[@lovethyself744]

Most underrated choreo in Paula's career man.. My girl doesn't get enough credit

[@JonesStrength]

REAL TALK!💯

[@UPBEATFOREVER]

Boooooo!

[@youvegot2bkiddingme133]

You got that right. She tore this shyt UP!!!

[@purejoy1985]

One of the greatest to ever do it. Paula and I had fun at the grocery store the other day. She was on the radio and I was getting my boogie on in the pasta isle all alone until this random lady needed something off the shelf. Initially she just wanted some sauce but Paula's music sets the party right and all 3 of us rocked out to Knock out together. If you don't lose 5 to 10lbs off this song, it's your fault and better not blame Paula!! She gave us the tools to stay fit. I don't wait to be invited to a party. I just make my own wherever I'm at. Nothing like a midday grocery store party!!! 👩🏿👉🏿🥳🤸🏿‍♀️

[@jenmodella]

BEST Paula Abdul song. Her first hit. My favorite!

[@cjturner370]

Yes it was It was released 1st but didn't do to much Then Straight Up Came Out which was released 3rd I believe And then they re released this and went to #1

[@damienjones2105]

I second that

[@jayman3379]

Knocked Out was a top 10 hit.

The best dancing and tap dancing on the planet. Still jammin this one in 2023.

[@algiethomas6905]

R&B Radio Played Paula Heavily First Before Pop Radio Did With This Classic

[@Dahverin-kk4on]

Facts..they also played Its Just The Way That You Love Me

[@breaknbeat]

Forever Your Girl was first marketed as a RnB album and people even thought she was black. Than Straight Up blew straight up then the rest was history.

[@davidmarshall44]

All you guys are on point with this one I felt this is the most R&B soulful song she's ever done My favorite one too she did a free concert Shawnee Park in Louisville she killed it and could move

[@malibupromqueen]

R&B radio did the same with Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" in 1990,as well as Lisa Stansfield

[@GQBlue3]

This reminds me of such a happy time in my life. Those were the days, growing up in the eighties.

[@rickster10969]

The first time I herd this song was going to North Hollywood to see The Blob remake with my baby sister and best friend. Fell for the song and Paula. Good times!

[@sandheden1429]

Paula kicks ass. Much, much better video than what the present day artists have to offer

[@jgsure2773]

nope she had 7 hits off that album including the song straight up

[@thatdancerchick8786]

Sand Heden back when female artists didn't need to show their ass to prove their talents

[@uzmakhan5362]

Yes right,great voice,Nice hit song and amazing coreography,i still feel like when i was teenager 😉si Nice time❤️

[@dennisvalverde3909]

I agree Sand Helen.

[@UPBEATFOREVER]

How dare you say that about Doja cat and Cardi B!🤬🤬🤬

[@ReginasRetroReviews]

I like that version of the video. Because it shows more of her choreography.

[@Y2Jin99]

Paula looked so incredible in this video. I loved her.

[@sylvialupehernandez9154]

yep it seems 1988 was much different then a lot of the other years within the 1980s, 1987-1989

[@DonG191]

I love this song. I cannot believe it only peaked at No.41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a million times better than all so called Billboard Hot 100 No 1 singles in the last few years.

[@WCD199317]

It's her first single and her first song that she recording of her career. It's before ''Straight Up'', her breakthrought single.

[@christophercotton9048]

This song should have gone top 3 at best!! That was criminal there.

[@chippedbz3973]

Now I’m in the mood to dance to 80s/90s 💃🕺🪩✌🏼💛 from McAllen, Tx 956!

[@rob41137]

This sound of this song aged extremely well! It could be released today and be a hit.

[@jesc8827]

It’s sad her team didn’t rerelease this, because they were caught up in releasing songs that would be number one hits at the time. This is a major smash, and much better than opposites attract and the way that you love me.

[@scottbrandts610]

Paula Abdul was where TRUE choreography was born, baby! Can't argue!

[@christinenewhouse1264]

Paula Abdul choreographed Janet Jackson video's back in the day...

[@DuskyJewel]

Scott Brandts Bob Fosse. Look him up.

