After talking about "Bruno" in the Oscars 2022, American Idol finally talked about everyone's favorite Madrigal uncle to kickstart this week's "Disney Night."
Nearing the finals, American Idol Season 20 Top 10 contestants started off the magical "Disney Night" with the anthem of the past few months - "We Don't Talk About Bruno."
Each Top 10 contestant was given a chance to highlight their singing prowess as they channel their own respective Madrigal characters.
American Idol Top 10 Contestants Talked About 'Bruno' With Dolores and Camilo Madrigal
To make the performance even more magical, American Idol invited two Madrigals to sing their parts in the worldwide hit.
Reprising their roles as the superpowered siblings Dolores and Camilo Madrigal, Adassa and Rhenzy Feliz took over the stage and sang with the "Idol" contestants about their Uncle Bruno.
Contrary to the iconic Isabela Madrigal solo part, Idol fan favorites Fritz Hager and Jay dominated the verse channeling their inner Madrigals.
At the end of the song, everyone broke into a full-blown madrigal (no pun intended) to cap off the enchanting number.
In the comments section, both "American Idol" and "Encanto" fans are thrilled about the live rendition of the Billboard chart-topping hit.
Notably, fans are more pleased with the "Idol" version compared to the Oscars version in which Megan Thee Stallion freestyled a rap verse in between.
For some, the most recent cover paid more homage to the original as the entire song was performed without any cuts. On the Oscars version, the complaining mob and Isabela's solo were visibly cut and were replaced with Megan's verse.
American Idol Top 10 Disney Night Performances
The "Idol" hopefuls performed classic Disney hits to ensure their spots on next week's Top 7 live sing-offs.
Take a peek at this week's performances.
Despite the magical Disney night, three "Idol" hopefuls did not make it to the next stage of the competition.
Lady K, Emyrson Flora, and Mike Parker were eliminated this week.
Aside from the performances, judge Katy Perry surprised everyone two times last evening.
After coming out dressed as Disney Princess Ariel the Little Mermaid, Perry fell out of his chair off-cam while host Ryan Seacrest delivered his spiels.
The insane moment prompted what fans called a "sibling laugh" from fellow "Idol" judge Luke Bryan who laughed out loud first at the popstar before helping her get up.
"American Idol Season 20" airs every Sunday and Monday at 8:00 p.m. PT on ABC.
