Paula Abdul, 62, looks incredible in a black leotard as she puts on an age-defying performance at New Kids On The Block's The Magic Summer Tour
Paula Abdul looked incredible in a black leotard on Tuesday night when she put on an age-defying performance at night three of New Kids On The Block's The Magic Summer Tour in Clarkston, Michigan.
The Grammy Award winner, 62, is the supporting act for the boys as all five members tour the United States and Canada until August. On Tuesday, they performed at the Pine Knob Music Theatre.
The tour is NKOTB's first in a decade and is in support of their eighth studio album, Still Kids, which they released in May.
In a statement, NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg said: 'Our fans know we love to bring them a party, and this tour is no exception.
The singer, 54, whose younger brother Mark was also briefly in the group, added: 'It’s not just a show, it’s an experience.'

New Kids On The Block is comprised of Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight.
On the tour, Paula is dancing and singing along to hits from her own illustrious career, treating fans to her smash hits such as Rush Rush and Opposites Attract.
She has released three studio albums: Forever Your Girl (1988), Spellbound (1991), and Head Over Heels (1995).
Forever Your Girl made history as the first debut album to spawn four number-one singles on the Billboard 100 chart.
Spellbound got her two more number-ones: Rush Rush and The Promise Of A New Day, tying Paula with Diana Ross for the most number-ones from a solo female artist.
Paula is best-known to younger audiences as a judge on American Idol, a role she was in for over two decades.
She has also been a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, So You Think You Can Dance, and The Masked Singer.
However, Paula got her start as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers and she soon became the squad's head choreographer.
From there, she progressed to choreographing music videos for Janet Jackson, The Pointer Sisters, and Duran Duran and choregraphing tours for The Jacksons, George Michael, and Kool & The Gang in the 1980s.
A real triple threat, Paula also has an extensive filmography, appearing in Can't Buy Me Love, Robots, and A Sister's Secret.

New Kids On The Block announced the Magic Summer Tour in November 2023.
Donnie shared: 'The true 'magic' of this tour is in the music, the moments and the memories that we get to create — and recreate — with our amazing fans each night.
'Feeling all the nostalgic feels of the original Magic Summer, with the bond that we've shared throughout the years, will make for a most magical time indeed.'
In addition to the tour, NKOTB are releasing a special 15th anniversary reissue of their 2008 reunion album, The Block Revisited.
In March, the band said that they decided to use the name Magic Summer Tour to redeem themselves for their performances during their 1990 tour of the same name.
Danny, 55, said on Good Morning America: 'I want to make the Magic Summer Tour our best tour instead of our worst.'
He also stated that he felt like the band was 'going through the motions' during the first Magic Summer tour, and that they wanted to reconnect with their audience with the current one.
The Magic Summer Tour (1990) began just a month after Hangin' Tough Tour (1988) concluded.
The tour was in association with the albums Step By Step and No More Games: The Remix Album.

Joey pointed gestured towards the Pine Knob crows as he performed with a scarf hanging out of his pocket
Jordan, the only member who doesn't have Instagram, smiled as he lightly held the pocket of his black leather-look trousers
Jonathan beamed as he held the microphone away from his face and just soaked up the atmosphere
The boys, who have known each other since 1985, cleverly made a heart with just their arms as the crowd roared
The show was a spectacle of smoke and colour and light and the audience couldn't contain themselves
The second supporting act of the tour is Fresh Prince Of Bel Air's DJ Jazzy Jef, who was in a rap duo with lead actor Will Smith prior to the show.
As DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, the men won two Grammy Awards for their songs Parents Just Don't Understand and Summertime.
Their gong for 1988's Parents Just Don't Understand, given to them at the 1989 ceremony, was the first rap Grammy ever awarded.
Jazzy and Will beat out J. J. Fad with Supersonic, Kool Moe Dee with Wild Wild West, LL Cool J with Going Back to Cali, and Salt-n-Pepa with Push It.
