It’s funny that the “Who Will Win Poll” results are inverse to the Favorite finalist result. Now, I’m thinking I should have also asked “Who do you WANT to win” in the poll. My feeling is that people settle on a favorite by the time the final rolls around. In other words, final performances don’t affect the outcome much.
For instance, although Fifth Harmon had a great night last night. And even though several pundits are predicting they will win, I think they peaked too late to surge to the front.
However, while I was sure Tate would probably win the competition, I’m not entirely sure now. The combination of Carly’s fans, Britney’s fans and pity votes (after the LeAnn trainwreck) could put the young singer over the top. Decisions, decisions. Ok. Here’s my prediction:
1. Tate Stevens – He’s been in the lead for much of this season. I don’t see that changing.
2. Carly Rose – She had a few strong weeks in the middle of the competition, but I think she fell behind and won’t recover.
3. Fifth Harmony – Valient effort from the girls, but too late in the game. What do you think?
