WOW….. Billy Gilman just blew me away…… That was incredible….. But I think Blake forgot even though it was a Martina McBride song, she is not the only incredible female vocalist….. I would love for Billy and Carrie Underwood sing together, she is the vocalist that he needs to be with, she is at her level……… He is the winner of this show, hands down……

sundance’s song has gone to #1 on itunes! when i heard it i thought ‘this is going to the top’ because it was such a happy fun song (that is normally not a description of a song i would like, haha). ‘the top’ to me meant he was the winner of the night. i didn’t think he’d get as far as #1, wow.
i tunes didn’t have the charting up last night. i always have ‘so much fun’ checking things out and listening and i was really disappointed. i hoped that it was just ‘something was down’ and that appears to be the case. i’m so glad it is back up.
brenden fletcher is #3 on itunes.
sooo..that’s two Voice singers in the top 3 of itunes.

we mcdonald was amazing last night in terms of her professionalism and performance. i didn’t like *all* the talking stuff, but she amazed me, especially just being 17. it is interesting that she talks about having been bullied. i think she can be saying ‘how do you like me now?’…

polls at closing, sundance #1 and brendon #2. it looks like ‘my’ aaron will be going home this week. i didn’t like last night’s song. as soon as i heard it, i thought, oh darn, a bust, and the charting seems to prove that. too bad, he just needed a good song, i think miley steered him wrong. she picked upbeat because he won both ‘saves’ with a faster song, but i don’t think it had to do with the song, it had to do who he was against in those saves. oh well.
