Full Version: this cruel/stupid show should be canceled and
The judge, Piers had no right telling a 9 year old that her mother pushed her into her talent because she wanted the million dollars herself. Then call her a liar in front of her daughter, and then storm off the stage leaving them up there for God knows how long. NBC should take responsibilty and compensate; for starters-buying her mother a car. And this ridiculous show should be canceled. Not to mention the audience. I understand Jerry Springer is on this show, but the audience should have less participation. They're out of control. And who is David Hasselhof to judge ANYONES talent?

I have to agree 110%. This show is a joke and should be cancled.
They should screen these people better, many of these acts should never get on stage. I agree that the 9 year old did not have enough talent to win the million $$$ but she should have not been talked to that way. Maybe with better screening she wouldn't have been on stage to get that dissapointment.

I agree aswell..... Piers should have applogized on TV for the way he treated the little girl. Piers is a talentless jerk who has no business judging even the worse contestant in this show.

Which is exactly why this show should be canceled. Who are these 3 to judge ANYONES talent. NBC should buy the family a car, and pay for the 9 year old girls therapy when shes older.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Piers got it spot on. I was thinking that the mother was pushing the girl before Piers said what he did. Was anyone paying attention to what the mother was saying in her interview? I think the mother WAS lying. The kid had absolutely no talent. Zilch. I understand that a parent should be supportive in the right situation, and this wasn't it. If anyone is to blame for what happened, it's the stupid mother. Being a loving parent doesn't include letting a kid embarrass theirself on international TV! How do you clowns know that the mother didn't push the kid to enter the contest? You don't! Many (horrid) parents push kids to win things, then take their money because they're minors. The mother looked like just the type of trashy people that'd do just that. She was dressed like White trash (I'm White so I don't wanna hear anyone whining!) and had obviously pushed the same look on the daughter. That's just another sign that the mother was pushing the girl in certain directions.
By the way, it wasn't Piers who stomped off like a silly sap. That would be the gracious Mrs. Osbourne. Peirs went to get her, and obviously came back with her. Mrs. Osbourne did apologize for leaving. Why did she a apologize for doing it if Piers did it? She's the silly dumbass that stomped off! Not Piers! All he did was go to get her. She said she'd had enough, she was taking off her makeup and going home, so on and so forth, and Piers went to retrieve her and bring her back, which he obviously did. Were any of you previous posters watching the same show I was? Besides, Piers did apologize to the little girl. I don't think he should have. He wasn't being cruel! For crying out loud, you people are too emotional and clearly aren't thinking correctly. Why in the heck must someone apologize just because someone else didn't like it and got their feelings hurt? Are people so dumbed down and emotionally screwed up that they can't take criticism? Grow up and stop being emotional idiots! Ya didn't even get it right when claiming that Piers was the one who stormed off. Sharon Osbourne did! She even apologized for doing just that!
Piers has every right to saywhat he said. He's a talent judge. A judge, get it? He's doing what he was hired to do! Get a grip, you silly saps! The little girl was floundering around like a fish out of water that had a mental handicap. She needed to be jolted into reality, because obviously her mother doesn't have a damned clue. Or perhaps her mother DID have a clue and washing pushing her into the competition. The girl had no business what-so-ever being on that stage. None. So why was she there? Who pushed her to join the competition? Could it perhaps be the mother? Wake up, people!

Totally Agree. I'm actually appaled that people are supporting a 9 year old not-properly trained cheerleading wannabee victim of child abuse future snob. Its outragous!
I agree whole heartedly this show should not be aired any more, I would advise NBC to cancel this show. 
Absolutely, shows extreme unprofessionalism and absolutely immoral on how the judges all of them X'ed the 9 year old "Breeze", doing her cheerleading routine. The way how the judge Piers and Sharon walked out on this sweet 9 year old girl, truly sad, all this demonstrates to this sweet girl, shows how these celebrity judges that are a callous, shallow, and insensitive people that they are...The show must not continue, with my FINAL ANSWER to recommendation to cancel this show indefinitely....If I could get Jaime Kennedy here...I figure that I would have the last laugh when myself and Jaime Kennedy will set the judges up with a practical joke and then tell them that they been X'ed, because they are on the hidden camera show, called the JAMIE KENNEDY EXPERIMENT!!!!!, and see how they liked being X'ed!

Does anyone have any idea what county this show was filmed in? I would like to file a formal complaint with social services for the treatment of minors on this show and I need to know the county that this was filmed in. Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind I just found an interview with Jerry Springer. The abuse occurred in Texas. Emotional Injury in the state of Texas is considered child abuse and failure to report suspected child abuse is against the law. To report the child abuse that you observed on this show please visit https://www.txabusehotline.org.

