'American Idol' 2012 notes: Skylar Laine and Heejun Han

With the "American Idol" live shows officially kicking off Tuesday with the top 13 guys (which is going to include one person being brought back), we are starting to hear some more random quotes from contestants.

  • First, country singer Skylar Laine tells "Entertainment Tonight" that her musical idols include Waylon Jennings and Miranda Lambert -- and with that, we should expect more country-rock from her than the pop-country of Carrie Underwood and Lauren Alaina.
  • Meanwhile, Heejun Han is apparently striking out with the ladies from last season already. He has tried over the past 24 hours to get both the numbers of Pia Toscano and Haley Reinhart on Twitter, but has since been denied (at least by Casey Abrams). The good news? We don't really think Heejun is that serious.
