Paula. Paula. Paula?

By Andrew Belonsky February 4, 2008 at 8:02am · 7 comments


Pressing question: is this Paula Abdul’s voice? We think not. Regardless of who we’re hearing from this pre-taped Super Bowl performance, this track stinks.

    Really?

    I kinda of enjoyed the performance and I totally support an Abdul comeback…but I think it was super-smart to do this pre-taped and 100% lipsynched.

    She’s a train wreck, but that makes me like her a little more.

    She’s forever my girl (that was lame, sorry).

    I missed this, Glad you posted it. I actually liked it 100 times more than the halftime show which I think took the prize for most boring halftime show EVER. Go Paula! I like her sampling of Straight Up! as well.

    Ok, her voice is taped. That is pretty much standard fare. What I’m more curious about is whether the crowd cheers are canned as well.

    For a middle-aged woman who hits the bottle and the medicine cabinet so hard, she can still move. I assumed it’d be a lot like Britney’s VMAs performance. Paula gets an A for effort.

    I really liked this, actually. If it was released, I’d buy it.

    It’s a good track.

    Where to even begin? Apparently, “Dancing Like There’s No Tomorrow” involves lip-syncing and pacing for a bit while your back up dancers do all the heavy lifting. Paula basically faxed in her performance from the Del Taco drive-thru window where she has clearly gotten her breakfast, lunch, and dinner as of late.

    What was up with the dancers costumes? At first I thought they were wearing some sexed up version of athletic shoulder padding because of the occasion, then on closer examination I decided, “no they must be wearing school uniforms or cheer leading get ups.. or are those pilgrim costumes?” And then I realize it’s an unfortunate marriage of all of the above. When the costume designer should have just picked a concept and stuck to it, we were given this half-assed New England, school girl, hooker, Mayflower affair.

    It seems like Paula’s arms did most of the “dancing”.
