The "American Idol" Season 22 contestant pool is officially down to its Top 3.
With the "Idol" champion's crowning only a week away, on Sunday night it was time to whittle down the finalists in the penultimate audience vote. Graciously, the Disney-owned network also let the Top 5 have some family fun at the Walt Disney Resort with their moms and provide some additional free advertising for the House of Mouse before they were potentially sent home.
Yes, we've made it to Disney week, and the five finalists sang songs from the Disney, Pixar and Marvel repertoire of original and licensed music to create some brand synergy and make viewers nostalgic about the movies they couldn't stop re-watching as children. Judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan also got in on the fun, with the ever-theatrical Perry in full Cinderella get-up, Gus Gus accompaniment and all.
Abi Carter, Emmy Russell, Jack Blocker, Triston Harper and Will Moseley took the stage with two songs each to convince America to take them to the top three, and as the two-hour episode concluded two beloved contestants were sent home.
Here's what everyone performed and who was eliminated in Episode 17.
