Paula Abdul is in the middle of her North American tour. However, the 62-year-old singer/dancer has been advised by her doctors to cancel the remainder of her tour after Los Angeles, which would have taken place from September 21st to October 26th.
It’s with an incredibly heavy heart that I need to share with you an update regarding some injuries I’ve recently sustained. In an effort to keep going, I’ve received targeted injections that will allow me temporary relief, but the demands of an entire tour is a different story.
After multiple consultations with my doctors and exploring all available options, I’ve been advised that one of my injuries requires a minor procedure followed by a 6-8 week recovery time, therefore it will prohibit me from proceeding with the Straight Up! To Canada Tour as well as the dates in Alaska and North Dakota.
I want to extend my deepest apologies to all my amazing fans in Canada and the US, you mean the world to me and this truly breaks my heart. I’ve been looking forward to the energy, love, and connection we always share when we’re together. I promise I’ll be back, stronger and better, dancing my heart out and performing for all of you very soon, to give you the show you deserve.
I am sure she will be Straight Up better after her recovery time and will be back to give our northern neighbors one helluva show.
Paula Abdul has always been a trendsetter, and now she is starting her own trend. She is wearing her bra over her dress. On her, it works. On me, my friends would say she has gone from a crazy cat lady to a crazy lady. Something my cat tells me all the time.
On Monday night, Paula Abdul filled in for Luke Bryan, who has COVID-19, on American Idol. Not only was she reunited with Ryan Seacrest, but Randy Jackson called it in. While she was speaking to her old co-judge, she called Simon Cowell “The STD.”
What does that mean? Is she saying he is like herpes and he won’t go away. Nope. The singer told Entertainment Tonight that STD means “Sexy. Talented. Debonair.”
Luke Bryan found out the hard way that margaritas do not kill coronavirus. That is because he tested positive for it.
“I’m sad to say I won’t be a part of tonight’s first live @AmericanIdol show,” Bryan wrote. “I tested positive for COVID but I’m doing well and look forward to being back at it soon.”
Since the show must go on, it will. “Luke will be missed at our first #AmericanIdol LIVE show tonight, but he is resting now in quarantine at home and we’re wishing him a speedy recovery,” American Idol wrote in a statement. “We’re so excited to announce @paulaabdul will be stepping in as a guest judge to join Lionel Richie and Katy Perry as we get closer to crowning a new winner!”
Abdul was the first judge to leave the singing competition when it was on Fox. It will be interesting to see how much things have changed since she left the show in 2009.
I am so curious about how Abdul will do. I might actually watch it. Are you going to check it out too?
Back in 2002, Paula Abdul joined Fox as a Judge on American Idol. Since then, she has also spent a season doing that on So You Think You Can Dance and The X-Factor. In December, she will be back in that seat alongside Ken Jeong, Ashley Tisdale, and Brian Austin Green on The Masked Dancer.
The four of them will judge celebrities as they dance in different costumes. Think of the show as The Masked Singer but with dancers. The only thing they have in common is Ken Jeong. I am going to say this, with love for him, but man Fox needs to find someone else. He is so overexposed that he is becoming annoying.
If they needed someone from the mothership show, I wish they would have gone with Nicole Scherzinger. At least she knows something about dancing. On that note, I wish they would have used one of the dancers from So You Think You Can Dance like Lacey Schwimmer instead of Brian Austin Green as a judge. It just would be nice if they all knew a little something about dancing. It should not all be up to Paula Abdul to explain it to everyone. I know it is not Dancing with the Stars, but…
Are you going to watch? Undecided? Then what if I told you that the highlarious Craig Robinson is hosting? I love that man and his humor!
