Next week American Idol‘s Top 4 song theme is “California Dreamin”. This could mean artists born in California or songs about California. Songs from The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas and The Eagles come to mind, but artists like Etta James, Josh Groban, Fergie, Dwight Yokam, Cher and more were born in California.

I would love to hear Joshua do Etta James “I’d Rather Go Blind” or “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man”. The song choices will be the key to who goes forward.

Each contestant will sing two songs, but the second theme as of this post hasn’t been announced yet. Jennifer Lopez and David Cook are scheduled to perform on next week’s results show on Thusday May 10. Cook will perform a brand new single called “The Last Song I’ll Write for You,” and Lopez will give a pre-taped performance.

See the press release:

Tonight, the Top Four Finalists were revealed – Hollie Cavanagh, Joshua Ledet, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. One of them will be crowned the next AMERICAN IDOL! After America cast a season-high of nearly 60 million votes for their favorite finalists, it also was revealed tonight that Skylar Laine had received the fewest number of votes and was eliminated from the competition.

With only three performance shows left in the season, tune in next week, Wednesday, May 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), when the Top Four return to the IDOL stage to sing for America’s votes on a “California Dreamin’”– themed performance show.

Don’t miss the live results show the following night, Thursday, May 10 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), when the Top Three finalists are announced and get set for their hometown visits to see family, friends and fans. In addition, global superstar and AMERICAN IDOL judge, Jennifer Lopez, will perform her hit new song “Dance Again.” Season Seven AMERICAN IDOL winner David Cook also returns to the IDOL stage to perform “The Last Song I’ll Write For You.”
