Paula Abdul - My Love Is For Real

[debfan74]

I often say this is where Paula sort of went Janet Jackson like...this song does remind me of That's The Way Love Goes....a very sultry style :-) and I love this song very much!!!

[MickeyDs14]

@debfan74 Well Paula was one of Janet's first choreographers back in the day. If you look at the "What Have You Done For Me Lately" video, Paula is in the video. So it's not surprising that this would be kind of reminiscent of TTWLG's. I personally love this video and song, though. Paula was the shizzz! lol.

[MickeyDs14]

@debfan74 And yes I know that Tina Landon choreographed the TTWLG's video, and not Paula.

[xxxblasted77]

i have this cd! i'm such an asshole!

[madzskie]

Ofra Haza sounds like Paula Abdul a little bit! She's one lovely diva from Sri Lanka or India. We used to dance this song in college. I missed it!

[PaNdeM0niuM]

one of the greatest dancers, if not the greatest female dancer.

She taught Janet !

[aathikahRufly]

She is bloody awesome , it's no wonder she has lasted this long in hollywood and is still in hollywood!!!

This song should have been a #1 record!!

[siorsior1]

Ofra Haza is singing at the beginning and noone mentions her. Shame!

[SweetPSRR]

AWESOME!!! She is so good.

[utterbullspit]

3 studio albums does not a career make.

[Dayalovesjaki]

I Hope Simon got to See this. ;) SAULA<3

[weby099]

She looks freaking AMAZING in this video. <3

[rootbeersongs]

I freaking love Ofra Haza :)

[fadedyouthtube]

Paula had a huge pop career. I don't know what @pastcineo is talking about. This song was just near the end of her pop career.

[ebmoretti]

I don't understand why this song didn't chated higher.

[SaulaMachine]

Paula is Amazing. Period.

[ViolettaMarmalade]

You go, Paula. Be proud to be Syrian, girl.

[hidethesources]

@ViolettaMarmalade @ViolettaMarmalade Totally! I thought the exact same thing. This song is totally "Abdul" :) plus in The Way That You Love Me she also sings about Brazil. Harry's drowned in proudness.

[enigma7222]

Krásný song, vokály - Ofra Haza ♥

[gulraizify]

STUNNING

[pjdance]

Ofra Haza is the true queen here! Sorry Paula I love you girl but, Ofra Haza can out sing you and in more than one language too.

Still a very sexy song, that's in part Ofra Haza.

[chatnoir77777777777]

i love her song in this. the woman who sang in the background is Ofra Haza. i always think this was released without enough promos back then. and the song is years ahead of that time.

[cherubicnerd]

@chatnoir77777777777  thanks. i love informative comments. now,i am going to look her up.

[dashenell2010]

u betta wurk paula!!! lol

[natureboyinyourface]

paula on the x-factor,should be fun.

[suavehinrg]

@GeniusAmongTards

True. However both Paula and her fans got the last laugh because look how how many singers and groups on the Pop charts have come and gone since then without much more than a ripple on the tides. This song is still clearly remembered or newly discovered because it was unlike the majority of music on the TV and airwaves then.

[suavehinrg]

So fabulous, so firece! No one can do a music video, a song and move like Paula!

[thistleflowers]

I loved this one...still do

[TheHearsz]

It sounds like an Arabian version of Madonna's "Justify My Love". I like it!

[Branigan4ever]

Far and way, her strongest pop single and video, IMO.

[maisecret1]

who understands the underlying pin of this and every other thing the same as it ? be the best you can be when your love is for real you will know it inside you forever , it will never leave you begin in the centre

[maisecret1]

success lives in the heart of the contributor not in the heart nor mind of those watching and listening

[stingcoldplay1]

<3

[Branigan4ever]

@stingcoldplay1 ....what does <3 mean?

[pastcineo]

@Branigan4ever it's a heart draw them together and you'll see :D

[Branigan4ever]

@pastcineo ...Thanks for telling me! I've seen this online before and wondered what it meant.  Thanks again!!

[stingcoldplay1]

@Branigan4ever it's a love heart symbol

[LiLsChOoLgUrL1980]

Love this video! Dude, at 3:34 it looks like she's holding his head to her... #pervertedmoment #sorry

[Mimi10004]

wtf i heard a song like that before copy cater

[raylz4]

well, no better way to prove to a man you love him than having a shit tun of strange dudes feeling her up in front of him. it'd win me over.

