Paula Abdul presented a show stopping version of her signature hit, Straight Up, on Wednesday’s Late Late Show, adding ensemble choreography and subtle electronic elements to the 1988 single.
Abdul – on-hand promoting STRAIGHT UP PAULA!, her first solo tour in over 25 years – also sat down for an interview with host James Corden, recalling how she used fake names and multiple outfits to land a spot as an L.A. Lakers cheerleader at age 18.
