American Idol: Best from the Top 8 [MP3s]

It's a slow day for Entertainment so I've decided to make an American Idol: Best from the Top 8 post listing what I think were the absolute best performances from the last standing eight contestants. I added the YouTube links to the live performances and I've also added the full studio-version MP3, so click on the song's title to download the contestant's songs you'd like. Here we go!
