Cowell made his prediction for the Fox TV talent competition during a Thursday telephone conversation broadcast on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio show, the New York Post reported Friday.
"Let me tell you who's gonna be in the finals," Cowell said. "The bald-headed kid (Daughtry) and the guy with gray hair (Hicks)."
A few minutes later, he added, "I think the top three will be the two I mentioned and Kellie Pickler."
Around this time last year, Cowell correctly predicted Carrie Underwood would take the crown, the newspaper noted.

Why is he so bent on Kellie? She is definitely not one of the top 3 talents there. Taylor and Chris, yes, but Kellie...ugh.
I don't know, but I'd put Mandisa as third. I haven't voted for Kellie and I won't. I have voted for Mandisa though, and Melissa, and Gedeon.
I totally agree. I think this story is a reprint from earlier in the week (even though it has today's date). I can't imagine Simon making this prediction after sitting through the Gherkin's horrible performance Tuesday night.
