Here's what to know about Sunday night's American Idol and who made the Top 5:
Did Emmy Russell make 'American Idol' Top 5?
Yes, Emmy Russell beat out Mckenna Breinholt and Julia Gagnon as the last name to advance.
Russell put her own unique twist on Walk The Moon's "Shut Up And Dance," and the judges gave her a standing ovation.
Perry asked, "Were you going to get up and walk around? What happened?"
"I just kind of changed my mind," Russell smirked. "My nerves get nervous."
The judges didn't find those nerves taking away from her performance during Sunday night's first song.
"You were the most confident I've seen you even if it was from a profile," Perry said. "It was the most confident and the best sounding you've ever sounded. "Chill bumps everywhere."
Bryan recalled how they couldn't hear Russell from 10 or 15 feet away durin her audition, and echoed Perry's senitments.
Lionel Richie loved the performance: "If you had any nerves, we couldn't see it. Your confidence is on point. You're stepping into that lane we call superstar."
The second song was Adele's "Water Under The Bridge" and Perry thought Russell never sounded better than tonight.
"I think you got the memo," Perry said.
Richie raved over Russell once again.
"A little sultry tonight. A little sassy," Lionel Richie said. "What I'm saying is, you are standing in your light. That's very, very cool. Welcome aboard."

Verse 1
Haven't eaten in daysGod, I hate how You made me So scared to confess Been so hard to undress lately These oversized t-shirts, don't work like they used to Sleeping on scales, it's just what I'm used to Haven't eaten in days God, I hate how You made me (God, I hate how You made) I get asked on a dateHaven't eaten in days
Chorus
So I took a trip around the world To hold the hands of orphan girls Saw the war, felt the pain And miracles in His name But I just wanna be I just wanna be Skinny So I took a trip around the world
Verse 2
I get asked on a date Parents think that I'm great They call mе a keeper But I don't believе them And I don't believe you Professional runner
Chorus
It's funny what people say It's been with me since seventh grade You're a pretty face, just drop the weight So at my birthday party, I skipped the cake'Cause And I just wanna be (I just wanna be) And I just wanna be (I just wanna be) And I just wanna be (Skinny, skinny) Skinny, skinny, skinny (Skinny) It's funny what people say
Bridge
Why am I in love With a mirror that says You're not enough? (You're not enough) Why am I in love (Am I in love) With a mirror that says (That says) You won't measure up? No, you're not my friend You're making me sick and I'm breaking up withSkinny You're a liar (You're a liar) You're a liar for saying that I'll never be Pretty, pretty 'Cause I'm not skinny, skinny Oh-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah
