I didn’t know about this before, but tonight I picked up on what seems to be new hope, for the Jamaicans who want to take part and support their Jamaican sensation Tessanne Chin online.
Apparently each time you buy the song that she performed that night on itunes, it counts as a vote.
We can’t vote online from Jamaica via NBC’s site but we can vote via iTunes. Please vote vote vote!! #TeamTessanne

Now calls are growing for this to be made public, so that more persons can support her online.
@Digicel_Jamaica should run some promotion that would allow/encourage more ppl to buy @Tessanne ‘s iTunes songs each week!! #thevoice

I hope there’s no restriction on us buying things online, because I know sometimes based on your jurisdiction some of what you can do is limited. All the best Tessanne.
The full rules as it relates to voting is below.
Voting Rules
Beginning June 7, 2011, there will be three ways to vote for artists/contestants on The Voice: through toll-free phone calls, through online votes via NBC.com and/or the NBC Live iPad app, and through certain iTunes purchases. For a period following each episode, eligible voters may vote up to 10 times via toll-free phone call per artist per originating phone number; up to 10 times online (through NBC.com or the NBC Live app) per artist per e-mail address; and up to 10 times per artist per iTunes account, by purchasing the contestant’s then-eligible song through iTunes (up to a maximum of 10 copies).
The part about iTunes
To vote for an artist/contestant during an episode’s applicable voting period, click to download the song(s) he or she performed in competition in that episode. Each such purchase will count as one vote for that artist, up to 10 copies maximum per artist per account in each voting period. Only a download of a song performed in competition in the most recent episode (an “eligible song”) during the voting period for that episode counts as a vote for the artist who performed it. Purchasing a song that the artist performed during a prior episode or any song identified on air as ineligible for the vote or not part of the competition (an “ineligible song”) does NOT count as a vote. Only valid iTunes account holders will be permitted to vote in this manner. Eligible songs may become available before or after the applicable voting window opens, and remain available after the applicable voting window closes.
The producers of The Voice (“Producer”) and NBC (the “Network”) reserve the right to disqualify, block, or remove any votes originating from an electronic, mechanical or automated means, or originating from an individual who tampers with or otherwise obstructs the vote process, as more fully set forth in the official Vote Terms and Conditions. Rules and procedures are subject to change at the sole discretion of Producer and/or the Network without notice.
