Paula Abdul - Cold Hearted (Official Video) REACTION!!!

[@shaythiasong8891]

Paula Abdul-Straight up was another hit song for her and it is another good song.

[@mzluna313]

She was a Laker cheerleader. She also choreographed for several Janet Jackson videos

[@jasonhitchcock8911]

Not just Janet. She first choreographed for the Jackson's Victory tour when they reunited with Michael.

[@matthintz9468]

She choreographed the piano dance in the movie Big!

[@spirittammyk]

She was also in Janet's "Nasty Boys" music video.

[@edgarescamilla2679]

Yes!!!! The dance queens of 1988 up To the 90's!!!!!

[@kc-jv1rn]

She also choreographed the African Wedding Entrance in "Coming to America"

[@lrsrosebud]

Paula started as a dancer and choreographer. I believe she danced and choreographed for the Lakers?

[@kimberlinibambini1968]

Yes!

[@RandomPau]

Yah, she did.

[@gregorioesparza5778]

And Janet Jackson

[@roberthughes2402]

And the dancers in the Arnold Swatrzennegger movie The Running Man.

[@johnreznick3506]

Yes

[@davidhunt3689]

Paula was the $hit in the day.

[@adorkability]

I don't think anyone would say Paula has a great voice, especially on ballads, but she was a awesome performer and her pop songs were really catchy.

[@sinenominecc]

That was fair.

[@anniesmolkin7685]

Yes…but nowadays she would be considered and amazing singer because the standard of vocal range it so much lower. But she was given such a hard time in the eighties that her singing wasn’t impeccable . But it’s not about the voice clearly

[@anniesmolkin7685]

When I was growing up my sister and I were always told we look like Paula abdul because we were the only girls in our school among our friends who look like her

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Omg this reaction. You make me laugh so much. Paula is the bomb, this song has always been the bomb. We all know someone who fits the mold, don't we?

[@shannonmaewesterhold]

PAULA ABDOUL choreographed and danced in JANET JACKSONS video What have you done for me lately! Not sure if you did that one awhile ago but it’s amazing!!

[@SoapFreak]

If you're doing Paula Abdul, "Straight Up" is a CLASSIC.

[@JEBsDailyDose]

Paula rocks! No one can out dance Paula. And she is still rocking the exact same moves in 2020

[@k.l2977]

Paula was a sought after choreographer for music videos, Jackson Victory Tour and did the same for The Laker Girls cheerleaders.

[@_blueskies]

How did you not know Paula was a singer/dancer? They mentioned it on every episode of American Idol. It's the reason she was a judge. 😂

[@iamangee]

I was in jr high when this came out. That album was a monster hit. Straight Up was the song that launched her though. She was a choreographer before this (and after), but she can be seen in Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” video a few years before she became a household name herself. I believe she choreographed the Nasty video as well.

[@kimberlinibambini1968]

And “Rush Rush!”

[@kristimarriner7673]

Love this video and song. “All the world’s a candy store, he’s been trick or treatin”.She is a great dancer. This video was kind of scandalous when it came out.Great reaction!

[@tammywatkins4464]

It was the start of showing a little more skin. Now look at today “no holds barred “ we wonder what’s wrong with our youth!!

[@azdemgal]

@Tammy Watkins I personally would rather my grandchildren watch skin than all the violence. Nothing wrong with the human body, it is a beautiful canvas

[@tammywatkins4464]

azdemgal my point is back in those days things were a little bit more discreet. People could use there imagination. These days everything is hanging out, displayed, the body is used as rude, crude and distasteful for shock value! I just think the youth today. The Innocence is lost.

[@azdemgal]

@ Tammy Watkins , I hear ya and agree there is little left to the imagination and if done tastefully I see no problem but if for shock value instead of art then I would agree.

[@antoinettelopes]

This is my favorite Paula Abdul song. When "American Idol" first came on none of us knew who Simon Cowell or Randy Jackson were. Paula was the famous one. She had a lot of hits and choreographed for a lot of people. She actually did the choreography for the "Wild Boys" video you just reacted to by Duran Duran. As far as Uncle Jesse goes, if you grew up watching "Full House" you probably saw a poster of Paula Abdul on the girls' bedroom wall. Everyone at the time knew that was a nod to John Stamos' relationship with Paula.

[@jobjock]

The guy/guy couple dancing was groundbreaking at the time.

[@wallacelambert9308]

Paula Abdul also choreographed The synchronized steps of ZZ TOPS stage act. Try "straight up" by Paula

[@christinamitchell6796]

She did her thing on this one of my favorites by paula.

[@ramondwilliam1307]

Even us in the metal music world noticed Paula Abdul lol.

