HOW IN THE LIVING HELL WERE VOICES OF SOUL IN THE BOTTOM TWO???? they were EASILY one of the top 3 acts..even the judges knew it..its because they are BLACK and people just dont want to vote for them..its disguisting..in every single competition where there is a phone vote ethnics never do well..i am absolutly appauled..you can argue about every other competition but in THIS one how in the hell were they there..its almost as if they are garenteed to be voted out next week..why cant people just look at talent rather than there skin..some of the others just got the sympaphy vote..as for others..tabby sung awful..

Its because they were boring...loud...and very obnoxious...they are nothing new and they are not talented...the only way they will get a hit record is if they re-release a weather girls song...roberta had ten times more talent than all three of them put together...

I am also totally appaled by Voices With Soul being in the bottom two, but it's a very heavy assumption to say that it's because they are black.

Yeah, I don't think it's because they is black.

They are good singers but have absolutely no hook like some of the others.

so on the same line of thinking was Roberta voted off because she was white?

Thanks for making me laugh tonight!

Although I don't think VWS should have been bottom two - I think you underestimate the general public....imo, it was nothing to do with racism...I remember there being a similar argument on here about Roxanne leaving PI being because of racism...imo it's aload of rubbish! Rock on VWS though - I think they're great and I'm so glad they're through..although I'm not sure I like their attitudes much...they have great voices!

Give me a break the show is about talent..but like you and the rest of the prejudice people in this country you saw colour and physical appearance first..you probably one of those that thought tabby was excellent..as for the other guy with the bad voice..i forgot his name..even though he was ill he still should have been judged by how he sung..but oh no..hes a white male..who probably of middleaged women ran to their phones and voted for him because they fancyed him..the shows a farse..the judges know it..we all know it..if you listened to them all on a cd and never seen a picture of any of them i can garentee you would have put voices of soul through..

I dont think it's because they're black. To be honest, I think they were in the bottom two because the public thought everyone else would vote for them....

It happened on Popstars with Javine, maybe this went the same way tonight....

I didn't vote for either Voices with Soul or Rowetta...does that mean I'm a racist?

I don't think so

It's more likely because they're fat and they shout.

But I think the point people are making here, is that Rowetta is also black, yet she was through on the public vote.. You just contradcited yourself...

Not half as boring as Roberta. She seems like a nice girl but she is bland. How many records do you reckon she'll sell? Don't reckon she'd do any better than VWS but at least they have personality. What's is so very obnoxious about VWS? They've always seemed like jolly girls to me.

Rowetta is not quite as black as Voices with Soul.

Steve is also a bit whiter than Tabby so he's probably going to get in the last three.

Nobody's in denial, it's a singing contest that the public are asked to vote on, it's all very subjective. Hey I wanted Sarah Hall to win the Man Booker prize but the judges prefered someone else.
