And we think Stevie is nostalgic?

[RockALittle250]

Yesterday, Paula Abdul released a greatest hits album called Greatest Hits: Straight Up! Her previous release in 2000, also a greatest hits album, is called Paula Abdul - Greatest Hits. So, basically, she released two best ofs back-to-back and the only difference is it includes two songs that weren't put on the previous best of. I find that really strange because it makes absolutely no sense and is just plain ridiculous. If Stevie did something like this, we would all be outraged, that's for sure. Any thoughts?

right you are. I wonder if her fans are bitching about the lack of "new" material.

oh wait. she'd actually have to have fans in order for them to bitch.

oddly enough, I bet it outsells Stevie.

[carrie721]

thank god, now we know for sure that stevie is better than paula abdul!

[danax6]

thank god, now we know for sure that stevie is better than paula abdul!Yeah, you know... apples....oranges... :shrug:

[carrie721]

Yeah, you know... apples....oranges... :shrug:

i dunno, i think stevie loses points because she never did a video with a cartoon cat.

[trackaghost]

It makes me sad that someone as musically talented as Paula Abdul isn't releasing new material too. But I will cling to those two new tracks in hope that there's more to come. Hopefully MC Skat Kat will be involved too.

Ahem, "cartoon cat"????? You mean MC Skat Kat?
A little respect Carrie, please.

Me too. I think he broke up her marriage to Emilio Estevez.

Don't you think that in that pic Paula looks like she's removing the cigarette from his mouth so she can stick her tongue down his throat?

obviously ... and that cigarette is going elsewhere. MC skat kat is into some kinky ****.

i think the reason paula has appeared inebriated in public recently is that mc skat kat has begun a torrid affair with roger rabbit :distress:

I knew it!!!!!

What's he doing to Paula in this pic?


These lyrics reveal the truth!


I'm M.C. Kat on the rap so mic it
Here's a little story and you're sure to like it
Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool
With my homegirl, Paula Abdul

Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies and I like T.V.
I take things serious and you take 'em light
I go to bed early and I party all night
Our friends are sayin' we ain't gonna last
Cuz I move slowly and baby I'm fast
I like it quiet and I love to shout
But when we get together it just all works out

I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together cuz opposites attract
And you know: It ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together cuz opposites attract

Who'd a thought we could be lovers
She makes the bed and he steals the covers
She likes it neat and he makes a mess
I take it easy. Baby, I get obsessed
She's got the money and he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes (and) I like to smoke (oooh)
Things in common, there just ain't a one
But when we get together we have nothin' but fun

I take two steps forward
(I take) two steps back
We come together cuz opposites attract
And you know: It ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together cuz opposites attract

You know it. Baby, babe

Nothing in common but this trust
I'm like a minus, she's like a plus
One going up, one coming down
But we seem to land on common ground
When things go wrong we make corrections
To keep things moving in the right direction
Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack: It's useless, opposites attract

Baby ain't it somethin' how we lasted this long
You and me provin' everyone wrong
Don't think we'll ever get our differences patched
Don't really matter cuz we're perfectly matched

I take two steps forward
I take two steps back
We come together cuz opposites attract
And you know: It ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together cuz opposites attract
(I take) two steps forward
(I take) two steps back
We come together cuz opposites attract
And you know: It ain't fiction
Just a natural fact
We come together cuz opposites attract
(Chorus freestyle repeated ...)

oh, and for all you asshole naysayers out there, i searched through real estate records and found that paula and mc skat kat jointly bought a house in 1996.

And I don't care he has a wife and kittens now, she trapped him into marriage! He never raps the same as he does with Paula. He transforms her song. You should have heard Opposites Attract before he added his stuff to it!

it's true. I read it in some biography. and then MC Skat Kat threw Paula over a box of kitty litter and proceeded to choke her. she told him if he didn't stop that she'd call Arsenio Hall and he'd kill MC. after that, things were never the same. :distress:

well, Opposites Attract was the song he chose as his themesong way back in the day. he said, "if I ever become President, I'll have that as my themesong" - and he did.

Paula Abdul's Greatest Hits album is just a re-issue of the previous one. They may have added a couple new tracks, but it's the same album, same artwork etc.

[GateandGarden]

Paula Abdul's Greatest Hits album is just a re-issue of the previous one. They may have added a couple new tracks, but it's the same album, same artwork etc.

-Al

Alright...now, to be fair, the newer Greatest Hits package has the original version of a fantastic song--"My Love is for Real," recorded with this (actually musically talented) Israeli singer, Ofra Haza. The song is gorgeous. The R&B remix that appeared on the first compilation sucks. It's good that the original was remastered this time. But it's true--it's the same artwork (just switched, I think) and that's so tacky.

However, my understanding is that Paula has no control over this. I don't think she has ownership of this music any longer, and the record company is just reaping the benefits of her AI fame. Oh how I loathe AI.

Even so, there are plenty of talented musicians out there who have had their **** released over and over again with deceptively different packaging.

Note: I am not condoning dancing with an animated, rapper cat. That will never be okay.

Can you beat that with a stick?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v364/queequeg721/mcpaula.jpgOkay, I'll admit it--I thought "Prowlin' in the Night" and "Long Distance Rapper" were gems. But really, Abdul is so much more talented than Kat. She made him. He was destined to be a one-hit wonder, at best.

But "My Love is for Real" really is a great song.

Well that's just mean Jazzy, I expected better from you ... :(



And to the rest of you ... Paula had nothing to do with the releases of either of these best of CDs. Virgin Records put out the first one in 2000, two years before American Idol. This "new" one is simply Virgin trying to cash in on Paula's name, so lay off Paula.

And I'll say this, anyone thinking of buying it online, iTunes has it for 9.99 and you get the artwork via digital download just like Stevie's Crystal Visions. However on Rhapsody, the whole CD costs $11.99 with no artwork. And this "new" best of contains my very favorite Paula song ever "It's All About Feeling Good." It was never a single but it should and could have been. Anyone remember the Cheryl Lynn song "Got To Be Real", it has that same kind of "vibe" and it's awesome.

my favorite was "don't hump my leg again." i hope they do that one on their reunion tour. clearly, tho, MCSK was the artistic visionary of the duo. it was his idea to do that cover shoot topless.

Hostas are one of my favorite plants. I like the ones that are all burgundy and velvety looking. That is all I have to offer on this thread, except that I would love for Stevie to release some new material and I adore "Rush, Rush" the song and the video. Obligatory nodding emoticon to follow. :nod:

[GateandGarden]

...and I adore "Rush, Rush" the song and the video. Obligatory nodding emoticon to follow. :nod:I liked that song when I was younger. I tried to get into it again recently and I couldn't help but think she was singing about a guy (or MC Skat Kat) ejaculating into her. "Rush, rush, I can feel you deep inside of me" or the like, etc.

You like the video? With Keanu Reeves pretending to be an actor?!??

[Rickypt]

^^I was with my French partner at the time and he was back home for the summer when the song was popular. Being the hopeless romantic that I am...er, that I was...I decided it was "our" song. I actually barely remember the video, but I loved it in a cheesy way.

[Travis]

I actually became a Paula fan late in the game ... not really until the "Blowing Kisses In The Wind" video came out ... the flowing dresses she wore, the square mic she sang into ... oh how it reminded me of Stevie. And years later she showed her love for Stevie on AI, who knew? But I was hooked as soon as I saw and heard "Vibeology" .... "gimme gimme gimme gimme that vibe" - that is still a club favorite ... I get requests for it at the club.

For that I will always be in her debt. :p
