Day 2 voting on the listener poll saw Blake Shelton increase his lead, Carrie Underwood jump into second place out of nowhere, and Bucky Covington slip down to third place. Remember, the top 5 vote-getters out of this week’s group will face the top 5 vote-getters from Group 2, which will be posted next week. The finals will be at the end of the year.

Looking back through all of her years of giving gifts, Julianne Hough says the gift she is most proud of is a homemade ornament she made for her mother when she was 13.
