It doesn't seem to be that dire. Here's an article with comments from 19: The Associated Press: Vocal problems force Jordin Sparks to miss Keys tour start
She didn't perform because she's currently performing in The Color Purple on Broadway, as Ryan mentioned during the show. Kimberley? What has she done since then? Not enough to warrant a finale appearance, I would think.