[clearentries]

yep definitely a better dancer

[stevensgold]

she's much more tired in dancing,than j.l.o she dance great too. but paula is much more expressive than j.lo.

[pastcineo]

she deserved a much more successful career!!! she's awesome

[james1200]

@pastcineo She was the biggest star on the planet in the late eighties and early nineties, on the cover of People magazine as being the best-selling artist on the planet and, as they snarkly put it, out-selling the hell out of even Madonna. She had her time in the sun!

[ebmoretti]

@james1200 It's true! She had her peak between 1989-1992. Good times!!

[madzskie]

@james1200 Yes Paula Abdul soared high in record sales and charts outnumbering Madonna for a while during 1989 to 1991 period, after the "Justify My Love" controversy which banned Madonna from MTV in the late 1990 as far as I could remember. I object to your statement for Paula Abdul as the biggest star, since Madonna still remained the Queen Of Pop title despite the downsides of her career, as she returned in 1992 with "Erotica" album and her "Sex" book which gained her publicity as sales zoom.

[LaotianLover]

@pastcineo paula had 6 #1 singles with 3 studio albums, she was successful. She was one of the original dance divas, paving the way for the port tarts of today.

[icebud]

@Thunder811000 yes, she was. what's your point? 

[fadedyouthtube]

This song is STILL hot!

[ThizzbMizzA]

YUH...BACK IN 2001 WHEN ME N CHERYL LAZARO WERE CAPTAINS OF SANTA MARIA HIGHS DANCE TEAM I CHROEGRAPED THE DANCE WE DID TO A LIL PIECE OF THIS SONG IT WAS THE GAME AGAINST RIGHETTI OUR DANCE WAS HOTT...AWWEE MEORIES

[sbe79]

Is it just me... or would Britney Spears have big success covering this relatively unknown song? It would show a ridiculously broader range than her current end-to-end fastfast dance songs that are starting to really get old.

[n01231]

does anyone know who's that guy?

[rockhard4girls]

At 3:41 her breasts are smooched by the man behind.. lol

[pigfoot70]

this video makes me want to have a flat stomach

[lover4lifenice]

love this song

[floribellae]

i heard the start and just knew it was ofra...

[AlexBright99]

It's weird to see the American Idol judge singing :P

[mkcech]

this song is big ....

[anayalie]

i remember being 14 or 15 listening to this song & my mom wouldn't let me watch the video cuz she says it was "too sexual"..lol

[iker67]

I love this!

[pigfoot70]

paula abdul's most underrated song by far, she is the best muslim singer ever

[cecillbill]

@pigfoot70

not muslim, she's of arab descent...there is a huge difference...

[TheAsmar26]

@pigfoot70 she is jewish.

[xPaulaAbdulLoverx]

thumbs up if you agree briteny sucks and paula is more sexyer

[tommonator]

this is like remember the time, but the other way round

[hilljayne]

TRULY, IMO, her greatest song next to Rush Rush!

[abaeissa]

:( old days are gone.

[mermaidofsuburbia]

Head Over Heels is one of the best - if not the best - album of the 90's - I listen to it at least once a week. Can't understand why it didn't do better than it did.

[GONZALOABDUL]

@mermaidofsuburbia ES VERDAD ES EL MEJOR ALBUM DE LA DECADA Y FUE EL INICIO DE LA FORMA DE GRABAR DEL POP,FUISION,MEZCLA,POP,HIP-HOP­,FUNK,JAZZ,R&B.PAULA ABDUL PIONERA...... Y LA MEJOR... CREATIVIDAD,VISION,Y ESTILO..

[GONZALOABDUL]

@mermaidofsuburbia es verdad head over heels es el mejor album de los 90 y es el pionero en el estilo qeu hoy se usa... paula abdul pionera,vision y estilo... paula la mejor.. sigue haciendo musica... te estamos esperando.....

[twitterusernamebk09]

Her most awesome track & video!

[peetey897]

I'm in ballet and when the teacher said we'd be doing the Arabian dance from the nutcracker this video was the first thing that came to mind. I will be watching this to get into character before the recital.

[SexyLilLezNTx]

Paula is the complete package. She looks AHHHHH-mazing in this video. DAYUM!!

[laciko12]

Ophra Haza's voice in the intro and background - RIP what a fabulous voice she had.

