X Factor: Does Louis have racial issues?

[nat_84]

Does anyone think Louis has some racial issues...?

I think 'The Brothers' were rejected on Saturday becasue he chose '4sure' over them But as a lot of people on this site have pointed out 'The Brothers' were (in my opinion( better vocally than i'd say 'The Unconventionals' and 'Eton Road'.

Do you think he only wanted one black vocal group?

Also, in the previous series of the X Factor, he chose that horrific Irish girl group, who image wise and talent wise were were awful over the pretty, young black girl Maria (i think!!).

Not sure if i've got my facts totally right over that one - but i do know he kept the Irish Girl band in when it was obvious they were by far the worst.

Not sure where your question is leading , you are asking if he has racial issues , then the only reasons that you provide are simply those based on personal views on so called talent.I think that your question is actually quite distasteful ...x

Why is it distasteful? Its a question..lts not offensive.
would it be to anyones surpise if Louis only wanted one black group in his final 4?

All you had to say was "no, i don't think they weren't picked because of their race".....x

[chazza]

No I don't think he has racial issues at all, he supports all his acts equally

i do think his choices were a bit predictable. i thought that both the black groups were good, but if he kept both in then people may say hes unfair by having no white talent. and i think he kept the unconventionals as he needed some girls in the final, and frankly both the girl only groups didnt deserve to be through. i guess whatever he picked someone would complain about it.

im going to complain as all three judges are obviously anti welsh as they havn't chosen one welsh act, and what about a chinese act, or an indian act - see where im going with this - its a competition not only based on vocal quality but also saleability i.e. which act would win them the competition and make them most money. stop reading too much into this - not all opinions are based on race.

I think he just needs a wide range of groups "someone for everyone" so he did pick a range, I wanted the brothers to go through so that the other two, who were part of the original group, would be so jealous.

I agree about the Conways they were terrible but he kept them in cos he knew them and they were Irish, Maria didn't stand a chance

[Memore]

I would say Louis's choices are regional rather than colour based as he always talks about Irish Scotland and Liverpool as he knows that those places really back their own - He never mentioned for example that Nicholas in last series was from London - Macdonalds only in because they have whole of Scotland voting for them rest of UK doesnt bother and votes on talent if they were English they would be out the competition if they ever got in in the first place thats my opinion I dont think he is racist. He is canny! You watch if he doesnt mention Liverpool and Scotland everytime he introduces them he did same with Conways and he knew them from Ireland before so was biased
