And for it to have been such an important performance, some of them really fell short. So let’s get to the Top 10 report card.

Olivia Rox, “Unconditionally.” This was a terrible song choice for her. It was too mellow and boring. I wanted to hear her rock it out and this was the time to really let loose. Grade: B

Gianna Isabella, “Listen.” If you’re just an OK 15-year-old singer, don’t sing Beyonce. Especially don’t sing a great big song like this. I’m not a fan. She’s too young and will surely have later success, but I don’t think now is her time. Grade: C-

Lee Jean, “Skinny Love.” I didn’t love this song choice and he seemed nervous, which is weird for him. I don’t think this is going to pay off for him and he could be in danger next week. Grade: B-

Avalon Young, “Stitches.” This one was a little boring at first, but did pick up later. I think her voice is really unique and I like that she’s embracing this TV thing more now. Grade: B+

Dalton Rapattoni, “Hey Delilah.” This was a perfect song choice for him and his energy was fantastic. The vocals weren’t perfect, but he’s doing most everything right. Grade: B+

Tristan McIntosh, “Nothin Life You.” She looked great and she has a nice tone, but this performance was very, very bad. Grade: D

MacKenzie Bourg, “I See Fire.” This guy is pretty flawless. He seems almost manufactured, though, and I’d love to see him vulnerable, but I can’t say anything bad. He’s good, this was good. Grade: A

La’Porsha Renae, “Diamonds.” If you watched last night’s episode, I don’t even have to say anything. Perfection. Grade: A+

Sonika Vaid, “Bring Me To Life.” I was shocked by this song choice, but it was a great performance. It was energetic and passionate. It was her best performance to date. Grade: A

Trent Harmon, “Like I Can.” Well, this was definitely the La’Porsha and Trent show. I LOVED this performance and I love Trent. His voice is the most unique in this competition. Grade: A+

So there’s my American Idol 2016 Top 10 report card. How would you grade the performances?
