I have not watched the results show for AI yet, and since I haven’t offered a prediction or wrap-up all year, I figured I might as well do it now.
I also haven’t watched Tuesday’s episode where the 3 semi-finalists performed, so I’m really flying blind here.  But based simply on originality alone, I believe Blake will make it to the finals. And he has a real shot at winning. I also think Melinda has been strong in every episode, even the Bon Jovi week, and deserves to be there. Jordan the wunderkind is good, but listen to her sing with your eyes closed and I believe you’ll hear her shouting. And I just can’t get past her performance on “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” I think a more appropriate title would have been “You’ll Never Hit that Note and Sing on Key.” Yikes. My windows are still showing the scars of that performance. But I think the dog’s ears have finally healed. So there you have it: Blake and Melinda in the finals. Winning it all: Blake.
Now on to DWTS: This is a tough one. I am not sure how it will play out with 3 in the finals rather than 2. Joey and Apolo are so popular already that they have a wide fan base that will be hard for Leila to overcome. I predict Joey and Apolo in the finals. Winning it all: Apolo.
We’ll see how I do. I didn’t fare so well at the beginning of the AI season – only a handful of my final 12 predictions made it, so don’t take my predictions to Vegas.
Debily out.
Hey,
I didn’t know you were watching DWTS. I am thinking (or whether, wishing) that Apolo will bring it home. All my votes are going to Laila but I think alot of people are comparing her to the pro. female dancers. She will never look or move like them. She doesn’t have the body for that.
Anyway, I will continue to vote for her until it’s Joey and Apolo, then all my votes (2 e-mail, 2 phones) will go to Apolo.
