hard for mixed race/black people to get places in thios country, My cousin is mixed race..he strugles to get decent jobs despite having more experience and higher grades then many of the other people who get the job instead of him.....there were about 7 black people in this competition and they have all been voted out and utter crap has managed to stay in when these black singers were much more talented than these idiot little white boy bands that are still in the competition...
she's the only mixed race person left in the competition next to utter garbage..and believe me I think the utter garbage are going to win because A. We have a very sexist voting public and B. We have a rather racist voting public..not that these people know they are being racist..they just dont seem to fall in love and vote for w the young black men/women like they do with the talentless good looking white men in the competition..even the white women dont survive the vote even if they are about 1 milion times better than the white men up against them
she chose to do the X Factor because she felt she should try one more time..she was about to not bother and just stick with secretary work..this girl can SING its her passion..she's not utter shit like Cassie whats her face who have no talent, pretty features and just want fame and fortune..
Leona sings because she likes to make people happy..my friend knows her and she says she's very genuine..
I've never heard of PJ Harvey and Kate bush..yet this whole country is buzzing about Leona because many of us have never seen anyone like this emerge from our country..even some major people in the US are spotting her.. [/B]
Let's look at the dynamics of your claim: You are complaining because mixed race and "black" people don't have a chance to become corporate puppets as much as other races? Surely this would be a plus.
Either way, it's nothing to do with race, and as said just above, people who watch X-Factor and vote on it can't be considered music fans or even smart people.
You obviously lack experience in music other than that which you see on TV and hear on the radio. Kate Bush is one of the most talented vocalists this country has ever produced, infact, there's probably not many vocalists -- popular or otherwise -- that can top her ability.
On that note; It doesn't matter if Leona is nice, polite or anything else. If she's not in this for the art, which she's not, then f*ck her and f*ck her "talent". If she refuses to use it on her own terms and through hard work and be satisfied with what she can do alone, she doesn't deserve praise.