[rpvee]

@laciko12 *Ofra Haza, but yes, RIP! :(

[Gayathri87]

That was full on groping...not an accidental touch. LOL...maybe it was on purpose?

[jwjh1269]

i havent heard this since '95. not a big fan of here voice, but i really like the music on this track.

[AFGRULZ26]

paula u r in middle east not INDIA when will hollywood make a difference between indian and arabic/middle eastern culture i cant say anything else

[rasyachan]

euw,, i just notice that they touch her breast

[thehardsucker]

@rasyachan i noticed that too. haha! she's a professional so she must never react in front of the cam that someone's touched her bewbs, maybe. XD

[LizTheLaxer]

@thehardsucker @rasyachan Of corse! I mean Simon did it all the time! All she did was smile and giggle. lmfao

[GeneralG1810]

Honestly this woman gets hotter with age, whoa muma

[Airsoftcleaner]

I wonder how many times has Simon seen this vid

[TheMadziorish]

@Airsoftcleaner: I bet maaaaaanyyy :P or had his private performance in that style so he didn't need to watch it anymore :P

[Airsoftcleaner]

@TheMadziorish Good point it probably made Simon want go give her The Big Ding Dong LOL!!!!!

[beavcleaver1]

3:42. Enough said.

[layjz]

Damn! This video brings back a lot of er... memories. As a 14 year old boy with raging hormones, Paula's gyrations prompted me to do something normal teenage boys would usually do a good number of times. Hahahah!

[SuperDujour]

hot damn she is fine

[marcbbaby]

I agree that this is Paula's best song. I love the beat and the middle eastern influence and background vocals are amazing. She is also so hot and sexy in the video, looking like an arabic goddess. Here best work yet.

[hilljayne]

This is her best song. I love how the producers combined Paula's voice with Ofra's chants.

[Shakeitupyes]

I hate watching ADS on youtube so I just download these to my hard drive so I don't have to wait through advertisments

[sacgurl916]

don't know if any of you watched full house growing up, but when uncle jesse had that song forever and were making the music video for it, that totally reminded me of this video. well at least i thougth so.

[saularocks]

Damn!! I am not lesbian/bie but she could change that LOL! She is fucking sexy as hell, even now :) I♥U,P!

[Abbot63]

That's the final american hit by Paula Abdul, featuring the great israeli singer Ofra Haza, the song made it the # 28 in the U.K list and also the # 28 on the Billboard Charts in the summer of 1995.

Thank you EMI for upload the video in H.Q.

[TenStar6397]

Fantastic and passionate vid.

[DJFG85]

I think that's Ofra Haza's voice in the background

[gurlitaliana]

OMG! Paula Abdul is So Exotically Sensual. I have Alwayz loved Paula! She is ForEver My Gurl!! <3

Her mother is French-Canadian & her father is Brazilian-Syrian. No wonder she has this Beautiful Mid-Eastern natural talent of singing & dancing in This video! This is now my favorite video of Paula's! I would love to hear more of her singing Syrian-type music, as well as Brazilian & French music! KOOL!

(By the way, Abdul’s father is a Sephardic Jew and her mom is an Ashkenazi Jew.)

[Airsoftcleaner]

@gurlitaliana You know Simon would wholeheartedly agree with your statement

[GymGuy247]

I LOVE that move on 1:35.. That was smooth!!

[2sholl]

the best voice ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[76special]

I got to admit, this song is hot, even though is 15 years old.

[Ohimaqueen]

Oh my God! I was searching this for so long! I remember seeing this as a girl, and wishing I could be pampered by servants just like her.

[Lipscombe23]

I dedicate this song and video to my bro Ronnie! He loved this vid! R.I.P. Ronnie <3

[foreverandeverbabee]

this video gives me feelings i cannot explain. LOL.... she is the most beautiful woman in the world! I'm not even kidding. This video is so freaking hot. I DARE Simon to watch it... if he did, i bet he died... lol.

[ariesnsolo78]

[ljanda19]

My new favorite song

[ljanda19]

My new favorite song

[Niyorco]

[johnlaughnfaggapples]

I said it when I was 12...And I sure as hell will say it now! Paula Abdul is a Goddess!

No question about it!

[xxprettylazxx]

loved it!

[TheFIRSTFatJohn]

Wow, how beautiful! God, I wish she'd get back to making music and dancing! She's better than she think she is! Oh, and thanks for posting this incredibly rare video!

