The Voice: Season 9: Top 11

Shelby Brown: You and I:
comment: She did absolutely no justice to this song. One of the very few Lady Gaga songs I actually like... Haley Reinhardt did a better version a few years back on Idol.....
chart position as of 12:02am after performance: 139
chart position as of noon (close of voting): 95
change: ^44

Evan McKeel: Smile:
comment: meh. It was okay-ish. Did absolutely nothing for me. I'm ready for this one to go home.
chart position as of 12:02am after performance: 67
chart position as of noon (close of voting): 43
change: ^24

Barrett Baber: Delta Dawn:
comment: Okay... this was different. I kinda dug it. Not really enough to buy it though. We'll see how the votes go. If Chicago's reaction is anything to go by, they'll find it still too dated.
chart position as of 12:02am after performance: 48
chart position as of noon (close of voting): 29
change: ^19

Korin Bukowski: Only Hope:
comment: This one is a better pick than it was last week. She needs to be doing more of this kind of vocal. I suggest something by Deana Carter next, maybe Once Upon a December?

Analysis:
Biggest sales increase this week goes to Shelby with a 44 spot jump in the charts.

We had three in the Top 10 spots of the Top 200 sales in ITunes this week.  Fairly certain we'll see Amy (4th, with 3 additional songs coming back), Jordan (8th, also with 3 additional songs coming back) and Emily Ann (10th, with last week's song showing back up) go through to next week's competition.  Joining them could be Madi, who missed the Top 10 by only 5 spots. However, if they look at the sales and take into account additional songs making a resurgence to the chart it is possible she may lose this spot to Jeffrey who was only 12 spots behind her.

In the middle of the pack we have Jeffery (27th, with one song coming back), Barrett (29th), Zach (31st) and Evan (43rd). Considering the results from last week, each of these could possibly have to sing tonight for a save. Jeffery being the least likely of the 4 listed.

Rounding out the week's performances we have Korin (55th) , Braiden (63rd) and Shelby (139th). Now if we just had ITunes to contend with, two of these three would be singing tonight. However, we have the phone in votes and as we saw last week, those tweentards just lurve the Flat-ironed wonderboy. Well them and the geriatric set, although the latter is less likely to be burning up the texting minutes to get the child through. Are we sure that VFTW isn't back up and running again?

Bottom 2 should be Braiden and Shelby (bad song choice and worse singing spot killed her this week). However, I'm suspecting that either Korin, Zach or Evan might be taking his place. Pretty sure Twitter will get fired up this week, unless the B2 comes down to Shelby vs Braiden/Evan because I'm kinda over the 3 of them already. Then again, I may fire up to save Shelby.....
