I couldn't begin to guess. I won't know who I think should go until I hear Wednesday night's performances.
My favorites are, in order,
1) Lauren (She should sing "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow")
2) Jacob ("So Far Away")
3) James ("Don't Bring Me Down")
4) Haley ("I Feel The Earth Move")
5) Scotty ("You've Got A Friend")
6) Casey ("Up On The Roof" or "It's Going To Take Some Time," and he should sing either accompanied only by his standup bass)
For me there's not a heck of a lot separating these performers. It's anybody's game. They all have to be on fire next week, and it'll be hard with Ms. King's songs, most of which are stunning and perfect but downtempo.
Hopefully voters won't be too put out by the nature of the material. I think Carol King can do no wrong but it might be an intimate show.

Thanks for your take on song selections. I like to see what others feel they should sing, and then what they actually choose and how they perform it.
Agree that this material will challenge them and in some cases provide a chance to show how they can handle something different.
Your picks match 4 of mine. I also think that 60s songs with really emotional lyrics will separate the men from the boys next week. You can’t smile-n-sing through them without looking like a phony. They do have to bring it. They have to feel and believe these songs. The girls have a chance to do really well but they have to believe their song.
