The latest episode of ‘American Idol’ has left fans on the edge of their seats as two contestants were eliminated, narrowing down the competition to the Top 3 finalists. The show, now in its 22nd season, is gearing up for the highly anticipated crowning of the next ‘Idol’ champion.
During Disney week, the remaining five contestants – Abi Carter, Emmy Russell, Jack Blocker, Triston Harper, and Will Moseley – took the stage to perform songs from the Disney, Pixar, and Marvel catalog. The judges, including Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan, also joined in on the fun, with Perry dazzling in a Cinderella-inspired outfit.
Each contestant delivered two performances in a bid to win over the audience and secure a spot in the Top 3. However, as the episode came to a close, it was revealed that Emmy Russell and Triston Harper would be the two contestants sent home.
Here’s a recap of the songs performed by the Top 5 contestants:
