This could be the answer... Simon Cowell was on The Tonight Show last night and said:
"Who would I like to see win? I'm going to say, David Cook. And I'll tell you why I say that...only because the guy started off working in a bar...I kind of feel he deserves to win more...where the other guy, he's 17, cute, hasn't quite had to work so hard as the other one."
While I'm still guessing Archuleta will win until I see the performances tonight...Simon is usually right on, love him or hate him. While he didn't give a real "prediction" (as he has in the past, such as with Carrie Underwood), it's a pick, and we'll see. Meanwhile, let's not forget, Paula gave her pick a couple of weeks ago...for David Cook...and hasn't backed away from that.
