At the moment, my boyfriend and I have more or less agreed we want to see either Fighting Gravity or Prince Poppycock to win--all four are great, but Fighting Gravity is very unique and Prince Poppycock has shown he can do multiple things and is very creative while the other two are just...singing. And the only reason Jackie is getting so much attention is because she's a little girl--she's not the best opera singer ever, she's just...a little girl. And just because she can sing like that at that age doesn't mean she'll be like a goddess when she's older--it just can mean she's learned to sing it earlier. (And I've never heard of Ave Maria being a very hard Opera song until now, but maybe that's just me?). She's already been offered parts in various places too and she has plenty of time to go again (Hey! I can sing opera and I'm only 10! will get her tons of people alone) so I'd really rather not see her win... Besides, an Opera singer has already won before (which is why it was good that Prince Poppycock showed how he could do so much more and not JUST opera)
Michael Grimm isn't bad and I do enjoy his voice, but there's nothing more to him. He sings. Lots of people sing. There's nothing super OMGOMGOMG that I could see that would get him a successful Vegas act. Yes, he can be a successful singer, but people don't go to Vegas just for singing.
