The contestants chose from a long list of songs ranging from country’s “Hick Town,” pop’s “Pokerface” to rock’s “Use Somebody.”
Some contestants sang in large groups, such as Alpha Sigma Alpha, with “Before He Cheats.”
Between each performance, pop culture questions were asked to the audience for fun facts.
The 26 contestants were divided to the top six, then off to the top three.
