Idols V Farce

It has been confirmed that Idols voters are racist (well atleast it was confirmed by me) otherwise how does one explain the voting out of Thembi Nkosi from the competion. Thembi has more talented than Lendel, Graeme and Jason combined. It was a shock to see her leave. I was left nauseous.

I bet you my last cent that should Thembi have been white she'd be through to the next round. I know some would criticize me for pulling out the 'race' card but reality is that it is true. Indians didn't vote for Lendel because he was talented but because he was one of their kind. The same goes for white people...ofcourse they would argue that why then black people didn't vote for Thembi. Let's be realistic here, how many black people have DSTV? Where Thembi is from, Thembisa, they had to gather at the hall to be able to watch their hero and hope. If Idols were aired on SABC 1 we'd be talking a different story now, wouldn't we?
Idols have become a joke. I mean, how many Idols winners have made it big after they won the competition? Exactly!

I hope Thembi finds a recording contract so that she can show the world that winning Idols is not everything...
