Past years, it's been three songs -- one repeat, one "open choice", and one the show picks. For the last couple of years, the latter was from the songwriting contest -- last year they changed it slightly to allow each contestant to choose from one of the 10 runner-ups to the contest winning song.
All the changes they're making this year, though, makes using previous years as a guide somewhat moot.
