Have We Not Suffered Enough?

Abdul Looks to Restart Singing Career




Funny things in this article...
Abdul's use of the words: art, craft, performer etc.
Oh and now we have another reason to
dislike her: Kylie Minouge.






NEW YORK (AP) -- "I miss my art," Abdul sighs as she looks out the window, looking like a classic '50s sweetheart, right down to her flowery, flared-out dress. "The great part about who I am is, I came into this business as a facilitator. I was a world-class choreographer ... I've always been able to help mold (other people) into their greatness.

"But there is a whole other hat that I wear as a performer that I need to infuse a little bit of energy into, so I've made a conscientious decision that after this season, I have to take some time to be mindful of my own craft."

While her singing career faded, Abdul didn't go away. "I'm responsible for helping Kylie Minogue come back," she maintains while talking about the song "Spinning Around," which she co-wrote for the dance music star in 2000. "She couldn't get signed to a worldwide deal ... She entered for the first time ever on the U.K. charts No. 1 on a song I wrote."
"People say they miss me out there as an artist because I'm very creative."

She certainly is high on herself isn't she? Other funny words are "facilitator" and "world-class". :)

She defintely doesn't have trouble giving herself credit. Her speaking voice is unbearable why she thinks she can sing is beyond me.

Chelly, I forgot to say I like your funny words contribution. There would of been many more but I edited the article. It was just too much.

Thank you Jody (can I call you Jody or is it Jody Leila?)! In a way it's good that you edited the article, b/c Paula is just to nauseating! She was on John Stewart's show tonight and I just couldn't listen to her jabber on.

Oh no John! How could you?
It will defintely be the last time anyone sees Paula Abdul on my blog. She's like nails on a chalk board.

P.S. Just Jody is fine. Leila is my middle name, I think I was just trying to spruce up my boring old name which I've never loved.

i love your name, but i think paula abdul is crazy if she thinks she can sing. i had no idea she was such an egomaniac.

Thanks Jody! :) I agree with the "nails on chalkboard" comment. There are so many who could fall into that category.

BTW, Jody is a beautiful name.

Jody said...

Awww... Thanks.
You're a nice sister, a sister who got a nice name that is.
Ha Ha!

Yes, Paula Abdul feels very good about herself.
