As the anticipated American Idol finale draws closer, Lance Bass, Beyonce Knowles and Tara Reid have already picked out their favorite to win - Ruben Studdard.

Studdard and Clay Aiken, both 24, will compete against each other in the grand finale this week, and the trio of stars have assured they'll be rooting for the larger-than-life Alabama native.

Reid says she thinks he's "funny", while Knowles coos, "His voice is beautiful."

'N Sync star Bass explains, "I'm rooting for Ruben because I like his voice. He reminds me of Luther Vandross."
