Paula Abdul Performing At Super Bowl! No, Seriously, Straight UP!
Paula Abdul hasn’t performed (unless you call her blubbering and awkward giggling on American Idol a performance) for over a decade, yet for some inexplicable reason ($$$$) the organizers of the Super Bowl have decided to offer Paula a chance to perform for the much coveted half-time show.
The same half-time show performers like Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson (remember them? boob flash anyone) Paul McCartney, and Prince have performed at in recent years. Yes, it’s a totally natural progression to go from Prince to Paula Abdul. Why not? If we can have Britney headline the VMA’s, why not have Paula ruin, er perform at the Super Bowl.
It wouldn’t be so bad if Paula were performing/lipsyncing her well-produced hits like “Straight Up,” “Forever Your Girl,” “Cold-Hearted Snake,” or “Rush Rush” for that matter. But no, just like all crazy and self-inflated artist-types, she’s going to play a new song which a. no one knows and b.) no one wants to hear, rather than a hit that would have people dancing in mutual recognition and nostalgic camaraderie.
TMZ has a clip of the new single, “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” which sounds like a watered down, less than stellar version of a Nelly Furtado song, and was produced by none other than her AI co-host/judge Randy Jackson. To add to the nepotism and Hollywood circle jerk, Ryan Seacrest played a clip of the single on his show. You can hear it here.
I do not understand why music artists refuse to play what audiences want to hear. When I go see Van Morrison I want to hear “Brown-Eyed Girl” not some obscure single he did with the Chieftains back in 1988. No offense to The Chieftains.
Excuse my ire, I’m having a little episode. Paging Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil we need you stat!

Her new song is totally lame, she’s a mediocre singer, a decent dancer and a bit of a loon.
Other than that, she’s fine.
I am not jealous, but thanks for your concern.

Will she be performing with or without her orthopedic shoes and Prozac drip?
The only one jealous here is crazazy Paula. I think she’s watched singers go through on AI so long, she’s desperate to get up there and show that she’s still “got it”.

she is great

I like her song. I think that it will be a hit. We have to evaluate each singer/performer individually, so by Abdul standards its not too bad. Plus it is her first single since 1996! not 1993, my mouth almost dropped when she said that on her radio interview!!!
she is a loon!

I hear the new Paula Abdul song and its a greeeeeeeeeeat song to dance to and a great theme song for everyone. Whom ever wrote this thread, needs to speak to Dr. Phil and get over his/her anger issues.

And whomever wrote the above post needs to watch his/her mail for the check from Paula.

Haha. You sound like a complete moron. When you get anywhere near her level of talent or recognition, feel free to make commments about Paula Abdul. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid bloggers can be. You’re a fricken NO ONE!
