Kelly favourite to win World Idol
American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson is the bookies' favourite
to win the World Idol special, ahead of Will Young.
Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said: "It is very hard for
bookmakers to call but Kelly is already a worldwide star and that
has to count in her favour.
"Will Young has had a storming finish to 2003 and winning
this competition would be the icing on the cake.
"The voting system means that it is very hard to call but
Simon Cowell's presence as the US judge on the panel does bode
well for Will."
Kelly is quoted at 7-4 to win, ahead of Will (2-1), Australian
entry Guy Sebastian (4-1) and Norway's Kurt Nilsen (6-1). Diana
Karazon, from Lebanon, is the rank outsider at 50-1.
Staged in London in two parts on Christmas Day and New Year's
Eve, World Idol will be shown in countries around the world.
