And he got his facts wrong too, saying there were no black acts in Series 1

Did he forget the wonderful Voice With Soul?

Voice With Soul didn't make the final though? And Hannah hit the bottom two so many times because she never had a late slot apart from week 2 and 4. And Tamera was hated for plenty of reasons, bad performances, forgetting the lyrics, and being one of the more attractive girls in the competition made her struggle really badly in the competition and had to take all the late slots that Hannah and Abi should've had in some of those weeks.

This is such a piece of nonsense; the X Factor is about positive, not negative, voting and people vote for the performers they like the most. If somebody were to make a case for the underrepresentation of Asian people then that would be far more compelling to read because there would be some truth to that; black people are more than well represented in the UK X Factor.

By 'final stages' they mean the Live Shows.

If they're on about the actual final, then there's only like 3 or 4 finals that had any black acts left in it.
