Introduced during American Idol season 20, the American Idol Judges' Song Contest is an extraordinary night in which the judges, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan each choose a song for a contestant to sing. The finalist has to choose a song from that list and guess which judge selected it. That judge then receives a point. Whichever judge has the most points at the end of the episode wins. In past seasons, the Judges' Song Contest has been a huge success because Lionel, Katy, and Luke get to know the contestants so well, and they give them song choices that help them thrive.

American Idol theme nights have always made the show exciting. Disney Night in particular has become one of the most beloved ever because of the music and Katy's costumes, which have included Snow White, Ursula, Mrs. Jumbo, Tinker Bell, Ariel, and Elastigirl. It'll be very exciting to see who Katy chooses for her final costume. Perhaps Lionel and Luke will finally join in the fun and wear costumes too since it's their last time judging Disney Night with Katy. American Idol season 22 has some of the most talented singers the show has ever seen, so it'll be thrilling to hear their song choices for these awesome theme nights.

American Idol season 22 airs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
