WHAT THE AMERICAN IDOL 2011 TOP 6 SHOULD DO FOR "CAROLE KING" WEEK

This week on American Idol, the top 6 finalists will be taking on songs by the chart-topping singer during her time, Carole King. Each contestant will be taking on a song by Carole King, or maybe a song written by Carole King - anyways, almost all, or maybe all of the songs she sung were written by her.

• Jacob Lusk - "Been to Canaan" is a song that Jacob could really take, and change interestingly. "Goin' Back" is another good song for him, but I'm not really sure for Jacob this week. I just hope he survives and he picks a really great Carole King song, because I can't think of any song for him, though I did a lot of research.
• Haley Reinhart - "I Feel the Earth Move" really suits her voice, and I think this is the best Carole King song ever. She could also do "It Might As Well Rain Until September" because it also suits her voice perfectly. I just hope no more growling, no more air-heady-ish reactions, and more criticism from the judges for her because there are times in a song where she is losing her voice. Haley is one of the people I think would be in the Bottom Three this week. She could also do "Jazzman".
• Casey Abrams - he could definitely go for "It's Too Late" because there's no other song I could think of for him. The genre of this song is Jazz Fusion anyway, so maybe he could really do well with this one. If he want to try other things, he could play with "Only Love is Real" where I think everyone would have fun, because it is a really nice song. If he wouldn't do well this week, he will be in the bottom three but I have a feeling that he will not be eliminated, YET.
• Scotty McCreery - "So Far Away" would be good for him, since it's a Folk Rock song. Reba McEntire covered this on her show in 2002 and Reba is a country singer, so maybe, this would be a good song choice for Scotty. If he wants to take a risk, he should then do "Smackwater Jack" because it sounds like an Elvis song, and the way he takes on an Elvis song is really amazing, he could get the judges back if he sings this song.
• Lauren Alaina - "Now and Forever" and "Nightingale" are some of the songs that she could sing, but I want to see more from her, where she will really take a risk, she could do "You've Got a Friend" in a really different, but better way, by maybe taking the song with a higher voice, because Carole King's take on the song, though it was flat, it sounded really interesting, and that's what really matters right now, taking on good "song choices" in an interesting way, using a really great voice. She could even win America's hearts with this song.
• James Durbin - he could definitely change the way "Where You Lead" was sung, and turn it into Metal. Another song is "The Loco-Motion" which is way too far out of James' song choices, but he could experiment with it. He could also do "Chains" so he could continue having fun on the idol stage.
