AI Top 8: I Lost It At The Movies (And Not In The Good Way)

**********

Full plate this evening, and I have to be up early in the A.M. so I won't elaborate on my grades tonight. Will try to do a full Report Card tomorrow, or post-elimination show (bye bye Paul? Haley? Stefano?) on Friday.

As always, I reserve the right to alter these grades (and probably will) once I listen to the performances a second time, as is my usual metier when grading - for perspicuity's sake, of course.

I’m not sure how we Idol viewers all relate to each other, but ain't it nice that we all gather and emit our disparate voices across the blogosphere?

So, here are the grades (for now). And keep in mind that a "B" hardly constitutes a proud pass. Just sayin'.

Paul McDonald Song: Bob Segar's "Old Time Rock N Roll" (from RISKY BUSINESS) My grade: D+

Lauren Alaina
Song: Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" (from HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE)
My grade: B

Stefano Legano

Scotty McCreery
Song: George Strait's "I Cross My Heart" (from PURE COUNTRY)
My grade: B

Casey Abrams
Song: Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" (from THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR)
My grade: B
