Another "Idols" winner is hit with controversy! A judge of the reality show, Mara Louw told reporters that Elvis Blue's win was unfair: "L'loyd should have won. Finish and klaar!... Black people don't have access to DStv. So a large part of South Africa is excluded. White people vote for white people and black people get the short end of the stick."
But not everyone agrees with Mara's opinion… Randall Abrahams said: "How do you know that black people didn't vote for Elvis? People stopped voting long ago for only singing talent, they vote for the whole package. And in any case, it is the white people who buy the albums."
Ooooh, race debates are always rocky terrain! What do you think of this issue, Women24 readers... Could a black person ever win "Idols"?
