abdul's "just here for the music" 

       

last night's american idol results show brought some surprises.  not only was last female contestant standing allison iraheta booted from the show, leaving adam lambert, danny goeke, and kris allen as the final 3, but paula abdul debuted her new "comeback" single, "i'm just ehre for the music."  check out the song above and her performance last night on idol here.  paula was definitely back to her 80s dancer self, with a highly choreographed routine, but she was breaking one rule idol usually doesn't allow - lip syncing.  but, what do you expect? the song is obviously computer enhanced.  i wouldn't be surprised if paula's voice is virtually shot - she doesn't just break out in vocal lessons like kara dio guardi (who is sticking around for at least another season).  i didn't really have a problem with paula, but i do have a problem with the song.  should a performer pushing 50 be singing a song probably intended for a 20something?  the lyric "sorry if i turn you on" or however is goes is just disturbing.  is paula turning anyone on? "i'm just here for the music" is the first single from paula's upcoming album hot and bothered.  okay, that's not the real title, but it should be.  

i may be back later with more.
