This Complete List Of Paula Abdul Albums presents the entire musical catalog of one of the most loved celebrities in pop culture. Just about every human being alive knows who Paula Abdul is. Her work as one of the original American Idol Judges sitting in between Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson made her one of the most recognized names and faces of the 21st century. Yet, before her fame as an American Idol Judge began, Paula Abdul was a pop star in her own right. And yet again, before her fame as a pop star started, Paula Abdul was a well known dancer and choreographer best known for her work with Janet Jackson. Most music fans got their first look at Paula Abdul when she appeared in the Janet Jackson video “Nasty,” for which she also served as the dance choreographer.
Paula Abdul first began celebrating her own success as an artist when the single “Straight Up,” from her debut album had become a hit. Paula Abdul would release a handful of singles over the years from a series of solos albums, but her work with American Idol and other ventures seemed to prevent her from releasing a large body of work. To date, Paula Abdul has only released three studio albums of original material.
