But if you think this means Laine is happy to leave the show, think again. “I’m sad, but I just want to go home. I want to go home to my family, my friends,” Skylar said. “I don’t have any regrets from this whole experience. I’ve shown what kind of artist I want to be, I’ve shown who I am, and I know what kind of album I want to make in the future if I get the chance.”

What words of advice did the judges have for Laine after her ouster? “Jennifer didn’t say much to me at the end, she just said ‘I’ll see you later,’: Skylar said, adding, “but then Steven – Steven’s a fan of mine, I really love Steven — [he] and Randy both told me I’m going to have a long career hopefully.”
