The twist of the night was the singers had no idea which judge picked which song for them until after the performance.

But it should come as no surprise that it was Nalley’s fellow Georgia native Luke Bryan who selected the Lovett School senior’s song.

The top seven will perform Sunday night for Idol’s annual “Disney Night.” You can watch and vote LIVE on Channel 2 starting at 8 p.m.
