Skylar Lane is sent home from American Idol……
She sings a Country Music song going out…..
Does it really matter that Phillip Phillips has a girlfriend? Will Joshua Ledet sell records with that amazing voice of his? Is Hollie Cavanagh staging a comeback? Did it matter that Jessica Sanchez belted “Proud Mary” in a too-tight dress? Is Skylar Laine winning as many hearts as Jennifer Lopez says she is?
Here’s how the results played out on tonight’s American Idol:

Joshua: Safe! Duh!
Phillip: No one is holding the girlfriend thing against him. Safe!
Jessica: For better or worse, the fans obviously didn’t mind that the 16-year-old was dressed like a 25-year-old last night.
Hollie and Skylar: They landed in the bottom two for the umpteenth time. Once again, Jimmy Iovine‘s astute but ultimately unheeded observations included that Phillip should have been in the bottom two and that Hollie did a better Tina Turner than Jessica did.
Jimmy did say, however, that Skylar—as fiery and self-possessed as she already was—needed to do more to get this competition in the bag.
Alas, she won’t have the chance, because she went home tonight.
As the judges gave her a standing ovation, Skylar and Hollie shared a long, half-sad, half-relieved hug in front of Ryan Seacrest.
“Rock it out,” the departing hopeful told Hollie, who nodded.

WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I voted for SL for an hour straight LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..
I know that WHEN (NOT IF) her cd is released in late 2013 I will be buying it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now my only hope is Joshua………
Dear John Q Public~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PLEASE SEND PHILLIP HOME NEXT WEEK!
An HOUR Straight?????
No Jessica eh Amy?
America got it wrong, SKYLAR LANE is the American Idol. I will try to be patiant and wait for her CD, she definatly has a future a head of her. I agree with AmyMarie,
SEND PHILIP HOME NEXT WEEK, the faces he makes when he sings ,looks like he’s in pain, put him out of his misery.
I DO see that there is a consorted effort to politic Phillip OUT of the Idol line up…..
Tsk..tsk…tsk…..
Politics EVERWHERE!
I don’t pay any attention to this,
But I might have voted for her.
She’s the most attractive looking of the bunch.
Anyone notice that you never hear from the winners after they take the crown?
Then Hollie is probably next….
The winners just go out and make $$$
Yup mac….
My wife when she was watching thought she was good but lost it in the last few….
She STILL won’t watch after the Jessica thing….
Yea.. guess the show lost many after that.. but guess J-Lo wanted the latina..
Sidepoint; I’m wondering a bit about the format – after watching X-factor. They chop off half the contestants each round – a bit too rough maybe, but 13 rounds in the finals in Idol is a long wait.
Mac, I tend to believe that last year’s Idol winner, Scotty McQueery is half Latino.
If Jessica were to pull this one off this year (I still do NOT see her winning), she would be the first Latina to win it and possibly the 2nd in a row.
mac…
I haven’t seen Simon’s new one ….
13 rounds….
Whew….
Yes way toooooo long
Such a BIG voice from a tiny girl….
Celine Dionish…
James B, I’m sticking with my pick that the guys somehow do it again for the 5th consecutive year on American Idol and this is about to turn into the SEC conference (see how they’ve won the last 6 national championships in college football).
You’ve been spot on in the past CD…
But I hope you’re wrong this time…
Oh, sorry james, I meant “The Voice”..!
XFactor wasn’t for me.. too much bling.. and too big stage and professional from start. Most folks had toured for years and many records behind them already.
Idol has the charm of big dreams and all that…
Ah, that’s right CD – I remember J-Lo going on about the latin vibes she detected in Scotty…!
CD,
speaking about boys and voting – in The Voice this week there were four pair of boy/girl left – and in three of them the girls went home.
W arguably a LOT more quality in voice and artistic terms – but hey…. guys don’t vote that much.
and Beniffer mac…..
you got a link mac?
For which one – the Voice?
Yup…
This has the best pic – and shortest wrapup:

And seems it’s all over next week, last four perform, and then we’ll have it.
thanks mac!
