I never saw a singer dance better than her dancers. Paula you are the best!

[@jozsefnefrischmann6197]

I agree!!!

[@richardharris8745]

micheal jackson... mc hammer .. chris brown

[@victoriassme]

Cause she's the choreographer too.

[@TheHunnyBeee]

The number one reason she wasn't booed off that stage was because her dancing was just incredible that no one even bothered that she was lipsynching. That entire choreography was brilliant but that's why we don't have anyone near as good as Paula or Janet on the stage now.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

All the performers on TV shows lip synced in the ‘80s that’s why no one in the audience booed. It was common at that time.

[@JadeK297]

@@PaulaAbdulForeverincorrect. Lots of good singers sang live when on the Apollo. Exposé performed in the 80s at the Apollo and sang 100% live.

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

@@JadeK297 Incorrect. Even the “good singers” lip synced at the Apollo, Soul Train, or any show during the ‘80s and years before then. Lip syncing was acceptable at that time. Madonna and Janet did it too.

[@stacysmith7387]

Is that Terrance Trent D’arby singing back up for you??

I remember seeing this as a kid on tv not just yet a fan but my eyes were glued on the tv. Paula is a national treasure 🌹

[@madsfletch]

p always looks so tiny in older clips💕

[@Nate-dn1gx]

She's only 5 feet tall and I doubt any taller today. lol

[@kateg7298]

@@Nate-dn1gx She's about the same weight too. 95 pounds soaking wet.

[@MrBiPauler]

Is she Filipino?

[@mrddb0493]

Chile I thought Paula was just the judge on American Idol. I didn’t know she could move like this. Especially in the beginning.

[@12B4Christ]

Someone correct me...but I believe her real claim to fame in earlier days was in dance choreography. She was an LA Laker girl and I believe she was their choreographer also. Now throw in her gorgeous self with that voice and she is the whole package! One adorable lady....top 3 of my favs in this era...

[@richardharris8745]

@@12B4Christ she started off as that then went into music had a bunch of world wide smash hits then appeared as the idol judge

[@noemistephanie93]

Aw this is so cute! Is this from a tour?

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

This is from the TV show “Showtime at the Apollo”

[@prose00]

What year was this??

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

This was 1989

[@JerryAceVentura]

Does anyone know the guy's name that sings with her?

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Check Wikipedia

[@Tes7000]

I think it is just a background singer. I thought for a second he could have been in the Wild Pair, which was a background group that appeared on songs on the Forever Your Girl album. Most notably, the Wild Pair sang the male counterpart on Opposites Attract. I Googled the Wild Pair, and _I don't think_ the guy singing with Paula is one of the Wild Pair.

[@Turnip3]

@@Tes7000 The Wild Pair are indeed doing bg vocals, though my guess is the guy in this is just a dancer since the performance is lipsynced. The Wild Pair used to part of Prince protege group Mazerati. www.discogs.com/Paula-Abdul-Forever-Your-Girl/release/1829591

[@cecegiles7286]

That's jermaine Stewart

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

@@cecegiles7286 ....it's not Jermaine....unfortunately i think by this time he had passed away....

[@ayanp353]

This is the inferior album version, but sounds good here with the loud repeated drum.

[@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona]

which version is better?

[@Charmedone9805]

@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona the single version released in 1989 this is the 1988 album version

[@ayanp353]

​@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona I prefer the single mix.

[@mikesternmike]

Lip syncing I've never been a fan of that being said a lot of good energy and Vibes. Not a big fan of the artist dancing through the music but again her energy and enthusiasm and the fact that it's not that bad of a song for a pop chart tune it all kind of works

[@DT-ggh546]

*she's "obviously" lipsyning* 🤦

[@PaulaAbdulForever]

“Obviously”….because this video is from the ‘80s at a time when lip syncing was considered cool. 🙄

[@sjay19babybaybay93]

I miss those days back when women weren't naked to sing and perform!

[@Moviefan2k4]

Yeah, there was a time when the industry respected them. Some performers (like Madonna) still relied on their sexuality above all else, though.

[@reidbw]

Tue audience is not that into it.
