What's The Point, Paula???
Filed under: Paula Abdul
In addition to mocking Ellen DeGeneres, Divas host Paula Abdrool also insisted upon performing on VH1's show last night.
And by performing, we mean lipsynching, of course.
Check out her medley of greatest hits (above)!

she did a pretty decent job, actually.
Ahhh!!! Someone make her stop!
Perez, I don't know why Paula became the devil. Idol was cheap not to give into her demands. I love the idea of Ellen taking over but please, Ryan or Randy are worth more than Paula? They get a decent contract and Paula doesn't? Give me a break. The "rivalry" between Paula and Simon made for such great television… It's a shame the way the whole thing went down….
Did she almost fall at 2:45????
She's got nothing on Janet…Kudos for trying tho
SHE IS STILL AWESOME
SHE IS STILL AWESOME…………….
I loved whern she almost fell backwards ( 2:59 ) she caught herself but hay, it is all about paula don't ya know.
If it weren't for simon there would be a whole generation who would not know who she was . . . that is how relevent she to todays music.
That was a very embarrassing performance..OUCH! I saw her almost lose her balance and bust her ass a couple of times..OH GOD and the DRESS…PEREZ must have helped her get ready b/c it's a NO NO! The dance moves are out dated too…Poor Paula. Better Luck next time!
Her doctor forgot to tell her not to drink, drive heavy equipment, SING, DANCE or ACT while on her "medications".
Poor thing - she was just a sad case.
And what a pathetic slam on Ellen!
She almost busts her ass @ the 2:45 mark! Straight up now tell me!
Where's Ryan Seacrest? He would have done a better job!
Perez,
She stumbled and almost fell back at the 2:45 mark WATCH!!!
Too funny, Isn't she a granny yet?
awesome job, paula! who else these days can choreograph their own performances and still move like that?
Looks like she almost fell on her ass at the 2:45 mark or what that part of her dance…lol
I can't believe in a show that's supposed to show case female singers, they have her lip syncing! There's really no point to her even being there. She looked drugged up
God you are such a hater, change your name to perez hater
Medley greatest hits? why are u hateing on Paula you forget shes been doing this since u been in diapers
HATER HATER FAUX MOHAWK ON FIRE
ok, first of all. Please look at about 2:46 .. im pretty sure she just about busts her ass and would have fallen into the crowd but caught herself and then tried to play it off after that.. that was a TOTAL accident. BAGHAHAHAHAH.. and second, if youre going to lip sinc.. do just that then.. SINC. the mic was in neverland have the times she was supposed to be singing and finally.. Paula, i think its time to retire =)
Paula has to lip-synch, she never had a great voice in the first place. She was a good choreographer, cute, a dancer, with a decent voice, and they took her in a studio and turned it into a package… but actually singing talent? Doesn't have it.
Did she really start to fall at 2:45??? Poor thing!!!
Omg! did she seriously almost fall? seriously what is wrong with this lady? she always looks drunk. what happened to the old paula.
why is she carrying around a mic? why even try to fool anyone? it's horrible!
She did a great job!
I actually thought she did a really good job. When you do a live show you never know what to expect. She did her best of what could of been really bad. Kudos for her
Re: longjewishlegs –
I am with you
all else fails she can take her schtick to Las Vegas!
I just found out that she used to be a big star in 1989. It's sad that it had to come to this.
Re: longjewishlegs – agreed. and i think that paula did a decent performance.
Everyone Lip-Syncs nowadays. Paula uses the microphone as a prop…nothing more. It's bad lip-syncing.
Sucks ass!
leave her alone perez. what do u have against her really?
Ohemgee.. I totally saw Ryan Kwanten aka Jason Stackhouse from True Blood in the audience! Anybody else see that? Awesome…
is it me or did she look like she almost fell
Re: marleyindy – Yes she did !!! saw that too???
Pereze, I thought you were just being bitchy, but this was horrendous with a capital HO! Go back ad look at it. She almost falls and busts her ASS at the 2:40 mark!!!!! Hilarious!
She looked so uncomfortable last night. And what is with all the refrences to Idol! She needs to let go!
Hey she did a great job! Kudos Paula! Now I wanna unearth and listen to my Paula album. It's there somewhere in the basement.
It was awesome seeing her perform! She sucks nowhere near as much as you do Perez!
What a goof!
Seems kind of Catty to me! Ellen is a genuinely nice person and for paula to take a shot like that just seems mean spirited. Maybe the reason idol didn't hire her back is because she thinks a bit more highly of herself than the rest of the world.
UMM…. is it just me or did she almost BUST HER ASS? lol
OMG…poor Paula! She needs to give it up. Did you see her almost eat it? She can't even keep her balance dancing. Horrible performance! I loved Paula growing up and I loved her on Idol but I don't love her trying to revamp her singing and dancing!
