Why Was Mel B Booed During First America's Got Talent Taping?

Scary Spice, indeed!

Mel B was booed during her first taping of America's Got Talentafter she dissed a brass band, TMZ.com reports.

Which shows must die?

The new judge and former Spice Girl was in New Orleans for her first day of filming alongside Howie Mandel, Howard Stern and Heidi Klum when she told a popular hometown brass hand, Lagniappe, that she wasn't a fan of brass music. The crowd naturally went wild, booing her and telling her to "Go home." Mel reportedly was upset and turned to Mandel for comfort.

Last month, Mel B joined the NBC competition show, replacing Sharon Osbourne, who quit the show in September over the network's treatment of her son Jack.
