American Idol returns this weekend after taking a week off for the Oscars, and the competition is heating up. The Season 19 field is down to 10 contestants, including one of the Season 18 finalists who performed last week. During Sunday’s episode, the singers will perform a selection of Disney songs, including “Circle of Life,” “Into the Unknown” and “When You Wish Upon a Star.”

The new episode airs live coast-to-coast, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC, from Walt Disney World in Orlando. At the start of the episode, host Ryan Seacrest will announce the winner of the “Comeback” competition, which saw 10 Season 18 finalists vie for another chance at their American Idol dreams. Then, the 10 contestants will have a one-on-one session with the celebrity mentor and Disney superfan John Stamos before they perform a classic Disney song. In the end, the Top 7 singers will be announced.
