It's all about the present, and all I could say for that is
Not gonna lie though, this was my jam
I have to say I was very dissapointed by Paula's dance ability these days...
I know she had severe back problems, she even got a lot of surgeries for her back (she said that in several interviews) so probably that's why she can't afford to dance like she used to.
It's like now that she's recovered from her surgeries , she can dance but she is not allowed to do fast movements or sharp dance movements or she could hurt herself really bad.
Like, for example, she can't tap dace like she used to :
She is a choreographer and beeing that she must have a lot of ideas but she can't perform them anymore
Then again, there might be another answer to why she can't dance as she sued to and why her dance movements are so soft and slow and kind of lazy... it's what we witness with britney spears.
She used to be so sharp and fast and now she ain't. And you don't forget how to dance.
So what could be the problem.
I read on another forum that people who take a lot of medication (against depression for example) or people who drink a lot (!) have the nerves ****ed up and so they are very very slow in their muscles and body.
Paula does have (or did have) a certain addiction to drinking or some type of medication. THere's no proof of it yet since American Idol, she was accused to have a drinking problem. But i don't think it's that. I think Paula is addicted to the pain killers she once had while getting her back surgeries. It was the same thing with Michael Jackson. He was addicted to the pain killers and that is why his moves were shaky and kinda lazy when he danced with justin timberlake.
