Sad really as the GBP rarely vote for any black female artists. They would rather ote for awful acts like Mason and Max who should not even be in the final. They robbed Jennifer of a place.

They obviously voted for Fleur last year

I'm not sure what skin colour has to do with it though? Hmmmmmmmm Jeref?

So what you're actually saying is "Sum up Kiera's exit."

The only thing it has to do with colour of skin is that Black female contestants are stereotyped into doing the same old Whitney, One night only, Telling you, type bollox. Imho if a Black contestant wishes to do a different genre of music that doesn't involve shouting the place down, then they have every right to do so.

I know it will never happen, but if a Black contestant portrayed themselves as a Rock or Reggae / Ska artist and performed songs in there original form, then I would gladly vote for them. What I am against is all contestants regardless of colour screaming out the same Whitney / Beyonce BS. I liked Sam Bailey, but I never voted for her when she screamed out a Beyonce track, because it isn't my type of music.

She was never going to be allowed to shine as she was only cast as early elimination fodder.

Fleur, Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - I'd say white females get a rawer deal TBH although as you say - what does skin colour have to do with it?

Just three acts in 12 years. I rest my case.

Yep, they're really underrepresented against the one white female winner.

I'm glad you're resting your case as it's clearly tired.

Ironically there have been more black female winners & runner ups than there have been white females. In fact there has never been a white female runner up, only 3rd place, So cannot see why you are complaining.

Three black women winners - one white woman.

What point are you trying to make?

Seems black or mixed race women outperformed white women in Series 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. Series 8 was won by a girlgroup of mixed racial backgrounds. All of the girls flopped hard in Series 9.

So white women have only performed better in series 4, 6 and 10. And even in Season 10 and 4 the last one standing in the girls category was from an ethnic minority background. I don't think there is much evidence of racism among the voters.

As far as I remember, only one black woman has won - Alexandra Burke

One mixed-raced woman - Leona Lewis

And one white woman - Sam Bailey

Fluer is mixed raced & she didn't even win last year, Ben Haenow was crowned the winner.

To be fair, it's white males alone who are over-represented as winners. Everybody else (incl white women) plays second fiddle to them (pardon the pun)
