"American Idol" is hoping to find good times in New Orleans, with big-smiling Jordan Dorsey, who teaches kids piano, up first.

I like him right away. He says he's a "stern" teacher. One of his kids says "he's an excellent teacher."

Sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow," with a little jazzy feel and some finger snaps. Totally in control, it's niiiice.

"I have goose pimples all over my body" says Jennifer Lopez. They all love him.

"Life-changing, I never expected this," he says. He's really good.
