Simon Cowell has hinted that a female will win his last season of American Idol . Cowell, 50, made the forecast as his engagement to Mezghan Hussainy slowly turned from fiction to fact this week and ahead of his own sudden departure from the show. Exactly a dozen women are among the ninth season’s 24 semi-finalists with a good shot at the Fox singing contest. “We’ve had a few years of guys winning the show, and I would say there is definitely a better chance of a girl winning the show this year, certainly, than last year.” Last year, Cowell fulfilled the prediction for the UK with what could be seen as the greatest discovery in talent show history emerging in the face of Susan Boyle – on Britain’s Got Talent . With plans to take the X Factor on the road to Vegas, Cowell was not stopping with SuBo. “I’d love to find a Taylor Swift ,” he said.
