Depending on what media outlet or gossip blogger you believe, “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell says he thinks Adam Lambert will win this season of the popular singing reality show.

Cowell told Oprah Winfrey on last 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.” It may be true, I think Lambert has more marketability and a larger fan base. Both guys and girls, he definitely is a hottie and totally fierce. Two snaps.

On her daytime show, 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. She’s not such a hottie but definitely talented as well.

I wonder how real singers and bands make it these days? It seems like reality TV has taken over the universe.
