iTunes Releases Wildcard Contestant Popularity

Thanks to MJ'S Big Blog for the info. iTunes made a mistake AGAIN and released the sales of the wildcard performers' iTunes tracks. Matt Giraud, Anoop Desai, and Megan Corkrey are way out in front (because Idol's voting and buying audience are frauen, tweens, and crazies), followed by Tranny Alien, Ricky Braddy, Jesse Langseth, Von Smith, and in dead last fabulous Tatiana Del Toro. This certainly bodes well for 3 of the wildcards' survival in this competition. As for Jasmine? No one likes her, even if we have to hear how "commercial" she is every time she farts on stage. The only way we'd like her is if she's the VFTW pick, and even then, she barely has a shot at lasting more than 2 weeks on the show.

If you combined this story with the lack of a 13th phone number, perhaps they'll just scrap the phoning in tonight altogether and say that someone will be eliminated based on their iTunes sales between the end of the show and, say, 5 p.m. tomorrow.

What, I'm the only one who downloaded Queen Tati's performance? For shame.

They made Tatiana sing the same song so everyone had already downloaded it three weeks prior. Hilarious that she came so close to Von.

This wasn't a simple mistake. I bet they released these to mock Tatiana again, although any logical person would know that most people wouldn't have repurchased the same song so her rank is skewed.

I was about to post that same comment. Von's really wasn't that good though His last one was way better.

I like Jasmine. She can really sing. I just don't think the judges like her. They had to add an extra spot for her, so they could put Anoop through, without looking bad by putting him ahead of Jasmine. She was amazing, and he was terrible. He may be ahead now, but I think Jasmine has a great chance of winning.

I’m sure Tatiana was one of the highest selling singles in the first semi finals round but people are not going to buy the same song twice especially if the first one they bought was longer. That would feel like Idol is ripping us off. If people wanted it on their Ipod, they’d buy the 1st one so that’s why the sales were low.

Her 1st “Saving All My Love” performance was the only song I liked enough to buy this season when usually I buy a lot more. I’m not going to buy it again though since the first version is longer. I also think she had more confidence in that performance and sang better where as the wildcard show, you can tell she was more nervous.

I thought she was the best singer of the season but people couldn’t look past what they thought of her laugh and crying. I happen to like her personality and think she’s funny.

Funny the aliens don't even have enough budget to push Jas to top.

There was some intergalactic attack on her home planet. Too busy defending their territory to buy some itunes.
