Catching up, and it's been a bit hit or miss, so I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but it sounds to my ears like Adam is singing "if he loves, if he loves, if he loves me" in the beginning of that longer YouTube video of his new song, "Broken." If so, it'll be pretty cool for him to finally have a song (hopefully) on the radio (since "Fever" remained an album cut and unfortunately never got mainstream airplay here) with lyrics that explicitly specify a male love interest.

I think we all read too much into every move made and speculate too much. Sometimes it's just because!

Why would judges "go after" each other? Are the judges competing somehow? (never watched XF, so idk...) also, if Mel B doesn't have a group of contestants then how is she in the "judges competition" (assuming there is one). Also, what was the "envelope" incident you ladies are talking about? This is a vid of the envelope incident: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3IjhgGR9Pw

It is called 'idle [no pun intended, lol] talk or speculation" and all just in fun, whiling the time away on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Just enjoy...not meant to proclaim any big truth, or any such thing.... it is not personal to anybody...

This is a vid of the envelope incident: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3IjhgGR9PwTY, mszue and Krypto I guess I could not recall this because it made no impression on me as anything controversial at all...it was obvious to everyone Dr Bri won just from the fact Adam was assigned to give out the award imo... I did focus on the fact that the announcer forgot to read one of the nominees' names though...so that's how I remember that ceremony...

I don't get it. Adam was invited to the award ceremony for the sole purpose of making a speech about Brian, so obviously he had to admit that he already knew what's in the envelope, i.e. that Brian won. I'm sure it was done in coordination with the people in charge, which were not Mel B. She was just the presenter, wasn't she? Why would she care? There was no incident.

I hope that Adam will shine as a judge. Confident, knowledgeable, funny and tough but fair. Not interested in him fighting with other judges for attention. The focus should be on helping the contestants and getting a winner from your team. He has a music career and don't want to see him hated like Harry or Simon or Mariah or Niki. And I really don't want him to be the only one baited into petty fights with the ladies with Guy remaining above the fray. But my guess is there was always a plan to bring in the other judge and it has nothing to do with a challenge to Adam. So I will continue to look forward to his run and trust he will be great.

The problem with not going along with the 'pretense' of the winner being a surprise is that if that happened at a high profile gig, for eg, AMA's or Emmy's or Oscar's....just to name a few...or even to several of the smaller ones...the whole award show genre/industry would become an open joke and ultimately, fail completely. We know that some are 'real' and some are 'fake' but if we come to believe [rightly or wrongly] that if one is, they all are fake...there goes the value of the award altogether. No more award shows eventually...for good or bad... If Adam did that at a larger show, and threw it off like that, he would never be invited to present an award again...for fear of the same imho
