On Sunday night, the “American Idol” Top 5 contestants took the Idol stage twice to perform fan-favorite Disney hits in hopes of making it to the season finale.

At the end of the night, America voted Megan, Colin and Iam to next week’s season finale, where one contestant will ultimately be crowned the next “American Idol.”

Sara Bareilles opened the show with a special rendition of the “Disney100” song “When You Wish Upon a Star.” From Sleeping Beauty Castle at the Disneyland Resort in California, Halle Bailey performed “Part of Your World” from Disney’s upcoming “The Little Mermaid,” in theaters May 26. Meanwhile, Sofia Carson also joined from the “Happiest Place on Earth,” where she mentored the Top 5 contestants.
