American Idol's season 15 top eight contestants won't perform until later tonight (March 4), but their song choices have already leaked online.
Since the two contestants will be sent packing before even getting the chance to sing have not been leaked, all 10 song choices for the remaining singers have arrived online thanks to TV Line. Thankfully, there is no Ed Sheeran on this list (who has been over-played by both Lee Jean and Mackenzie Bourg), but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of overdone song choices.
Bourg, who is proving to be a fan of reliable Idol picks is going with what is sure to be a unique arrangement of Whitney Houston's classic "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)."
Dalton Rapattoni, La'Porsha Renae and Sonika Vaid are also going with some karaoke favorites. Rapattoni, who has made a name for himself in this competition with wholly original takes on pop songs, is tackling Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive," which has been an Idol audition and Hollywood Week staple since its release. Renae is set to perform Beyoncé's "Halo," in what is sure to be another show-stopping moment. And, after breaking out last week with her performance of "Bring Me to Life," Vaid is going with a former Idol winner's biggest hit, Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone."
The other contestants are comfortably settling into what has worked for them in the past. Avalon Young picked another male-led R&B modern hit, Olivia Rox is settling into her pop-rock groove and Tristan McIntosh is continuing to reach for country music stardom with one of her genre's classics.
