In one of the last few rounds of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series for 2010, one 3rd-place finalist edged out her peers in a fairly close battle.
Melinda Doolittle's 12 votes were enough to earn her 29% of all 41 votes cast, which was the largest take of all nine participants included in this round. The sixth season's second-runner-up saw her closest competition come from Elliott Yamin, who garnered nine votes (21%), followed by Danny Gokey's seven votes (17%).
There were only two finalists who failed to grab any votes during the course of the week, as Nikki McKibbin (Season 1) and Vonzell Solomon (Season 4) went scoreless in their attempts.
In the next round (the third-to-last, by the way), readers will be asked which runner-up is their favorite of all nine seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
Nikki McKibbin 0 (0%)
Kimberley Locke 2 (4%)
Jasmine Trias 2 (4%)
Vonzell Solomon 0 (0%)
Elliott Yamin 9 (21%)
Melinda Doolittle 12 (29%)
Syesha Mercado 4 (9%)
Danny Gokey 7 (17%)

Poll of the week: Melinda does a little to earn recognition among fans

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Antonella "Jersey Girl" Barba premieres a music video
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>Antonella Barba is back on the scene with a new single and music video. The Jersey girl is acknowledging what she is and after releasing the single "Jersey Girl" on iTunes back in May, she premiered her new music video for the track on her official YouTube page yesterday. Watch the video below (I'd suggest doing so with the audio off):
Well, I hear producers of MTV's Jersey Shore are searching for a theme song to the second season of the reality series. Maybe this will be a real winner? Or maybe Antonella could earn a spot in the cast. Now that would make the show worth watching!
The couple met through friends about 2 1/2 years ago, and Pickler, who was raised by her grandmother after her mother left and her father went to jail, says she learned how to have a healthy relationship from her new fiancé.This development is a very positive one for Kellie and caps off a great year for her career-wise.
"Kyle took away all my fear of marriage and has shown me the way love is supposed to be," she says.
Thanks to Jacobs -- as well as a renewed relationship with her dad, Clyde Pickler, who's been sober for a year -- "I'm in the happiest place I've ever been," she says, adding that she plans to have her father walk her down the aisle.
>In what seemed to be more of an afterthought than an example of striking while the iron is hot, Crystal Bowersox was finally allowed to perform on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Monday night. Watch her perform "What's Up?" below:
Also on the show was self-professed Idol fan and actress Dakota Fanning, who coincidentally said she was also a "huge fan" of Crystal.
>Adam Lambert was up in Canada for the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday, where he was one of 10 American and Canadian artists to perform. Watch his performance of "Whataya Want From Me" below:
Adam actually took home an award, too. He nabbed the "UR Fave: International Video" category (whatever that means).
>Danny Gokey released his second music video last week, this time for his latest single "I Will Not Say Goodbye." It premiered exactly one week ago during CMT's "BIG NEW MUSIC WEEKEND," which also featured new video premieres from artists like Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw and LeAnn Rimes. Watch the video below:
The video is pretty hard-hitting, and even though his late wife Sophia is not referenced by name or anything, it's pretty clear she serves as the inspiration for the video along with the side stories of loved ones speaking about family members they've lost.

CMT Awards wrap-up: Carrie Underwood doesn't buckle under pressure
.jpg)
Despite having to sit through a mess of an awards show, Carrie Underwood could do nothing but smile at the 2010 CMT Music Awards. Carrie won two awards, including the coveted Video of the Year distinction for "Cowboy Casanova."
Carrie must've said "awesome" a dozen times upon taking the stage to receive the buckle, as she was as appreciative as always of her fans' support. She was also sure to sneak in a kiss with her fiance, Mike Fisher, before making her way through the crowd, as seen in the photo on the right.
Earlier in the show Carrie took home a buckle for CMT Performance of the Year thanks to her "Invitation Only" performance of "Temporary Home" in addition to introducing Tim McGraw for his performance of "Southern Voice" and taking the stage to perform her current smash hit "Undo It." Watch her performance (including an awkward 10-second mute mic at the beginning and Kara DioGuardi's bumbling intro) below:
As for my predictions, I was right on with Carrie's win for PotY and loss for FVotY and Kellie's loss for CVotY, although I was [gladly] wrong about Carrie not taking home VotY.
Also in the house was Danny Gokey, who found the time to catch up with fish out of water presenters Snooki and "The Situation" from MTV's Jersey Shore. According to a tweet of his, Snooki told him her mother is a fan. Really?

