Paul McDonald and Casey Abrams get high marks, while Jordan Dorsey and Robbie Rosen might not make it to the next level.

Another season of live "American Idol" episodes is officially in session, which means it's time to bring back MTV News' reality-show report card. Who rose to the front of the crooning class Tuesday night when the top-12 men took the stage for the first time? Who's in danger of being booted out of class? Sharpen your pencils and open to a fresh sheet of notebook paper, because it's time to get busy grading!
Excellent
Paul McDonald
Why wasn't he featured more in Hollywood Week? Goofy and gospel-y, this Southern boy was an utter delight during his breakout performance Tuesday. McDonald was, at times, overwhelmed by the backing band, but his vocal tone is truly distinctive and his song choice of Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" was spot on. We remain undecided about those dance moves: wink-wink awkward or just awkward?
Casey Abrams
This could have gone so wrong. And if Simon Cowell were still around, we have a feeling he would have slammed Abrams for his hyper-growly take on Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You." But somehow, to us, it just worked. Abrams has a true artist's confidence in his own gifts, and even when he takes it too far — sometimes, dude, less really is more! — you still get the feeling he's in control and knows exactly what he's doing.
Good
Scotty McCreery
With that subterranean twang of his, the kid sounded like he could be a regular presence on county radio right now. That doesn't mean we'd want to listen, but he certainly fits a mold; we'll wait and see if he has any desire to break it.
Jacob Lusk
Though it was an old-fashioned performance and Lusk needs some work on his phrasing in the lower register, we have to applaud him for one of the more impressive performances of the evening. What a range he has! What's more, he's able to communicate genuine emotion when he sings. This wasn't, however, his breakout performance. We're waiting for more before bumping him up to the next level.
Satisfactory
Clint Jun Gamboa
What Randy Jackson got wrong about the singer's take on Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" is that karaoke isn't just about vocals; it's also about a feeling. Clint's performance just felt karaoke. There's no doubting he has pipes. What he's missing is artistry. The "Idol" stage practically swallowed him up in a swirl of pulsing primary-colored lights.
Jovany Barreto
My colleague Jim Cantiello is right on when he zings Barreto for falling far short in the charisma department. We should, though, give credit to Barreto for simply possessing a beautiful instrument. Close your eyes, and it was a much finer performance. Alas, for a TV show, that's not a good thing.
James Durbin
We don't get what all the fuss is about. Everything Durbin did onstage, from the schoolboy-rocker hand gestures to the scarf-tail-thingy that's supposed to make him stand out, came off as phony. He tried his hardest to project a rock-star image, which is the least rock-star thing anyone can do. At least we're glad he toned down the scream-singing.
Tim Halperin
Halperin sneaks into satisfactory territory, if only because we hardly remember his performance, so forgettable was his take on Rob Thomas' "Streetcorner Symphony." Uptempo tunes might not fall in his comfort zone, nor did he have the vocal power to compete with the band. Also: Demerits for encouraging the hand-waving clappers in the audience to burst into action.
Stefano Langone
Langone started off a hair behind the band and couldn't ever seem to catch up. Don't even get us started on how he chop-sueyed. Still, he's got plenty personality to carry him past those vocal missteps.
Unsatisfactory
Jordan Dorsey
He tried on a top 40 pop tune, and it just didn't fit. How could we even concentrate on his vocals while Dorsey was spastically shaking his body in the name of dancing like Usher? We have a feeling that Dorsey is due for a major comeback — when he returns to his R&B roots — yet we fear he may not get the chance after Tuesday's outing.
Brett Loewenstern
Oh, Brett! What can we say? Maybe don't dance next time? Maybe only shake those fiery locks once or twice? The smallness of Loewenstern's voice was unmistakable during the Doors' "Light My Fire." We don't think he's in danger of going home — the kid remains aw-shucks likable — but we can't say we're expecting better in coming weeks.
Robbie Rosen
Pitchy and somnolent, lacking in youthfulness and energy, Rosen's was one of the more surprising of the night in that it just wasn't very good. We were expecting more from him.

