I accidentally posted my predictions in the wrong thread, so I'm reposting them here:

Bottom 5: Aaron Crow, Christina Wells, Flau'jae, Samuel J. Comroe, Zurcaroh

5. Glennis Grace

4. Shin Lim

3. UDI

2. Brian King Joseph

1. Courtney Hadwin

Basically, I've already stated my reasons why I think Courtney is a likely winner, and I think Brian King Joseph will be a major dark horse. I can definitely see UDI getting hit by the Third Place Curse (if you're wondering why I didn't add Front Pictures, I think they will get cut early like Sila Sveta did). Shin Lim is great, but the Top 3 are more popular than he is.

Honestly, #5 could easily be any of the acts I listed; unless Aaron Crow screws up, I see him going really far. Christina Wells is not to be underestimated with her singing ability and great story. Flau'jae has a great story and message in her songs. Samuel J. Comroe is super likable and hilarious. And Zurcaroh is just really good at what they do. I put Glennis Grace there because she's the most seasoned singer this year, and I think a lot of people will notice that and vote for her. I could ALSO maybe see Noah Guthrie in the Bottom 5.
