I'm going to see her tomorrow night… And this is making me second-guess my purchase.

[@katieg7216]

Just use her time to get merch and food. She’s not worth it BUT the boys ARE!!!!

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

You haven’t even seen the show. You’re judging based on what you see.

[@eggnog9090]

I was just at her show on Tuesday 7/2/24 and she was great. I don't understand the criticisms from people. She's 62 years old and is still dancing and doing choreography etc... It's even more impressive when you realize that she had at least 15 surgeries on her spine after being in a plane crash in 1992 and a car crash in 93'. She's had chronic pain ever since. Let's see if you or others criticizing this beautiful talented lady can accomplish all the things she has when you reach her age if you're not there already.

​@@eggnog9090I saw her too on 7/2 and thought she rocked ❤❤❤❤

[@ANDRESMONTES926]

Es genial ❤❤❤

[@seanp7dc]

Why have a mic pack at all if you aint singing?!

[@Bfettrules]

Appearances

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

As if other artists since last year used a backing track before Paula.

[@kennetht.6952]

Lip syncing? Straight up!

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

As if other major artists months before Paula didn’t do the same.

[@eggnog9090]

When you're dancing as much as she does the vocals won't be as strong. Lots of singers do the same thing. While I prefer live singing I also understand that the dancing and stage presence is a big part of what she gives to her audience. She was a dancer and choreographer before she started singing.

[@bodavis9586]

So I’m guessing her “production issue” is that the tracks weren’t working because she’s obviously not singing

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

No the production issues were all NKOTB touring crew’s fault for being late and screwing up Paula’s stage. Paula was ready to perform, the touring crew was incompetent.

[@mikaylamcadoo626]

Was this in Rogers? I was in Rogers!! ❤

[@Leomerya12]

I swear, the dancers spent more time lifting her than dancing.

[@jacobmartinez5461]

No stage production at all

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

It’s not Paula’s stage. It’s NKOTB’s stage. Paula worked with what she was given.

[@muzic4lyfe2005]

Cheesy choreography

[@shacks29]

Nobody wants to see a lipsyc performance its cheap

[@ehuffnsd]

no one goes to hear paula

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

Then you shouldn’t pay for the artists who do the same. Won’t says names who does the same because it’s major artists.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

@@ehuffnsdNo one=the fans

[@shacks29]

@@PaulaAbdulForever Nothing wrong using a backtrack or pre recorded vocals for a hard climax but a Full lipsyc performance is pretty low and Paulas Songs are not really hard.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

@@shacks29Actually it’s difficult. Some artists have tried it at their tour, but can’t match to Paula’s version. At least Paula re-recorded her vocals for this show, whereas other artists don’t. It is what it is what this tour. She was given what she was given with this tour. She’s not the headliner and tried to make the best out of it. If it was her own tour she would have done better especially the vocals.

[@NYUK-x-4]

One of the dancers look a bit too much like the character Howard Wolowitz

[@nickpavia9021]

I feel bad for the dancers. I'm sure they are well aware that this looks like shit.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

The opposite. They have praised her in their posts.

[@user-og2wt3le4j]

Nothing magic about this.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

To you

[@terrencegirard3031]

this is kind of lame

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

To you. Better than Paula doing recycled performances again. I’ll take it.

[@FacundoBonetto]

​@@PaulaAbdulForever oh god, you're in every comment, calm down.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

@@FacundoBonetto Oh god, you not realizing you’re commenting on my video, calm down.

[@FacundoBonetto]

@@PaulaAbdulForever your video? hahaha

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

@@FacundoBonetto It sure is Karen!

[@iwdws]

I love Paula but i just dont understand her sometimes. Do it well or dobt do it at all. Take it from Janet Jackson Together Again Tour 💜👍🏻

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

Please. Let’s not talk about the complaints some Janet fans have about Janet’s tour. Some admitted the first leg of the tour was better. 💜

[@katieg7216]

Same as last tour she was on with them. UUGH it was awful. To many minutes to count I won’t get back BUT the others are great!!

[@henrietakovacova547]

t's foolish. I don't think a woman of her age needs to present herself as better, younger. She should display values, even in her old songs, and if possible, she should rather sing than dance like a 30-year-old. Does she present herself there with her grandchildren? This time is a bit sad.

[@eggnog9090]

What an ignorant, sexist thing to say. Just because someone gets older it doesn't mean they should stop dancing or doing things they enjoyed doing as a younger person. That's precisely when you become "old" in reality because you listen to society's foolish and outdated views about aging. She's living life to the fullest. I wish I could dance like her. And it's even more impressive when you realize that she's had many spinal surgeries in the past due to a plane crash in 92 and a car accident in 93'.
