It was an unfortunate night for Skylar Laine on American Idol.

The 18-year-old country rocker, who imbued Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son and Dusty Springfield's Say You Love Me with her twangy sensibilities on Wednesday's show was revealed to have received the fewest viewer votes Thursday on the Fox singing contest.

Laine was joined at the bottom by Hollie Cavanagh, the 18-year-old balladeer opened Wednesday's installment with a pop-infused take on Ike and Tina Turner's River Deep Mountain High, and later dialed it down with the Leona Lewis hit Bleeding Love.

"They both sang their faces off last night," said Idol judge Randy Jackson.

The other singers remaining in the competition are booming 20-year-old gospel singer Joshua Ledet, bluesy 21-year-old pawn shop worker Phillip Phillips and budding 16-year-old pop diva Jessica Sanchez.

The four remaining finalists will return to the stage next week. - AP
