Wow, weird. As soon as that interview was over the first thing my mom said was, "Is it just me or was her voice slow and odd sounding? It seemed like she had a swollen mouth or something."
My dad and I agreed, and I said "Yeah, and there were a bunch of awkward moments of silence."
So others noticed it, too!

Meanwhile, fans of the show have overrun message boards this season with commentary on Abdul's seemingly wacky antics on the show.
"I'm wondering if Fox is going to address Paula's very obvious drug and/or alcohol problems," one idolonfox.com message board user posted. "It's getting harder to explain to my kids why she is acting so sloppy and slurring and incoherent."
"Send her to a rehab clinic for several months," another user advised. "Give her time off to rest, to get off the drugs, to stop drinking and let her come back with a clear vocal presentation and clear head. Please God, please help this woman!"
In fact, so many users flooded the boards commenting on Abdul's apparent state of intoxication that moderators banned the use of the words "drunk" and "drugs."
After learning of the speculations for herself, Abdul elected to address the rumors in an interview with People magazine.
In the article, she denied suffering from an addiction and claims to have been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy that causes chronic pain.
Abdul, 42, said the pain began after she suffered a disc injury in a cheerleading accident at age 17 that was exacerbated by a couple of car accidents in the 1980s and a plane crash in 1992. Following the crash, she said she suffered from seizures, eating disorders and depression.
Last summer, she started taking the prescription drug Enbrel, which she said has left her pain-free.
"If people only knew what I've gone through with pain and pills. I'm dancing for joy at the fact that not even a year ago I was in so much pain I could barely get up," she told People.
Abdul said she had planned to keep the disorder secret, but felt she needed to explain the truth to her fans.
"It was getting ugly with the lies people were saying," she told Entertainment Tonight. "It was time to set the record straight. I want America to know that I have never been addicted to anything, no chemical dependency, nothing for recreational purposes."
Of course, there's always the chance that had Abdul not set the record straight, it may have been straightened for her.

I wonder what they drink while on the show. They always have those big Coca Cola cups in front of them.
