Paula Abdul may perform at the Super Bowl

January 14th, 2008 | Category: American Idol

Is it just idle rumors, or is “the nice judge” really in talks to join Tom Petty and perform at Super Bowl XLII on February 3? It certainly looks like Paula Abdul may just put on her dancing shoes and try to show Mr. Simon Cowell that she really can sing … and dance. Adding credence to the rumors are the facts that the Super Bowl is on FOX that year, and that Abdul is supposedly already working on the video for her duet with fellow judge Randy Jackson from his upcoming Music Club Vol. 1 album.

Abdul, 45, hasn’t had a major album release since 1995 (Head by Heels), nor a #1 hit since 1991’s

“Promise of a New Day.” Simon has given her fixed ribbing for her lack of a career in the past ten-plus years, challenging her on many occasions to shut up and dance (or sing) on American Idol, but she’s yet to meet his challenge. Considering that Abdul has kept herself in incredible shape, and more than likely can sing as well as she ever did, she shouldn’t have any problem pulling off a good performance (so expanded as she watches what she puts in her cup). However, whether she fails, you can expect the ribbing on the judge’s panel to be ruthless from here through the end of Idol’s seventh season.
