My Take On the Show
At this point in the competition I thought the show was decent last night. I found a lot of them better then you did. Anyways let me share my opinions.
1) Adam- Did a very good job on that song, and does well covering that type of music. At some point will have to sing a ballad to get pretty far in the contest. Having said all that, that is a battle for another day. Right now he should be very safe. And had one of the better performances of the night.
Grade A-
2)Michael- Sang the song decently, a few pitch problems, in fact this was the wrong song for him, and also the weakest I heard him. Has potential to do much better. Still Solid though.
Grade B
3) Savion- Timing of the song was off. Didn't love the way he sang it either. Average at best performance in my opinion
Grade C-
4) Mark- Sang well, song did nothing for me or him for that matter. Solid but not great.
Grade B
5) Trevor- Worst performance of the night in my opinion.
Grade D-
6) Clark- He can sing, that is not and issue here. But his performance style was little too theatrical for my liking, he held onto the one note waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. One time he sang and didn't even sing into the mike. That performance could of been so much better if his performance in my opinion didn't take away from it.
Grade B-
7) Rayvon- Finished much better then he started. But not the best performer in my opinion, and get no feeling from him when he sings. Decent, but far from good.
Grade C+
8) Daniel- Vocally he had a few issues in that song, but overall I don't think he did a bad job on that song. that is the way the song is pretty much sang for the most part. now whether you like that song, well that is a matter of opinion, I happen to like it FWIW. Almost no chance he is going home he is gonna get a lot of votes in my opinion.
Grade B-
9 Riley- Worried because he is the only singer of that genre he may get in. But his first 1/2 of that song wasn't very good. 2nd half better finished stronger. Overall didn't love it.
Grade C-
10) Quentin- This one is tough. I actually think the guy can sing, but his style is weird in my opinion. Depends on whether America get turned off on his style. Overall I thought he was solid, but I do admit and acquired taste. Could be in trouble if a lot of people don't like the taste.
Grade B-
11) Nick- He sang it very well to me. Solid vocal good performance. One I disagree with you the most on to be honest.
Grade B+
12) Qaasim- Way better then his other performance. Vocal was decent. Performance was great. Overall a really good job. Don't necessarily believe he will do it again, but I actually liked that one.
Grade B+
My Four Cuts

Anyways my opinions differ a little from yours, I would say overall I thought they were better then you did. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