[@woodyferrari1718]

Summer 1988...Cant believe this song came out 32 freakin years ago..Damn Im old !!! lol..but you know what? !!! I dont feel old gotdammit !!...lol..lol

[@nadinevelasco284]

One of my favorite songs by Paula. She was one of the best dancers out there. I loved watching her, her choreography was bad ass.

[@alexgogo9465]

Hypnotized by this choreography !! Who else in april 2020?

[@dariennedavis780]

PAULA'S BEST!!!!!!!! HANDS DOWN

[@thiinamaree]

I forgot how much Paula was a beast on the dance floor, and she taught Janet her dance moves. This was one of my favorites from Paula back n the day.

[@westonhuffman7908]

Wonderful 1988 classic!!!

[@johnmorales4404]

Damn She COULD DANCE!!! As well as Sing!!! Thanks for the Memories!!! Loved this One!!!!

[@jcreed09]

I'm exhausted just looking at this video...getting old

[@yrn4895]

This version showcases all the dance more than the modified video they released

[@beka2marie]

I totally agree!!!! I have always thought Paula was the best performer during my teens and still do! She's an amazing dancer... wish she was still dancing!!

[@jamercuryshohstopper4334]

Paula purring , body flying , clothes rustling everywhere . Love u PA 4EVER our Girl !!

[@rien783]

i love paula abdul. her stint as an american idol judge has completely overshadowed the fact that she's one of the best dance choreographers out there.

[@malibupromqueen]

her smile is so beautiful 😭💗

[@lindaprimasyamsir5650]

She is my favorite singer.

[@kayjay111111]

This woman can choreograph the hella outta songs. YES PAULA!

[@j3guerrieri955]

This is the best version, great pop song

[@theprolificnetwork4670]

Those were the days. Janet & Paula were my Babies mamas.

my favorite video of hers! classy Paula!

[@stevebradfieldjr8236]

This was the video that made me fall in love with Paula Abdul 😍

[@theseoulgoode]

yes, this is the version I was looking for. The other version had "off" editing. Well, the dance routine as I remember is from this version.

[@mom2babygkaterad946]

[@nyc78]

Love the nonstop choreographed dancing. You hardly ever see anything like this in music videos nowadays!

royston rogers Royston would be correct. It's Pebbles. Yvette Marine did sing background vocals but not for that song.

[@corycooldangerous]

carmenjones411 I wonder if that has anything to do with why they re-edited the video

[@go-goakins1489]

Great song & the beauty of a goddess!!! I ve been fan of hers since the late 80s !!🌹👈

[@nikkles76]

Love you Paula Abdul. So much talent and some people knock her down thinking she was on drugs and alcohol. Being in excruciating pain with plates in your spine obviously doesn't qualify and as she said painkillers didn't help her anyway. Amazing Dancer, Choreographer, ex-Cheerleader and Singer stay strong always.

[@walterortiz-nieves2480]

Another L.A. Reid & Babyface Production....

[@BlakReign77]

Walter Ortiz Nieves Their productions were off the chain! Still love 'em this very day.

[@walterortiz-nieves2480]

Me too! They've worked with so many others during the time. The L.A. Reid & Babyface team, where like Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in the mid-80's.

[@jgsure2773]

they did all bobby brown and toni braxton too their era

This original without the filters is a better edit than the official published version.

One of my favorite videos she looks great and awesome dancers 🌹

[@MrKortneyShayne]

damn pebbles i didnt know u had vocals and paula love the choreography in this

[@steadmondsmith5779]

Yes! The similarities to Pebbles do raise eyebrows: same urban dance pop sound by Babyface; similar vocal styling, and skin complexion. If Pebbles was a dancer....

[@itsnoahonfire]

Steadmond Smith Pebbles is actually singing background on this song. Read the credits.

[@assaultislove]

Dutchess80 Yvette claimed she sang ALL the vocals on the "Forever Your Girl " album in her lawsuit, right? Yvette claimed they used her voice and mixed Paula's in and she wasn't compensated fairly. I think she lost IIRC

[@jgsure2773]

nope Paula had 7 hits off this album including the song straight up

[@bmbxbts]

It doesn't even sound like Pebbles doing the low background vocals. And the only song on Forever Your Girl that sounds like a mixed vocal, to me, is, I Need You.

