Each of the five finalists performed twice. The first performance was a solo performance with Dancing With the Stars celebrities working in the background.

The second found each singer paired with a Season 5 American Idol finalist. Taylor Hicks was the biggest name to return but country fans were dying to hear from Pickler, who's been mostly absent from stages and the spotlight since the 2023 death of her husband.

She didn't disappoint.

Here is a full list of finalist performances:

Keyla Richardson: Ike and Tina Turner, “River Deep - Mountain Hight”
Chris Tungseth: Noah Kahan, “Northern Attitude”
Braden Rumfelt: Teddy Swims, “Lose Control”
Hannah Harper: Peggy Lee, “Fever”
Jordan McCullough: Leona Lewis, “Footprints In the Sand”
Keyla Richardson and Taylor Hicks: Stevie Wonder, “Living for the City”
Chris Tungseth and Bucky Covington: Garth Brooks, “The Thunder Rolls”
Braden Rumfelt and Paris Jackson: Queen, “The Show Must Go On”
Hannah Harper and Kellie Pickler: Martina McBride, “Broken Wing”
Jordan McCullough and Elliott Yamin: “A Song for You”

Kellie Pickler Returns To American Idol?

Pickler's return to Idol was full circle as she sang one of the two songs she used to audition, Martina McBride's "Broken Wing." Harper took lead but Pickler's part's carried extra weight with all she's been through. The crowd and three judges (including Paula Abdul!) loved it.

McCullough's cover of Leona Lewis was also tremendous as was Richardson's two performances. The panel continued to ask for more from Braden Rumfelt while the admired the power and comfort of Chris Tungseth.

As always, America voted in the end.

Who Went Home on American Idol?