[@nestea8385]

Look at J Lo, Janet Jackson, or Beyounce. You can see where they got their moves from. Paula paved the way for them all.

[@Stevieweevietv]

Oh how I loved the Forever Your Girl album when I was 14 years old. This track was one of my favourites. Together with Knocked Out and the magnificent pop of Straight Up. She had sass!!! Martika and Karyn White were two other pop artists I was a huge fan of at the same time. I miss those times!

[@noelleparris9451]

Karyn White👏🏽👏🏽

[@le2800]

Martika! Toy Soldier. Wow! You are bringing back the memories.

[@Leon-wz1js]

Paula Abdul was a choreographer who guided most singers in their music videos. She worked with Wil Smith, Duran Duran, and many others. She got noticed by singing backup/dancing in Janet Jackson's "Nasty Boys" and she was used extensively in Michael Jackson's videos. Michael had his own flair, but Paula helped background dancers.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Paula is a dancer/choreographer who can carry a tune in rhythm. Wouldn't necessarily classify or label her a 'siinger', but she sure got her shine in the pop world. And that was after she put her stamp on Janet Jackson's career after working as captain of the L.A. Lakers cheerleaders. Add on American Idol, Paula has sure carved out her own place in the game, no doubt.

[@dawggirl]

Not only did I thoroughly enjoy your reaction, you brought back my love for this song, this video and Paula herself. It came out when I was in 8th grade I think, so I probably missed the truer hidden meaning. I just thought it was kickass dance song. The choreography was just fire. Definitely my favorite of hers.

[@wendydotson8891]

Not only did paula abdual choreograph for Janet jackson she also worked with Michael Jackson. She definitely earned her American idol credentials in the 80’s and 90’s. My favorite songs of hers are straight up and opposites attract.

[@BillPresson]

Ms Paula doesn’t seem to age.

[@mamalook99]

Paula was Dancer singer so very small TNT. She did this song on The Show " Lip Sync Battle "It was Awesome With Jenna Dewan Actor@

[@MsToye77]

I saw her in concert & what a production. Definitely in my top 5 concerts, & I’ve seen many of them.

[@nicoleES-5678]

Paula was an amazing dancer/choreographer and singer! She was a Laker Girl back in the day, and also choreographed for the Lakers, Janet Jackson, and so much more...she is a Queen!

[@randomlibra]

You are so infectious. I love your reactions. Born in 92? Way to make me feel old. Graduated High School that year LOL. But it was a damn good era for music!

[@lauraclark92]

Same! we're probably the same age or close, I graduated in 1992 also.

[@andrewbarnett84]

Loved to dance for Paula, (in my fantasies, at least). In the years I danced in pubs and clubs Paula was my inspiration and got me expanding my range. Her smile just wow.

[@rockalittl]

One of my faves from Paula back in the day...that instrumental breakdown....yeeeesss.

[@jackie_jrml]

Girl this is my favorite video choreography. This and Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson. 👌🏼 When the violins come in and they’re all in sync on the main floor.. ugh so good. You stopped it so much lol. I was 10 when Straight Up came out in 88 and I was in love. I loved dancing so I wanted to be her. Lol 😂

[@lianabaddley8217]

I know recently as in last 3 years some time. She did a compilation of her songs on one of the award ceremony's. She sang and did all her original dances! Everyone in the audience was completely amazed! Thought for sure she was just to old to be doing her thang! She is still amazing!

[@sersastark]

she's a choreographer, singer, actress, and she choreographed all of Janets earlier videos (control, pleasure principal, rhythm nation albums) as well as she did the choreo for the entry of the African dancers in Coming to America.

[@harriettholmes539]

I enjoyed watching your reactions! I like your Facial expressions...so cute watching your reactions on different songs. You bring the vibe on with your reactions. Make one want to move right along with you.💃💃😊

[@sombergirl2886]

I have always loved this song & all the dancing in the video is absolutely amazing they all did great

[@krystlemurphy8514]

I lived for Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson in the 90s 😊 Definitely react to more Paula...try Straight Up

[@D3Hearts]

She was a choreographer for The Jacksons, head choreographer for The Lakers.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

Paula Abdul started as a Laker Girl and then a choreographer for acts like Janet Jackson, the Jackson’s, and many more! You can even see her in a few of Janets videos! She had a string of hits in the late eighties and early nineties!!❤️❤️

[@jaimereynolds258]

Have always loved this song! I probably listen to it a few times a month lol

[@kristideanda9293]

This video was awesome and we never saw anything like this before.

[@trekboy02]

More Paula please. :)

[@DiscoDee74]

This video always gives me life! One of my favorite dance videos!

