(UPDATE Dec. 18, 10 p.m.): Eagan native, hometown hero and reality TV star and musician Nicholas David was named third place on "The Voice" Tuesday night.
A longtime judge's favorite, David was announced as the third place winner behind Terry McDermott, who took second place, and winner Cassadee Pope.
Indications earlier in the day—namely the iTunes sales chart, which showed David in a distant third by virtue of his music sales in comparison to the other two—were that he would not likely take the grand prize.
That didn't stop the judge's ongoing praise.
Adam Levine called his performance Monday night "his favorite moment of the night." And his coach, CeeLo Green, said "He's an exceptional voice and an exceptional person."
(UPDATE Dec. 18, 12 p.m.): The voting is done. The results will be announced in the final episode of the Voice season tonight at 7 p.m., but if the iTunes charts are any indication, it's going to be a close battle for Eagan's Nicholas David.
As of 12 p.m., Nicholas' performance of "Great Balls of Fire" was ranked as the 15th most purchased song on iTunes within the past 24 hours. His competitors' songs — "Cry" by Cassadee Pope, and "Broken Wings" by Terry McDermott—cracked the top 10.
Songs that make the top 10 in sales receive additional votes when determining the winner.
