Vocally back in the day She had as much Range as Brittney Spears.She was also Linked to Arsenio Hall&She had alot of Success for such a Small Weak Voice.She was a LA Laker Girl who got a Big Boast from Jackie Jackson of the J5&landed Gigs given Janet Jackson some steps on Her "Control" project.Paula had a Little Run of Success&then went away but thanks to "American Idol" She is back.SHe is Arguably One of the Worst Vocalists I've Ever Heard!She looked Better back in the day to me.but As a Artist I didn't think much of Her.She has to be one of Brittney's Heroes.

I really liked that song "Rush, Rush"

She was married to Emilio Estevez. (everytime I hear that name I think of Night @ the Roxbury w/Wil Farrel shouting "EMILIO"smile

Heard "Straight Up" on the way to work today.

i knew the guy who died a few years back and he had pics of he and john stamos together in every way u can think of.

it was a passionate homosexual affair that lasted during the time john was linked to paula abdul.

when i was told of the relationship i didn't believe it but i am tellin u i saw the pics. and they were poloroids not computer enhanced in anyway

i like Paula - i think she's cool. True, not the world's strongest voice, but still. Good pop music.

Anybody remember her doing Vibeology on the MTV Video Music Awards? That was painful to watch.

But yeah - her song "U" is an old Prince track from the Rebels days. There's a demo of his version floating around on bootlegs - i've always thought it was a pretty cool song.

Rush Rush was a really sweet song. I still love it. If Prince happened to write it (I don't think so...) then he was foolish not to keep it for himself. Just like Open Book, Prince must've thought his ballads were too formulaic back then, giving them all away. When in fact, they were gorgeous...

Anyway, Spellbound was a damn good album (for a Paula Abdul record). Rush Rush, Vibeology, Blowing Kisses in the Wind, U...good stuff.

Forever Your Girl, on the other hand, is only marginally better than Tiffany's or Debbie Gibson's albums...
