2009 American Idol Winner? Simon Cowell Makes Prediction
American Idol judge Simon Cowell has predicted that Adam Lambert is going to win the Fox singing competition this year, according to an Associated Press report. Cowell made his remarks on yesterday’s episode of the Oprah Winfrey show, saying that Lambert is fearless, unique and “he’s got swagger.”
Winfrey also featured Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle, who is competing on the UK equivalent of American Idol –Britain’s Got Talent. Boyle told Winfrey she’s “loving every second” of her newfound celebrity. The 47-year-old spinster became famous after she shocked judges and the audience with her remarkable rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical “Les Miserables.”
American Idol Top 3 - My Predictions For Tonight's Results Show
Last night the remaining Idols - Kris Allen, Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert - sang their little hearts out, with both a personal song choice and a judge's song choice. All three knocked their personal choices out of the park, but were a little iffy on the judges' choices, proving that they know their talents better than the judges.
The judges made a clear and blatant pitch for Adam, Simon going so far as to ask people to vote for Adam.
A few weeks ago I went out on a limb and predicted Kris Allen to win the competition. I thought I'd explain my thoughts a little more and then we'll see tonight if I'm right.
1) I think the judges' blatant bias may work against Adam tonight. Fans have proven again and again that they'll vote for another contestant just to prove the judges wrong.
2) Adam probably isn't winning any new fans. Yes, he's extremely talented, but unless you like his style of rock music, you probably aren't going to pick up the phone and vote.
3) Adam has been in the bottom three; but it's likely he picked up Allison's voters after she was sent home last week.
4) I think Kris has been the underdog in this competition, and I think he's going to make it through tonight. In fact, I think they'll call him first and let the audience sweat out whether Danny or Adam is through while we sit through Katy Perry singing.
5) I think that Kris has a better chance of winning than the other contestants.
What are your American Idol predictions?
Two of the remaining "American Idol" finalists -- Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen -- will advance to the finals on tonight's results show. It airs 9 p.m. on Fox.
On Tuesday's performance show, when they each sang two songs, Allen put up a good fight against Gokey and Lambert, contestants who have long seemed like a preordained Top 2. Many fans labeled Allen's acoustic take on Kanye West's "Heartless" the best song of the night.
