[@anaissilva6278]

When a judge is disrespectful, hateful and completely disregards the contestant's feelings to a point where he loses all respect and empathy in the way they talk to them, that's when you know they shouldn't be judging. She writes a song for her grandmother who passed away, a song that quite literally gave her her voice back after losing it with such a tragedy, and he has the guts to say that the song 'is nothing'? What kind of human does that?

I could respect Howie if his criticism was constructive, but he was just plain out rude, he didn’t help her in any way (and when judging he is meant to). Her song was heartfelt, true to her, and you could hear the raw emotion in her voice. That is authentic TALENT! He claims the quirky songs are what he liked but he failed to see what the song with the hate comments actually represented, it means to keep moving forward when you get thrown obstacles, not to by “quirky”. Not only did Howies lack of ethical reasoning upset me, but when he said “this was nothing” infuriated me. He insulted a beautifully written song, with so much meaning behind it. If he can’t see the talent this girl posses he’s crazy! I have lost my respect for Howie, because he has lost sight of the meaning of the show.

You can’t expect someone to be “quirky” all the time the same way you can’t expect someone to be “happy” all the time, she’s a human being and she made songs based off of emotions she was feeling.

I can't believe how many people think Madylin was trying to gain any pity. She didn't take the hate comments seriously you know, _that's why she made it into a fun song._ In fact, she was doing that on her channel for a while. When everyone was encouraging her to sing an original song instead of a cover, she decided to sing the song that was a HIT on KZbin and that was "Red Ribbon." I love it, my family loves it, and it's honestly one of her best original songs. It happened to mean a lot to her because it was dedicated to her grandmother, which is why the song itself is so good, because it was written with heart and passion! She ain't getting any pity fam. Howie was unnecessarily rude. His comments about her as a "girl, lady woman... person," was so freaking awkward (and this isn't the first semi finalist he was awkward with), and he said this song was "nothing."
