Paula Abdul’s early years, according to Wikipedia: Abdul’s father, Harry Abdul, a Syrian Jew, was born in Aleppo, Syria, raised in Brazil, and subsequently emigrated to the United States;[6] Abdul’s mother, Lorraine M. (née Rykiss), a Canadian Jew, is originally from Minnedosa, Manitoba with ancestors from Russia and Ukraine,[7][8] and Abdul derives Canadian citizenship through her. She has a sister named Wendy, who is 7 years her senior. In 1980, she graduated from Van Nuys High School and was voted girl with the funniest laugh.[citation needed]

And now I’m also realizing that American Idol and X Factor have very few American born judges, I wonder why that is?
None of the judges on X-Factor are American, and only one (Randy Jackson) was born in the USA. I guess Americans enjoy having foreigners judge them harshly on TV.
WOW. I had no idea! I also thought she was African American. I don’t know if she identifies as Arab American but she is listed as such on the Arab American Institute’s Famous Arab Americans website:

At any rate, she’s not Armenian! LOL At least not yet! And according to Wikipedia, she is very proud of her Jewish heritage. As a person of Jewish descent from the Arab world, she is Mizrahi (at least on her father’s side):
