“Vibeology” was the fourth single from Paula Abdul’s album Spellbound, released in 1992. The Song was written by Peter Lord; Sandra St. Victor and V. Jeffrey Smith. The single reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Abdul’s first single not to make the Top 10 in the U.S. since the original release of “(Its Just) The Way That You Love Me” in 1988. Nevertheless, it still achieved considerable chart success, especially in the club charts where the single became a huge smash hit for Paula. Outside the United States, “Vibeology” performed very well, hitting #19 in the United Kingdom helping the album “Spellbound” to re-enter the UK album charts top 20. It also achieved significant success throughout Europe and in Japan (where it peaked at #3 on the international charts) and helped the aforementioned album to rebound on the charts (as the 3 subsequent singles to “Rush, Rush” failed to achieve considerable success outside the United States). The single also achieved commercial success in Canada hitting #3 there and remaining for 27 weeks on the charts.
The song was also performed at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. At the time, Abdul was the subject of a lawsuit alleging that another woman’s vocals were used on her albums; for this reason, Abdul chose to sing the track live. Because the song relies heavily on vocal samples and layered vocals, it is difficult to replicate live, and Abdul’s vocal performance during the awards show was considered underwhelming. In addition, Abdul’s apparent weight gain was mocked, in part due to a glittering corset that was adorned by a bulky battery pack in the back.
Abdul joked about the performance on The Arsenio Hall Show.
