PAULA ABDUL - LAKER GIRL

[@SCSilk]

She’s the reason I became a dancer. I was neither tall, thin, or classically trained. And 17 years after I took my first dance class, I performed at a Lakers game.

Good for you, a short dancer is hard in the business. What we see on TV and in reality super tall girls are not normal, that is extreme body dynamics. I had a huge crush on a girl who who was 6 foot one. I chickened out and never asked her out.

[@SCSilk]

@@digitaldirt7773 I was never going to be a professional. I didn’t start dancing until I was 27.

[@mannydem1]

True Legend that paved the way!!! Paula Abdul is forever my girl.

[@thefantasyraider]

You go girl, proved everyone wrong and made her way to the top!

[@orlandoalvarado3710]

PAULA ABDUL has always been my inspiration and till this day I'm still a PAULA ABDUL fan I love you Paula

[@christar9527]

I love her attitude. She was determined to succeed and she most certainly did! She is a fabulous choreographer and a very good dancer. I was that tall, super skinny ballerina who got all the leading roles because of my looks mainly I think. She should be an inspiration to any type of dancer who loves the work. Go for it!

[@roystonrogers2350]

I just loved all of her dance videos esp knocked out, cold heated snake and the intro to straight up

[@trysometruth]

Very good special on Paula. Well done. She was at the top of her game.

[@REMNANTRising2005]

She outshines all the hollyweird trash of today...she can DANCE and sing with vigor!! I love the old school tap DANCE in her music

[@mark-silaovaisola5172]

Paula Abdul is a true inspiration and admiration. Her hard work has paid off. She may not be the great singer so what? She released hits and 6 number ones. She is always the best performer. So many haters and critiques but that wont stop Paula from climbing to the top. FOREVER MY GAL PAULA

[@TheDiamondLife90]

I luv her voice

[@bobbybrown1389]

Well this proves that paying homage to old school performers can really pay off but most young people ignore them and think old people are not the flavor of the day

[@jp3813]

Young people just have newer old school performers like Paula to look up to.

[@alielsayed3549]

I know they don’t realize that todays trends are just patterns and behaviors of the past but slightly updated to fit the style of today

[@erikhicks07]

she's a goddess - loved her even as an 80s kid

I was a superfan of Paula Abdul back then...this was my second favorite interview she did

[@andreachewey6971]

King Mojo what was the first? I totally want to watch it! I love her too

[@bobmowreader5546]

shes still pretty enough to be a laker girl! ive heard shes real nice too!

[@salvatoreperez5113]

Paula is one of the coolest people Ever

[@nemesisprime2993]

Paula have a perfect voice.....so no one should criticized because she sound a lot better than many out there....so they should have just leave the princess alone..... people must be happy for others when they come out of the dark and into the light....I am so happy for the stars that passes through this world and bring us so much nice music, movies, entertainment and whatsoever good that they did in their time....in the whole beginning of entertainment history.

[@nemesisprime2993]

I love that woman so much.

[@paulbitting8478]

Anyone noticed that her look, soft talking voice and demeanor is so similar to Janet. You can sense the Jackson influence in her.

[@feligonzalez5222]

You're my inspiration Paula! ♥

[@vicrod74]

She was my crush back in the late '80s. So Gorgeous!

[@amidst5962]

Such an inspiration!

[@riro1607]

didnt realize how much she has choreographed. i was too young to know her work, but enjoyed her music growing up. this interview was great and she's too cute. also, isnt the interviewer a kennedy?

[@fortnitetrickshothdx4266]

And she choreographed the dance scene from Coming To America..she is that B$&@$!!!!!!

[@carlosalomar7877]

And the movie The Running Man (1987) dance number!....

[@mannydem1]

And the America Beauty cheerleaders scene 😉

[@jp3813]

The giant keyboard scene in Big (1988).

