Paula’s back — for better or for worse.

I, along with millions of other people, saw her comeback on the Super Bowl pre-game show yesterday and I have to say — it wasn’t all that bad. Now, it’s important to note that Abdul wasn’t exactly known for her singing abilities. She’s not exactly Whitney Houston. But she is what she is. And her performance for the Super Bowl delivered the Paula Abdul brand, en masse. Yes, it was pre-taped and yes, she was clearly lip-syncing. But so what? The show was better than Britney’s at the VMA’s. She looked hot and the song wasn’t that bad.

The question now is can she come back and have a bonafied hit on the charts? The single ‘Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow’, is good but it’s awfully sugary. And I’m not sure that that’ll fly on today’s charts. Maybe it would’ve worked in 1990. But regardless, if she puts out a good video with tons of dancing and promotes the shit out of it, she might be onto something good.

I just hope she has some edgier songs on her new cd (which she says will be released in the summer).
