Cassaddee is doing very well on iTunes, but so is Terry.

Can anyone explain the iTunes “10 purchase vote limit per song”? I buy it once and can’t figure out how a “single user” can “purchase” the same song more than once. Not that I’m crazy and want to buy the same song multiple times, but just sayin’…..I still don’t understand that rule. Do people have multiple iTunes accounts? I thought that would be counted as a separate user?

Get over the iTunes thing. For one, it follows all the same information you find on Twitter and Facebook and Youtube hits. Itunes votes (non-top 10) are sooo small compared with phone+internet voting where you vote 10 times per artist per phone or email address or facebook account. If there are a small fraction of people willing to spend money for more than 1 copy of a song, first off they are crazy, but mainly there aren’t that many of them compared to the millions of votes you get from the 4 other methods. Amanda wasn’t the only one who was singing covers. THEY ALL ARE! She didn’t get as many votes. She wouldn’t have gotten as many votes even if you didn’t have iTunes to point to. We are jumping on the iTunes because it is a real-time representation of voting and this is the only time we have any clue about that–usually it is all the producers black box. Watch Twitter at the end and look for the official NBC tweet your vote tweets and Cassadee cleans up. Amanda didn’t. You liked her. Not everybody did.

The idea of buying a song being 10 votes is good, but they still allow unlimited voting on the website. Which means I could go there and if I have enough time, vote way more than 10 times. I think they should limit the number of votes one person can make. With unlimited votes it favors the teens’ choices.
