This week on “The Voice,” we’re down to 10 contestants, another two of whom go home tonight, so if nothing else our odds of predicting who’s going home are naturally improving week to week. But let’s look at the social media numbers again. First, overall “share of voice”:

Then, positive “share of voice”:

For the first week ever, both rankings produce the same bottom two, Amber and Kris.

If we look at week-to-week follower count growth, however, we get a different ranking:

Twitter handle	Followers 5/14	Followers 5/21	Delta	Percentage
@theswonbrothers	14750	19588	4838	33%
@michellechamuel	21305	27370	6065	28%
@josiahhawley	40894	50517	9623	24%
@dbradbery	45723	55430	9707	21%
@hollytmusic	13454	16273	2819	21%
@ambercarrington	14520	17149	2629	18%
@kristhomasmusik	12130	13966	1836	15%
@sarahsimmusic	25314	28828	3514	14%
@sashaallenmusic	16674	18985	2311	14%
@judith_hill	39953	43041	3088	8%

So the question is whether buzz or follower count (or neither) correlates better with actual results. So far, follower count has correlated a lot less well, so this week I’m going with buzz — especially since overall buzz and positive buzz line up this time.

But social numbers haven’t been right yet this season, which I’m sure make Kris and Amber happy to no end. 🙂
