PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

6. "RE: Ty the Sore Loser" |
As the one black person watching this show, I can tell you that Ty didn't mean that black people didn't vote for him because they aren't into his kind of music. And he wasn't calling the band racist. There is only so long they can keep saving him if the public isn't into him. And I think he understands that. I think he was trying to make a point about why the public isn't into him. He meant that the viewers (mostly white, I would guess) weren't open to the idea of having a black lead singer for one of their favorite Aussie bands. It's almost not even calling them racist as much as saying that they are kind of set in their ways and when they see a black singer, they want him to be singing soul music or rap. Black people and rock music are not exactly synonomous. And people aren't progressive enough to see that he could bring a whole new sound to the group. That said, I was hoping Ty would go home tonight. I'm trying to pick a lead singer for a band I liked very much just the way they were and I don't want them to make a drastic departure from their old stuff. So maybe I'm one of the folks he's talking about -- so it's not just white folks! It's sad, but that's life. But folks, can we PLEEEEAAAASSSEEE get rid of JD next??? I beg of you!
