Go, Paula! Go, Paula!

[Big J]

She never was a great singer so what do you expect?
Just capitalizing on the American Idol coattails.

Wasn't she one of the early pioneers of 80's pop tarts who sang with what I call the "jail bait" voice? Most of them still sing that way, and Britney Spears is a perfect example... sings like a teasy, purry little 13-year old. I can never tell one from another, because they all sound exactly the same. I prefer real singers...

Paula gets a pass, though. I love her.

Started with Madonna.

Oh heck - I liked it. Won't buy it but enjoyed watching it.

All those great Janet Jackson videos of the 80s? That was Paula Abdul's choreography.

The woman is 45 years old (born 1962) and she looks great, even if she is a bit of an airhead on AI.

GOOD LORD!

45 ain't what it used to be, huh?

She & Mark are the same age ~ don't look it AT ALL!

IMO, she's like Gene Kelly:

Can dance her ASS off, but canNOT sing....and it's all good.

Yeah, what blows my mind is my grandma was not even 45 when I was born and I look at the photos of when she was holding me right after I was born and she looks old and worn out. Paula on the other hand has aged quite nicely I must say, unlike Farah Fawcett. Paula's a hottie like she's aways been.

Sounds like a flanger effect. Okay in small doses but horrible when abused ala Usher (acapella below)...

Domo Arigato Mr Roboto!

Hmm... Not exactly what I was thinking of -- it's more of a robotic effect which makes the transition in-between notes sound computer-generated or something. I hate it... Paula's new song sounded that way, but I'll try to come up with other examples.
