Welcome to the official Paula Abdul thread, which has been created because this is a new era for her. I will provide chart updates, as well as news and videos. First off, here is the brand new video for "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" as well as the Superbowl performance!

Billboard Review:
OK, maybe Paula Abdul's greatest attribute has never been vocal valor—but anyone who luxuriated in MTV's golden era can't help but fondly sigh over late-'80's/ early-'90s No. 1 hits "Straight Up," "Forever Your Girl," "Cold Hearted," even "Opposites Attract" featuring the animated MC Skat Kat. Abdul's last hit was more than a decade ago, but the 45-year-old "American Idol" judge fires a bull's-eye with uptempo "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," the first single from producer and fellow "AI" judge Randy Jackson's upcoming album "Music Club: Volume 1." The giddy, beat-intensive track is an ace-on match for Abdul's breathy execution, with rapid-fire verses and a peppy, positive lyric: "I'm so ready to move my body, forget about all my problems/When I hear that song, I'm gonna lose control." With her beloved, sunny disposition, not to mention a Super Bowl performance this month and plenty of props from American's No. 1 TV series, signs point to potential for a fervent comeback. According to Abdul's Web site, a solo album is also in the making, due this summer. A real feel-good return. —Chuck Taylor
She's 45!!!??? WOW she doesnt look like it. Everyone older has been looking younger these days (Janet, Gwen, Madonna) and then alot of younger people have been looking older (Britney, Lindsay, and some others) I just realized that. lol. Well anyways, I wonder what her album will sound like.
She's not a known artist. She's never had a top 10 hit before.
But if you want to promote her, I don't see any harm. She's from American Idol right? Yeah....she should just stick to that. .
I'll check out her music also if I got the time .
Thankyou for allowing me to promote her I don't see the big deal in having a Paula Abdul thread, and actually, Straight Up, Forever Your Girl, Cold Hearted, Rush Rush, and Promise of a New Day all went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, while The Way That You Love Me, and Blowing Kisses in the Wind both went top 10.
She's not a known artist. She's never had a top 10 hit before.
This is completely on an unrelated sidenote to today's debate on the existence of official threads but I can't believe you just said that because you're old enough to know who she is.

So please, don't say Paula Abdul is an unknown artist until Jesse has a record that looks like that.
^Thankyou so much for that Paula supporters, obviously an artist who sold that well and paved the way for the lipsynchers of our time (Britney Spears anyone?) deserves her own thread!
