The judges on So You Think You Can Dance probably shouldn't be playing favorites—after all, the final four dance tonight, and you get your chance to vote and crown the winner next week. But when you're the brilliant and talented and all-around awesome Mia Michaels, we suppose it's totally allowed, right?

Mia just told me who she thinks might win season seven, and also weighed in on the rumors that Nigel Lythgoe will fill in Simon Cowell's producing spot on American Idol...

See her pick her two favorite "frontrunners"  in this video right here...(Hint: Not Adéchiké. Sorry, guy!)

I think some of you will agree...

And guess what else Mia is confident in? Head judge Nigel Lythgoe and the future of SYTYCD

"I don't think he's going anywhere, [SYTYCD] is his baby," she told me when asked about talk of Nigel returning as executive producer on American Idol. "But I think that [SYTYCD] is such a strong-run machine at this point and I know he wouldn't lose the integrity of it. He's not like that. I trust he'll make the right decision, and I think the show will continue to grow and evolve and change and breathe its own life."

Still, Mia admitted she's not even sure about her own contract sitch next season, but proudly announced: "I would love to be there!" 

Who are you rooting for in the finals of SYTYCD tonight? Is Mia right? Weigh in below!
