I'll be watching for pure enjoyment next week knowing that both of them should get signed with Interscope. Jessica should really have the title of American Idol though... she has the voice to fill the shoes. Plus if Phillip doesn't win it should give him more time to churn out strong solo material—we all know the winners are fast tracked and rarely put out great debuts.

I don't think it's an overestimation, it's just that Jessica's stanbase just happens to be equally as powerful. I don't think there has ever been such a powerful counterpart to the fabled WGWG finalist since Adam Lambert, and even he wasn't as strong because he had a lot of anti-votes working against him.
I still think Phillip takes it, but I won't be shocked if Jessica wins. All opinions are subject to change after the performances next week, of course.
