She told DailyMail.com in an interview to announce her new partnership with the psychic platform, Psychics1on1: "I had been told by two different spiritual advisors and psychics that I'm going to end up doing a job - a show... '60 million albums is going to be nothing compared to a TV show that I'm going to be doing that is going to be a global success around the world'.
"I was told the difficulties of the job and who I'd be sitting in between.
"Almost three years to the time that I got this advice, it all happened with 'American Idol'. So it was, you know - it's crazy."
Paula added she was told during her psychic readings the show would turn out to be a "juggernaut" that would "transcend generations" of viewers.
She said about using psychics throughout her showbiz career, which launched after she was discovered by The Jacksons: "It's served me very well. I am just really all about spiritual guidance and these amazing people have helped me.
"Sometimes you just need a little bit of guidance and advice.
"It's helped me look out for things that I may have not even considered and, you know, I pay attention to signs."
Psychics1on1 links spiritual advisors and healers with clients via text, phone, or video, and Paula said about the platform: "This is fresh and new. It's a new take on how to access this kind of guidance.
"These are cool, incredible people and it's just it's a wonderful outlet I feel people can tap into."
Its co-founder Robert Earl said about Paula's involvement: "Paula and I have been friends for many years. Her talent knows no bounds and her love for spirituality is completely authentic, making her a natural fit for Psychics1on1."
