I concur with your prediction exactly.
Scotty
Pia
Lauren
James
in that order
Thinking though...
We have had fellas the past 3 seasons. It might be time for a female idol again so that may give Pia the upper hand.
Scotty will get a record deal regardless. I’ll bet he’s already got contracts in waiting.
Pia is more mainstream and current. Big, powerful voice. Beautiful. Huge star potential because not only can she sing but the camera loves her too.
Lauren is very pretty with a great voice but needs to grow into herself more. Jordan Sparks was so young when she won and while she’s had a couple hits, has not achieved the success level of Carrie or Kelly. Disadvantaged by age I think. Blooming early then falling off the map.
