David Cook probably secured his spot in the finals with his Top 7 (Always Be My Baby) and 6 (Music of the Night) performances. Blake Lewis probably secured his spot in the finals with his Top 6 performance (You Give Love a Bad Name).<br /><br />There aren't that many votes being cast this year, compared to past years, and I suspect that a couple of contestants are sucking up a lot of the votes. [That said, constant vigilance, Crystal fans! Constant vigilance!] That makes each week a bit of a crapshoot. Want to end up higher in the ranks than Turban, and to increase the odds of a record contract?

Same thing with "People Get Ready." Crystal would be great for that song (she's great for every song), but I could see Big Mike pulling it off, too, or even Casey if he can recreate his soulful "Jealous Guy" vibe. Personally, I'd rather see Crystal do "I'll Stand By You."

That being said, it's probably too late for big risks.