Josh you have no idea whether or not the mother pushed her into it. That issue is completely irrelevant. Piers had no right to say cruel things to any of those children, or call her mother a liar in front of her.
That little girl was not talentless. I've taught and coached dancers for years and she is spot on for a girl her age. She should NOT have been let through to go on television. It is a rare 9 year old who can do amazing feats in dance and be good enough for TV. The blame lies as much with the producers as it does with Piers.
I don't care if all she did was stand there moving side to side and not dancing, DON'T BE CRUEL AND ABUSIVE TO CHILDREN.
Those of you who find this treatment acceptable are sorry and pathetic human beings and I hope you are never able to have children to abuse yourself.

Hold on a minute. I don't think anybody will honestly say the girl should have gone to the second round. But Piers WAS being cruel, and not just to her. You can say no without being nasty, and the way he treated that kid--and most of the other--was shameful and unprofessional. You don't insult kids for trying their best, even if it's painfully obvious they're not up to snuff. You say thanks for coming on, I appreciate your effort, but you're not ready right now.
He's a judge, I get it. But he was hired to *judge talent*, NOT verbally attack small children on a national stage.
First of all, I agree that the girl was not ready for the competition. A cheerleading competition with other girls her age might have been more suitable. As far as her mother pushing her into something, who knows. All I know is, for a 9 year old, that girl pretty much held her own... She didn't go running off stage crying like a baby, she didn't let piers' rude comments get to her, and she actually accepted his apology!!! I think the problem with the mother could be that she is pushing her daughter into something a little out of her league, but she could also think that her daughter has "amazing" talent and honestly thought she could be good enough to win. Those people are naive people who have blinders on and don't see ACTUAL talent but the talent of their really cute kids.
I also agree that these kids were not ready to be on a show like this. We need to remember that it was not just the one girl that he was mean to. It was all of them. Why does he need to be rude to everyone. Even Simon Cowell is not that mean! I think that we all need to remember how fragile childrens egos are, they learn from the adults around them, they develop their self esteem. All the kids tonight learned was that Adults can be cruel. Sharon left the stage becuase she had enough of Piers being an A$$ and not for any other reason, she put a stop to him being a jerk with that. It made him get up to leave because he KNEW that he had crossed way over the line and someone was FINALLY calling him on it and saying enough. He needs to be fired. I can not believe that NBC thinks that this is what we want to see on TV.

Bravo! I agree with you completely! And I kind of think that Sharon stormed off because she had enough of the crowd. God, it was like the Jerry Springer Show!

Generally, I find myself agreeing with Piers/Simon's criticisms about 90% of the time. However, Piers did go a little far with that 9-year-old cheerleader. Granted, she wasn't ready for this kind of competition, but to bring her mother into this? That's just hitting below the belt!
Now for those who are calling for Piers to get sacked and the show to be cancelled: you're all overreacting. What I like about Piers is his honesty (e.g. that girl who thought that she could imitate Bianca was crap), and while on that train of thought, look at all the praise he's had for real talent (such as Bianca and Passing Zone last season).
Yes, Piers should apologize for his over-the-top comments, but that shouldn't be in the form of cancelling the show.
PS JoshNC your comments are also completely out of line. While I agree with Piers' verdict ("good/bad"), I do not by any means place blame on the mother, and yes, the white trash comment is uncalled for in this kind of forum, whether you're white or not.

Don't feel that the Show should be cancelled at all. The contestant was not good. The mother was "cheering her on" and it seemed that she was pushing her daughter to enter this competition -- although she had "no real talent."
Every parent deserves to encourage his/her child to perform and have confidence. But, there are limits! Don't place your child in front of a national TV audience -- having him or her pretend to have a talent he or she doesn't really have. Shame on the mother!

While I agree on the talent issue there was NO REASON AT ALL for his behavior. THat was in no way constructive criticism of a child in front of a national audience. These children still have to go to school and now deal with peers after this situation. Whether the parents fault or not, that isn't the issue, the issue is his response to the child. THAT was deplorable.

By the way, it wasn't Piers who stomped off like a silly sap. That would be the gracious Mrs. Osbourne. Peirs went to get her, and obviously came back with her. Mrs. Osbourne did apologize for leaving. Why did she a apologize for doing it if Piers did it? She's the silly dumbass that stomped off! Not Piers! All he did was go to get her. She said she'd had enough, she was taking off her makeup and going home, so on and so forth, and Piers went to retrieve her and bring her back, which he obviously did. Were any of you previous posters watching the same show I was? Besides, Piers did apologize to the little girl. I don't think he should have. He wasn't being cruel! For crying out loud, you people are too emotional and clearly aren't thinking correctly. Why in the heck must someone apologize just because someone else didn't like it and got their feelings hurt? Are people so dumbed down and emotionally screwed up that they can't take criticism? Grow up and stop being emotional idiots! Ya didn't even get it right when claiming that Piers was the one who stormed off. Sharon Osbourne did! She even apologized for doing just that!
Piers has every right to saywhat he said. He's a talent judge. A judge, get it? He's doing what he was hired to do! Get a grip, you silly saps! The little girl was floundering around like a fish out of water that had a mental handicap. She needed to be jolted into reality, because obviously her mother doesn't have a damned clue. Or perhaps her mother DID have a clue and washing pushing her into the competition. The girl had no business what-so-ever being on that stage. None. So why was she there? Who pushed her to join the competition? Could it perhaps be the mother? Wake up, people!

