Simon Cowell Predicts Chris Daughtry & Taylor Hicks For The American Idol Final Two

With only four American Idol finalists left in the competition, Simon Cowell has been voicing his predictions for the final two. FoxNews.com reports that Simon Cowell told Good Morning America that “If I had to put money on it, I think it will be between Chris [Daughtry] and Taylor [Hicks].” ExtraTV.com also quotes Simon Cowell as saying “"My favorites now have to be Chris or Taylor with Katharine being the dark horse."
Simon Cowell has barely had a kind word to say about Taylor Hicks throughout most of the American Idol 5 competition. Now with Taylor Hicks as the sole remaining contestant who has never been in the bottom group up for elimination on the show, Simon Cowell seems to be finally warming up to the singer that he once compared to a drunk dad at a wedding. Not only is he predicting Taylor Hicks for the final two, he also called Taylor “a very, very good singer” after his recent performance of “Something.”
However, Simon’s comments could very well backfire against Chris Daughtry and Taylor Hicks. Elliott Yamin fans will likely be upset that Simon appears to have pretty much ruled Elliott out as having any real chance at winning the competition. Katharine McPhee fans will also likely feel inspired to vote repeatedly to insure her continued survival in the competition.
Once? LOL Try nearly every chance he gets!
