FINAL PREDICTION
Hannah Harper has been running away with this thing since she stepped in front of the judges for her audition. She wowed the judges–Lionel Richie Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie–with her performance of her viral original song “String Cheese.” The country singer already had a huge online fanbase which she brought with her to the show. It seems like a slam dunk.
HOWEVER, I’m looking back at last season when I ever so confidently predicted that country singer John Foster would take it all. Instead, soul and gospel singer, Jamal Roberts walked away with the crown. Stranger things have happened!
