Which two singers will compete in this year's  finale on Tuesday, May 19?

Judge Simon Cowell told Entertainment Tonight at a press conference for his NBC series America's Got Talent,  "I would put my money on Adam and Danny ... It is going to be Adam and somebody...I would like to see Adam and Danny because I think they are the best two singers, and at the end of the day that is what should happen." 

Plus, Simon dishes on Kara & his future at Idol.....

When asked about Kara being added to the mix of things on the panel Simon said, "I like Kara. The more I get to know her, the more I like her. You can't make the same show forever. You have got to make changes because people will get bored. So anything that promotes change, I will push for."

Kara, has written songs for many past "American Idol" contestants, including season 1 winner Kelly Clarkson, and she just may be the writer of the single that this season's winner will record.

"She is certainly in the right place, but it has got to be a good song," he points out. "We wouldn't guarantee it just because it is her, but she is a great songwriter."

Simon only has one more year on his "American Idol" contract and he has openly discussed leaving Idol to work on his other TV projects. ET asked, "Is it a done deal, or can FOX make him an offer that he can't refuse?"

"Maybe I did speak a little too openly in the beginning. I hinted at [leaving] and then people started asking me questions. If you asked [FOX], they would say the same thing. We always said there would be a finite time," he tells ET. "I have had a good eight years. We never thought we would get beyond one season. I can honestly say it is the best eight years of my life, but you get to a point where you go, 'Maybe it is time for a change.' It has got nothing to do with the relationship with FOX, because we get along brilliantly. We haven't even sat down [to negotiate]. I may be premature. They may say, 'We don't want you.'"