I'm embarrassed for her.
If she's always whining about her back/neck/etc pain, and blames it for her drug use, why is she dancing?
Ohemgee.. I totally saw Ryan Kwanten aka Jason Stackhouse from True Blood in the audience! Anybody else see that? Awesome…
I saw him!!! He looked bored as hell.
i don't know if it was just me, but when she was talking didn't it look like she was on something? after the show was over i actually said to myself i just wasted 2 hours of my life on garbage. i miss the old diva shows when people who actually contributed something to the music world performed.
paula has remained sweet, honest and good despite her fame and success. she hasn't performed live in many years (methinks), but still manages to drive the crowd crazy. good for her!
it wasn't bad, she almost missed a few cues and you can see the mic away from her hand at times.
Who's the blond guy giving the "be nice to the old lady" applause? The Simon pictures aren't doing anything for the I-don't-need-American-Idol campaign.
Who doesn't lip sync these days? Anyway, Paula's music is fun, but she isn't really known for being a singer. I love those songs! i just wish she had done a bit more dancing.
WHAT IS THE POINT PAULA? THIS WAS SAD….LIKE SHE'S TRYING TO PROVE SHE'S STILL TALENTED. WTF?
This was 100% trainwreck.
does she or has she ever performed live? and I thought it was a cheesy performance……….. go away!!!!!!!!!!!
didn't anyone notice that she almost FELL AROUND 2:45 mark?!?!!?!? she tripped on her spin!!! she was probably so drugged
IT WAS OK
Good lord…they don't actually want us to think that SHE is a diva do they? Not in a million years! Her "dance" moves are laughable as she doesn't have many moves, her lip synching was awful and yeah…she almost landed on her ass. She is a total has been. All of those songs were horrible 20 years ago and they are horrible now. She is just proving that she is desperate for attention and probably realizes she screwed up her career by ditching Idol. Please…she is insulting to Ellen and trying to bring up Idol references at every stop is just embarrassing. Shut up Paula and go hide in obscurity please. Can't happen soon enough in my opinion.
she's the Teri Hatcher of pop music…
Re: longjewishlegs – No it didn't. It was old, tiring and childish on both of their parts. I hated their stupid act and cringed anytime either of them acted like idiots. Plus its always disrespectful to the contestant on the stage. None of her comments were EVER relevant to the person. She deserves to be gone. Ellen will rule and will be the best to have happened to this show.
SHE WAS AMAZING ! i LOVED ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

I thought she did great and looked great! Yall just haterz
That was difficult to watch! She really sucks and need to stick to judging tv shows from now on or do nothing at all!
She is so desperate…….it's cute
what was the point of divas live this year and last year's reruns hello not intersted tunning out i don't want this i told seventeen last year
not watching listing to cher's c.d.
That was really hard to watch. You feel embarrassed for her. All I could think of was the movie Sunset Boulevard and Norma Desmond wanting her "close up". I hate to say it but she is not a Forever Your Girl but forever an old lady trying to be young again. She could have had a much better outfit on and done the songs in a really tasteful age appropriate way, I really do say that with respect! When she almost fell I think I could hear her hip break, all she needs now is a walker and she can hit the road with Forever Your Geriatric tour… I know I am being mean now but hey, did she not learn from her MTV awards "Vibology" number back in the late 80's where that went so very wrong?! I guess not.
idc wat anyone says i loved this performance
I can't. I'm sorry.. I can't
The best part of that clip was Ryan Kwanten sitting in the audience.
i love paula , at least i m not loving ellen and hating paula suddenly cause she doesnt belong to the gay community you are so gheto perez stfu
She almost fell off the stage into the audience! Yikes. I'd love to hear what her real voice sounds like today. I liker her and Idol won't be the same without her.
yeah shes not a vocalist shes a dancer she would be a great vegas act…..and yeah she did the lipsynching thing but we saw this on tv for free its not like we paid more than a hundred to see her in concert and she lipsyched her whole performance like fucking britney does….yeah she almost fell but she caught herself not bad for someone with back injuries….and as far as comparing her dancing to janet j well paula is the one who taught j how to move in the first place….just look at all of jj first vids….shes lighter on her feet that jj and jj didn't sing live either so whatever people still loved it…i think all the queens, old schoolers, and idol lovers would sell out her shows in vegas if she did perform there
b glad when she vanishes completely in2 her pill/alcohol bottles nevr 2 return
that sucked
i just threw up in my mouth a little.
If her excuse is chronic back pain, she must have been really hopped up on
the painkillers!!!!
lol…epic fail at about 2:50