Last week, CBS and Warner Bros. made an announcement that everyone saw -- or should have seen -- coming: In light of Charlie Sheen's increasingly erratic behavior and off-the-wall radio interviews, the actor's hit sitcom Two and a Half Men was being pulled off the air for at least the remainder of the season.
Not surprisingly, Sheen did not take kindly to the news. After all, the guy makes a reported $1.8 million per episode, so CBS' decision not to film the last eight installments of the show's eighth season cost him roughly $14.4 million. Ouch. (Luckily, CBS will pay the Men crew -- who make significantly less than Charlie -- for four of the eight torpedoed episodes.)
In an interview with Today on Monday, Sheen insisted that it will be CBS that comes crawling back to him. "It's like everybody thinks I should be begging for my job back, and I'm just gonna forewarn them that it's everybody else that's going to be begging me for their job back," he said.
"I am a man of my word, so I will finish the TV show," he continued. "I'll even do season 10, but at this point, (because of) psychological distress -- oh my God -- it's $3 mil an episode, take it or leave it."
Sheen was joking (we think), but the question remains: Is there any scenario where Sheen and CBS can kiss and make up, put all of this behind them and get on with the series? And if so, would audiences still watch? In short: Should Sheen get his job back on Two and a Half Men?
We know what Sheen thinks. CBS honcho Les Moonves is less certain, judging by his comments at an investor conference in San Francisco on Tuesday. "Short term, it's actually financially a gainer for us," Moonves said of his decision to pull the plug on the rest of Two and a Half Men season 8 and instead run repeats of the show (which are drawing extremely solid ratings). "I'm not saying long term I want this to go on, or it's great," Moonves continued. "Going down the road, I don't know what's going to happen. I hope it's back. We'll see."
If Men does return, there's always the option of ditching Sheen in favor of another star. As a matter of fact, rumors are swirling that John Stamos may step in to fill the void. Don't worry, he wouldn't be playing Uncle Charlie, but rather a new character (Uncle Jesse perhaps?). Stamos is denying the chatter for now, while Sheen calls the rumors a "tragic joke." "If they do that," he told TMZ, "then they deserve their failures and the follies."
Tell us! What do you think? Should Charlie Sheen get his Two and a Half Men job back -- or is the show better off without him?

Thanks to eagle-eyed MTV.com readers, we present our second in-depth look at Gaga's brand-new clip.

We asked, and you delivered. On Monday, with the premiere of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" video, we compiled a pop-culture cheat sheet to highlight some of the clip's nods to film, fine art, fashion and more.
It was a pretty big task, so when we published that first story, we included a caveat: We were sure there were some references we missed, and we hoped you'd help point them out to us.
And, of course, you did. We received tons of tips from eagle-eyed Gaga fans, who analyzed each frame of "Born This Way" and came back with a list of references we can't believe we missed (actually, some of them were so fleeting that we can't believe you noticed them). And thanks to that response — and in the interest of being thorough — we're publishing a second cheat sheet, made up entirely of contributions from MTV.com readers.
We'd like to think this is about as complete a list as you can get, but, if there's still something that slipped through the cracks, let us know in the comments below. So, without further ado, alphabetized and cross-referenced for your perusing pleasure, here is our "Born This Way" pop-culture cheat sheet, part II:
Lotus Flowers: Not to be confused with the Radiohead single, these flowers hold immense significance in Eastern religion and philosophy, representing sexual purity, feminine grace and spiritual promise. Hindus closely associate the lotus with the divinities Lakshmi and Vishnu, and Buddhists believed that the flowers bloomed with each step of Gautama Buddha, who founded the religion. In "Born This Way," lotus flowers descend to Earth (spiraling, as one reader pointed out, "in line with the Golden Ratio") immediately following the birth of the starchild.
Michelangelo's "Last Judgment": Massive fresco inside the Sistine Chapel, it depicts the second coming of Christ and the apocalypse. Several readers noticed the similarities between the painting and the "Born This Way" scene where the "evil" child is born, as the souls of humans trapped below rise toward their Mother Monster for judgment.
Ovary: Female reproductive organ that — as one ultra-attentive Gaga fan pointed out — makes an appearance as a constellation at the 33-second mark of "Born This Way," just before Mother Monster begins to give birth.
"Rabbit Teeth": We caught hell from the Little Monsters for suggesting that, when Gaga donned a pair of gapped-front teeth at the conclusion of "Born This Way," she was doing so as an homage to Madonna. Instead, her fans said the costume was a nod to LG's own past, when she was called "rabbit teeth" by her classmates. Now, of course, it's safe to say she's having the last laugh.
Sinéad O'Connor: Irish singer perhaps best known for her iconic "Nothing Compares 2 U" video (and for ripping up a photo of the pope on "Saturday Night Live"). As several readers pointed out, in the same scene where Gaga shows off the gap in her teeth, she also sheds a single tear, an apparent nod to Connor's "2 U" clip.
Third Eye: In Hindu texts, the third eye is one of the chakras that makes up a person's energy field (or "etheric body") and serves as the gate to inner realms and higher consciousness. In New Age spirituality, the third eye usually symbolizes a state of enlightenment. Also associated with clairvoyance and out-of-body experiences. Most often, the third eye is located on the brow, though, in "Born This Way," Gaga's Mother Monster proudly displays hers on her chin.
Triangles: Basic geometric shape that also possesses a world of additional symbolism, from the spiritual (the Holy Trinity, the Star of David, etc.) to the sexual (a representation of the male and female sex organs) to the social (the pink triangle being used in the Holocaust to identify homosexual prisoners and later adapted by the LGBTQ movement to represent a "safe" zone). All of those meanings can easily be applied to "Born This Way" too.
