I have followed the above program for many seasons, & this year is no exception.

However, 2012 has a very talented field, a total toss up.  I found 2 candidates who I really like.

Jessica Sanchez
Jessica is good but her performance is predictable.  I believe she is of Filipines heritage & has been performing from a young age.

Phillip Phillips
Phillip is talented but un-predictable, in a good sense.  On any given day, his impromtu performance can beat anyone.  Furthermore, he's got the looks which will drive all the teenage girls crazy who account for most of the American Idol viewers, keeping in mind that the Judges can only offer an opinion, the TV viewers' votes decide the winner.

Will keep you posted!

There is high probability that the above might be 1,2.

I have a high success rate.  I should be in the talent scout profession but MMs distracted me.

For members who follow American Idol, let me explain my #1 re predictable & un-predictable.

Jessica sang several Whitney Houston songs already from the first audition.  It is predictable because we know how Whitney sang it.  So, it is predictable.

Philiip sang several songs, none of them the conventional way.  He used the song, interpreted it his way, & sang it.  The outcome was totally different from what we used to hear, but very good.  The video posted above is an example.

American Idol 2012 had its final 9 show last night.  Based on last night & last night’s performance only, Joshua – the dark horse, upstaged the other favourites, e.g. Phillip Phillips, & Jessica Sanchez:

I will now place him as a finalist - from a dark horse to a serious contender, to one of 2 finalist!

Jessica Sanchez, the hot favourite, was voted off by the TV audience, but saved by the judges.  However, I think it was all staged to add drama to the series:

If you did not watch last night's AGT 2012.  Here is an update.

The show is now in its final leg with 6 contestants remaining.  

Last night, Phillip Phillips sang 2 songs which were both difficult for the ordinary viewers to appreciate.  I think Phillip is in danger of being eliminated unless a lot of teenage girls voted for him because of his looks.  We will know the results tonight.

Jessica Sanchez is only good with Whitney Houston songs.  Once she is outside of WH's songs, her performance has been just so-so.  She was eliminated 2 episodes back, but the judges exercised their only "save" & brought her back.

Joshua, however, got better & better.  I still believe he will be one of the finalists.

I cannot see the other finalist yet.

Phillips survived last night.

Next week, one more contestant will be eliminated & I think Hollie's time is up.

I still see Joshua as one of the two finalists & the other seat is still vacant.

Just finished watching tonight's American Idol, & I have not changed my observation.

Hollie will be voted out this week.
Phillip Phillips will be voted out next week.
The final has to be between Joshua & Jessica.  The winning margin will be extremely narrow, but it will go to Joshua.

If you follow American Idol 2012 + reviewed my #1 & #5, I picked only 3 candidates among all the contestants & all three are now in the final three.

Ben-gor, you should not doubt my hearing ability-la.  

The final 3 had their duel last evening.  We will have the results tonight, based by TV viewers' votes.

I stand by my choice of Jessica Vs Joshua in the final.

I dozed off in front of the TV 15' into the program & misssed last night's show completely, but was told that Joshua got voted out!  

Whenever TV viewers cast their votes to decide the outcome, this will happen.

Even B4 the result was announced, Jimmy - the final 3's mentor commented on each finalists' performance, he was skeptical of Phillip Phillips' chances of survival, based on WED's performance.

Anyway, due to his looks, PP for sure, has A LOT of teenage girl supporters & escaped elimination at least 2 previous times.

So the final is between Jessica & PP.  Who is to be crowned next week?

Based on singing ability, Jessica should win, hands down.

Based on real talent - interpretation of song & presents it in a different manner, PP should win, without a doubt.  However, PP often picked not-so-popular songs for his interpretation & was not appreciated.  The lucky thing is, PP got millions of teenage girls' votes so far.  These loyal followers will bring PP to the throne.

The other thing to consider too.  The Americans will not say it because it is politically incorrect, they want to see a white American win, & not an Asian/Hispanic, unfortunately Jessica belongs to this group.

Check this out, close to 60% of the respondents felt that it was the wrong choice to vote Joshua out:

The Grand Finale is TUE (MAY22) between Jessica & Phillip Phillips.

Theoretically, Jessica should win, but PP has all the teeanage girls' loyal support, so he is my choice.

The other thing to consider is that the music industry's producers will have to spend a lot of money to promote the winner's records, they want a return of their investment, QUICKLY.  Who has a better chance of bringing them that thing called money?  Not Jessica, it has to be Phillip Phillips.

Even if my guess is wrong, I am happy/pround because I picked 3 candidates from Day 1, & they became the final three.  That  is no fluke!

Just finihsed watching the Final between Jessica & Phillip.  We will know the result tomorrow.

Just as I anticipated, Jessica was impressive singing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing", although her voice due to her young age, lacked depth.  Once outside her comfort zone, Jessica was miserable.  

Phillips was "consistent" with his song interpretation.  I am counting on the fact that he will get a lot of teenage girls' support, & record producers consideration.

My choice is still PP.
