Adam Lambert shakes it right, according to no less a judge than Simon Cowell.

"He's got that 'it,'" the American Idol decider told Oprah Winfrey on her show Monday. "He's got swagger."

Cowell even went so far as to say that Lambert, whom he termed fearless and unique, will be the winner come next week's season finale. Randy Jackson, who sits on the judges' panel with Cowell, recently had a similar prediction.

Also featured on Monday's Oprah Winfrey Show was Britain's Got Talent contestant Susan Boyle. Cowell wished her "best of luck" in that competition, for which he is also a judge, and recently warned, "She's got to sing better than she's ever sung before," if she wants to win the competition.
