Talk:Spellbound (Paula Abdul album)

A mini-controversy erupted when the directors for the "Promise of a New Day" video chose to use an effect that stretched the picture lengthwise. Non-Paula fans decided this was an attempt to make Abdul appear thinner. The drama continued later that year when Abdul appeared on the MTV Video Music Awards. She wore a one-piece boustier outfit which purportedly made her look egg-shaped. It was due to a poorly-placed microphone pack, but that didn't stop morning radio shows from blasting her the next day. Abdul had actually lost weight during this time and she later revealed she had been suffering from an eating disorder for many years.

Keanu
''Music videos were produced for each of the singles, and all received heavy airplay on MTV. "Rush, Rush", featuring Keanu Reeves — at that time a superstar — paid homage to the classic film Rebel Without A Cause. '' "At that time" -- well, then. Is this a bit snarky or am I not thinking largescale time enough? 12.162.122.6 (talk) 18:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

The Promise Of A New Day
Someone has omitted Paula's co-writing credit on the song. She DID co-write it. I put it back in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilljayne (talk • contribs) 13:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

I have no facts to provide for the following, but maybe someone else has an idea how to verify it: While Prince is only credited as songwriter and producer (as Paisley Park) for the song "U", "The Promise of a New Day" is as obviously a Prince song in composition and arrangement as it gets - just listen to it! There are a couple other songs from this album where Prince might or might not have been involved - maybe he was just an inspiration. TPoaND, however, is simply a clear case. Anyone cares to investigate? Zeromant 77.12.239.113 (talk) 14:36, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