[@ericlopez9107]

She has always been pretty to me, loved her growing up, I think she looks very very sexy in these interviews...This is around 1991 when her spellbound album dropped

[@TheDiamondLife90]

I luved this era🕷

[@2008topshelf]

Look, Janet and Paula's singing are actually in the same spectrum. they both excel as entertainers from their movements and image they create.

[@djr7144]

I would add Madonna to that list.

[@taison5166]

@ MyTalkShowHeroes May the Most High God bless you for showing this interview of Paula Abdul! She is...by far...one of the most underrated performers simply because there are MANY critics who just love that power of hurting anyone and everyone that they can hurt spiritually, mentally, and physically! And one other thing...just because Maria is of the "Kennedy" line does NOT mean that she should've ended the interview (in my strong statement) with the sarcastic tone & remark "A mutt." Paula used the term "mutt" to explain and describe how a LOT of people (who ATTEMPT to figure out her heritage) ignorantly "categorize" her! She's NOT an animal...she's a human being (of the human race/mankind)! If anything, Maria (because of being 'NASTY') should've called her MS. ABDUL...repeatedly and respectfully! Again, may the Most High God bless you for showing this interview! 💯

[@barbarakearns6995]

Wow, she looks great and has still got the moves!

[@evita521]

I'm a big Paula fan and was lucky to see in concert. When she sang Blowing Kisses in the Wind there were performers flying around on beautiful full length ribbons and doing graceful tricks. It was incredible.

[@greenlantern9577]

I love her voice its enjoyable too relaxing to my ears I wish she will release a more and more and more songs and albums soon

[@FelixDance88]

She's always known her worth and who she was not. No falseness which carried her far. No men because she didn't need any. That's immense power right there 🤘🤘💜❤️💜💜❤️❤️

[@uwillbe]

I was crazy about her !

[@h.epennypacker2598]

It’s so funny how her build/shape was basically shunned back then, yet now it’s the “in”body type? I never understood it there’s nothing sexier than that thick curvy build. Skinny women do nothing for me

[@christar9527]

She was very short and squat. That’s not the current look. Curvaceous is a different thing.

[@TinaLouise73]

Paula inspired me to love dancing even MORE then i already did bsck in my teens! Wish I'd pursued my dreams in a dance career but i didn't and lookn back i really shoddof gone for it head n tail bcoz i had(n stil do!) The talent to succeed! My word to ANYONE wantn to pursue ur dream career? GO FOR IT! NEVER let ANYONE or ANYTHING stop u! X

[@FlyyGirl1000]

She was something else in the 80s

[@safetyfirst9502]

This interview comes to me in a struggling moment Tanx a million

[@TinaLouise73]

THAT tap dance in the Straight Up music video! Wow just WOW! 😍

[@JukeboxJoeB]

Definitely one of the hottest and most talented female stars of the 90's! My friends and I back in junior high school had huge crushes on her. Some didn't like her music (many of the guys preferred hard rock) but I LOVED her music! However I do think her actual vocal skills are somewhat questionable, and at times I've even wondered if she even sang on her own records. It's difficult or impossible to find any footage of her actually singing live. When you look at virtually all her TV appearances, concerts, and TV appearances, she's clearly lipsyching to a pre-recorded track. Even in her recent comeback tour, few or none of the vocals were actually live. Makes you wonder if she can even sing at all. Definitely a great dancer and choreographer though.

[@christar9527]

Everyone of her performances I’ve seen she’s lip syncing too. I wonder how well she can really sing.

[@JukeboxJoeB]

@@christar9527 Probably not real well. She was always more of a hot looking dancer / choreographer, and in the late 80's & early 90's she was a well-marketed pop star. But I doubt she was ever a great vocalist.

[@wicunni]

[@josephkelley8641]

it's all about Attitude, in fact our Pastor SAYS this all of the time - weekly if not more. "Attitude, attitude, attitude, how's your attitude?" -cuz Paula's WON everywhere she's been. Meaning there ARE no accidents/coincidence. Paula bought the exact same transferable skills to each endeavor. If she was going to be a cheerleader, damnit - then she was going to BE the World's Best.
