Finale,
Sabra Johnson
America voted Sabra Johnson as this season’s favorite on So You Think You Can Dance which was revealed in last night’s finale episode. The 2-hour results show featured the favorite performances of the judges. Two of my favorite Sabra performances were reprised – her slow hip-hop with Dominic (aka D-Trix) and the jazz-contemporary with fellow top 4 dancer Neil.
The dancer is not new to television and appeared in Disney’s pop-culture hit High School Musical whose sequel hits the screens tonight. Sabra appears in “Status Quo” in a prominent “cameo” as one of the skaters.
On Wednesday’s episode (8/15), host Cat Deeley interviewed the top 4 finalists one-on-one and Sabra shared more about her personal feelings on the competition. (See interview in this post.)
Sabra quotes:

“I feel ridiculous,” [Sabra] told PEOPLE moments after her win Thursday night.
“It’s so overwhelming and so surreal just to think that, first of all, I’m a girl, and, second of all, I’m from this little, tiny town in the middle of nowhere and I didn’t know anything coming into this, honestly … it’s amazing.”
‘So You Think You Can Dance’ names winner on CNN.com:
“I can’t take the smile off my face, and it’s hurting so bad,” the 20-year-old from Roy, Utah, told The Associated Press after learning she won Thursday.
