Have TPTB been lately pushing for an agenda?

Don't get me wrong, I am asian descendant and LGBTQ+.

 

But it is a surprise that after so many seasons with talented multi racial and LGBT people competing, only the last two were the ones in which a gay black man and an asian contestant won.

 

Do you think that TPTB have been lately pushing the show for that, for instance pimping Sofronio as hell and asking for coaches to eliminate before live shows their male country acts?

 

In a near future, shall we have finally our black female winner?

Regardless of race, gender and sexual orientation, TPTB have made it way easier to get their chosen winner with all those new voting rules and changes they've implemented.

 

Still, I'm not optimistic about a black female winner because they are held to unrealistic and unfair standards. I'm not even sure the second coming of Whitney Houston could've won against, let's say Sundance Head back in the day.

Yes. They are often criticized for doing too much but then they try something more laid-back and still get hate. They cannot win no matter what.

Wendy Moten not winning makes me lose hope for an AA female ever winning

At least these last few seasons, they definitely don't want a country winner

[Hsamid]

Lately? When are they NOT pushing an agenda?

If Wendy couldn’t win after "Over the Rainbow" which is probably one of the best, if not the best, live performances ever on this show, I don’t know what it’s gonna take.

I accepted it back with Kyla Jade. After she performed "Let It Be" (a song in Minivan's wheelhouse) and still got 3rd place, I knew it would never happen.

 

Wendy Moten gave me a tiny amount of cautious hope, but tbh I already knew how that one was going to end too...
