The second half of American Idol‘s Top 24 sang for viewers’ votes on Monday, taking the stage opposite some true music icons, from Jewel and Josh Groban to Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd. (Guys, remember Incubus?!)

Read on for our breakdown of the night’s performances, with video for each:

JASON WARRIOR, 25 | The first solo performance of the night, The Weeknd’s “Call Out My Name,” may have started out smooth and chill, but things took a very sudden, very emotional turn. By the end of Warrior’s performance, he was on his knees, seemingly in tears. When he met with duet partner PJ Morton, he asked how he can take his music outside the walls of the church. The solution, apparently, was to bring the church to Idol, resulting in a truly unexpected take on the Bee Gees’ “How Deep Is Your Love.” There’s no denying Warrior’s natural talent (Lionel Richie even said, “It does not get any better than that”), but sometimes I wonder if Warrior needs to lay it on so thick with every performance. A little variation never hurt anybody. Click here to watch.

MADISON WATKINS, 26 | First of all, Watkins managed to change my (previously negative) opinion about Justin Bieber’s “Holy,” which is a feat in and of itself. It was a good choice for her solo, as it felt current and showed off quite a bit of her range. Tori Kelly was also an inspired choice as Watkins’ duet partner for Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing,” even if she suffers from Ryan Tedder syndrome. (We already know Kelly can sing. She didn’t need to totally outshine her partner with those runs.) Luke Bryan called her a “natural entertainer,” while Richie commended her for reacting to what Kelly was doing, instead of focusing on her own prepared part. Click here to watch.

BEANE, 23 | I feel like we’re really witnessing an artistic evolution with Beane, even if his borderline cheesy performance of Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” reminded me that, oh yeah, he’s definitely a wedding singer. Robbie Williams’ “Angels,” which he then sang alongside Groban, was a much better fit. He opened his mouth and loveliness poured out, complementing Groban’s voice perfectly. (I was not expecting him to be able to hold his own opposite Groban, but he totally did.) Extra points to Beane for swapping “she” with “he” as an act of “defiance.” Watch:

HANNAH EVERHART, 17 | I genuinely enjoy this young star on the rise, so it pains me to say that her solo performance of Chris Stapleton’s “I Was Wrong” was… not her best. She was then introduced to Jason Aldean, with whom she shared some ribs before sharing the stage. The judges enjoyed what she put forward, for the most part, but they urged her to believe in herself more. Frankly, I’m just disappointed that we never found out about the chicken she was supposed to send Claudia Conway via FedEx “dead or alive.” Which one was it, Everhart?! Click here to watch.

MARY JO YOUNG, 19 | Real talk: I’m so sick of hearing Ed Sheeran’s “Castle on the Hill,” so I appreciated that Young at least switched things up a bit in order to show off her range. And don’t even get me started on her duet with Jewel. I was already excited for “Foolish Games,” and that was before my ears were blessed enough to hear their voices on it together. The tight harmonies, the growling, the hat — all of it! I’m pretty sure I blacked out during this performance, and when I came to, I saw that I had just written “Yes! Yes! YES!” over and over. It was that good. Watch:

CHAYCE BECKHAM, 24 | Oh, another Sheeran song? You. Don’t. Say. Beckham picked “Afterglow” for his solo performance this week, and while it wasn’t incredible, it was definitely solid. As Bryan noted, it kind of felt like Bruce Springsteen’s take on the song. I’m not sure I would have paired him with Boyd for his duet, as their polar-opposite voices struggled in the blending department, but it was still a good performance. And I’ll take any excuse to revisit “Drive.” Click here to watch.

COLIN JAMIESON, 22 | It’s easy to forget how high most Bruno Mars songs are, since he makes them sound so effortless, but those notes aren’t easy. Yet Jamieson managed to absolutely slay “Locked Out of Heaven” without breaking a sweat. (That said, I kind of wish he hadn’t bothered to pick up the guitar midway through, as it only took away from his incredible vocals.) Then came his duet with Kelly, who apparently only teams up with other heads of luscious hair. And while their collective hair game was definitely strong, their vocals on “Hollow” were even stronger. This was one of the best duets of the night for me. Watch:

LIAHONA OLAYAN, 17 | I’ve felt that this firecracker has been radio-ready and highly marketable from Day 1, and her solo performance of Audrey Mixa’s “Just Friends” only served to reinforce that belief. Joining Morton for a dramatic duet of “Say So” was a risky move for Olayan, who admitted to having a fear of showing her vulnerability, but it was definitely worth it. She held her own on stage with Morton, and the judges were right to celebrate how far she’s come. Click here to watch.

AVA AUGUST, 15 | The irony of August performing Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License” as her solo, when she herself isn’t even old enough to operate a car on her own, is not lost on me. And neither is August’s incredible voice, which holds a beautiful quality well beyond her years. Come on, if you can give Groban chills, you know you’ve got it. Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” was an inspired choice for a duet, and the end result was absolutely stunning, like it was meant for her to sing. The judges likened her to Judy Garland, which I hadn’t considered. I have, however, considered how stupid I was for not including August in our (extremely) early Top 10 predictions list. I’m really kicking myself for that one. Watch:

CALEB KENNEDY, 16 | Remember how tough Bryan was on Alex Miller earlier this season, constantly trying to steer him away from old-school country in the hopes of discovering a fresher sound? That’s kind of how I feel about Kennedy, who delivered a good — but not terribly exciting — cover of The Allman Brothers Band’s “Midnight Rider.” His duet, “Fly Over States” opposite Jason Aldean, was also kind of a snooze-fest. The judges clearly disagree with me, as they praised Kennedy for being “possessed by a very old, seasoned countryman.” Is that really a good thing for this competition? Click here to watch.

