Although Jacob Lusk and Scotty McCreery were at the top of the buzz heap after Tuesday night’s “American Idol,” several contestants made impressions and spurred interest from online fans. The race is not nearly as close after Wednesday’s top 12 female show.
By 11:15 PM on Tuesday night, Lusk, McCreery, Casey Abrams, Paul McDonald and Brett Loewenstern had all made impacts on Google’s Trending chart. As of 11:15 on Wednesday, the only female garnering interest is Pia Toscano.
And she is doing so in a big way–following her acclaimed rendition of “I’ll Stand By You,” which garnered the first judge standing ovation of the season, Toscano ranks as the most-searched term on Google. That should bode well for her in the voting–Pia Toscano appears a lock for a spot in the finals.
No other female contestant, nor any song selection, was in the top 20.
(Update: As of 12:38AM, Pia Toscano remains the most searched term on Google. She is no longer alone in the trending mix, however, as “Idol” contestant Haley Reinhart is now tracking at fourth)
