Paula
Abdul Fine With Super Bowl Lip Synching Criticism
2/27/08
Singer-turned-TV presenter Paula Abdul is unfazed by criticism of her
lip-synched set at the Super
Bowl earlier this month (Feb08) - because she is convinced she gave
the performance of a lifetime.
The 45-year-old's taped performance of new song Dance Like There's No
Tomorrow marked her first singing appearance in more than a decade - and
she was determined to prove she is still a first-class entertainer,
despite not singing live.
She says, "It's pretty funny to me. In the past, whenever I was
accused of lip-synching I would purposefully hit bad notes so that people
would know I was singing live!
"But at the Super Bowl, they won't let you sing live for technical
reasons. I was singing live over the backing track and I put a whole dance
production together. People were waiting for a disaster but I nailed
it."
