Oh, I was just writing over on the Rolling Teen Debutante thread that I hope Brooke White and David Archuleta resist all advice for them to "take risks," since they're both beautiful staying within their comfort area, whereas David gets harsh or ungainly whenever he goes for big effects (Brooke so far has resisted the big stuff, in fact has managed a beautifully understated version of "Let It Be" that I actually am willing to pay attention to!).

However, I'm just referring to Brooke's singing style: irl I hope she, like, goes to a see some R-rated movies someday.

Yeah there are definitely artists who should stay being safe, but they're still even then I think it's better for them to be imaginative about how they work their comfort area - Cassie is a great example. She doesn't have a great deal of range but she does she REALLY does, in ways which couldn't possibly be considered safe.
