The search for the next American Idol continued Monday night, with a surprising twist.
For the first time ever, the show had a judge’s song contest, which meant that Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie each chose one of three songs for each contestant. The contestant then picked and performed one of those songs without knowing which judge submitted it, and then guessed which judge it wast. The judge whose song got chosen the most would be declared the winner. Later in the show, it was revealed that this judge would also have the ability to save one contestant from elimination.
After everyone took the stage, the tally revealed that Luke and Katy tied as the winners of the judge’s song contest. When America’s votes left Lady K and Tristen Gressett in the bottom two, Katy and Luke used their powers to advance Lady K into the Top 10.
Here’s the official American Idol season 20 Top 10.
