Paula Abdul - Straight Up (The Late Late Show)

[@booboomagoo1305]

Listen, the fact that she can move like that in her mid 50s, in 4 inch stilettos suffering from chronic pain is truly incredible. I stan!

[@Linda7647]

Amen to that. She's a little older than me and moves better than I could ever dream. Most days I hobble around like I'm 80 years old because my body hurts so bad.

[@Nepthu]

She's incredible, and the fact that she dives off the ladder after suffering injuries is oustanding. Hats off to Paula, one amazing woman!

[@peterwilliamson8721]

I only have a tablet and I cannot hear her , but I remember liking this song.

[@booboomagoo1305]

@Tanisha Mcclendon she may be feeling better these days. Do you remember back in early American Idol days when she would give interviews and people thought she was on drugs? She was on heavy pain killers, im not sure if she hot hooked but Im glad to see shes got it under control . It would suck if she ended up like prince, Michael Jackson, tom petty etc with chronic pain they end up od ing from.

[@EvanRockwell1]

It shows how much she loves performing and how much she loves her fans. She's a professional and it shows. I have always loved her.

[@letathomas7352]

Paula was a choreographer before she became a solo artist. She was Janet Jackson's choreographer. So she has always had the moves.

[@ronaldlee7566]

She's also once part LA Lakers cheerleading squad.

@@ordainfaithpublishing You are so right! I am 61 years old and was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the knees and lower back. There are many times I just want to throw in the towel. But I tell myself, No, it is not allowed. I must keep on exercising and keep on being active as much as I can. I don’t want to be in a wheel chair or taking pain meds. Be safe and take care.

[@TitoHerreraB]

Only a real professional dancer who knows about time counts and can keep them can pull off this kind of live performance. She is great.

[@BrunoandAnthony]

What a dynamic entertainer. Still rocks the house with her creativity and stunning choreography.

[@BewizPro]

Can we point out the fact this legend is still incredible? Her moves, her timing perfection

[@charlottearena]

I have seen much more "incredible" dancers than her dance, who are not that famous. And her singing...Phfff, that's a joke! Miming to track "again". Yawwnnn....

[@ImAlxxy]

She has been doing the same moves for over 20 years. One would hope her timing is perfect

[@charlottearena]

I cannot stop watching her !!!! Her movements are so accurates !!!!

[@user-ny7ii8nc1o]

2023 Paula super star👑⭐⭐⭐🌟⭐

[@pereirakaio95]

The only issue with this video is that it ends. Nowadays it feels like when it comes about pop culture, we have seen it all. Then a legend came and prove that creativity always beats technology. Everything about this performance is so good and so right. There's a certain pinch of simplicity behind all the hard work, which makes it magical. I was not a fan of Paula, but this performance bought me for sure. Talking about how great she did the moves and how gorgeous she did look, feels highly unecesary to bring about. So good!

[@englishyoucanuse]

I remember listening to some Paula Abdul songs as cruising songs many years ago, long before I saw anything rendered on video. Fantastic dance number, makes a lot of the stuff on now look pretty poor.

[@BDTXIII]

When comes to dance, she is considered a prodigy in that era besides King Of Pop, Prince and Madonna.

[@bradleymitchell3808]

You’re looking at the wrong stuff then. All you old people are lame. “Back in my day”. 😂

Yes she's beyond a talented dancer and always has been. I still say her "CHS" Is top 3 best dance breakdowns known to Pop Culture

Paula looks & dances better than ever!

[@kristinbagani2811]

Paula is one of the few gems that show that one can only get better and better as time goes on. Honestly, I love today’s version of these songs as opposed to the 80’s version.

I mean, she is clearly lip synching, so I'm not sure how much credit I'd give her for technical skill. Great dancer though.

[@diviner21]

@@clayko that's what he meant when he referred to her technicality , Abdul is a genius contemporary dancer who also sings. A singing DANCER hardly the reverse.

[@masongamer7093]

One of my favorite artists from when i was a kid. Me and my step sister played the hell out of this song

[@jpp7783]

This has got to be some of the most clever choreography-this combination of live dancers with video background-ever. I can’t believe I’ve not seen this before and frankly, that it isn’t stamped in everyone’s mind. It’s easily on par with the greats, like Michael jackson’s Billie Jean.

I compared the original video, and this was a phenomenal performance. Except for the tap dance sequence omitted from the beginning of this video, it was identical. Paula is sexy and vibrant, and I love that she did this on the James Corden Show. James loves all things pop, rock, and inspirational, and Paula is all that and then some.
