I LOVE reading these celeb playlists, they usually make me feel pretty darn superior about my music tastes…but I'm definitely feeling the Journey that she included ;-)

I'm feeling a few of them. Don't Stop Believin' for damn sure. Brown-Eyed Girl, absolutely. I Need Your Lovin', yup. Even Since U Been Gone, which I think is a fun song to jam to even if the singing itself sucks eggs. Oh and Natural Woman is a must, in my opinion.

Daughters, well, ugh.

With the exception of a couple of tracks that playlist is pretty lame and predictable, especially for someone who has made a career in the music industry.

You can NOT go wrong with some Journey. I've actually found some good songs from a few celebrity song lists. But not so much here.

If I ever have to hear Pinks, Get the party started, ever again, I will kill somebody. If that's the right song, how is that fresh or funky?

I refuse to believe she picked these on musicality. She chose based on "message" and "idolness." That being said, there are some pretty epic songs that are killer sing-along-loudly-in-the-car songs. Don't Stop Believin', Superstition, Since U Been Gone….Get the Party Started. Let's get this party started, quickly, right? Go MC, go MC, go!

Oh come on, it's Paula Abdul. She is as mainstream as you can get. What do want her to have on her playlist, some edgy, hipster bands?

I would call Pink "funky." You know, if we're going with the "this cheese is like a year old and smells funky" definition.

That's the kind of funky I'm talking about. I only had 3 kids when that stink bomb came out.

Oh but you know what song is good, You dropped a bomb on me, baby.

Oh man, Pink! I thought it was the CC Music Factory song - silly me! I'm just a squirrl, tryin to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor! Come on say yeah, everybody over here, eveybody over there the crowd is…ok I think I am done.

Would anyone really expect Paula to not have a bunch of AI contestants on her playlist? My only surprise is that she didn't include Ruben.

Or she did and I have no idea what his song titles are.

For instance, what the fuck is "A Song For You" and how is a memory of "his first audition"? Is it that bald guy who was supposedly a rocker?

Good song, LisaNo.1.

Yeah … Yeah … Yeah
Everybody Dance now …
Yeah … Yeah … Yeah
Everybody Dance now ………………………………

I'm guessing it's Clay? Did he even win? Once they get past the funny sad auditions I lose track.

Aha. Elliot Yamin.

Ruben won, Clay came in second. But, yeah, I have know idea what A Song for You is.

"Know idea"?

So you're saying she pretty much has shitty taste in everything? What did you expect? Frank Black, Radiohead, Dali's Car and Tchaikovsky ? I would hate for my image of her to ruined like that.

Whoever sings it I'm pretty certaine we are not the You the song is singing about. It's probably one of her own. What was the last song she had out?

Oh shit, Kitchy. I'm tired today. You caught me.

Was Paula's last song, "Rush, Rush?" Because Keanu Reeves was so dreamy in that video.

Ahem. I SAID IT'S ELLIOT YAMIN.

Thank you.

I am the only person in the world who HATES Radiohead…fake plaaaaaaaaaastic trees….wtf is that about???????

Plastic surgery…

I don't like Radiohead. I don't hate them, but I don't like them either.

Nah. I hate them.

My sister hates Radiohead.

I like a few of their songs but I don't love them. They make me feel like I'm having a bad flashback when I listen to them too long.

"In 2000, Abdul’s Paula Abdul: Greatest Hits CD was released by Virgin Records (with whom Abdul was already no longer affiliated). It featured all of the "hit" singles as well as other noteworthy tracks. The song "Bend Time Back 'Round" had previously been heard only on the 1993 soundtrack for the hit television series Beverly Hills 90210. The album was not a commercial success, however it managed to sell more than one million copies worldwide."

There you have it. After Rush Rush came Bend Time Back 'Round of 90210 fame.

(Does the server keep timing out while posting for anyone else?)

The only Radiohead song I like is, "Creep."

Yes, it does. And if they didn't pay me so well to be here, I'd be pissed.

Ok yeah. I do like Creep.

I keep making sure I copy my post just in case, so I don't have to retype the whole fucking thing.

good thing we get those big compensatory checks cuz otherwise this would be a waste of time.

Not yet, but now that you put it out there it probably will.

So basically, contestants from AI have already sold more albums than Paula herself?

I should add Cold-Hearted Snake to my iPod.

In honor of Bunnie, of course.

I think Kelly Clarkson's career has already outlasted Paula's singing career too. I think Paula's peak years were '89-'92 (Bev Hills, 90210 soundtrack notwithstanding).

You can find somebody better, girl. He can only make you cry. Let me tell ya, he's co-cold as ice.

It's so cute that you called it a "singing" career.

Well, I meant as opposed to her career as a walking nervous breakdown. But you're right, calling it a singing career is rather much.

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run

I LOVED the Rush Rush video. I had an unhealthy obsession with James Dean at the time so the timing of that Rebel video was perfect

I GOT THE BULLETS!!

:-)

Well, Be A, I CERTAINLY hope you didn't pull a Megan Fox and have James Dean's likeness tatooed anywhere on your person. That is highly unacceptable, and almost as bad as having short hair. Or being Victoria Beckham for God's sake.

