In Case You Missed It: Paula Abdul's Lip Sync Extravaganzaaaaaa

Singing? Dancing?

Paula Abdul lip-synched FOR HER LIFE on American Idol last night during her performance of her new single "I'm Just Here For The Music (And The Lidocaine)." It might have been the Theraflu/NyQuil haze I was in, but I found that shit HIGHlarious (punned on purpose)! Even Scott could see that bitch was lip-synching. I mean, I don't even think her lips were moving. But the best part is when she used two mics to get the lip-synching job done! The "little vicodin pill who can't" was already wearing a head mic and then she scuttled over to another mic and lip-synched into that. Did Mel Brooks write that gag, because it was fucking classic!

So was that song actually. C-3PO sounded more human than that mess. You know Vicki the Robot is the real voice behind Paula's song. Vicki is the Martha Wash of the robot world.

How many of you were hoping one of the dancers flipped her ass too high causing her to get stuck in the rafters? One of the dudes should have thrown Paula towards the judge's table, because she might have knocked Kara DioLEAVEALREADY in the mouth, finally unlocking her damn jaw!

And I also loved Paula's final line before she left the stage, "Gentlemen, I'm just here for the music!" It is your duty to say that line every time you enter a room.

When asked how she keeps her voice sounding young In a drug induced stupor she admited "it's easy, I Pre-recorded a lifes work In the 80's and 90's"

Go to have a try, you may find your love or friendship there.

That was a song recorded originally by Kylie Minogue but never released. Poor Paula getting Kylies rejects!!!

And of course she is now denying what was reported in the LHJ article about her drug dependency.

Paula looks good for 50! Bet Simon hit that a few times.

Paula's skint and needs the money. She figures Shitters can get away with it so why not her? She needs to get along with her old ass.

Stefani should have lip-synched

I expected better dancing from "The Paula Abdul". She didn't hit her moves. It was half-assed. Boo.

I would totally expect Paula to lipsynch, but I thought it was pretty pathetic that she was doing that while every single other person on that show sings live. I do wish that Simon could have judged her performance--she would have totally deserved it.

More smoke machines!!

But in all seriousness, Paula choreographed some of the hottest shows back in the day so give her crazy ignunt ass some credit!

Here's to crazy cougars!!

Simon should have been up that stage, lip-synching to Paula's robot voice. At least that would have been entertaining.....

kanderso's picture

For some inexplicable reason, Paula's performance had me utterly riveted and it ended up making me sooo happy! It's like her happy pills were filtered through her microphone and through my television and right into my blood stream.

It could have been because I was drunk.

It cracks me up that the contestants have to sing live and Paula gets to lip synch because she can't sing a note. Shows us what a farce this show has become.

I dont' think anyone actually thought she was singing... was no big deal with all that dancing, it would be impossible. I mean look at Gwen Stefani (overrated), she was huffin and puffin out of breath and sounded like Shit. I didn't have a problem with the song at all.

No it ain't.

A whole show, yeah - but one song. No problem.

She looks good, but a little stiff. And the Roboto-voice effect is really played out. Try again, Paula.

I'm all for bashing one-note pop acts who have no talent, but this is not the case with Abdul.

1. Kylie fans: Tell Kylie to write her own songs and then she can stop Paula from recording them. The rights of a song belong to the writers and in this case Paula Abdul was given said rights to record this song.

2. Auto-Tune is not a miracle drug for singers. In Paula's case here on this song, it is used to create a lot of the effect you hear. Paula is actually singing the correct notes in order to get that sound out of auto-tune. If you actually were ever in a recording studio session when someone was laying down their vocals, you would understand this.

3. Paula, back in the day, would sing live over a backing track. Unfortunately in this day-and-age that is not expected. You should, however, be impressed at this performance when comparing it to your Rhiannas and Britney Spears especially who just walks around and lip syncs. At least Paula Abdul here actually did an entire dance routine at near 50 years old after not doing a solid round of performances since about 1995.

4. Everyone who thinks Paula cannot sing: You should recall back in 90s her background singer sued Virgin Records claiming they blended Abdul's voice with hers on several of the Forever Your Girl tracks. Virgin released the vocal tracks for the songs and won the case. And, if you need it, here is Paula singing live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mObUOqWEPuo

Hate to say it but she worked it just as good, if not better, than Britney.

Paula ruled last night!She lip synced better than any of those past icons that performed on Idol. Bette Midler? Sounded like she fell down the music stairs hitting every sour note on the way,Natalie Cole, God bless her and I hope she makes a full receovery, Diana Ross didn't seem to realize the song was over and she kept on cackling,Freda Payne gave me one,Tony Bennett, sounded like they woke him up from the 1960's, so many horrible performances to name a few. These are consimate singers and they don't even consider to record the song and lip sync?? shameful. oh and BTW Simon totally had a boner after Paula's performance!

"Didn't mean to turn you on"? NO danger of that, I shouldn't think.
If I was on that show and she was judging MY singing after that nonsense I would be pissed!

M.E.- "Rush Rush" totally reminds me of camp. And yeah that video- she and Keanu are watching a movie in a cinema or something and Keanu talks about being alone or some such shit. It was, like, KEANU deep. Like, Bill and Ted deep. He looked like very Bill and Ted in that video too. Def. a career highlight. He musta been a fan too. We all were.

Any experienced entertainer (singer) knows that it is impossible to sing and dance at the same time....no matter how great your breath control is...if these entertainers didn't lipsync...all you would hear would be gasping breath and lyrics not enunciated clearly

As Phil Collins once said: "If you can't sing and dance at the same time, don't dance!"

Kylie Minogue is a perfect example. When she performs, she stops dancing when she sings.

considering she is in her mid-40's, i got to give it to her. she looks great and dances well for her age...as for robot voices, that is the state of pop, hip hop music these days...britney,t-pain, you name it.

The Forever Your Girl record was my JAM back in the day! The Cold Hearted Snake video was my everything for a hot minute (literally). Watching this, what's mainly going through my mind is that I wish I had some of MK's NyQuil, because they don't sell it in my country. (I drank that shit up when I got sick in NY).

Get well, MK! I've got the flu too! We can be like Dorothy and Blanche and Rose fighting over the "heating pad"!

I'm so sick of Paula singing Kylie's songs! It's bad enough she won't shut up about co-writing "Spinning Around" and thinking she's the reason Kylie is famous. Paula is a loon who keeps effing up Kylie songs. >_< it's so annoying! >_<
