American Idol: Top 10 Performance Grades

The top 10 American Idol hopefuls sang songs under the tutelage of pop star Gwen Stefani last night, and the results were underwhelming (at least compared to last show). There were no great performances, insomuch as a typical Melinda Doolittle performance isn't considered great. In truth, all of her performances have been great, but we're used to that level from her and, therefore, they've begun to sound typical.
As we've been doing for the last month or so, I've given each singer a grade for their performance last night. This is not like the NBA Slam Dunk Contest; I'm not going to give a bunch of A's just because I can. I've yet to give an A-plus, though I'm hopeful it will happen at some point this season (I'm looking at you, Sanjaya). Check out the grades below.
