Abdul's singing like there's no tomorrow

She blew them away (albeit after the fact) with a pre-recorded performance on the Super Bowl pre-game broadcast.

The video was a pirated Internet hit even before its official debut last week on American Idol.

The title, however, is a bit misleading. Paula Abdul's "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" is more about dancing like there was no yesterday. And tomorrow is looking more like the day before.

The new single, a collaboration with fellow American Idol judge Randy Jackson, is her first new release in over a decade. And it's good – even Simon Cowell says so. Sort of.

"He told me, `I hate you, (but) I love the song,'" relates Abdul, addressing the press in a Fox-sponsored phone conference.

Cowell does appear in a cameo tableau at the end of the video, alongside Abdul, Jackson and Idol host Ryan Seacrest. "He said, `I don't do this for my own artists.' And I said, `That's because they probably don't want you in their videos.'"
