On last night's American Idol on FOX, the Top 9 took on musical legends John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles this week. While it was quite surprising that several of the young contestants were unaware of the large Beatles songbook, it was even more impressive how they took the songs and made them their own. Check out highlight performances from last night's show below!

Starting off the night, Kree Harrison performs the classic "With A Little Help From My Friends". Will Kree get "help" from America in the form of votes?

Having never heard of the Beatles song, "Let It Be" until this week, Burnell Taylor was at a bit of a disadvantage. Despite this, will his performance good enough for America to vote for the New Orleans, native?

Amber Holcomb steps to center stage to perform "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles. How does her rendition stand out from the rest of the pack?

It was Candice Glover's time to impress the judges and America with her rendition of The Beatles' "Come Together." Will American vote for her to continue on in the competition?

Lazaro Arbos continues his inspiring run on Idol with his rendition of The Beatles' "In My Life." What did the judges have to say about Lazaro's performance?

Paul Jolley tries to punch his ticket to the Top 8 with his performance of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby." Will America vote for Paul Jolley to continue on in the competition?

Angie Miller performs the Beatles classic, "Yesterday" for our judges and the nation. Will America send her through to the Top 8?

Chicago native Devin Velez has his shot to sing for your vote with his version of The Beatles' "The Long And Winding Road." Will Devin continue on in the competition, or does his Idol "road" end here?

Closing out a night of Beatles performances, Janelle Arthur offers her rendition of "I Will." Will America vote in her favor?
