Nate and Caitlyn were the most talented in their respective genres to not get through, marketable, and obviously sabotaged. Niall was not so sabotaged, still,exceptional.Peyton was also so good that it didn't matter what category or genre, he flat out deserved to be through.I would have liked to hear Anelisa and James again.Christian was one of my least favorites until Judges Houses, where he showed real ability and I'd have been interested to hear him again, too.
They are the most significant losses, though not the only ones who would have been able to gain fans and keep interest if allowed to show what they can do.
Still, the top 12 are not "shit".They deserve a chance. I am looking forward to at least half, really like a few, and only plan to ignore Unfunny G .
