- I'm not saying that she is a great singer to begin with, but - do we think Shakira might be at a "disadvantage" here because of her pregnancy? - kelly Mar 26, 06:26 2
  - My assumption is that they filmed the auditions pre-birth and then everything with the mentoring will be after....so probably not - Will Hunting Mar 26, 06:30 1

- As soon as the dude started singing, I told my boys, THIS is the one Adam will fight for. - Jim Mar 26, 06:25 2
  - Exactly what I was thinking. I wonder about the timing of the tapings..is this really Day 1 becuase maybe Adam knows from experience they have spoils - Will Hunting Mar 26, 06:28 1
    - I wonder that sometimes too. I usually don't have an issue with the people they turn down...but I do wonder why they pick what seems to be a weaker - Jim Mar 26, 06:33
- spoilers - ty97 Mar 26, 06:16 1
