He's only been on "America's Got Talent" for two episodes, but Howard Stern has already made a little kid cry. On Monday night, the shock jock and his co-judge Sharon Osbourne buzzed adorable 7-year-old rapper Amir Palmer, and the boy burst into tears. "That's a mean man," host Nick Cannon said.

BUT ... Stern felt really badly about the incident. He went onstage to hug Amir, saying, "I'll fix everything. I'm sorry honey, I'm so sorry. Mir Money, you're a terrific young man, you know that? You are so brave ... I'm going to be honest with you. I don't want to make you cry.

"You know what Mir Money, it's funny," he continued. "I've met many great rappers. I'm on the radio, I've interviewed them. None of them are quite as good as you."

Later, he added, "This job is too rough for me. I don't really wanna do it anymore ... I'm not cut out for this, man. I'm not cut out for it. I'm shaking man, I'm shaking. I can't do it, man. I can't do it." He also told Amir he was going to Las Vegas after all, however, The New York Post reports that it isn't happening.

Sometimes I just wonder what Gordon's friggin' problem is. Could it be bi-polar disorder? He should learn a little patience and self restraint from this man.

As for the way some people sing, I think Simon Cowell speaks for all of us.

Simon because he cant give anybody any credit unless there just about perfect. Gordon Ramsey is sorta like a drill Sargent, his aggression serves a purpose. Stern clearly shows remorse for his "sternness" hehe.

Cowell offers good criticism. Some of those morons shouldn't be let out of their rubber room, much less be allowed to audition on some dopey TV show.

There are WAY too maky whining crybabies on TV.

Howard Stern is an act. And he got very rich for doing it. And that's part of the reason of what's wrong with America. Useless people like Stern get rich, while the hard workers of America just make it.

This woman is straight rude. I have seen her go off on people for the dumbest stuff on her show. She suffers from 1mistakeitis, a dangerouse disease wherein should the sufferer(Tyra) become offended one time, the one who offends cannot redeem themselves.

Why do people criticize Howard, what is the point of this show? To let people pass cus they are small, cute or pretty? Its a talent show and that's his job, the people booing are idiots, That's why music is dead now everyone thinks they have talent and then throw a crying tantrum when they are told they don't and then scum applaud the no talents.

reply
daize to Ev Rom 2012/05/26 01:04:51

True but remember they are little kids you wouldn't want to make them cry just let them down easily

Howard pressed the buzzer, how much easier could he have let him down?
