      ***** really? living in the UK it is abudently clear who the preferential races are.
      her being tamil has nothing to her talent? neither is someone being black have to their talent.
      she was refused from radio in the UK and even when she made it in america, no one paid any mead in the UK, had she been black or white, she would have been far more famous
      everyone already feels this, saying no one believes this, is kinda not working. its out there

    • @henryfung9725
      @henryfung9725 8 років тому +30

      ***** they didnt know how to market her partly because of her ethnicity, even one of the white male producers said it in a guardian article
      LOOK at the british music industry its ALL black and white...literally there is nothing else, even x factor shows this., look at the UK its diverse
      jay sean is a very mainstream style of music he had to go to america, because his RACE "indian" was not taken seriously in the UK, people could not understand why a asian man was doing hip hop beats....
      i find it sad that someone who is a minoirity can;t even accept the issues with UK society
      even a white french guy who works in fashion told me today how surpised he was the UK will show case white black but never asian on adverts or fashion?

    I see no one is talking about it, but as a former equestrian, that horse is STUNNING. Arabian horses were one of my favorite breeds (Akhal-Tekes is my favorite, a literally shiny, gold breed from Turkey, google them, they're gorgeous). Watching an experienced rider on such a beauty makes me tear up still to this day.

She is a phenomenal musician and artist.
