'Even her shoes are lip syncing': Paula Abdul roasted for Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tap dance

Abdul, 60, performed her famous song 'Straight Up' from the 1980s at New York City's annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: When you do something that not everyone loves, especially after being a celebrity, it may be great or very bad, and it's worse if it's broadcast on social media. This time, Paula Abdul, a former judge on 'American Idol,' was involved. Abdul took part in the Jennie-O Turkey Store float on Thursday, November 24  and during one of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade's segments, she happened to tap dance a little bit. This sparked reactions from online users, who voiced their thoughts about Paula's participation. 

During the 60-year-old Abdul's performance at the Parade in New York City, she sang her 1980s smash song 'Straight Up.' Abdul and her backup dancers performed a dance routine that started with tap dancing and culminated with an aided flip as they stepped off a turkey float while wearing a full-body sequin costume, as per reported by The News Democracy.
