[@zn.mercury3089]

I laughed so hard at Kelly on the second try, right when she tried to do the leg part. xD

[@italishgirl5601]

[@mizzmini45]

[@sueparras6028]

Paula pulling off those moves in heels is epic! Watching Kelly, not so much. LoL!

[@janellekirkland3023]

PAULA..... u r the QUEEN!!!❤️💕❤️LEGEND!!!💕❤️💕

[@jensz9360]

You can't help but crush on Paula. She can dance..AMAZING...looks AMAZING....Sings AMAZING....She is also a sweetheart and a class act.

[@newmyutube11]

Paula is my idol. When I was younger always danced to Paula & Janet MVs.

[@nzinga8]

She is a good teacher

[@rexodexo4196]

well i should hope so 😂 she was a choreographer!! she made an entire career out of teaching people how to dance

[@Camille_Lee_Eon]

I love how she counted the beats with words instead of numbers...

[@juanantoniomoreno3409]

Dancing makes people happy.!

[@SuperLovebug8]

She still fucking got it work it Paula

[@statepropertyfan87]

SuperLovebug8 got what? liver spots?

[@litledevel15]

State Property Fan she's better looking than you'll ever be 😊

[@mark-silaovaisola5172]

State Property Fan she's got talent that has made her the rich woman that she is today. And you've got what? $0.00 in your bank account and 0% talent???

[@SuperLovebug8]

State Property Fan she is only like 55 she's still so beautiful and has been through hell and back with her health and injuries and crashes she still got it she's the strongest person I've ever seen

[@arthurgearheard4701]

I wonder what she'd say about Eleanor Powell?

[@Kimberlyfavored]

You can tell Paula not only can dance, but also teach the dance!

[@safibel2049]

I thought the guy was the mexicain president😂😂

[@JeNn0mic0n]

Safi Bel I thought it was Obama 😂😂

[@Commentator541]

All 3 have killer bodies!

[@bryanhaynes4941]

Paula abdul was my very first favorite singer. She is so talented. Is is responsible for so many brilliant dance moves in videos. Man can't say enough

[@debbie3218]

I agree she is a great dancer, but I think the younger generation doesn't remember Rita Hayworth, Vera Ellen, and Ann Miller were some extraordinary tap dancers of their time.

[@arthurgearheard4701]

How could've you forgotten Eleanor Powell, the best of all time! Check out what Fred Astaire said about her!

[@KristineMaitland]

You are forgetting African American Jeni LeGon. Look her up kzbin.info/www/bejne/l522eZqiYsyYoM0

[@fersalinas2010]

Paula Abdul la conocí hace poco. Me gusta sus pasos que hace. Se ve que es muy buena coreografa.

[@AlexisMaria]

Kelly was a dancer too just a different style (paula Jazz Kelly ballet) she got it though! Love it ! her hubby is SO FINE lol. x

[@nemesisprime2993]

That's Paula.

[@donnabanks7656]

Paula looking great!

[@jakeniemi7565]

Seriously such an incredible choreographer. Her dancers must love working with her because she treats everyone with equal respect, you can tell! LOVE this woman's music, dancing talent and all work as a choreographer on her own project, Janet Jackson's and so on! Amazingly multi-talented, beautiful human being!!!

[@shadywiskerz]

Props to Kelly for doing this in heels

[@shutterbug_713]

So did Paula!

[@rexodexo4196]

paula's in heels too

[@BonesJovi]

Amazing tutorial! Пола, мы тебя любим. =)

[@blakebarberi4828]

Big Janet Jackson fan but Paula trained Janet to blossom into the superstar she is now. Janet had rhythm and moves but Paula has great footwork. That combination is what drew people to janet. Most dances during the 80s for women had them stand in place moving hips and arms. Paula still got it at 60 👏👏👏

[@sergiomckneil9412]

Paula Abdul ... FOREVER energetic and beautiful.

[@jad8123]

It’s funny seeing Mark’s expression. He sort of realizes that those short steps Paula gave them worked. LOL!!!

[@tammytate6215]

Love you Paula,your the best celebrity choreographer I've seen before out of all the celebrities from each decade.❤😘

[@mathsomers8108]

She "ownes " rythme, music and performing, Paula Abdul is the greatest artist on stage.

[@tdholmes23]

Do you know how tiny you have to be to make Kelly Ripa look big?!?!.... Wow. I love this, so it's adorable.

