Tell a friend:

















sounds a bit more racist eh?
Black music is more popular in the US because blacks are over 10% of the population there.
Yes black people do make better soul singers but the honkies (I'm white so that's allowed) these days make more traditional soul tunes and many whites don't want a Kanye West verse tagged on their songs
Realistically how many british artists are successful? I can name maybe four including estelle! Had estelle not gone to the states she would be nowhere right now. The british music industry is racist, thats a fact. But whether duffy or adele are soul singers thats down to opinion. Remember this same media claimd joss stone was the white Aretha Franklin? puhlease
As for your comment shithole regarding why is not one uk black artist on the worlds stage
Im a musician & ive been trying to get my music signed up, as well as working to get local bands & friends signed up. It doesnt happen, its nothing to do with race or talent,simply how marketable you are
