[@MatthiasHamilton]

The reason i love paula abdul is because many of her male dancers that she worked with at the height of her career from 1988-1991 who contracted hiv and aids... she took care of them... paid their medical bills, and paid for them to have home health care if needed... She is truly a dancer's dancer and loved and appreciated all of the dancers that lent their talent to her becoming successful

[@richharper3444]

Love Paula Abdul...anything she sings is amazing, she looks amazing as well...glad I grew up in the 80s!

[@ebonyrushharrington2197]

[@ebonyrushharrington2197]

I feel like she is 1-one of the best dancers / Choreographers, I really really like her look !!!!!

[@michaelhouston7950]

[@ErmitañoBand]

dance til lights goes down

[@ruicastro7930]

This was the second single (after the way you love me) , both flopped. Then virgin released straight up as the third single and the album exploded, especially in america, it had 5 top five singles and 4 # 1s on the hot 100

[@persverreguldbrandsgard4216]

WoW..! I had no idea..🤔 I Just remember ' straight Up ' major Tune in Norway spring of -89.

[@optimumreality9745]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@celebwrestling]

That’s my girl

[@kutupmusictv6409]

Her best song thanks to Babyface

[@BadTV1993]

Babyface rocked one out the park for sheena easton too

[@debramorales4283]

Paula AbDoable!!😊

[@lucasprata5482]

Don't get me wrong, I love Paula like crazy, but did she ever perform live WITHOUT lip sync??? If so I have never seen it.

[@Jiorgiapeach]

Yes many times. Check out some of the under my spell tour videos, especially the LA show.

[@vibeology9432]

Yes. She did rather well singing live. Girl can sing -in her special way Like a flower

[@ebonyrushharrington2197]

Example : Paula Abdul , the group Jade originally so so oh !!!! sexy !!!! : I have not ever seen so far an bad/ badd/baddd performance on there part etc …../ great job !!!!

[@mitchellsouphasith3763]

So eighties. But goodies

[@bsways]

She totally wouldnt be going to Hollywood with that

[@39Missmel]

She definitely slept with LA for that song originally it was for Vanessa Williams read LA’s book…

[@ayanp353]

No, she didn't. Neither LA nor Babyface wanted to give it to her. Virgin paid a lot of money to get the song for Paula.

[@BadTV1993]

nah.....she was getting "knocked out" by arsenio hall back then & she def wasnt a jump around type of woman

[@39Missmel]

@@BadTV1993 Straight up ( lol that’s one of her songs)

[@robertmas320]

Why singing with a Mic if it's playback

[@standaman1963]

Maybe it's just me but this looks like a Janet Jackson ripoff.

[@malou1563]

It’s the opposite. She choreographed all of Janet’s 80s and 90s hits.

[@ayanp353]

Well, she choreographed Janet lol

[@mitchellsouphasith3763]

Paula came up with the moves bro.
