It's 9:24 and the winner has not been announced. However, through my powers of deduction, I have already ascertained the winner on American Idol.
Katharine McPhee will be the next American Idol.
Here's why, and it has nothing to do with talent.
The only time a guy has won Idol is when there are no girls remaining in the field.
And, Simon gave Taylor the kiss of death last night be proclaiming him the winner. People don't like Simon, and there will be many who vote against Taylor just to make Simon look bad.
These two factors are all it will take to sink Taylor to second place, leaving the off key amnesiac as the winner.
UPDATE: Sometimes, I'm happy to be wrong. This is one of them.
