Oh, she's most likely going to win, no doubt (Even though she really isn't all that entertaining). But remember: Prince Poppycock's fanbase is batshit insane and will not go down without a fight.
Also, I watched it and I agree with Pierce.
I don't know if it was "Too serious," but it was not nearly as creative or entertaining as his previous performances. The fact is that classical opera is something that has been done and is being done better than that, and what made Prince Poppycock even mildly appealing was that he didn't do opera, he took the basics of opera and turned it into something much more exciting.
Well, I disagree. Prince Poppycock's voice was completely flawless during that performance; in terms of technical skill, PP is one of the best opera singers who ever competed on the show. While the show was more serious/less quirky than his previous outings, it certainly retained a sense of wonder and spectacle. I always thought that it would be a good idea for Prince Poppycock to go out on a more emotional note, and picking that song really does seem like an appropriate "fairytale ending," in PP's words.
Also, the whole thing is looking more and more like sabotage to me. Apparently, a load of technical problems accompanied Prince Poppycock's performance last night, and that's in addition to Piers waiting til the very end of Prince Poppycock's show to buzz him (Making me wonder if the only reason he did it was so he could give Evancho a better chance at winning).
Oh, they were rigged, alright, but I'm content that the winner was Michael Grimm, and not that generic Cute Little White Girl (TM). Besides, the winners are usually forgotten about, anyway (Save for Terry Fator, who's actually doing quite well over in Vegas); Prince Poppycock will become a major player in the mass media soon enough. :)
If so, she's probably going to win. Prince Poppycock is a little too interesting.

Why does everyone call him "Pierce?"

You know why I don't watch talent shows?
Everyone who enters is easily forgettable, even the finalist. It's just fifteen minutes of fame with money thrown at it from every direction.
Prince sure ain't forgettable, though.