IDOL LIVE predix: Season 9 winner
Before I justify my prediction for who will win the title of American Idol's ninth champion tonight, let me just say that even though last night was one of the most lopsided (if not the most lopsided) finales in the series' history, it was still pretty amazing just to think about how this was the last time Simon would be giving his signature critiques on this show. Granted, the finale was the most boring one in the show's entire history, and the season as a whole was without a doubt its worst, but right now it is not important to nitpick the season's problems. Instead, it's time to show some respect to its finalists (or at least one of them).
With that said, Crystal Bowersox should in no way, shape or form lose this competition after her showing last night. Although she wasn't pitch perfect during her three performance, Crystal easily won each round and absolutely nailed it on "Up to the Mountain," which ended up being the best performance of the season. True, that wasn't a very high bar for her to pass to earn that distinction but on a season filled with disappointing vocalists and total bores, Crystal is the one contestant who deserved better. Even though I was not a fan of her's over the course of the season, there was no denying she was the best of the worst and she showcased herself as a classy, veteran performer.
Lee DeWyze, on the other hand, was flat, pitchy, whiny and dull. So in other words, he would be the perfect match for this season as a whole. But even though it would make sense for him to win based on the fact that he has a Y chromosome (you basically need one nowadays to win this thing), Lee's mediocre vocal showings were not even on par with Blake Lewis's lazy performances. He probably gulped the majority of Casey's fans, though, which as we saw last season with Danny Gokey, really helped out Kris Allen.
By the way, I'm fully aware DialIdol has Lee winning (with a clearcut "green" bar to Crystal's "red" bar) and it has never been wrong on a predicting a winner, but at the same time neither have I. Although I was the most nervous during Season 4's finale, I always knew Carrie Underwood would win, and when everyone thought David Archuleta had it in the bag I stuck with David Cook.
So I don't really care if Lee does win because nothing could save this season from its own self-destruction. In fact, this show truly does deserve Lee as its winner because it would be the most ironic thing to send Simon off at the conclusion of the biggest joke of a season. If there's any ounce of dignity left in this show, however, Crystal will win (I know that's asking too much, though).
In my original predictions I had Siobhan winning, and considering the Top 2 we actually ended up with I don't think that would have been a bad thing to have her win it all.
Since the Top 24 I have correctly predicted 7-22 eliminations and since the Top 12 I have correctly predicted 3-10 eliminations.

IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 9 Results [Pt. 2] (4/14/10)
Following last night's showing of interesting song choices from Elvis Presley's songbook, two finalists will bite the dust after one of them was spared elimination last week. If all goes according to plan, tonight's eliminees will be deserving of their ouster.
Besides the expected performance of "Whataya Want From" from Adam Lambert, we can look forward to exhibitions by Brooke White and Miley Cyrus' ex Justin Gaston, who is currently part of the "If I Can Dream" house along with former Season 9 contestant Alex Lambert. There will probably be someone else but I didn't bother to look.

'Idol' BB 200: 'Play On' #27 (4/17/10)
Kicking things off as usual was Carrie Underwood and her album Play On, which was up four spots to #27 on the heels of a healthy 31% gain to 19.5k copies for the week. It has sold 1.444 million in all. Carrie also saw her first studio effort, Some Hearts, re-enter the chart at #194 with 3.5k copies. It was up 23% for the week and boasts a total of 6.963 million.
Fellow country artist Danny Gokey saw his album My Best Days add 9.9k to its total thanks to only 17 more copies than it accrued in the previous week (which explains the 0% increase). It fell #50-61 but has now sold 121k to date.
Meanwhile, Daughtry's latest effort Leave This Town continued to add to its platinum status with an additional 9.2k copies, coming in at #66 and up 21% and six spots from the previous week. Its total is now 1.011 million. And Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment increased slid four spots to #69 but was ahead 10% in sales to 9.1k copies for a new sum of 586.6k.

IDOL LIVE predix: Top 9 Results
Surprisingly, last night was the best performance episode of the season. That said, this season is till beyond saving. Still, it's nice to have a few alright showings here and there. Things could have been much worse considering the stature of songs the contestants had to choose from, but for the most part they stuck to what they know they can do well.
With that said, read my predictions for how tonight will go below:
Mike, Andrew, Aaron
Bottom 2
Andrew, Aaron
Eliminated
Aaron
For the first time this season since the finals began, not only will no girl be eliminated, but no girl will make an appearance in the bottom three tonight. Therefore, some might be "shocked...SHOCKED!" when Mike is tonight's third wheel among the Top 9 because the judges way over-hyped him last night (and I think they realize that by now). Fortunately for him, he will not spend much time in the B3.
More deserving of the spot is Andrew, who corned it up last night with a drowned out acoustic guitar spectacle and lousy vocals. True, he showed more personality this week and came across as a genuine guy with a distinct theme and all, but he's been skating around elimination for some time now and tonight will be the closest he comes to that danger to date. But fortunately for Crystal, Andrew will get to try once again to have Danny Gokey babies with Lee.
But then we get to Aaron, whose "Long and Winding Road" was a few pegs lower than that performed by the often compared to David Archuleta two seasons ago. It was probably the weakest showing last night, and considering he went first and was not in the B3 last week, there are many reasons why tonight is Aaron's (or Yoda's) time to say goodnight. As nice of a guy as he is, Aaron has virtually no shot at winning, so it wouldn't cause an uproar for him to leave quietly in 9th place.
In my original predictions I do indeed have Aaron leaving tonight, so it would be pretty cool if that actually happened.
Since the Top 24 I have correctly predicted 5-15 eliminations and since the Top 12 I have correctly predicted 1-3 eliminations.

