Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sold on Paris Bennett. I think she has an excellent voice, don't get me wrong. It's just that I don't really see her as being able to pull off "pop" singing, week after week.

I'll place my early bets on Katherine McPhee and Lisa Tucker.

It's not just you. Personally, I like Katherine a lot. But I belive the judges and AI machinery will try to tilt the competition toward Paris. With her connections, the girl doesn't need AI. Such is the status of the show now that some people who wouldn't have been caught dead entering it a couple of years ago now see it as a shortcut to careers they probably would have achieved anyway.