I think Piers got it spot on. I was thinking that the mother was pushing the girl before Piers said what he did. Was anyone paying attention to what the mother was saying in her interview? I think the mother WAS lying. The kid had absolutely no talent. Zilch. I understand that a parent should be supportive in the right situation, and this wasn't it. If anyone is to blame for what happened, it's the stupid mother. Being a loving parent doesn't include letting a kid embarrass theirself on international TV! How do you clowns know that the mother didn't push the kid to enter the contest? You don't! Many (horrid) parents push kids to win things, then take their money because they're minors. The mother looked like just the type of trashy people that'd do just that.

You have a right to your opinion, but this is a child yes, you may be upset with the mother but all in all it was the child who had to suffer humiliation and you need to remember they do not have the abilities of an adult and they need to develop some are later than others. You don't totally bash a child. That shows absolutely no class. They are not mature enough to accept criticism the same as an adult. I feel that we need to let the children perform maybe with different criteria you cannot compare a child to an adult that was doing their talent before the nine, twelve, an fifteen year old was born. I feel that the audience is partially to blame. You do not boo a child. They need to put themselves up there on that stage! Until they get the guts to do that, they need to show repect to the contestant! Another thing, the only reason any of the the judge's children are in this industry is because their parents' career. I can't believe NBC has the nerve to allow people to act like that to a child. My children compete, and if anyone in the audience acts like the audience did to the children last night, they are escorted out without a refund. I am turned off by the show and I really think they need to reconsider even allowing children if this is how the show is going to be. Remember THIS IS A CHILD. Have some class.
What ever NBC producer decided to put the girl on stage and on tv is the bigger problem. They are the ones that caused more controversy. The girl did not take th etalent to go through to the 2nd round. I;m sure there were other acts they could have put on.
As for Piers he did go a bit too far. I think alot of people who hear pageants, and then see a little girl come our with makeup and her hair all done up think of the Mom. The girl obviously can't put the makeup and do her hair so they mom has to be invovled.
Having the girl stand up on stage was anothe NBC prodcuers creulty. They could have sent her backstage, or forced the judges to vote before they walked off stage. The girl got three x's so it was obvious they were not going to vote her through.

Everyone knows that the contestants are auditioned and selected for the program. I know you want to show talented and also weird contestants for the entertainment value. You should draw the line at putting children of only average (or below) talent on public display for your "entertainment". Adults have the free choice to audition and embarrass themselves. Children should be protected from being used. They may not have the free choice or judgment and are being put into a perhaps traumatic situation. The people choosing your contestants should have enough class and compassion to filter out the children excepting those who show unusual talent. That little cheerleading girl was pathetic. It was cruel to put an average little girl and her doting mother up to public ridicule. I was embarrassed to even watch this show. Kathy

The judge, Piers had no right telling a 9 year old that her mother pushed her into her talent because she wanted the million dollars herself. Then call her a liar in front of her daughter, and then storm off the stage leaving them up there for God knows how long. NBC should take responsibilty and compensate; for starters-buying her mother a car. And this ridiculous show should be canceled. Not to mention the audience. I understand Jerry Springer is on this show, but the audience should have less participation. They're out of control. And who is David Hasselhof to judge ANYONES talent?

I have never registered with a newsletter/forum before. I normally do not write complaint letters. It is a sign at how disgusted I am with NBC for airing this program that I have taken up my time to post about this show. I will never watch this program again,,,,IT IS A DISGRACE!!! Kathy
[quote name='adamjscott79' date='Jun 5 2007, 09:26 PM' post='2177194']Piers Morgan really has gone too far and it is obvious people are tired of judges who are flat out rude, mean, and cruel. I don't think he is all that anyway and probably isn't as talented as he thinks. His arrogance makes me want to puke. There is enough of this in our world as it is. Showing consideration, kindness, and good manners isn't too much to ask. You can be honest in an empathetic way without being mean. The audience needs to back off as well. The rule should be if the audience doesn't like the talent then be completely silent and don't clap at the end. If they like it, then have a standing ovation, scream, whistle, clap all you want. Silence sends a strong message. The judges can say "no, thank you" and offer some creative tips and wish them the best then move on. There are many talented people in America, much more talented than those who are mean I am sure. I think America is getting really tired of the rudeness and it doesn't send the right message about our country when this is all we see daily on t.v. No wonder the world hates Americans, we haven't shown anything other than our bad side lately and the media because of their greed for ratings isn't helping out at all. If you can't be kinder then cancel the show or keep judges like Sharon who have compassion. I hope to see some serious changes. I believe if those changes occur, you'd be surprised at how your ratings will sky rocket. Start a new trend...........BE NICE!!!! Thank you.