HITS estimates: Carrie Underwood's 'Play On' #28 w/ 16k
The most recent edition of HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart showed us that we really need a new album from an Idol alum to help breathe some life into the dull sales data.
Although Play On by Carrie Underwood had a fairly decent week with a minute 8% sales dip to 16k copies accompanied by a hold at #28, it wasn't enough to make people excited.
And then there was Danny Gokey and his debut album My Best Days down 11 spots to #30. The album was off another 31% to 15.3k copies, which sin't bad considering the large tumble it suffered last week.
Judging from the past few weeks, full sales data and chart positions courtesy of Billboard will probably not be published later this week.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Danny Gokey chats with Walmart Soundcheck about 'My Best Days'
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>After an exceptional first week for his debut album My Best Days, Danny Gokey sat down with Walmart Soundcheck to discuss the songs on the album. Watch a teaser of his interview below:
The full interview can be watched here. Danny talks about how he thinks "I Will Not Say Goodbye" will change the music industry and that there's an energy he needs to create in the studio whereas when he's in front of the crowd it comes naturally. He also discusses how he was raised in church growing up and his family life in general.
>Former Idol judge Paula Abdul will apparently not be starring as host and judge on ABC's upcoming revival of Star Search. According to RadarOnline.com:
But negotiations with ABC broke down Wednesday night a network source told RadarOnline.com.This is probably for the better, though. Anyone remember Paula's experiment with hosting VH1's Divas special last September? Let's just say it wasn't her shining moment. On the flip side, this opens her up to be a solid contender to serve as judge on Simon Cowell's American version of his hit show X Factor, which comes to FOX in the fall of 2011.
“A deadline was given and no agreement was reached,” the source told RadarOnline.com.
“And she was offered a lot of money.”
The network wants to air the show this season.
As of right now the deal is dead. It is theoretically possible it could be brought back to life but the source said that’s highly unlikely.
“No, it looks like we hit the end of the road with Paula,” said the source.
>As for news about current Idol judges, Kara DioGuardi was the third judge to appear on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno since Leno returned to latenight, as she sat down on his couch on Monday alongside Terry Bradshaw. Watch her interview segment below:
Kara discussed a few interesting topics, including her father's announcement that he would be running for U.S. senate in New York and who she thinks is the front runner (Big Mike). She said at the beginning of the season she thought it was a girl's year but now thinks it's a guy's year.
>Fresh off his reunion duet with Matt Giraud on last week's results show, Scott MacIntyre hit the press junket to promote his new album Heartstrings, including an interview on the Los Angeles FOX affiliate morning program Good Day LA. Watch the segment below:
Scott recalled his experiences on the Idol tour and told the show's co-hosts about an upcoming trip to Japan and his Christmas show with Alice Cooper.
>Jordin Sparks performed in concert at the Star of Texas Rodeo in Austin on Tuesday. The show marked the last time one of her backup singers, Season 3 12th-place finalist Leah LaBelle, would be supporting her on the road. Watch the two duet on "No Air" below:
It has not yet been revealed what Leah plans to do now in terms of music. Jordin will kick off the spring/summer leg of her Battlefield 2010 tour in Atlantic City on Sat., April 24.

IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 12 Perform (3/16/10)
Tonight the competition finally begins for real as we blog during the Top 12 finalists' performances as they take on songs from The Rolling Stones' catalog. The finalists got to select from a list of 50 songs, including hits like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," "Start Me Up" and "Paint It Black." Who will pick what?

Tonight's blogcast features the music of Carrie Underwood, Danny Gokey, Garrett Haley, Kady Malloy, Katharine McPhee, Kimberley Locke, Melissa McGhee, Phil Stacey and Sanjaya Malakar.
HITS estimates: Danny Gokey's 'My Best Days' #19 w/ 22.3k
One Idol alum saw his debut effort tumble by two-thirds as evidenced by HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart.
Danny Gokey's My Best Days tumbled 15 spots to #19 for a second week take of 22.3k copies, marking a decline sales-wise of 67%. Despite having the best debut from a male solo country artist since Billy Ray Cyrus last week, the album suffered a big drop.
Experiencing a less drastic decrease was Carrie Underwood's Play On, which was off 6% but held steady at #28. It raked in another 17.4k copies.
And Daughtry's Leave This Town slid 13 spots to #48 as a result of a 23% sales dip for a weekly total of 11.3k.
Full sales data and chart positions courtesy of Billboard should be published later this week.

