Now here’s an interesting story:
Last week, a glitch in the Apple software allowed fans a glimpse at which contestants are selling the most “Idol” downloads — studio versions of the contestants’ live performances — on iTunes each week.
iTunes sales figures have long been kept secret at the insistence of “Idol” producers, who were concerned that sales figures might give away the relative rankings in the popular votes …
Not suprisingly, the leader — by far — is front-runner Adam Lambert, who holds six of the top 10 spots in the Idol chart this season. The haunting “Mad World”– the song that got Simon Cowell on his feet for a rare standing ovation — is the No. 1-selling song so far this year, the iTunes site showed.
But right behind Lambert is Allen, who has three performance downloads on the secret chart. Gokey has just one, his version of “Endless Love” at No. 9. Allen’s slow version of “Falling Slowly” from movie night is No. 3. His bluesy update on the classic “Ain’t No Sunshine” is No. 8 and his tender “To Make You Feel My Love” took the No. 10 spot.
Of COURSE my precious Adam is number one, but I’ve long been bored by Danny Gokey. I think he’s a great guy with a great voice, but week after week I find myself checking my Twitter account during his performances — I’m just not interested. Kris, on the other hand, is slowly starting to worm his way into my heart. I loved him last week, and I finally started to see why he was still around. I also looooove Allison Iraheta, but I know she probably won’t win this thing — which is probably better in the long run for her career, anyway.
Anyway.
What I find the most interesting?
Is that Idol ‘scandal’ stories always seem to break the same day the show’s scheduled to air.
Nice Twitter plug!
Remember last season when they first started offering the performances on itunes, and Jason Castro’s “Over the Rainbow” was like off-the-charts popular, and Idol had to scramble to make the popularity of the songs unavailable in the future? I’m sure it just slipped their minds…
They may as well make Adam the winner now-he is head and shoulders above everyone else. However, I do really like Kris. He’s the cute hetero hottie of AI. Allison is starting to lose me, and Danny sounds like his voice is giving out. And is Mole Man still around?
Kris is my favorite this year… truly a better singer than the goddess Adam. He is gonna go so extreme RuPaul on everyone’s asses once he wins, it’s gonna make Clay Aiken look like Fiddy Cent. Just sayin’
Adam was OTT tonight. AJ Tabaldo from season 6 sang Nina Simone way better.
ive been watching for the first time this year. i really like adam and allison. there are already versions of the other guys on the airways. kris allen reminds me of ryan cabrera of all people. nothing new.
adam and allison will both be successful regardless of the outcome, i think.
Kris is not Hetero. He is my favorite and has made it soo far already. I knew that Allison would not win and I dont like Danny at all. Week after week he sounds the same and Is so boring I just want to fast foward the performance.
Adam Lambert leaves me HOT, Chris leaves me COLD, and Clay leaves me SICK! Why does he think he has any entitlement to JUDGE Adam or anyone else for that matter. AND TO DUALIENOTED: To belittle is to BE little.