[@pauld6967]

Paula's "Spellbound" tour was the first concert I took a date to. Enjoy her songs with 'Straight Up' being my favorite. This song got me semi-playfully teased with the "she's singing about you" accusation when it came out. LOL

[@user-wynter75]

Paula was the head choreographer for the Lakers and a load of artists as well as a singer. She was involved in a bus crash in the late 80,s or 90,s suffering a fractured spine if I remember correctly. It didn't stop her and she is still one of my favourite female artists of all time. I remember being her first album on cassette tape a long time ago.

[@pjsin9472]

LA Lakers baby! She was so beautiful. She still is. She was married to my favorite actor when I was a kid, Emilio Estevez

[@tammywatkins4464]

Really? I can’t see them together...wow

[@laminage]

This also was a Video paying Homage to Bob Fosse who is considered to be next to Jerome Robbins one of Broadway's Greatest Choreographers for Musicals. He Danced in Movies like My Sister Eileen, The Pyjama Game and Babes In Toyland. He later did The Choreography for "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying", which was considered to be one of the many inspirations for Mad Men. This was based on The Movie All That Jazz where Joe Gideon is showing his Latest Musical Production to his Investors. Others who were influenced by him were Michael Jackson (Billie Jean Motown 25) and even Beyonce "Put A Ring On It" when she paid homage to a Dance Number called "The Rich Man's Frug". Bob also discovered Ben Vereen and Debbie Allen. American Idol was a major comeback for her.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

This was my favorite video! I was so jealous because I couldn't dance like that. "Forever Your Girl" next.

[@cortneyperfume_madness480]

Love Paula Abdul!

[@harriettholmes539]

Paula was always a ball of...🔥 full of energy. She was Janet Jackson personal choreographer back in the days....you will see Janet making same moves as Paul. They are still good friends.

[@efcruzado]

At her peak, Paula was the #1 artist in the world! She was mentioned in the same breath as Mariah, Whitney, Janet and Madonna.

[@filmgirlLisa]

Love your reactions! but you were KILLING me with the starts and stops! hahaha...that choreo you gotta let something like that play through and take it in ❤️

[@lonniekiser3612]

Love it u get into the music young Lady, SMILE IT GREAT

[@calme-dx2dp]

It is sort of a tribute to dancer/choreographer Bob Fosse

[@sweeeetkraft]

Paula Abdul was originally a cheerleader for he LA Lakers, and after she had been with them for a year she became the Lakers Head Choreographer. She then went on to create choreography for the Jacksons, movies, and even made her own fitness/dance workout videos. In 1988, she released her debut album "Forever Your Girl".

[@45vixxen]

Phenomenal singer and choreographer

[@caylapelkey3305]

First time I heard this album was on my mama's cassette tape, takes me back, love it!

[@JessieMouse8]

This was my favorite video by Paula. I LOVE the choreography sooooo much!

[@cookypuss8603]

She also dated Arsenio Hall and Emilio Estevez. As a teen in the late 80's and early 90's she was the pop star i crushed on.

[@btchnotme1587]

Paula and Emilio were married from 1992 - 1994.

[@mannydem1]

India! Thanks for reacting to my Girl Paula Abdul. Please react to Straight Up, Opposites Attract and The way that you love me (version#1) I Love all of your reaction! Shout out from Trenton NJ :O)

[@allisonyoung4007]

This video was a tribute to the late great Broadway choreographer bad boy Bob Fosse! This is his famed sexy dance style! His shows included "Chicago" & the bio- pic "All That Jazz".

[@noelleparris9451]

Fun to watch your reactions 😊 And I used to like Paula back in the day. Great talent. "Opposites Attract" and "Straight Up" should be on your list.

[@bethanythatsme]

This was considered SO CONTROVERSIAL!!! sending love from Oregon 🌊🌲❤

[@jaylenearagon321]

She was my idol. I wanted to be a dance choreographer when I was a kid..a big dream. I taught dance routines for money to friends in high school

[@matthintz9468]

My favorite by her!

[@rburn6677]

Love Paula Abdul. People diss her but the woman has talent. She was in the Janet Jackson's video "What have you done for me lately?" She was one of her girlfriends in the beginning of the video. She also choreographed the video.

[@irenemichelleanne]

lol totally a childhood favorite of mine.... oh and your reaction to this video was priceless! lol

[@tiffanyeyoung1800]

My favorite video. She's a brilliant choreographer. This is also her tribute to the late Bob Fosse

[@fnjesusfreak]

You can see her roots here. She started out as a cheerleader, then went on to become a choreographer (she did a few videos for Janet Jackson) then moved into the music scene behind Janet.

[@lisabernthal4373]

LOVE this song.

[@maribiddle5859]

From backup dancer for Janet Jackson to today... this girl is the stuff! This choreography is on point!

