Grease - Final Picks

The grand finale of GREASE is this coming Sunday. The judges all like Max and Laura going into the finale. I’m rooting for Austin and Laura. Austin looked in shock when the judges all went against him. And if he wins, they’ll have to mend some fences with him first. I don’t think he will, though. He was recently in the bottom two, and I think the people voting from home favor Max. He’s just the fan favorite, though I think Austin is a better actor and singer. But the folks at home will use it against him that he’s a “professional,” and his attitude is occasionally a bit cocky.

Laura and Ashley are more closely matched. Both can sing like nobody’s business, but I prefer Laura’s slightly more subtle acting over Ashley’s acting to the back row of the theater. The latter may work better on Broadway, but I still favor Ashley. I think the producers are safe with either choice, though. I’m still ticked that Kate went home so early.
I think Ashley and Austin had the best chemistry of all the pairings on Sunday, too.

We’ll see on Sunday who’s going to Broadway. . . I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see others — like Derek — asked to come on board in smaller roles in the show.

    […] Predictably, Max and Laura won. The girls were a toss-up. Max won the popularity contest, though I think Austin would have been better. But, hey, America gets what America wants. […]
