Season 22 of the reality singing competition will air on Sunday, with the winner crowned after months of star-studded talent competing for a $250,000 prize and a recording contract.
In the penultimate episode, Triston Harper and Emmy Russell finished in the top five but were eliminated from the competition. The pair visited Walt Disney World with Abbi Carter, Jack Blocker and Will Moseley, performing popular Disney songs.
According to ABC, Jon Bon Jovi will serve as a guest mentor for the episode, and Sunday’s episode will feature special performances from music legends and top stars.
