HOME > American Idol > American Idol 5 'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell reveals his winner prediction
By Reality TV World staff, 03/13/2006
Unlike last season in which he openly claimed that Carrie Underwood would walk away as America's newest Idol, American Idol judge Simon Cowell isn't ready to definitively predict who will win this season's fifth edition of the smash-hit Fox reality series, but he has revealed that he has narrowed the list down to just three possibilities.
Naturally, all the contestants were ecstatic to have survived American Idol 5's semifinals. "It doesn't get any better than this!, " Kellie Pickler told Extra correspondent Terri Seymour (also happens to be Cowell's real-life girlfriend) in a segment broadcast on Friday's edition of the syndicated entertainment news program. "I can't believe I'm standing here on the red carpet with you!" "This is crazy," gushed Paris Bennett. "This is so amazing," added Lisa Tucker.
But according to Cowell, the odds makers will be wrong. "It'll be between Kellie, Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry," the sharp-tongued judge -- teased by fellow judge Randy Jackson for "finally showing a tear" following Ayla Brown's emotional reaction to her Thursday night elimination -- told Seymour. Cowell also doesn't see Kevin Covais, another favorite of the show's female viewers, making it to American Idol 5's final round. "He won't be winning this competition," Cowell remarked. "You heard it here first." However the 16-year-old high school student disagrees with Cowell's assessment. "You'll be seeing me, I think so," Covais told Extra.
