What exactly do you mean by that? How about you grow up? Last time I looked, Chris Rene appears to be either white or mixed race and LA voted off Stereo Hogz.

But I have to say that I was annoyed big time that he did not stand up to clap her. She was by far better than Willow Smith!

I do not for a second think this has anything to do with race! Is there beef there or something because to me his response seemed kind of personal.

apparently he wanted to sign her but she wanted to meet with other record labels as well and eventually signed with another label!

Saw it on Youtube as have not bothered to watch the series itself. Yes I thought that and even if she did snub him for a record deal, he is revealing how shallow a little man he is. One wonders at his motivation and he leaves hinself open to certain types of speculation.

That sounds likely but it's still very small of him to react the way he did.

Isn't he the guy that dropped Gaga from his label ---- maybe rejection only works one way for him

LA REID is an arrogant, self absorbed LITTLE man.

that he is so petty and small minded should come as no surprised to noone

LA Reid is really showing his true colours now as so many new judges do when it comes to mentoring time. All their egos are driving them on to win and they will demolish other acts who they think will get in the way of one of their acts winning.

He pointedly ignored giving Jessie J a standing ovation whilst the other three judges did. The fact that he gave Williow Smith one just before that says a lot. A little man in a big mans shoes.

LA Reid is odd. He said he's never heard of the Christina Aguilera song 'Aint No Other Man' or the film 'You, Me & Dupree'?!?! I don't get him.

Lol, there's times he makes Louis Walsh seem reasonable and sane.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Only just watched the results show today and couldn't believe it.

Willow Smith's success is simply a result of what happens when mommy and daddy are Hollywood A Listers and feel the need to indulge their child.

I realise the standing ovations are just a token gesture on this show, but he really was rude.

At least Kelly Rowland stood up for mediocre UK acts like The Wanted and Cher Lloyd. Takes notes LA!

This may be the reason.

It is a bit pathetic if that is the reason he didnt bother to clap.

Is is because Jessie J is a piss poor version of PInk and Pink is one of his acts???

I dont think she is like Pink apart from the fact they are both great singers.

Wow. Clearly he expects to get his way all the time & flips when he doesn't.
What a prick.

He is such a c***. That not clapping for Jessie J just confirmed it. Also he has rappers in his catergory when really the show is about singing. Astro is uber talented but there is no versatility. What happens on country week? Which will inevitably happen. Plus the way he goes on about how you have to change it up and then moans at Stacy for doing so (same as Tulisa on UK XF tbf ), when he has a rapper who does the same week... It made me want to throw something at my screen when he questioned why Simon chose Fix You for Drew too!
