Exactly. When you’re in the industry, you have to have tough skin because they’ll give you the truth whether you’re ready to hear it or not. That’s what you submit yourself to the moment you decide to go professional. Plus, in the industry, criticism doesn’t have an age limit no matter how it comes across. From a performer’s perspective, I didn’t feel that Howie was rude in the clip. He was just giving his honest opinion and it sounded like constructive criticism to me. The problem is we’ve become too soft as a society where we’re afraid to hurt other’s feelings and where everybody’s given an award just for participating, which in turn, gives off the message that we’re good at something even if we would need to improve. There’s no pass or shortcut for hard work in the real world and we need to come back to that principle.

[@christinesaaty215]

The Mother was rude and obnoxious to Howie. Her kids are fine but nothing we haven't seen before on AGT.

[@818puffy]

Exactly why would he need to apologise in the first place he is a judge he was just expressing his opinion however having said that of course may be his choice of words could be better. Despite that, he was just being honest with his opinion of what he feels with any presentation on the stage. Being on that stage be prepared for any feedback or criticism. We should not blame someone of their honest opinion of what and how they feel. It’s just subjective.

[@jdhobbes]

Howie made a call back in the day, and he was probably right at that moment: he should not have to apologize for making that decision. The Mum should not be in this business if she can't deal with some rejection. Sure, being a judge means that you'll have to deal with unhappy contestants, and Howie had to know that's part of what he signed up for. But having fellow judges pick on the guy with anxiety is NOT COOL.

[@EmoryBlake4Music]

Agreed 100%. If these kids end up in Vegas they will face worse scrutiny than Howie Mandel. He wasnt wrong for his honesty...maybe his word choices were bad and he definitely could have said the same thing by finding the right words...But if they end up in an even bigger spotlight during their careers, they need to learn that criticism is very real in show business. If their mom also feels attacked because she is, in a way, living vicariously through her children, she will wind up becoming a miserable and angry parent when/if they do become famous beyond AGT.

[@KevBuckets]

@@EmoryBlake4Music he's only doing them a favor when he criticizes

[@EmoryBlake4Music]

@@KevBuckets You're exactly right. That's pretty much what I said. He wasnt wrong for criticizing and I have nothing against it, but wording changes everything. I know this because I'm a school teacher. As I already said, if they get into the professional dancing circuit and under the microscope of the mass media, they (and their brother) most likely WILL end up hearing more comments similar to Howie's. Their mom needs to understand that what Howie said is like a bee sting compared to the bullets fired when it comes to what could be said by hateful people on social media. But this show is not all about preparing talented people for the negative aspects of a life in show business where the judges give negative reviews as if they were art critics. It's to encourage contestants to keep moving forward throughout the season and to get better as they advance throughout the season. He definitely could have chosen better words. Bad reviews coming from art critics is something they might have to deal with later as they rise to fame. But comments like Howie's is enough to make someone feel so discouraged that they give up continuing to try. So, their mom could very well just be angry at the way Howie said what he said, but not at what he said. I also find it very interesting that Howie asked if they knew someone that was on the show before. I dont recall if that's something usually asked by the judges. But it seems odd to me that he would just happen to ask that, have it confirmed true, then the angry mother is ready backstage to go give Howie a piece of her mind. I'm definitely not 100% on this...nowhere close (and if I'm wrong please feel free to just let me know) but it seems like this may have been one of those times when a performance is partially or even fully scripted in the hopes for better ratings.

Then they realized that these sob stories brought up the ratings. I feel they are selling the sob stories more than they are the talent. The judges attitudes also evolved. I don’t know them and assume like most “reality shows” they are playing a part, a character. With the addition of other competitive shows their character evolved. We as a society has also evolved. We want to see these sob stories, these vendetta’s, and these wrongs righted. We’re rooting for the underdog! I am not implying any of this is right or wrong but only my observations.

@@snehashah3718 this is AGT. Not KGT(kids got talent). We judge everyone's performance based on merit.. Not based on their age and no handicap are given to anyone young or old. So young kids are treated as adult when judging and same for seniors.. But we all want to be nice and supporting to kids and old people by being less harsh. Howie was right.. Imagine someone tell you a joke.. You find it funny and you laugh.. Then that teller thought it is so funny and tell you again and again.. And soon you will find it annoying... Howie just want to tell the kid in an adult way that: do not overdoing certain thing that people like else it will lose the charm of it initially.

The thing is… Howie is literally a judge! They’re looking for the best talent… don’t get me wrong, nothing against the kid, and just making it to the live shows is an amazing accomplishment, but just because it was a child doesn’t mean Howie shouldn’t do his job! From what I saw, he wasn’t all that rude, he simply said what he was which was that the kid used the same move multiple times. Why shouldn’t he be honest when it’s a talent competition? Holding a grudge for 6 years is ridiculous… I’m sure the kid has moved on! Sad thing is the mother probably told them to make sure the kids mentioned that the brother didn’t win, so they could sort of guilt trip Howie.
