Paula Abdul - Vibeology (Live) (1991 Music Awards) (HQ) I - TopicsExpress



          

Paula Abdul - Vibeology (Live) (1991 Music Awards) (HQ) I remember back when this first aired; this performance by the cute and talented Paula Abdul was seriously one of the gutsiest I have ever seen. It happened shortly after she had been forced to defend herself to the press who were getting all over her for possibly using a form of vocal cushioning for her recordings to make her voice sound better (one TV headline had actually screamed, Another Milli Vanilli?), an accusation which Rolling Stone Magazine, much to their credit, had later pointed out in their review of her terrific album Spellbound was irrelevant because she has never claimed that her voice had rich timbre or power. So, during a time when the press were jumping all over pop stars for doing certain percentages of their heavily-choreographed tours with lip synching to help their physically catch their breath, lovely Paula dared to do this quickly choreographed piece LIVE with absolutely NO lip synching at all. And she does a fine job when you see just how much shes moving around here; Michael Jackson himself in his own concerts very much got out of breath in his own performances as she does here (watch the concert inckuded his his Ultimate set and see). I mean, its physically impossible to stay in perfect pitch when youre moving around this much. Plus, she had never toured before. And yet she was determined to give an honest performance. That seriously took GUTS, folks, and I still applaud her for doing to it this day. ;)
