A TEEN busker was reduced to tears in front of hundreds after a bloke told her "some people have it… you don't".
The nasty onlooker told Mia Kirkland he was qualified to give the horrible review because he has "worked with Diana Ross".
Mia was busking in York city centre and said the first two hours of her set went well.
She earnt praise and some kind souls even gave flowers as she stunned the audience with her epic performance.
But two hours into her set on St Helen's Square, a white-haired man approached her and launched a vile takedown of her abilities.
Just before she was about to belt out Lady Gaga's 'Million Reasons', the oldie slammed: "There are some people who have it… you don't.

"You need to add variations, your on the same plane all the time. I don't know what you have just sung.
"I used to work with Diana Ross and people like that."
Even when Mia walked away, the elderly critic- who was clutching a puzzle – followed her.
Astonishingly, it was only when she said "that's nice, thank-you, have a lovely day" that the creep finally appeared to leave her alone.

Footage of the July 6 incident live-streamed to her 300,000 TikTok followers shows Mia trying to compose herself while wiping away tears.
Mia's mum can be heard gently saying "don't cry" as she consoles the poor busker after the vile comments.
The clip has racked up an eyewatering 12 million views on the video sharing app.
And the young busker reckons the man thought her an "easy target" because she was a lone woman.
Mia, from York, North Yorkshire, said: "He was trying to mumble so that other people couldn't hear it, but he said 'some people have it and you don't.'
"As soon as he'd spoken to me I said to my mum, 'my day's just ruined now. I don't want to keep going.'"
Despite the knock back, the singer admits she is always ready for her critics but vowed never to tolerate "intimidating" behaviour.
She added: "I've had so many experiences of people being weird with me – I had to report a woman to the police for sending me hate mail – so this is normal for me."
