Hollie Cavanagh did the impossible and ended up in the Top 4 on ‘American Idol‘ and guess what? She is not about to let go. She had a chance last year and didn’t get through. Now she’s got a chance to take it all the way. Will her Journey end with Journey? Can she make us love her with Bonnie Raitt?
