Its very disappointing that Sabrina is not going to be a part of this year's Top 12. In reflecting on the past five seasons of the show, I think Sabrina is probably the most talented contestant to get booted in the semifinals. Season 1's Angela Peel just missed the cut, but she would likely not made much of an impression with both Tamyra and Kelly around. The fact that both Season 2 and Season 3 had 4 Wildcard spots ensured that no one too deserving missed out on a spot in the finals. Nikko Smith missed the cut in Season 5, but he ended up a finalist anyways when Mario Vasquez dropped out of the competition. And while Ayla Brown or Gedeon McKinney were arguably as good as Melissa McGhee or Kevin Covais, neither possessed the talent and stage presence of Sabrina Sloan. 'Tis a shame.