[LaotianLover]

Legend & Queen of Dance. Long Live the Queen.

[TheAsmar26]

why did they not show ofra haza on here ! It would have been a more ground breaking song!!!!

[rpvee]

@TheAsmar26 Ofra was invited to the video shoot, but declined due to other commitments.

[TheAsmar26]

@rpvee thanks for the info! I am glad to see other ofra fans out there!

[rpvee]

@TheAsmar26 No problem. And yes, Ofra was magnificent. I have many video mixes I made of her work in my profile! Keeping her music alive. :)

[reena73]

Sexy and exotic!

[omiblingbling]

gorgeous!

[lannah2531]

A Paula é demais! Muito talentosa... Suas coreografias são demais! Adorei em especial essa música. Muito Boa!

[lannah2531]

Clipe interessante... Música gostosa de se ouvir! Paula é sensacional, muito talentosa.

[ThePuccadelicious]

this video is hot...MUY CALIENTE

great job Paula

♥

[paulafan89]

3 words... I LOVE THIS

[delilahnoir]

i love tooooo

[stynred]

i still gotta thang for paula, she is one of the original divas

[b2525]

Second best looking woman ever

[4theluvofmusic14]

that depends, who's the first?

[b2525]

my wife of course

[LilShaun28]

The choreography to this video is HOT!! wow!! Great job Paula...

[sistapoetry]

This is Paula Abdul showing her culture..Britney was just copying..I mean really come on..

[saularocks]

@sistapoetry Yup

[Xscapefan4ever1408]

I wish that Paula Abdul was back on American Idol.

[141995carrie]

OMG! I AGREE 100%!!! im stilling upset....actually i dnt think upset quit covers how i feel about her not being on idol anymore *sniff*

[PaulaAbdulJr]

If you pause it at :08 then it looks weird...lol

[LaotianLover]

Best dancer.  Paula Abdul

[Xscapefan4ever1408]

I wish that she had put this song on her greatest hits that she put out.

[brunettminx]

hey, Britney did copy her moves for that I'm a slave video..

[thescales31]

i dont see any of those moves in here

[omiblingbling]

@brunettminx britney is a joke compared to a real LEGEND!

[saularocks]

@omiblingbling THANK YOU!! Paula is WAY better than Britney...

[20091cali]

@brunettminx and cold hearted snake video as well....

[icebud]

@brunettminx This choreography in no way resembles that of Britney's 'Slave' video in any capacity. I have studied both of these ladies' choreography since the beginning of their careers. The only similarity is when Paula does the snake arms, which only shows for 2 seconds. If you're accusing Brit of that, then you might as well accuse Paula of the same because snake arms have been used in the middle east for centuries and many dancers have adopted it like Britney, Paula, Shakira, Beyonce, etc.

[DivaAnimalz]

no offense but she can't sing!

but her dancing is awesome....still i like the songs!!! :P

[dootiehole]

yeah..she is pretty much an older version of Britney spears in that aspect.

[jollyjules77]

In hindsight this video and song is kinda tacky. Her voice isn't that great. She clearly was at the end of her singing career here.

[saularocks]

@jollyjules77 WOW! Someone's a little jealous 

[xHorseLoverX08]

I love this song!!! It's soo good!! =D

One of my favourites too!!

[VanessaAbdulicious]

She's THE most beautiful woman in the world! This is my 2nd fav video of all time! DLTNT is my 1st. Lol. xP

[Airsoftcleaner]

@VanessaAbdulicious Yes, and I'm sure Simon would wholeheartedly agree with you

[Relda999]

very nice video...

[ositomichael]

P A Aun Pienso que estas Bien Mamasita!

[SunshineS0ldier]

at 2:05 shes got like a bleeding belly button check it out..:(

[makeuppunstars]

how old was she

[emocrem0]

thirty something

[emocrem0]

Now this is a piece of art, I had never seen it in such high quality. The visuals in 2:28 - 2:31 are stunning and iconic. Its a shame EMI hasnt released this in DVD or as a pay download in DVD quality. I hope EMI one day releases this video, Crazy Cool, Aint Never Gonna Give You Up, Will You Marry Me, Vibeology, Blowing Kisses in the Wind, Promise of a New Day, Rush, Rush (FULL VERSION), Coldehearted, Straight Up and Its Just the way that you Love Me (Vers 1) in a DVD.

[fransaulafan]

she is HOT ...
