Why did they hire Nicole over her

she took no shit and was actually honest with all the contestants rather than sugarcoating it

[Brother Leon]

She was clearly told to be a bitch until the sob story girl came out....that or they just edited to make it look like she was a bitch the whole day

[Smithy]

It was 3 days wouldn't say be a bitch for 3 days just until we get some girl with a sob story

[MTVN]

That poor old man

[joeysteele]

Never liked her anyway.
Being a bit fair to her she was being honest most of the time but there are far more gentle and kinder ways to let people down.
That is clearly not a quality Mel B has ever acquired though.

I also agree, the guy in his 80s at least warranted some respect,she was awful,hopefully she never gets on any judging panel permanently.

She was a bit mean but it's needed when contestants are desperate to be singers when they really can't sing. It could probably be delivered less brutally but oh well

[Kizzy]

She was awful, telling that guy he was OTT?
The spice girls were never that then?... Glad she went, it takes guts to stand up there and sing, to trample all over someones emotions because you want to be percieved as the female 'simon cowell'?..
Stupid woman, she hasen't lived in leeds for 20 years and her accent is thicker than mine...

Too right Joey,she's not exactly the best singer herself,I really dislike insensitive people like her,there are ways and means of telling someone they are not so good,that old bloke probably fought in the wars so people like her could be so gobby,never liked her ,dislike her more now.I wish 'Jenny Craig' would lace her food,lol

I was in the audience for the first Manchester auditions, which was when the 80 year old was on. They edited out the crowd chanting Mel B off for about 5 minutes and people hurling abuse at her including other chants "who are ya?!"

Glad to hear this, she was an absolute BETCH!

[Apple202]

I'd rather a judge give brutal truth then giving the contestants false hope.

[Ellen]

I think she could have been a bit nicer to the old man but other than that she was great! A lot of the contestants are delusional in their abilities & should be told the truth instead of sugar coating it like they are children.

[Saph]

just watched her now and thats the sort of harshness this show needs!

I highly doubt she wants to be percieved as the female Simon Cowell.
Mel B is well known for speaking her mind & always has done, right back from the early days she has always been vocal.
Why is she stupid for not losing her accent? There are a lot of people that move away from their county or country & still retain their accent. It doesnt make a person stupid.

Then why is she acting all 'mrs nasty'?
I appreciate honesty is refreshing however she could be slightly more diplomatic than to verbally sledgehammer the hopes and dreams of people.
And those who remember her from the high school we attended have said her accent is broader now than it was then.
I was not suggesting she was stupid for not losing her accent, I just don't like her and I think she is stupid.

[Firewire]

she's on XFAU and has been since last year. but i loved her, i loved how brutal she was.

Ah i see, my mistake I remember her when she was 1st starting out & she had quite a strong accent then. Maybe she surrounds herself with yorkshire people to keep up her accent lol

I dont think she was been Mrs Nasty, she just says it how it is. If you are going to be upset by someone telling you your singing is crap then you shouldnt be on stage. Lets face it, Mel B has had that a lot in her career but the negativity didnt stop her.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I thought she was a very good judge, perfect for the show

[Gillian-73]

Don't like her. She could be honest without being so nasty!

[Jords]

Mel was completely playing up.

[CharlieO]

She sounds too english

[Lee.]

I loved her! Yeah, she was brutal but she was honest!

It pisses me off when the judges put god awful singers through because they are "entertaining" or "fun"

It is rather hypocritical though to call others crap when you are crap...And she is really really crap.
Craptastically crap.
