Every week, Simon Cowell is the voice of reason on American Idol.

Based on his prediction yesterday on The Oprah Winfrey Show, we think (and sincerely hope) the judge is speaking the truth once again.

Asked about who would win this season, Cowell pointed to Adam Lambert as the clear favorite.

“He’s got that ‘it,’” Simon told Oprah. “He’s got swagger.”

Britain’s Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle was also featured on yesterday's show.

Cowell wished her “best of luck” in that competition, but also warned: “She’s got to sing better than she’s ever sung before,” if she wants to win.
