The top 4 finalists opened the show with a performance of a song that peaked at #4 in 1966 - California Dreamin by The Mamas and The Papas. Given the theme for the week, this was the perfect song to allow Jessica and Hollie to show off their wonderful voices and impressive vocal range. For the next hour, they had to wait patiently to find out if they would be moving on in the competition....
The first distraction came from the Season 7 Miss American Idol winner, David Cook. He performed his latest single called The Last Song I'll Write For You. It was a simple little soft-rock number that didn't leave much of an impression.
Then the finalists got a chance to see Jennifer Lopez get up from behind the judges table and perform her current dance pop hit song, Dance Again. For the past two years in a row now that Jennifer has been on American Idol, she has been able to get herself back on the radio with hit songs and back on the charts. This has turned out to be a very good career move for her.
In the last minutes of the show it was finally revealed that the Season 11 top three finalists are: Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet and Phillip Phillips. Unfortunately that means that the lovely and talented Hollie Cavanagh has joined the list of finalists who have been eliminated too soon from the competition. As the show came to close she performed her version of The Climb and demonstrated that vocally she is simply outstanding. She is such a sweet and attractive young woman and definitely has potential to have a career in the music business someday.
