Simon Cowell has predicted that Adam Lambert will win this season of American Idol.

“I would have to put my money on Adam right now,” he told Oprah Winfrey on the Monday edition of her talk show.

“I think he’s got that ‘it’. I think he’s fearless and I think he’s unique. And he’s got swagger.”

Here’s hoping that Simon’s got it right this time, as Adam is by far the best singer and performer left on the show. He is the most memorable and charismatic person to appear on the show in years, but it isn’t a great sign that he ended up in the bottom two just a few weeks ago.
