Don't forget to vote for Amy Vachal tonight on "The Voice"

Amy Vachal

AMY VACHAL may have hit upon a winning formula by covering some of today's top hits instead of redoing old standards for a spot on "The Voice" singing competition.

Last week her interpretation of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" topped the iTune chart during the voting period at No. 4, the best among the remaining contestants.

iTune downloads are particularly valuable because if you finish in the Top Ten, the downloads are multiplied by ten. That was enough to garner the top spot among the Top 10 finishers last week.

The 26-year old Filipino/American crooner from New Jersey and Brooklyn needs the help  of the vast Asian/American social network community to counter all the pre-teen girl votes usually cast for the cutest, the most emotional or the longest note-holder. Amy is clearly, a singer who has her own unique style. It may please the judges, but the musicality is sometimes missed by the mass audience.

The Top 9 will be announced tomorrow (Dec. 1).

How to vote on "The Voice"

There is a strict 14-hour voting window from the end of the show (between 9:55 p.m. ET to 12 p.m. ET the following day). That seems unfair for the voters on the West Coast because their voting period is done at 9 p.m. PST.  Voters from Hawaii, where Vachal receives a lot of support have an even shorter period to vote. Each person can vote up to 40 times total (10 votes per each of the four ways).

1. iTunes: downloading a song counts as 10 votes. (Bonus: if it reaches the top ten on the charts it gets multiplied by 10.) (1 download per person = 10 votes)

2. Facebook: vote on The Voice Facebook page via this link. (up to 10 times per person total)

3. The App : Download The Voice App on your phone (up to 10 times total)

4. NBC.com : (up to 10 times total) #TheVoice