Kat, i like you already. i'm a moderator on another forum and know how hard these guys here HAVE to have it after that dipstick from great briton treated those young kids. if i was that one girls parent (on stage with her) i'm afraid pier would've got some of his own medicine in return for his obnoxious comments. i won't be watching it again..... and my wife....OMG ! what she'd say and do to that guy.... lol
Just a note here---
Okay, yes the girl "appeared" to be coached by her mother (and yes, her make up made her look like a 9 year old hooker), yes Piers "appeared" to be cruel and heartless--but people-- this is television. We do not have any idea how long the conversation between Piers and Breeze was, we do not know what was actually said--we do not even know if the comments that Piers made were actually to "Breeze" they may have been to some other unfortunately untalented contestant--I am quite sure that a lot of the stuff he had to say ended up on the editing room floor in order to create sensationalism. Right or wrong, NBC did their job-people are talking and arguing about it and in the entertainment world, no press is bad press. Before going on programs like this contestants have to sign HUGE amounts of paperwork that NBC can use their image however they want--even if it means taking stuff out of context, and making you appear stupid, etc ,etc. In my personal opinion, for what it is worth, the mother "encouraged" the daughter into a situation out of her league and got her hand slapped for it. The daughter has obviously been coached and the whole thing was a little too scripted for a reality show for me. Breeze responding, 'She didn't push me, she helped me" was a little to pat and memorized--like it had been practiced for an hour or two before the taping. NExt time, I would recommend that the kid get a good dance teacher and an acting instructor so that her lines don't sound so memorized.

the little girl DID say she was "helped" by her mother. coaching IS helping. regardless, pier can't justify the way he acted and neither can the producers... if it would've been me up there with my little girl.....i think i'd have shown the producers what REAL drama this kind of garbage can produce. an pier would've found himself in a situation he hasn't been in before... every act on the show was rehearsed... it's what they do. to use that as an excuse for defending a judge who has no business out of his editors office in enland, is beyond me....
Piers should not have been so cruel, but the mother is the one to blame. As a mother myself I would not have put my child in that position. She has no talent and the mother knows it and she purposely exposed her daughter to it.

I completely agree here. I do competitive dancing and as in any other competition, you have to get used to harsh critisism. I understand that some people think this is too harsh, but really if she's been competing at national levels like her mother said, she will be more than used to this kind of critisism. Of course the mother was protective, she's a parent and that's her child. But honestly, Piers was just doing what he's supposed to do. This competition's ending up just like American Idol on the basis of fans complaining about harshness. But if you really auditioned for the show, you have to be prepared to take really harsh critisism.
Judges are there to do exactly that, judge you. You may be a really nice person, but it doesn't really matter to them. You have tohave whatever it takes to get to them and say "I am EXACTLY what your looking for" and to be honest, she didn't say that and I was just a viewer. So I would say get over the fact that she's nine and ask yourself "Would I be somewhat harsh if I were judging a national competition?" If you said no, then I don't think you should be watching this show at all. It's reality, get over it.
The kids that perform their "talent" on stage are too pathetic to accept the fact that their talent is not worth one million. That cheerleading girl was exceptional pathetic. They cry when they are criticized and it is not fault of the judges. Many people in this forum complain that Piers is too tough as a judge. Well, sorry to break it to you, but that is his job - judging whether the talent is worth one million. He criticizes so the performers can improve their talent for the future. Judges such as Hasselhoff seem to judge based on emotion rather than talent. This is not what judging is. If the kids performing can't handle being criticized, don't perform at all!

and pier is qualified to be a talent judge by being a newspaper editor ? contructive criticism is all good. treating kids like they are dirt is wrong. i'm sure he was instructed to act that way. the judges are there to "weed" out the real talent. not destroy a childs dream with crude remarks........ tact is the word they need to look up. and use it. pier is on the panel for ONE reason and ONE reason only, simon the great. he bows to simon and simon loves every second of it. yeah, his job is to be a judge. he just sucks at it and this being a public forum we're allowed to voice our displeasure. pier is NOT a talent himself so he wouldn't know it if it was right in front of him. a newspaper editor........who obviously isn't needed for THAT job back home or he'd be there.