But not as bad as pooping.

All the above mentioned things are offenses punishable by being locked in a cold dark room and no tom-ba juice. The withdrawl effects are worse than the addiction.

Speaking of which, I'm running low, where's that white van?

What if Megan Fox shaved her head, got a tattoo of Posh, and bought toilet paper all in one trip?

I had the tat removed. I must have missed the short hair part? That's crap. Men are weird like that…been growing mine for awhile now and I want to chop it again BAD

Cord probably wouldn't think she was so "naturally" pretty anymore…she's kind of hot but beat looking too

Kitchy, Cord would send a SWAT team for her, I'm sure.

Hmmmm. Posh tattoo… Or a Posh & Goldenballs tattoo, that would be darling.

I like to call Megan, Agelina lite or maybe, Diet Angelina?

i feel like the actual angelina is diet angelina, and old angelina is angelina, and maybe megan is angelina with lime??

I should totally get a Goldenballs tattoo.

And post a picture of it right here. Bunnieballs would LOVE that.

Megan Fox is the poor man's Angelina.

Because even Angelina wouldn't do Brian Austin Green.

eeeeh heroin angelina might… for heroin.

Right. Nat from the Peach Pit, maybe, but not BAG.

So what is the worst song on your iPod playlist? I'm guessing no one would want to come to a party I hosted, either.

Whaaaaa, she did BAG? Remember when he was a rapper, ha, oh that was fun. Didn't he have an album? I wonder if it ended up in a sale with with Joey Lawrence (whoa), and John Stamos?

I would say mine, hands down, is "I'm the Man" by Anthrax.

Megan Fox is engaged to BAG.

"A Song for You" was originally recorded by Donny Hathaway…one of the greatest geniuses and saddest tragedies of 70's soul. He released a couple of brilliant albums, went crazy, and killed himself. His legacy lives on in modern R&B and a pile of artists claim that his work is their greatest inspiration.

(FYI - You know that line from Amy Wino's "Rehab"…."Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me/ That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway"…??? Yep. That's who she's singing about.)

Learn a bit about your musical history before you start making snap judgments, y'all.

And apparently, some contestant from Season Six auditioned with "Song for You." Chris Richardson? I dunno. I haven't watched the show in years…

So are the Spice Girls better or worse than Anthrax? ;)

MissV, I've already answered the question - her version, according to her notes, is ELLIOT YAMIN, not the original. Yamin recorded it.

Ok Kitchy, it's bad, it's real bad. Bee Gee's, Jive Talking. Or it might be the Abba songs.

Juju, I have like 4 Bee Gees and 5 Abba, so we're good. *lol*

Can you hear the drums, Fernando…

For me, I love them equally. But I have diverse musical tastes. Everything from Snoop, Salt n' Pepa, etc, to Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, to The Doors, and every kind of hair metal or thrash metal you can think of.

I just now realized that Paula's notes on Yamin's song pat herself on the back for "fighting for his success."

Is he really all that successful if the only way we learned the answer to who sings it was by googlign?

or even googling.

Even the one who proclaimed herself not rushing to judgement had no idea which contestant it was.

Right, like who is making snap judgements about the song or its origins? We have better things to make snap judgements about around here. Like people's shoes, for instance.

yamin is hosting a high school battle of the bands near me like next weeks.. hes really not that successful….

I just think of billy goats when I see Elliot, not sure why?

I need a Valium.

I've got some NKOTB and Skid Row, do those qualify as stink?

Although I suppose it's entirely possible that Paula's under the impression that Hathaway himself auditioned for AI and his success is a direct result of her support.

Skid Row, no. NKOTB, yes, but in a good way.

I swear she's not a drunk, either a pill popper or some neurological thingie.

I don't think drunk either. I'd go with pills too. She reminds me of how I was after some oral surgery. I had some good pills. I could walk in a straight line but I couldn't make a straight sentence.

Her condition screams, "muscle relaxers" to me.

i love muscle relaxers… mmmmm.

I definitely don't think drunk, I think that would be too obviously smelled. Pills. And lots of them.

maybe a little bit of vodka wiht a lot of muscle relaxers?

A spoonful makes the medicine go down, that's for sure.

I must have missed my que. Was I supposed to get my pannies in a wad when BeA said she hated Radiohead and tell her to stop making snap judgments? Yeah, I don't know anything about Mr. Hathaway and don't care…but I do have some Adam Ant on my I-Pod! Actually, a lot…

Love Adam Ant. I still have my Room at the Top cassette single.

We're just following ancient history
If I strip for you
Will you strip for me?

Seee, someone else saved their cassettes too.

Dude, I still have Purple Rain ON VINYL.

He looked really good in those puffy shirts.

I have Wham! "Make it Big" on vinyl. With a lot of other assorted goodies that make me smile and cringe.

It's ok bedbugs…I'm sure you'll have other chances… honestly I wish I could like them, I've tried.
I have Belinda Carlisle's Heaven on Earth on vinyl somewhere…

I still have "Prince Charming" on VHS. It has the best version of "Christian D'or."

I wish I could say I still had some random movie on Betamax.

