Straight up, now tell me…did Paula Abdul’s Super Bowl performance leave you wishing she’d put out more than just a single? Those of us who remember the Eighties (and still sometimes do the kitty-cat choreography of Opposites Attract in front of our bedroom mirrors sometimes…er…I mean…) have been salivating for an Abdul album since Cold Hearted Snake slithered off the airways. And those younguns who…okay, yeah, weren’t born yet (whatever) in the Eighties but have been Idolizing her for a few years would love nothing more than a CD to bring into their American Idol audition for an autograph, right?
