American Idol audiences officially whittled down the top eight contestants to just five on Sunday night’s episode of the 21st season of the ABC singing competition.
But due to judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie’s trip to England to perform at King Charles III’s coronation, Disney Night will not air until next Sunday (instead of this Monday).
The top five proudly posed together while wearing various hats and Minnie ear headbands from the theme park/resort Disneyland in Anaheim, which is where the next episode will tape with mentor, Descendants star Sofia Carson.
Each performer had to cover songs by guest judges seven-time Grammy winner Alanis Morissette and four-time Grammy winner Ed Sheeran.
Fans voted for Colin Stough – an 18-year-old HVAC technician from Gattman, MS – following his renditions of Alanis’ 1995 hit Hand in My Pocket and Ed’s 2017 song Dive.