[@farimahdilmaghani5751]

I love your reactions, thanks you are so cool

[@m3li55a5]

Girl, you are killing it with the ‘80’s music today! I love it! Very nostalgic. Maybe you can do some old school 90’s pop or R&B next like “Anniversary” byTony Toni Tone?

[@nunyafinbiz]

Jenna Dewan did this for Lip Sync Battle and her dancing was just as on point... I love this song lol I remember getting the cassette for my 10th birthday...I still miss the smell of a brand new cassette tape...

[@Kanieht.L]

I love your channel .... brings me back to my younger days with alot of the videos you react to .... was born in the 70's and miss the days of my generations music ... grew up to the 80's and 90's music .. but also grew up with my parents and grandparents music ... and I absolutely love and prefer the music from the late 40's to the 90's in just about every genre ...

[@MsToye77]

She’s a great choreographer too.

[@hutchu1]

How do people not know she sings. I still have her CDs and cassettes.

[@1972myc]

Paula Abdul was a good singer and a professional dancer, choriogrpher for Janet Jackson and Lakers Cheerleader before her fame!

[@MonkeyFace544]

Love Paula.

[@klb9142]

@India Reacts Paula also choreographed the dance scenes in The Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America.

[@willE84]

Btw...didn't watch the video(yet) but saw you did The Jets "Make It Real" and been singing it all morning. Glad I was the only in the laundromat this morning lol.

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

for a few years she gave Madonna and Janet a run for their money. she was hugely popular.

[@ZacharyJPearse]

Paula choreographed this video and she also choreographed Janet Jackson’s Control era. Please react to Paula Abdul “The Way That You Love Me” from the 1990 AMAs

[@ChefDuJour78]

Paula was one of the 80s biggest stars.

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Love this song and video since early childhood

[@laticiadavis8627]

This was my favorite paula video,she choreographed a few of Janet Jackson's videos.and J-low paid homage to this video in one of her videos.

[@Starlesslight]

Had a major crush on her, she's awesome.

[@DOUBLECW]

Paula's music is very catchy and her videos were definitely well choreographed (usually by Paula herself). Many people recommended you react to her first hit "Straight Up," but I would highly recommend "Forever Your Girl" also for a really catchy song and video.

[@_Sarby1]

Paula Abdul was more of a dancer and choreographer and did many of Janet Jacksons vids. She was also in a plane crash in 93 and had a spinal cord injury and nerve damage and was told she may never walk again let alone dance.....But other songs of hers that were hits/good are Opposites Atract and Rush Rush but have a look at Janets Rhythm Nation

[@edgarescamilla2679]

OMG! Yes!!!!

[@dennis2966]

This video is replicating a scene from the movie "All That Jazz".

[@why1itsme]

You won't be able to "react" to the inspiration as it is an R rated video but check it out yourself.

[@-belue-6697]

Dennis..."ALL THAT JAZZ"... More like, "ALL DAT ASS!" 🤣😧😏

[@JemJam2976]

Bob Fosse

[@wendya1580]

Thank you for *someone* (and those below) knowing this!! This video was from 1988. The movie "Flashdance" came out in 1983 and had a quasi-similar "judges" scene, down to the foot-keeping-beat shot, which also inspired that aspect of this video. "Glee" used this song and adapted the choreography in an episode, also.

[@cheryljackson5659]

@Dennis: Very Fosse-esque!

[@deelawson4551]

Loved Paula!She had a lot of great hits! This song though,lol,my best friend and I was definitely feeling this and singing to particular guys we broke up with at the time..we still break out singing this from time to time and laugh!

[@jmtaylor5426]

Ya gotta do Straight Up! edit: Oh yeah...great reaction. Thanks

[@mwhitehead1461]

I love the tribute to my favorite dancer, Bob Fosse.

[@patpathos]

Go Paula! Go Pauka!😉

[@nothingbutlove40tis]

Love this one and Rush Rush but Opposites Attract is my favorite because it's so much fun!

[@crystalwalker3503]

This and Straight Up are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@neildarealdeal7129]

Hi India, react to her singing "Rush Rush". Also, you need to start reacting to some of Princes songs; I would appreciate it thanks! realdeal

[@coppercake4307]

Is he, ruff ruff!? LMAO! I feel like Paula just rapped! Old school style!

[@laciadams6882]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! So much so that I still have the VHS tape of this music video that I recorded off MTV countdown and I still know the dance... Boyz 2 Men -Mowtown Philly and Happy People (Can't remember the bands name) music videos on there too... 🤣🤣🤣

[@sizemorej]

She did some work for Janet Jackson. Do strait up by Paula

[@spirittammyk]

My personal favorite from her is Opposites Attract.