HUNTER METTS, 22 | When I first saw that Metts was taking on Sia’s “Chandelier,” my head cocked to the side like a tiny dog trying to understand human-speak. But once he began his stripped-down take on the ubiquitous jam, I started to get into it. I did find it a bit sleepy, though, and I noticed that not a single judge stood up for it. Metts got a second shot, duetting with Jewel (who immediately drew the Ryan Phillippe comparison) on the singer’s timeless classic “Foolish Games.” She challenged hm to deliver a big vocal moment, but it never quite manifested, resulting in a performance that really only showcased Jewel’s voice — which sounds better than ever, by the way. I actually thought the judges were too nice about this one. Where’s Simon Cowell when you need him? Click here to watch.

CASEY BISHOP, 15 | Best solo of the night? Best solo of both nights? Either way, Bishop sang the hell out of Paramore’s “Decode,” and the producers knew exactly what they were doing when they chose to end the night with her. I wish she had been paired with Jewel for her duet, but Boyd wasn’t a bad choice — nor was “Wish You Were Here,” a song I haven’t thought about in at least a decade. This girl is Top 5 material, no question. Watch:

For the first time all season, Sunday’s American Idol dimmed the lights to reveal (half of) the singers proceeding to the live episodes, sending three hopefuls home in the process.

But that made the night sound way more depressing than it was. With a little help from some of the most recognizable voices in music — including Jason Mraz, Shaggy and Pat Benatar — Sunday’s episode gave us a handful of really incredible duets

But before we get to the results, let’s critique all 10 of tonight’s performances. The judges apparently didn’t feel like being hard on anyone, so forgive me in advance if any of my (completely inconsequential) grades seem too harsh.

Walker Burroughs with Jason Mraz, “Have It All” | The first duet of the night was a lovely full-circle moment for Burroughs, whose first-ever performance at the tender age of eight was of Mraz’s smash hit “I’m Yours.” (In other news, upon realizing that Burroughs was eight years old in 2007, I immediately turned into a pile of dust and blew away in the wind.) Unsurprisingly, he managed to match Mraz note for note, never missing a beat. The harmonies were tight. The dancing was not.
Grade: A-

Kate Barnette with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, “Heartbreaker” | Having grown up listening to mostly Disney soundtracks and gospel music, Barnette was admittedly nervous about tackling this iconic song alongside the icons who gave it life. But she powered through it, and the few part she nailed, she really nailed. Honestly, the fact that she could even play guitar back-to-back with Giraldo without completely falling to pieces is impressive enough.
Grade: B- (Click here to watch!)

Riley Thompson with Brett Young, “Like I Love You” | I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea to have a 38-year-old man do a romantic ballad with a 16-year-old girl, but on a strictly auditory level, I very much enjoyed it. Made all the more impressive because it was literally her first-ever duet, as noted several times, this was peak Thompson: soft and sweet throughout, peppered with well-timed surprises that showcased the power in other facets of her voice.
Grade: A

Uche with Shaggy, “I Need Your Love” | Now this was a pairing that worked on every level. The vocals weren’t the most impressive, but it was the first performance that made me feel like I’d been dropped in the middle of a concert. The two showmen matched each other’s energy perfectly throughout, sharing the spotlight and giving each other ample opportunities to shine.
Grade: A- (Click here to watch!)

Madison Vandenburg with Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, “We Belong” | Even though I feel like Benatar overpowered Vandenburg for much of the song, I thought she still managed to hold her own. Frankly, it was her final note that really sold me on the whole performance. Either way, she was never in danger of elimination.
Grade: B+ (Click here to watch!)

Shawn Robinson with Elle King, “Proud Mary” | Poor Robinson. I take no pleasure in saying that this performance was kind of a mess, and not just because he jumped into a verse early. (To his credit, he recovered nicely.) Robinson was nervous going into this one, thanks to a last-minute change in the arrangement, and his fears were definitely realized, even if the judges chose to give him largely positive feedback.
Grade: C+ (Click here to watch!)

Ashley Hess with Jason Mraz, “I’m Yours” | Hess feels like the kind of artist Mraz would collaborate with on his own, so I had high hopes for this slowed-down duet, which were absolutely met. Hess’ buttery voice melted perfectly with his, resulting in stunning harmonies and magical chemistry.
Grade: A+

Bumbly with Shaggy, “Angel” | First of all, I love that Shaggy was strictly paired with single-named contestants this evening. I’ve always believed that the true beauty of American Idol rests in its subtle nuances. Anyway, this was a fun little performance, and I appreciated that it gave Bumbly a chance to show off her vocals, if only mostly towards the end.
Grade: A- (Click here to watch!)

Laci Kaye Booth with Brett Young, “Mercy” | I know I say this every week, but I can’t even believe that Booth’s voice is real, it’s so perfect. Tonight, we were all her mom sobbing in that audience. While some other contestants were eclipsed by their professional partners, Booth fully dominated this duet, commanding our attention and stunning us with those smoky vocals.
Grade: A+

Laine Hardy with Elle King, “The Weight” | King paired much more naturally with Hardy than she did with Robinson, resulting in a well-rounded rock ’n’ roll performance. But as nice as it was to see Hardy’s family in the audience, I would have preferred a shot King’s. Every time I remember that her father is Rob Schneider, my mind explodes all over again.
Grade: A-

Then came the (somewhat) hard part. Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan stood before the contestants and revealed which seven are going through to the live episodes, announced in the following order: Laci Kaye Booth, Ashley Hess, Walker Burroughs, Madison Vandenburg, Uche, Riley Thompson and Laine Hardy. So Sunday’s episode marked the end of the road for Kate Barnette, Shawn Robinson and Bumbly.
