Ummmm....Wow. Hmmm...

Can we vote "None of the Above?" Can we have a write in?

I vote rubber vomit. While all of the above are enough to cause real vomitting, none are worth the effort.

[amber]

Oh, trackie.
Straight up now tell me do you really want me to projectile vomit forever?

Bob Fosse was a Broadway legend even before he died at age 60. In a 30-year career, he created a dozen of the biggest Broadway hits, movies like "Cabaret" and the autobiographical "All That Jazz," and television specials.

In PEOPLE magazine, Fosse once commented on Paula Abdul's choreography.

“He said that he admired my style as a young choreographer and how I have unpredictably in my choreography – the ability to turn right when everyone expects me to turn left. It was the biggest compliment I ever received said Paula.”

NOTE: Fosse said this in 1987, before Paula was known as a pop star. For Fosse to have said this is a big deal. Paula is ultra talented.

For you to even admit that is good enough, all is forgiven

[cliffdweller]

Talk about the lesser of three evils! This is the hardest one yet!

I'm gonna have to go with Paula just because she is multi-talented, I think. It was hard for me to choose her over Janet Jackson, but then I think Paula really had a hand in making Janet anyways.

[Red]

I'll have to go with plucky Paula because I loves me a comeback story.

[shackin'up]

one word: *ss

so I voted JL.

[Mari]

Janet's good. I just don't understand the votes for Paula Abdul.. multi talented? She - can't - sing!

I think by "multi-talented" they mean she can dance and she can say nice things to people on American Idol.

[Mari]

She's on your Idols jury?! Hehe, uh.. no comment about Dutch jurymembers.

She may be a great dancer, but I can only count one talent, then.

Indeed. Paula is a twat if there ever was one.
