I have a lot of thoughts on the finalists. For now, thougtts on the possible outcome.

Final placements prediction: 1st Grace VanderWaal   2nd Jon Dorenbos   3rd Brian Justin Crum      4th The Clairvoyants   5th Tape Face     Bottom 5: everyone else

This is the same top 5 order Chrissh has. I based my predictions on statistics I have seen on Twitter. While Grace is probably going to win and I'm not convinced she should, Jon has a pretty strong voting bloc. BJC will likely make the final 5 but I'm not convinved he can win. He would have to sing something as compelling as Creep. The Clairvoyants have been consistent since their audition and I expect them to do great. How strong is their voting bloc? Tape Face reminds me of Piff, inconsistent and he could go either way. He can make it the top 5 but so can many other acts.

Dream results:  1st Jon Dorenbos   2nd The Clairvoyants   3rd BJC   4th Viktor Kee   5th Tape Face or Sofie Dossi

Dream results with Grace:  1st Jon Dorenbos   2nd Grace VanderWaal   3rd BJC   4th The Clairvoyants   5th Viktor Kee

Nightmare results:   1st Laura Bretan   2nd-5th whatever

The impossible results:   1st Viktor Kee   2nd Laura Bretan  3rd Sofie Dossi   4th Linkin Bridge   5th  Sal Val
