]]> American Idol Season 11 is well underway. As you probably already know, this season’s resident country girl is Skylar Laine and she is definitely one to watch. With a great set of country pipes and stellar performance skills, Skylar is going to be a serious contender for the Idol crown this year. She has “it” as they say.

Skylar has continued to impress me each week, and nails her performance every time she hits the stage. She is one of the most consistent contestants and her stage presence is second to none this season. Her country mixed with rock sound definitely suites her well, and fits in perfectly on current country radio.

Tonight on Idol, we will lose another contestant giving us the Top 9. I would be shocked if Skylar is in jeopardy after her fantastic rendition of Billy Joel’s “Shameless” last night.

Continue reading to catch up on Skylar’s performances from the last three weeks…

Top 10 – Billy Joel Night: “Shameless”

Top 11 – Songs From the Year You Were Born – Bonnie Raitt: “Love Sneakin’ Up On You”

Top 13 – Whitney Houston Night: “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”

 

Watch American Idol on Wednesdays at 8/7c and tune in for the results on Thursdays at 8/7c.
