Simon Cowell: Adam Lambert will win 'Idol'


Simon Cowell: Adam Lambert will win 'Idol'

"American Idol" judge Simon Cowell says he thinks Adam Lambert will win this season of the popular Fox singing competition show.

Cowell told Oprah Winfrey on Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that his money is on Lambert because the contestant is fearless, unique and "he's got swagger."

Winfrey also featured Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle, who is competing on "Britain's Got Talent." Boyle told Winfrey she's "loving every second" of her newfound fame.

The 47-year-old Boyle became famous after she shocked judges and the audience with her version of "I Dreamed a Dream" from the musical "Les Miserables."

One of those judges was Cowell, who congratulated Boyle and wished her "best of luck" on the rest of the competition.

Adam Lambert gets his text from Simon: He'll be doing U2's One.

"Alright, Simon -- it's on."

Simon says it's one of his favorite songs, ever, adding "I had to get permission from the band, because they personally clear it." He got a call from U2 lead singer Bono on Saturday giving Adam permission to sing the song (name dropper).

I've heard some great versions of this songs -- U2, Mary J. Blige, Johnny Cash. Adam starts it at an unbelievably subdued level. It's just gorgeous. But it doesn't last long. He goes from gorgeous to shrieky -- and, I'm sorry, I hate reverting to that over-used descriptor, but there's just no better word to describe it -- in less than two seconds. That trick has worked for a lot of the songs that he's done, but it just sounds awful here. Arrangement's great, though.

Randy says he's still in the zone but didn't love it so much when he went off the melody: "It is a great song, and you're a really, really talented guy." Kara said he just proved that he can take a song and do it in a completely different way (she's just figuring that out?). Paula: "You don't know how miserable my life is right now, sitting next to [Simon] gloating." (Adam says she should hit him again.) Simon thought it was a brilliant song choice and a doubly brilliant version. "If you're not in the final next week, it will be one of the biggest upsets."

Adam suggests the audience rewind the video at home so they can see just how great the lyrics were......see the lyrics as per below...............

Is it getting better Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you

Now you got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life When its one need
In the night Its one love
We get to share it

It leaves you baby
If you dont care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well its too late
Tonight To drag tha past out
Into the light Were one
But were not the same

We get to carry each other

Carry each other One
Have you come here for forgiveness

Have you come tor raise the dead

Havew you come here to play jesus

To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much

More than a lot

You gave me nothing

Now its all I got

Were one
But were not the same
We hurt each other

Then we do it again You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I cant be holding on

To what you got

When all you got is hurt

One love One blood One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers One life
But were not the same

We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
