A child crying makes my little no -heart shrink and roll its eyes while looking around for the tot’s mother. Howard Stern, on the other hand, melts at the sight of a kid letting the tears flow.

Howard and Sharon Osbourne hit the big red X on a 7 year old rapping hopeful dubbed Mir Money. You wanted to root for the little guy, but his talent was just buried under nerves or perhaps simply not there yet. As he got his second buzz that ended his chances at moving on, he broke down crying as soon as Howard started to explain that he was so brave, but not ready.

Nick Cannon attempted to help but just made things worse by calling the judge a “mean man.” Stern quickly went on stage to console Money. The situation was just hard to watch. The boy clearly had no shot of actually winning, so patronizing him would only hurt him more in the end. The radio host just couldn’t handle the kid crying and repeated that being a judge was “just too rough” and exclaiming that he’s “not cut out for this.”

In the end, the kid went backstage and seemed consoled while Howard changed his vote to a “yes” and continued to feel terrible. Sharon and Howie wisely stuck to the guns and gave a resolute “no.”
