Who SHOULD win America’s Got Talent 2016?
Over 29% believe Grace Vanderwaal SHOULD win AGT. I’m surprised the votes weren’t more evenly divided between Brian Justin Crum and Grace. Not surprised to see The Clairvoyants in 3rd. The mentalists are the act I think should win, by the way. The duo is the most polished and ready of all the acts to hit a Las Vegas stage.

Are you glad Simon Cowell is Sitting on the Judges Panel?
Personally, I’m in the “Eh” category. But I think Simon did bring some new energy to the show, which this season was more popular than ever.
- Yes. He’s made the show better. – 84.98%
- Eh. – 8.84%
- Nope. I miss Howard Stern. Or anyone else. – 6.18%
Prediction: The judges predict, in a post-show interview with Billboard magazine that either Grace Vanderwaal or Jon Dorenbos will win AGT:
“I think it’s going to be Jon [Dorenbos] or Grace [VanderWaal],” Heidi Klum admitted to Billboard on the post-show red carpet. “That’s what I feel in my gut.”
Simon Cowell is on the same page. “By the feeling in the room, that’s what I felt,” he added. The notoriously tough judge deemed VanderWaal an instant superstar, but admitted that it was Dorenbos that ultimately won over his heart. “I don’t know why, but I got very emotional during the performance. And I don’t normally feel that way,” he said. “There is something about him and what he said that was so genuine and it’s unique. He’s going to go a long way.”
Meanwhile, Nick Cannon is slating VanderWaal to “be bigger than Taylor Swift.”
“My prediction is she’s going to be the biggest star since a Kelly Clarkson and a Carrie Underwood to come out of a talent show,” adds Howie Mandel.
Howie added that his phone has been ringing with calls from industry professionals who want to know about Grace’s post-AGT plans.
I tend to agree with the judges. I’ll not-so-boldly predict that Grace Vanderwaal will win. And I think Jon Dorenbos, between his name recognition and heart tugging backstory will be runner-up. Either Brian Justin Crum or The Clairvoyants will be 3rd.
