Five contestants remain but only one will be named the "American Idol."
The Season 22 of the reality singing competition will air Sunday and crown a winner after months of hefty talent vying for the $250,000 cash prize and recording contract.
In the penultimate episode, Triston Harper and Emmy Russell, were eliminated from the competition after making the top five. The two joined Abi Carter, Jack Blocker, and Will Moseley to Walt Disney World and delivered their takes on popular Disney songs.
Jon Bon Jovi will serve as the episode's guest mentor and be among the special performances from music legends and top stars in Sunday's episode, according to ABC.
Since it premiered in 2002, "American Idol" has launched the career of the world's most iconic singers from Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Adam Lambert to its first winner Kelly Clarkson.
