Those who discovered Paula Abdul through American Idol might not remember that she was once accused of pulling a Milli Vanilli. My grandmother used to love buying the tabloids and occasionally she'd show me a story about people I liked. Well, one was about this girl who claimed her vocals were mixed with Paula's for the CD Forever Your Girl.

According to VHI, today was the day she sued Virgin Records over it back in 91. She lost the case, but I still don't get it. The vocals on that album were not that great... I would hope Virgin would've hired someone who sounded better than that if that was what they were doing. Despite the vocal problems, I did like the music. "Straight Up" and "Cold Hearted" were my jams when I was a kid. Who could ever forget that video she did where she and her dancers auditioned for a part and got all the execs hot and bothered? Now, that was a video! If you wanna see more events that happened today, check out the link above.

For all you Mariah fans out there, here is a link to an Island/Def Jam page where you can hear a new Mariah song called "Bye Bye". I just had a listen and loved it! To me, it's a great mix of the hip-hop sound she loves so much and the vocals of her old records. It's a One Sweet Day kind of song in that it talks about losing someone and not wanting to say goodbye.

Well, that's all for now. Check back next time for more. Til then, take care and "let the music play!"
