Simon has a huge article in TV Guide this week.
A few things he said.:

The final will be Adam and Gokey.I think it would be a miracle for that not to happen. You've got someone who is safe and popular versus the entertainer. Danny may win because he is the safer option and hasn't taken as many risks. I put it at 55-45 Danny but then last year I was sure Archuleta would win.

Can Adam be a star? One hundred percent. He's somebody who should be selling records all over the world. He's that good and a lot of producers will want to work with him.
What about Danny? Not so much. He's more American. He'll do very well here. But when you do a show like this, you hope you're going to find somebody so unique, so different, who can represent the show all over the world. And that's more Adam than Danny. Imagine what this competition would look like without him. He's shaken everything up, this boy.

Favorite performance so far of the season? Mad World.

About Adam's sexuality-I think people only get bothered when they know somebody's hiding something. (laughs) We've had that in the past. We've obvously never had an issue with it, nor should anyone else. It's a huge step forward for the show. It's just, do you like him as person, as a singer? Full stop.

It's a HUGE article, those are just a few of the finale type things.

There's a ton more about his relationship with the other judges.
