You can now put your box of tissues away, as 'American Idol' is officially done with its season 17 auditions. On Monday, the reality TV competition series aired its fifth episode, which was also the last of the audition rounds. The series started their new journey to find the next singing sensation with Ryan Seacrest returning as host yet again in its 17th season along with judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.

And while we wait to see what happens and how many of our favorite contestants make it through, here are three performances that stood out among the rest in the last set of auditions, winning the golden ticket to Hollywood.
