Super Bowl performance

Paula Abdul pre-taped a performance that aired during the pre-game show for Super Bowl XLII. Abdul performed a dance routine with several back-up dancers while Jackson played bass guitar with the band. Although she lip-synced, the performance still managed to receive some favorable reviews. A reviewer from MTV wrote, "sure, her pre-game performance of 'Dance Like There's No Tomorrow' was pretaped. And yes, it certainly looked like she was lip-syncing Cotillard-style. But I have to admit, I thought she nailed it."^[2] Another MTV review was less kind: "The painfully '80s Janet Jackson rip-off tune and skinny-tie-era backup dancers made Adbul [sic] look like the Mrs. Robinson of dance pop. Judging those kids on 'Idol' just got a lot harder." ^[3] Paula Julie Abdul is an American, multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award-winning singer, dancer, television personality, jewelry designer, actress, and Emmy Award-winning choreographer. ...

In the video, the start shows Abdul and her dancers intertwined in complex poses. This then leads into scenes of her dancing and singing into a mic stand against a black backdrop with flowing red fabric. She is then seen singing with her band, with Randy Jackson on bass guitar. These scenes cut between Paula and her dancers performing routines and every so often graphics appear on the screen with a camera flash, framing the scene. In the middle there is a breakdown section, which is longer than on the single release version of the song. In the end, Paula is standing with the American Idol cast while glitter falls over the scene.

A second version of the video has been released with one minor edit: the American Idol cast have been removed.
