The Carey, Minaj, Urban, and Randy Jackson quartet is quite the odd one. On the latest Popblerd Reality Check Podcast, which you can listen to on this site , my co-host Tiffany and I discussed the judges and whether we thought they were a good fit. While our consensus is mostly that we didn’t […]

Lo was on the Today show and had this quote (as posted by the LA Times ): Everybody wants that definite yes or no … there are so many other things that […]

Jheri Curl Fridays Presents: The Definitive Guide To ’80s R&B: Paula Abdul
While she’s best known today as a loopy (to put it mildly) reality show judge, Paula Abdul ranked alongside Janet Jackson, Madonna and Whitney Houston as one of the biggest female pop stars of the late Eighties and early Nineties. In addition to her musical success, she was a successful choreographer, working on everything from ZZ Top music videos to “The Tracey Ullman Show.” I won’t ask what the hell Tracey Ullman needed choreography for, but whatever that was, Paula […]
