My theory is that Jedwood are actually Louis children, and their natural mother is Mary. For complex reasons (which I can't manage to invent right now) they were raised by the couple they believe to be their parents.

It always seems to me that the black kids on the X-Factor have to be twice as good as the white ones to get through. Anastasia and that mixed race lady in the older group had the most incredible voices but ropey white girls who can't hold a tune and burst into tears get to beat them.

Maybe black kids don't sell as many records?

Cheryl was seen visiting TrayC's house after the judges houses happened..

I like Nicolo BECAUSE he's an obnoxious diva. Bring it on!
Those manufactutred bands are sooooooo boring!

Donkey - Whilst that may well be a factor I think Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and JLS have done okay.

Aiden is going to get a lot better. When he's not as nervous he's an amazing singer. If he relaxes I can see him being in the final :)

Sorry donkey but what a load of crap!!!

donkeyderby · 05/10/2010 10:08

Why is it a load of crap? Black kids can certainly win X Factor, but in the early stages, they often chuck off the most amazing black singers. If it was about voices alone, they would not be thrown off.

Isn't Rebecca black (or half caste)? Louis has put a black man through (John, possibly?)

I don't think for one minute they are putting anyone through based on their colour. Their are loads of successful black artists out there. There are also some good people they don't put through or have huge debates about who are white. There are also some shite people they put through because they are (apparently) entertaining. That annoying househusband springs to mind there.

It is based on whether the judges think they are entertaining and the public will like them, not colour at all.

Donkey - It's all about money at the end of the day. It has been proved beyond doubt that black contestants can be hugely successful and make massive amounts of money for the producers. Based on that fact alone I think you are wrong.
