The journey may have hit a bump in the road for Bakersfield's Dillon James, but his musical quest is far from over.
James finished in the Top 5 on this season of "American Idol" a spot no other Bakersfield native has ever reached.
While he didn't finish as the American Idol, there's still a chance for him to get in one more national television performance.
Polls opened Monday morning for the Kelly and Ryan "American Idol Encore".
