure of the song’s marketability, but more an indication of the contestant’s fans.

    I think this was posted before, but here’s the full link of all the voting rules (apparently subject to change, LOL):http://www.nbc.com/live-vote/the-voice/faq.shtml

    I think Melanie will be fine. I had checked their numbers a few times right before 10 am and Melanie kept bouncing between #7 and #9. Amanda, however, was at #13 on one list and at #9 on the actual itunes site, so I’m not sure about her.

  • http://twitter.com/Loretta31 Loretta

    Yeah, Melanie #2 on Itunes.  It is comforting to know that while she is not a fav here at MJ’s ( as she is always mid-low in the polls) her itune sales tell a different story.  Very happy for Melanie and I think there is a market for her.

    And we already know which contestant will most take advantage from these new rules.

  • jlscott13

    I’m pretty sure that as long as a song has made it into the Top 10 (even if they don’t stay there) they get the 10x the votes advantage…

  • http://www.facebook.com/jnoodles Jonathan Frahm

    Checked it first on my end at about 9AM PST and they’re were both still in the Top 10. Looks like this bodes well for Cassadee, Melanie, and Amanda then!

  • http://www.facebook.com/jnoodles Jonathan Frahm

    Definitely. I really do like her, too.