'Idol' Hot 100: Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" #20 (3/20/10)
There were more backward movements than there were forward movements when it came to tracks by Idol alums on the most recent edition of the Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of March 20.
Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" kicked things off having slid two spots to #20. Kris also saw his charity single of his live performance of "Let It Be" pull back seven spots to #70 in its second week.
Adam Lambert more or less followed suit with his single "Whataya Want From Me," which declined #24-25, while Daughtry's "Life After You" was up another two spots to #39.
Another positive advancement was had in "Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood, which was up #52-48 thanks to increases in airplay. The Idol-related track that had the biggest tumble was Artists for Haiti's "We Are the World" charity single featuring Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee among others. The single continued its crumble towards the edge of the chart with a 30-spot drop to #66.
And Danny Gokey's "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me" finally emerged onto the Hot 100 with a #82 bow off the heels of his debut album release and performance on Idol's results show last Thursday.
Full chart positions courtesy of areyoureadytojump over on Pulse are posted below:
Hot 100
20 18 Kris Allen, "Live Like We're Dying"
25 24 Adam Lambert, "Whataya Want From Me"

Digital sales roundup: "Live Like We're Dying" #22 (3/20/10)
Due to the likely absence of my usual source for Soundscan figures on Idol-related charts and sales figures for the foreseeable future, I am going to have to rely on other sources, mainly Brian Mansfield of USAToday.com's excellent Idol Chatter blog. So with that, here are data from Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart.
Kris Allen kicked things off with his single "Live Like We're Dying," which came in at #22, down three spots from the previous week thanks to a 10% sales drop to 57k downloads, putting its total at a clean 1.057 million to date. Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" held steady at #23 in light of a 7% decrease in sales, adding in 54k downloads for a new total of 597k.
There were some good numbers put up by debuts, including 40k for Kris's live charity performance of "Let It Be" and the Spanish language "Somos El Mundo: 25 por Haiti" featuring David Archuleta netted 15k for the week.
Rounded sales figures are made possible by Brian Mansfield at "Idol Chatter":
22 19 Kris Allen, "Live Like We're Dying" 57,000 -10% 1,057,000
23 23 Adam Lambert, "Whataya Want From Me" 54,000 -7% 597,000
N/A Kris Allen, "Let It Be (Live)" 40,000 -14% 86,000
N/A Artists for Haiti, "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" 38,000 -43% 580,000
N/A Daughtry, "Life After You" 28,000 -5% 492,000
N/A Danny Gokey, "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me" 28,000 1,270% 57,000
N/A Carrie Underwood, "Temporary Home" 23,000 -3% 270,000
N/A Carrie Underwood, "Cowboy Casanova" 18,000 -17% 1,214,000
N/A Artists for Haiti, "Somos El Mundo 25: For Haiti" 15,000 999% 15,000
N/A General Larry Platt, "Pants on the Ground" 15,000 -50% 163,000
N/A Kelly Clarkson, "Already Gone" 14,000 -13% 1,272,000

HITS estimates: Danny Gokey's 'My Best Days' #4 w/ 67.3k
It was a good week for albums by Idol alums, at least according to HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart.
Danny Gokey saw his debut My Best Days bow at #4 with 67.3k copies, many of which were most likely fueled by his performance on last week's results show. Danny's big opening week was significantly higher than both HDD's 45-50k guess and my own prediction of 43k, and it is almost in the vicinity of opening week numbers for Kris Allen's release last November.
Next up was another country artist, as Carrie Underwood's Play On was up 3% in sales this week to 18.5k copies, despite sliding six spots to #28. Daughtry also saw its Leave This Town rocket back onto the chart at #35.
And Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment was actually up another spot this week to #47 even though it was down 2% in sales to 11.3k copies.
Full sales data and chart positions courtesy of Billboard should be published later this week, so I will do my best to get actually numbers this time around.

HITS predix: Danny Gokey's 'My Best Days' to debut with 45-50k
With a performance on Idol's results show Thursday in the cards, HITS Daily Double is predicting Danny Gokey's debut album My Best Days to open with numbers between 45-50k. This would put his debut opening week sales below releases from fellow third-place finalists Elliott Yamin (Elliott Yamin, 90k), but ahead of season-mate Allison Iraheta (Just Like You, 32k) and Melinda Doolittle (Coming Back to You, 10.9k) (no numbers were available for Kimberley Locke's debut One Love).
This figure are fairly close to my original prediction of 43k copies. Be sure to be back here next week when Billboard will (hopefully) have final sales data available.
