American Idol2025 is down to its Top 7 contenders for the title, and tonight, the competition continues with "Disney Night," during which each artist will sing a song from the Disney songbook and another dedicated to a special woman in their life for Mother's Day. Helping them prepare was special guestLin-Manuel Miranda, who was nominated for two original song Oscars for Disney movies: "Dos Oruguitas" fromEncantoand "How Far I'll Go" fromMoana, so he was the perfect choice for the task. While judgesCarrie Underwood,Lionel RichieandLuke Bryanno longer have a say in who progresses in the singing competition, they are on hand to critique the singers and help guide America in deciding who is worthy of going through. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Gabby SamoneMattie Pruitt Breanna NixJamal RobertsJohn FosterSlater NalleyThunderstorm Artis Here's how the night broke down: Song:"How Far Will I Go" fromMoana Lionel said:"I got to tell you, I don't know whether I'm spoiled.
