Michael Bolton explains babysitting Paula Abdul 

In a recent appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, Michael Bolton talked about the time when he turned Paula Abdul's babysitter. He said that this his older sister was dating his band's guitarist and he was writing songs. One night they wanted to go out and realized that they couldn't because they couldn't leave Paula. Their friend's "baby sister, little sister," cannot be alone. 

Michael Bolton explained how that turned into the impression that he was Paula Abdul's babysitter. He mentioned that basically they were all stuck at the house. However, his babysitting days benefitted him when Paula became a top choreographer and her career eventually took off. He asserted that he gave her a call out of nowhere and said that he wants her to choreograph a video.

Bolton introduced himself but Paula Abdul didn't believe him. He recalled that he said, 'Yeah, it’s me.’ And she said, ‘This is definitely not Michael Bolton.’ And he replied, ‘Well, who else would call you a little brat?’ And she went, ‘Oh my God, it’s you.’ Then he laughed. And she choreographed the video and then she started having hits and it was just "a lot of fun," Bolton noted. The One Thing artist added that then he "loved bumping" into her in the business.