[@hinkhall5291]

She has been a joke for the past decade as an AI judge that you forget what made her famous.

[@Lollii_Popp]

Paula is gorge

[@anacionqtfixo]

she is such a great teacher

[@crisalexander9357]

Still my girl forever & Everrrrr 🔥🌹🔥

[@shantebarze1068]

Kelly was a cheerleader back in the day, before becoming an actress so she got the moves acting like she can't dance bc her hubby can't dance...

[@fuzzycublb]

I remember when Kelly was a featured dancer on Dance Party USA, before she was on that soap. Long permed hair and wearing a body stocking.

[@louieporcarelli2959]

And her boyfriend on the show's name was Chris Kelly😌

[@rfelix7486]

I love this Woman. Omg 😱

[@alysskennedy8661]

Could Ripa be anymore annoying with it.

[@genisecopada8928]

Mark has good dance moves!!

[@annienieves5234]

She's the one who taught Janet Jackson she's been a force since the 80s and still is till this day

[@abdelkarim1486]

poor mark

[@franceswalker2627]

The girl's a legend!

[@katethegreat2818]

HIRAM!

[@elaineakins2642]

Kelly looked ridiculous 😂

[@maddysonsmith9457]

3 of my favourite human beings and they really don’t age

[@blackbeauty5717]

Paula is a legend

[@Totalavulsion]

What a babe and so talented

[@mariaparco2563]

Such a talented artist

[@marlena4020]

Fun fact: when she was cheering for the Lakers they saw her choreography skills and so she choreographed the routines. Well guess what famous fan noticed AND hired her to choreographed for her sister and other artists? I’ll give you a hint- Nasty Boys….. got it? Yep, none other tha Michael Jackson himself saw her and pretty soon she was choreographing for Janet!!!!

[@edwardmatta651]

I love her voice and dance and spirit

[@Noutchka]

She's a legend.

[@kimzchaos]

Cool

[@GabeReptar]

She's always has been so genuinely cool & sooo sweet. Miss Paula

[@jhs8496]

I've always thought Paula Abdul is adorable...

[@pia5518]

he has a brite future ahead... look at this man go....! swonderfull smarvelous!!!

[@michellelanteri6897]

This is big lie actor Mark Consuelos was a Chippendales dancer before he got his big acting break on soap opera All My Children

[@shutterbug_713]

Nicer than Simon Cowell!

[@h.l.asolomonov7674]

I love her shoes

[@pinky7010]

They look like they have Woody's legs

[@cjturner370]

Not Paula

[@9to5isboring]

She is a good singer and good dancer. I heard her songs when I was young.

[@marmavit]

She looks a bit like Sandra Bullock

[@paultopfitness8661]

She avoided actually singing

[@kiwisoup]

Why would she sing? It wasn't a performance. It was her teaching a dance that she choreographed herself.

[@teresavalencia-rincones7746]

Kellys legs are too funny !lol!

[@user-RomYch978]

Paula is cool at choreography!

[@UPBEATFOREVER]

The "oh,oh,oh" really highlights the whole STRAIGHT UP dance choreography 👏👏👏

[@rosylinhortelano6411]

Love Paula Abdul, the Legend❤️💕💥😘

[@ljlauravik5747]

Off topic...but I have show suggestions. Live with Kelly & Company...adifferent celeb host every week, and a lucky viewer host one day per month (never know where talent and comrardary plus loyalty lie, amongst viewers)! Co host thoughts: Dave Letterman, Tony Danza, Rob Lowe, Wayne Brady, Tim Tebow orrrr Ryan Seacrest. Women co hosts, Marissa Tomei, Betty freakin White!!!! Joy Philben, Or Amy Schumer

[@bobnagel6449]

I'd watch a workplace safety video if it had Marissa Tomei in it.

[@louieporcarelli2959]

U nailed it with Ryan Seacrest 👍

[@osbaldoantonio5842]

[@whiteshell1]

Well, she did too many hip moves that weren't in the lesson

[@astraltraveler1]

He already knew what she was going to do though.

[@BonafideToolJunkie]

Oh, oh oh...I think I pulled a hamstring.

[@Peterrdee]

O o o 😂

[@skoolie_life3261]

Kelly’s legs I’m dying 😂😂

[@Diplomtrucker]

Kelly looks on those dance moves more like "Saturday Night fever" :D

[@oak4901]

KUDOS TO PAULA A FINE LADY IN EVERY WAY.....
