Sabrina and Colton

wow thank you Jake for your sweet words to Sabrina, and a happy new year to you and Owoaje as well :)

Rylan: i'm joined by Sabrina Salerno, did you love this semi final

Sabrina: i loved performing these 3 songs, so thank you Jake for Edge of Glory i really love that song

Rylan: so what is your winner single if you are in the final

Sabrina: a Original song called Erase Rewind, it's eurodance pop, happy and upbeat, which hopefully i can perform at the final

Rylan: fingers crossed on that, and who do you like from the other acts

Sabrina: Lydia and Colton, they are also true passionate performers like me, Laura is a great soul singer, but she lacks that true fun performer, which i can give her some advice with i think

Rylan: good luck for the results and receiving Owoaje's feedback as well, hope he's positive about you

Sabrina: thank you

I think we should have 5 acts in the final
