Eliminated Idol contestant, Skylar Laine begins her media tour today on Live! With Kelly.  She performed Kellie Pickler’s “Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You”  before a short interview with Kelly and co-host Michael Strahan.

While Skylar’s parents were always encouraging her to sing, her cousins were a different story. “My cousins, who were same age were always…shut up Skylar,” she laughed.

The best piece of advice she got on the show was to always stay true to who she was as an artist.

Watch Skylar’s performance below.

    Gonna miss Sklar…..wish she had performed something else though. Not bad at all though. I just prefer more upbeat sassy Skylar.

    The girl has quite a holler on her. 
    She might accumulate a small country following.

    My favorite song by her! I don’t think the “cheery-light” piano rendition did the song or her voice justice however.

    These small stages must kill her like a trapped lion.  I thought parts of it were pleasent parts got a lilttle shrill but I liked it overall better then I usually like her stuff.  Goodluck to her I know she has a lot of fans and hopefully she can parlee that into a career.

    Kellie Pickler who? Skylar nailed it! For sure a loss to the show, wish a great career for her, will be watching!

    The country music audience has been good to Idol contestants and Skylar does have the distinction of kind of being a shocking elimination so who knows. I certainly can’t think of another country singer sent home prematurely.

    It’s pretty hard to sing anything other than a ballad on this show, because there’s just the piano and a small stage.  Skylar is definitely right – be yourself and not what others want you to be.  I’m going to miss seeing her every week and wish her the best.

    I also prefer upbeat sassy Skylar too but this was one of my favorite performances from her while she was on the show. 

    Skylar is a pro at knowing how to conduct herself during an interview.  She has done very well with her interviews since her elimination.  I can’t wait to see her interview with Slezak which it comes out.

    Thanks mj!

    See you at the finale, my little spitefire. Wish you were still on the show. I am still so sad I won’t see her perform this week :(

    I am still calling it right now… Skylar will be the only one from this season of Idol who we will still be hearing from 3 years from now. She will sell more than any of these pretenders left standing. I love Kellie Pickler, but this girl is going to be bigger than Kellie was.

    Skylar is the most marketable idol of this season. Time will tell.  I think she will have big long-term success as a country artist.
