The Voice Finale Prediction: The Winner of Season 20 Is Probably Going to Be…
Now that the head-scratching decisions have been made, the dubious song selections have been executed — literally, it’s sometimes seemed — and we’ve all heard the Welcome to Team Legend ditty about a bazillion times, Season 20 of The Voice has come down to the big question mark looming over the competition.
No, not “How are we going to survive on only one cycle of the NBC sing-off next year?” but “Which of the Final Five is going to win?” I think I can answer that question, too — correctly, even. (Somehow I managed to accurately prognosticate the victor in Seasons 19 and 18. Before that, erm… my track record was as much miss as hit.)

So, with an ear on the remaining contenders’ past performances and an eye on voting patterns (both on the show and in TVLine’s post-recap polls), I’d say that…
… Jordan Matthew Young (Team Blake) has a five-percent chance of winning. With the support of his coach’s massive fan base, and enough experience not to let nerves undermine him in the home stretch, this likable blue-collar blond is a shoo-in for… well, a third-place finish. He has, after all, needed to be saved by both Blake and the Wildcard.
… Cam Anthony has a 41-percent chance of winning. Though the 19-year-old’s powerful pipes and polished performances have made him not only Team Blake’s standout but inarguably the entire season’s standout, I suspect that he’s going to wind up in second place. Why, when he’s so superlative (and even I’m pulling for him)? Four words: the massive country vote.
