Not everyone is happy that Mel B has returned to the America’s Got Talent judging panel for Season 20. Some fans have expressed their dislike for the former Spice Girl’s attitude, sharing their wish for her to be fired from the show.


Some AGT Fans Want Mel B Off the Show

Mel B was originally a judge on AGT from Season 8 to Season 13. She returned to the show this season to replace longtime judge Heidi Klum on the panel. Since Season 20 premiered last month, fans have been sharing their honest thoughts about the former Scary Spice online.

A lot of fans seem to have a problem with her negativity regarding a number of acts who are auditioning for the show. She’s been known to press her red buzzer and vote “no” to sending several acts through, even disagreeing with her fellow judges.

One X (formerly Twitter) user put it plainly, writing, “Get rid of Mel B. She is too picky and even mean in her reactions. A person can say ‘no’ without being a b*tch.” Another fan wrote that the returning judge is “ruining the show.”


Someone else wondered, “Why is Mel B so miserable all the time? Kills the vibe of the show.” These opinions extended to YouTube, where one viewer commented, “Mel is such a killjoy!” As of this writing, the remark has received over 100 likes.

Talent Recap also recently received a comment complaining about the judge, writing that she “should be fired” from the show. The commenter called her a “terrible judge” and referred to her as “Stinky Spice.”

The Judge Has Pressed Two Golden Buzzers This Season

Mel B is receiving backlash for her negative approach to some of the AGT Season 20 auditions, but there are still plenty of acts that she does enjoy. In fact, she’s the only judge so far this season who has pressed not one but two Golden Buzzers.

First, she pressed the Golden Buzzer for returning act the Messoudi Brothers, who showed off some impressive juggling skills while stripping their clothes off. Later, Mel B chose to press the Golden Buzzer for an inspiring singer named Charity Lockhart.

Mel B needs to go. She’s obviously a very miserable person. Or her “kill joy vibe” is all for PR.
