Simon Cowell picks Taylor to win

Simon Cowell has named his pick to win American Idol - Taylor Hicks (aka The Silver Fox).

On Monday's night's Tonight Show, Cowell told Jay Leno,

"I would say (his chances are) pretty good, pretty good. I'm going to say he's the favorite – but what do I know?"

For the final two, Cowell sees Taylor going up against Katharine McPhee:

"Based on last week, absolutely she should have gone," he said. "But you know, she's got a fighting chance. I think she'll make the final – and I'll tell you why, because I'm choosing one of her songs this week."

I love that, Simon is so modest - well we will see tonight if he's picked a good song for her or not.

Meanwhile Abdul has told Teen People:

"I am going to be honest with you – I want Elliott to win."

That only leaves Randy to say his pick is Katharine and then at least the winner would have been picked by one of the judges!!! But I can't see him doing that.
