Little Mix Wins the X Factor

[rov1100]

The voting was nothing to do with race was it as I thought Marcus was the favourite and should have won?

[4getmenot]

doubt it as 2 in little mix are mixed race

[B00]

Jesus rov, this is scraping the barrel as far as a news topic goes innit?

[Everhelpful]

Whats race got to do with it?

[ummmm]

Like 4get says...2 are mixed race.

[sir.prize]

Was that your Avatar talking, rov1100?

Simon Cowell wanted a group to win this year, and he pressured Tulisa to get in there, although i feel a little worried that it may have been a fix (nothing to do with race) just that they wanted a group to win, and little mix were getting better and better. Race is not the factor. Stop thinking that.

So why did the public not vote for him? Comes from Liverpool, was a hairdresser or what? He was far the better singer!

[Count-A-Strong]

A spoiler would have been nice. Never heard of Sky?

[4getmenot]

people did vote, just more voted for little mix. Think it comes down to the younger generation voting thats all

[B00]

Most of the voters obviously didn't agree he was the better singer rov, and i didn't either. And again, seriously? News???

[ummmm]

If I'd voted I would have voted for little mix.

[jno]

sure it's news, B00, it'll be in all the papers tomrorow, even if I haven't a clue what anyone's talking about. (A friend of ours was in the audience and we've been having to txt her to tell her who's out of Strictly, as she can't be everywhere.)

little mix won? boo,I dont like Irish dancing,riverdance was pants

[Captin Kirk]

Just remembered why I don't visit AB anymore and when I do I steer clear of the news section.

What a Snag of a question to post and even bother to expect replies to.

[jno]

Riverdance was great below the waist, but their top halves might as well have been reading the Bible.

[murraymints]

Marcus...you wiz robbed..!

[ll_billym]

Never mind, there's another one next year.

The Burke girl won 2/3 years ago, she was black!!!!

// There were mutterings, meanwhile, about the fact that four of the six guests performers over the weekend – namely Westlife, One Direction, JLS and Leona Lewis – are signed to show svengali Simon Cowell’s record label.
Cynics might also point out that there were also several Take That songs used – penned of course by Cowell’s replacement as head judge, Gary Barlow – plus guest acts’ albums advertised during the commercial breaks, with host Dermot O’Leary providing the voiceover. The money-making machine gets ever more shameless. //

Cue another instantly forgettable Christmas No.1.

This question has to be one of the most tenuous attempts to link racism to a situation I think I've ever read.

More people liked to the group than liked the individual - that's all.
