Paula Abdul's Pre-Game Lip-Synch

If you just missed Paula Abdul's Super Bowl pre-show performance, where she mouths sings "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow," rest easy, TMZ has got your back.


The sugary pop presentation was pretty much a predictable mess -- including a Britney circa 1999 routine, cheesy background dancers and absolutely no actual singing. The best part wasn't even Paula -- it was spotting Randy Jackson in the background -- playing bass! Hello, Tito!

Where in the hell was Simon during this pre-taped madness?!

77. It wasn't a live performance! How could it be a live performance when she was then on the red carpet with Ryan Seacrest and not out of breath at all?! I thought she did good for her age!

78. So what? Jordan and Alicia keys also lip synched? where is their scathing insults? Paula Rocks

79. That was awful. She didn't even pretend to sing!! People got all over Brit for her horrible job at the VMA's but this was 10 times worse. At least Britney somewhat danced and actually moved her lips.


Why is she famous again?

81. I’d like to hear Paula sing live so we can judge her true singing ability. I think the criticism of Paula and Randy is fair. I find it very hypocritical of Paula and Randy to stage this kind of performance considering their jobs on American Idol are to find truly talented singers. They make people sing a cappella in order to even get a shot on their show. In my opinion it undermines their credibility as judges. It’s all about making money.

82. TO ALL THE HATERS ON THIS FORUM: It says so much about someone when in order to feel good about yourself you have to put somebody else down. I thought Americans were positive people who applauded people who show willpower and engage in "the pursuit of happiness", but I guess I was wrong. Judging from a lot of the hateful statements on this forum, the majority are petty people with nothing better to do than dissing people that are more successful than themselves. What happened to applauding people that overcome pain and bounce back and keep striving with a positive attitude? GO PAULA - you're forever our girl!!!

84. i hate to break it to all the haters out there for paula, but jordin and alica key's where both lip syncing to there songs watch there performances you can see at some point there mouth doesn't match the words,

so they all do it. and she hasn't performed in over 15yrs so i give her credit and balls cause i could never do that.
and i liked the performance the women is still in shape

85. GO PAULA!!! You're forever our girl!!! TO ALL THE HATERS: What a sad bunch of people who need to put someone else down in order to feel good about yourself.

88. I'm well aware her "plane crash" was over 15 years ago. She's always crying about her pain, but the pictures show she is doing very well-thanks to Vicodin!

89. Paula didn't even really sing the tracks on her albums in the 80's so how could you expect her to sing now??? They actually hired a real session singer to sing the lead vocal tracts and paula merely sang along with them and was mixed way down to hide her lack of singing talent. I actually missed the performance but used to dance and choreograph really well...she could never sing...but she danced her butt off. She choreographed for Michael and Janet Jackson...you can't take her dancing talent away from her . You know...Madonna is the one who started the trend of non-singing female pop tarts. She is the Queen of sucky no talent singers...anyone see visonquest on cable lately? She sang in a night club scene and it was soooooooo out of tune and horrible...now everyone who can't sing lipsyncs and most artists today, unfortunately have the look but absolutely no talent so they hide behind teh bells and whistles in the studio....that's why Paula did not actually do this live...cmon...you really didn't expect any more from her vocally, did you ??? PULEEEEEEASE!

Posted at 8:07PM on Feb 3rd 2008 by ....hmmmm
