It’s Ladies Night on American Idol, meaning the Top 10 will perform songs made popular by female artists.

At the end of the night, two more contestants head home.

You know what that means. Vote, vote, vote for your favorites before Ryan Seacrest announces the closing of the voting window near the end of tonight’s show.

I’ll be posting song by song grades here, but they won’t land until after tonight’s show ends.
