(Jan. 11) - In a major role reversal, 'American Idol' contestants might get a chance to critique Paula Abdul's performance for a change.

The Grammy-winning artist turned 'American Idol' judge is in talks to perform at the Super Bowl XLII this February, TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reports.

Joining the 'Forever Your Girl' singer for the football festivities is Tom Petty, who will headline the halftime show.

Abdul, whose success as a pop star in the late '80s and early '90s faded until 'Idol' rejuvenated her career, is also working on a duet with fellow judge Randy Jackson.

During her early days, Abdul had six number one singles, including 'Straight Up,' 'Forever Your Girl,' and 'Opposites Attract.'

What a joke. The shameless Fox coverage, using an honored TV event to promote their washed up stars from Idol, had her do a dance number in a music video. If that's all they expect from a professional dancer, then sign me up. Perhaps she was too wasted to do any kind of real dancing so I guess we are expected to cut her some slack.

Oh I forgot. There is a football match too. English bookmakers are generous on this occasion. I will bet on under 52 points in total. Equal odds in England for over or under 52

I hope she performs. Give her a chance, As in the Don Henley "Dirty Laundry" song "Kick em when theyre up, kick ep when theyre down" Just give her a bottle of Jack Daniels and let her do her stuff.

First off, as a child of the eighties, I would LOVE to see Paula perform. Second, to the person who said halftime is no place for has-beens, I have 6 things to say: Janet Jackson, Paul McCartney, Aerosmith, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty. That's all.

I think having Paula perform would completely ruin the Super Bowl....I don't think the Super Bowl should have has-been artists perform that are trying to make a comback....ecspecially when half the time the people who are performing and trying to make a comeback will never make a comback.

She is great .. so she didnt continue to sing but she left as a winner and moved on to something else to make her millions ... She didnt screw up she did better for herself ... YOU GO GIRL !! show them you can SIng and still have what it takes not like whitney or brittney ...

Paula is sweet as she can be but she acts like quite a ***** on the show. Anybody agree?
