When it comes to predicting the American Idol final pairing, Randy Jackson is going out on a limb shorter than Ryan Seacrest.
During an appearance at Amtrak’s National Train Day in Washington D.C. (seriously, it’s a real thing!), the judge predicted next week’s finale to come down to Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert.
“Adam Lambert is definitely the lead winner if we had to choose today. He’s got the vocal chops, he’s a good-looking guy like myself, and he’s got that star potential,” Jackson said. “I think it’s going to come down to him and Danny [Gokey] in the finale.”
Are you a Lambert Lover or a Goke Head?
As for rumors that fellow panelist Kara DioGuardi might not return to the judges’ table next season, Randy said:
“I think everybody will be back. I think you will see the returning cast.”
