Who Will Win American Idol?

at .

Simon Cowell thinks Lee DeWyze will win American Idol.

On Ellen this week, he told the show's host (and fellow judge) that his mind has changed on the likely season nine champion:

“If you’d asked me five or six weeks ago, 100 percent I would have said Crystal. But now I’ve changed my mind. I think Lee is going to win... He’s worked in a paint shop. He’s talented. He hasn’t had any real breaks in life, and this has given him a shot, and I like that.”

So that's Simon's opinion. What's yours?

Will Crystal, the reserved, reluctant finalist break the run of male winners on the show? Or will Lee go from likable underdog to deserving champion? We'll know for certain on Wednesday night.

For now, you tell us: Who will win American Idol?

Very disappointed. Personally, I really don’t want to come back. I’d rather face the killer than backstabbers. At least I know what the motives are behind the killer.
