Fantasia Barrino knows a thing or two about the talent it takes to win the American Idol crown, and the former Idol champ is revealing which singer that she thinks will win it all this season.

In an interview with The Associated Press this week, the season-three winner says she expects 28-year-old widower Danny Gokey to claim the title of in this year’s competition.

Fantasia says she loves singers who can “take a song that’s not theirs, but make it their own” and Danny moves her each time he sings. So much so, that the Grammy-nominated star votes for him regularly.

On Tuesday, the Milwaukee native took Idol fans back to 1983 with a performance of Michael Jackson’s 1983 hit “PYT.” Danny’s wife Sophia died of a congenital heart defect seven months before he made the final 13.
