For one Vanessa White, isn't white. For two R & B has been struggling in main stream music for at least a decade now and viewers like you kill me when you are pressed when a person who isn't black taps into "R & B" or hip hop or rap and gets upset when they get credit. Do you pick up the phone and vote for the black talent on these talent shows, most likely not. When they do win, do you buy their album's, no. What you do is compare them to another black artist that's is already out or once was and you don't support their growth, you want them to stick to what they did 5 years ago and you put them in a box. And that's why they don't win and if they do, they don't reach their potential because people like you. Stop complaining about the problem when you're part of the problem.
