Tonight’s Odds
A recent poll from Gold Derby reveals that Grace Kinstler is predicted to win the competition, currently tracking 1/1 odds.
She is followed by Chayce Beckham with 2/1 odds, and Willie Spence with 5/1 odds. However, and as we’ve seen in the past, these polls are simply indicators of what might happen. As fans should know at this point, anything could go down.
Gold Derby writes, “The fact that there’s such a narrow spread between the finalists suggests there really is no front-runner this season. It’s true Grace has been at the top of our winner’s chart for most of the season, it’ll all come down to who wows viewers the most when the Top 3 sing for America’s votes live coast-to-coast on Sunday night.”
The finalists will take to the stage four times during tonight’s three-hour finale. They will sing one celebrity duet, one song representative of their hometown, one favorite moment song, and conclude with a judges’ choice.
For the judges’ picks, Beckham will sing “Blackbird” by the Beatles, Kinstler will sing “All By Myself” by Celine Dion, and Spence will sing “Georgia on My Mind.”
The finale of “American Idol” will air tonight, May 23, at 8 p.m. Eastern time, 5 p.m. Pacific time on ABC.
