Support Layla Spring for the American Idol Wildcard

After making it to the final 24 on American Idol, Layla Spring was eliminated Monday, April 9, after the 16 year old delivered a stellar performance with Sugarland.

“You don’t even begin to understand how hard it is to go toe-to-toe with Jennifer Nettles,” judge and country star Luke Bryan said, referring to the Sugarland singer, after the performance.

Pop music icon and judge Lionel Richie said, “You handled yourself as if you’d been there forever.”

While she exhibited on-stage poise, Spring was all fangirl meeting Nettles and Kristian Bush and earned high marks from the duo, with Nettles saying, “She’s a young kid with control of her instrument.”

After her performance of Martina McBride’s “A Broken Wing” Sunday night, the judges heaped praise on Spring for taking their advice and putting it to work.

“I’m so impressed with the way you’ve applied yourself, the way you’ve listened,” Katy Perry said. “If anything, you’ve grown leaps and bounds since we first met you.”