But I don't.

My brother-in-law still has some of those obnoxiously large laser discs.

Good ole Betamax. It had a good start but was crushed by the vhs. I bet Beta had a good laugh when DVD's came out. Feel my pain.

Do you guys have 8 tracks? I'm a bit too young but I bet they were RAD

I actually had one. It was Sean Cassidy. I was very young, like maybe 6 or 7 I think, when he was on The Hardy Boys and I was in puppy love, DEEP.

We had an 8-track in the car when I was really little.

I was a Parker Stevenson fan.

Baywatch ruined that shit for me, right out.

My dad had his until my mom threw it out 10 years ago. He still brings it up, oh brother. It just ate all the 8 tracks. He had the entire Elvis collection. Well, whatever wasn't eaten up.

It sounded like crap too. Really slow and evertime you tried to change fast forward it made this horrible sound. I'm surprised that thing didn't just explode. Maybe it did. At least it was away from all humans.

Husband has Caligula on Betamax - he held on to it just in case he was ever able to find an old player. I guess when we start unpacking all our boxes he can finally throw it, since he finally found an uncut version on DVD.

That and the fact he was tainted from years of giving Kirstie Allie the big one.

Hey, at least she said thank you.

Now THAT was a random couple

I feel she owes me an apology for all the Jenny Craig commercials. Not to mention the bikini on Oprah.

I think Whoopie and Ted Danson was just a smidge more random.

I believe the hour that Bunnieballs and I lasted qualifies as "most random couple EVER."

And then he broke your heart, that bastard.

But tis better to have loved and lost, than not loved at all, right Kitchy?

Whatthefuckever.

It's better to have had the balls then to have been hit in the head with them. That's what I always say.

Hmm… I have a playlist for Paula. I'm sure there are many, many excellent options, including:

Crazy
I Believe I Can Fly
Big Girls Don't Cry (either version will do, really)
Crazy Train
Back in the High Life Again
Loser
Shut Up
Don't Lie
The Tears of a Clown
Give It Up

Aww. I feel too guilty to continue.

Oh I had them *and* was hit in the head with them.

Tears of a Clown has to be my favorite. I can just see the meltdown in my minds eye. I'm using my mind wand to picture it.

Kitchy, that may be what they call one of those, happy endings.

OMG lale you rock…Back in the High Life Again :-)

I'm going to put together a playlist for BritBrit RIGHT NOW!!!

Pardon me, Kitchy, for interrupting yet another private Mollygood comment party…

hey man nothing is private. its open to EVERYONE.. i think the issue taken was with your hostile tone, rahter than with what you said.

Ba A- I love it. "Everytime" would be at the top of my list, but I'd have to move it down, 'cause if I think of the words, I wouldn't want to continue.

What's that song "I get knocked down, but I get up again…"? The chorus is perfect for our little Brit Brit. Pissing the night away…

Tub thumping.

Oooh: Sowing the Seeds of Love.

That's just gross, but true. (If love=drunken, semi-conscious sex or whatever we can get done before someone vomits)

to be fair its a message board how can it be private, its not like we know each other outside the message board… i dont fly to tx, la, ca, oh ect after work (wait i forget… do i work..)

Breakdown - Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers.

Whatevs, April. You totes take Santa's sleigh and part with us all.

Everytime- BritBrit
Crazy Train- Ozzy
Puff The Magic Dragon - Peter, Pail and Mary
Crazy-Seal
I Would Do Anything for Love- Meatloaf (she loves meatloaf, the food)
Yes! We Have No Bananas - Ben Selvin
Lithium - Nirvana
Have a Drink on Me - AC/DC
That Smell - Lynrd Skynrd

Who's Miss V help me out here

someone whos apparently angry we have "private messages"..

whatev man.

santa's sleigh? good idea… guys lets meet in reno

Miss V for Vendetta?

Stars Are Blind. She'll need it after seeing herself Photoshopped on Allure.
I Wanna Have Some Fun
I Wanna Sex You Up
Let Me Love You Down
When 2 Become 1 (Should be reversed, but The Spice Girls didn't see it that way I guess.)

Perhaps Miss V is toggling between Mollygood and an old Dear Abby column?

(To 'Desperate in Delaware': Yes, they're contagious. Remember, a tiger doesn't shed his stripes.)

MissV, yesterday I said Poshy could put her book where the sun don't shine and nobody got upset with me…and this is like, her fan club. It was nothing personal or attacking to anyone…well, except to Poshy maybe. Nothing personal Poshy, umkay? (Like she even reads these things)

Vengeful Vag. I guess that would be VV. Oh look, I made upside down bunny ears.

It's pretty hard to be private when everyone can read. It's pretty easy to get up to speed or just make up something random.

V, I was merely pointed out that your point had already been addressed.

Well that and poking fun at you that you lectured everyone on jumping to judgement when your whole post was a jump to conclusion.

But you know. That's all.

Paula is the best! i love her. and FYI, Paula has sold 30 million MORE records than all the singers from American Idol combined =)

How is this a private comment party? I don't own the place. If I did, I'd definitely redecorate.

[...] Paula’s Perfect Playlist [...]
