She may have had some huge hits in America, but Melanie Brown’s first day as a judge on America’s Got Talent wasn’t full of the reception she’s used to.

During the first auditions taping in New Orleans, a popular local brass band named Lagniappe hit the stage to do their thing. However, it wasn’t her favorite type of music and she made the harsh mistake of actually expressing her opinion publicly following their audition.

Which led to the crowd booing her and saying she had “no respect” for their city and that she should “go home”.

It hit her pretty hard and she leaned on fellow judge Howie Mandel for support.

No word on if the band eventually made it through, but I’m guessing she won’t make that mistake again.
