Round one on last night's "American Idol" was "California Dreamin"- songs either about California or by artists from the Golden State.

Phillip Phillips (my fav) song a low key version of CCR's Have You Ever Seen The Rain.

Hollie Cavanagh sang Journey's "Faithfully." Jennifer Lopez was on the verge of tears. I thought it was just OK.. Maybe I'm so use to the original version...

Joshua Ledet sang Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up"  

Jessica Sanchez   performed Etta James' '"Steal Away," a vocal that Randy called "ridiculous."

In my opinion the big hit of the night was Joshua Ledet's version of James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World."  The judges loved it and so did I!