[@stickman1373]

LAWD JESUS, PAULA WAS SO FINE TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@msladytsunade777]

That's the ONE thing I loved Paula Abdul was, she's was never, NEVER filthy and nasty as female singers are today!!

then you didnt see the video coldhearted

I did. That video is nothing compared to now though.

I love this song it is my favorite by her thanks Paula.

[@cherylroberts2245]

Paula so fantastic wow so love it😎😍

[@Eric4471066]

This song should have been a bigger hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song did peaked at the #41 spot during the early winter of 1988. But the song did peaked at the #8 spot on the Billboard Black Single chart. After this song came out, Miss Paula did ruled the pop music world throughout 1989.

[@daradiant1]

They killing The Hilltop in this video! For those that don't know what the Hilltop is. It a dance where you throw arns across each other and your body rock along with your arms. Kinda like U doing a crossover punch without hitting anybody. Also, U are on your toes slight a bit.

[@blaze2001]

Never noticed how hard she is dancing, when you compare to today's choreography you be like DAMNNN!!! Paula was rocking off! The physicality and the intricateness is mindblowing

[@CJEdmunds]

Who’s watching this in 2020? 🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻

[@davidcoven9427]

I...I was so happy, that look in her eye and those moves at 3:05 to 3:15! Tremendous talent :) "is he lookin' at me? Cause i'm lookin' at him!' lol

[@daradiant1]

Paula is killing The Hill Top. For those who don't know is a dance step. Go Paula Go!

[@Stablemable2]

This is the version I was looking for! Its so much better.

[@antioneberry5278]

[@G4LCTC]

Babyface and Paula nailed this jam.

[@oldschoolchick]

Big hair, leggings, leg warmers and dance! Love being from the 80's!

[@walterortiz-nieves2480]

I have to say this & I have been saying this for many years she has a very close resemblance of Lisa Lisa. And this is one of my favorite Paula Abdul songs & the only 1 one song in the album produced by L.A Reid & Babyface😂

[@TrangPakbaby]

the definition of fierce? Paula Abdul during the 80's!

[@tashasvideos]

Lyrics... Oh, rock me Oh, knock me Oh, rock me Oh, knock me Oh, rock me Oh, knock me Oh, rock me Oh, knock me Oh, rock me Knock me Knock me Knock me Knock me Is he looking at me? 'Cause I'm looking at him Is he looking at me? I was in love the moment That I saw you I followed you through the crowd And I almost lost you I was dying to tell you But scared of your reaction But I can't hold back Because I'm rushed with this thing called passion You've got me knocked out turn me inside out It's you that makes my heart beat Hey, you've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt You swept me off of my feet I walked your way hoping that Maybe you noticed (Hi, hello there) I don't want to move to fast I don't want to blow it Never did I think Love could be so amazing But the things that you're making me do It's driving me crazy You've got me knocked out turn me inside out It's you that makes my heart beat You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt You swept me off of my feet I want us to get closer, boy I wanna be Startin' somethin' with you, baby My heart is steady knockin' boy you've got my body rockin' Caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O. Knock me Rock me Knock me Rock me Knock me Knock me Knock me Knocked out turn me inside out It's you that makes my heart beat You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt You swept me off of my feet I want us to get closer, boy I wanna be Startin' somethin' with you My heart is steady knockin' boy you've got my body rockin' Caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O. Baby Rock me Is he looking at me? 'Cause I'm looking at him Is he looking at me? You've got me knocked out turn me inside out It's you that makes my heart beat You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt You swept me off of my feet You've got me knocked out You've got me knocked out You've got me knocked out turn me inside out It's you that makes my heart beat You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt You swept me off of my feet You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt You swept me off of my feet You've got me knocked out turn me inside out You swept me off of my feet....

She showed out doing the infamous CHEERLEADER HELICOPTER...which is now illegal and I think is stupid for being illegal...what's cool is get 3 sets of them going and then toss them over to next group!

what paula lacks in vocal ability she more than makes up in visuals! she is so small but knows how to command the camera and make herself stand out. her dancing and choreography (i know she does all her own) is the best. why cant more artists now have her as a choreographer?

[@LaotianLover]

They are painfully ignorant
