i AM impresed by Paula Abdule teaching good morals in her music for young girls all over amercia, her high self-steam, her-couarge and her be-your-self attudude. Great personal trates that american grils need today! (unlike WHORE(S) Modnna, Britany, Paris Hilton, Beyonce and J-Lo) who teach "i see cash then i open up"!!!
im looking for a song ive heard a veryveryvery long time ago, the only thing i know is that she is driving in a car in the clip and that is was a song that used to make me cry, so a very sensitive song. are there any die hard paula fans who perhaps knows about which song i am taling about?
@orion2themax The reason you see some Janet Jackson moves is because Paula Abdul taught her alot that she knows and helped her choreograph HER moves when she was first new and out with her "Control" album. I know this cause I didn't like Abdul at first being a total Janet Jackson fan and idolized her as a teenager, until someone pointed this out to me. Lol :)
With all the hits that she has if she went back out on tour, I would definetly get a ticket....At least I know I will be entertained as opposed to some ot the junk that's out now....
Bravo Paula, thanks for this one. Growing up thought that most women would LISTEN and Take Heart in the lyricks...from back in the day to now, the jury is still out.
@porkisgood4u being able to dance dont have shit to do with American Idol..after all that is a show about looking for the next best singer not the next best dancer.Im preety sure people thought she was a judge cuz she once was a singer herself.
Alright I was too, I wasn't even born in 1988, but I love 80's and 90's and yes...she has ALWAYS been an amazing dancer, though I find it hard to not compare her to Janet Jackson (I'm sure many people do too), specially when I found out she was a backdancer for Janet :-).
@arturocas90 she was choreographer for janet... first the jacksons for there reunion tour. hand picked by the family and then back later for choreograph janets Control album :)
LOVE them both <3 ... but Janet a lil bit more- cos the jacksons are just NUMBER 1. INsane talent :)
Am I the only person that ALWAYS thought that she and Lisa Lisa looked like identical twins!? Even in "Head to Toe", Lisa Lisa looked so much like Paula Abdul!!!
Yeah, I'm so sure it's just the way that he loves you, Paula. It's not any of those things that thousands of women are searching for all around the world. Nice one. You don't fool me.
This was the time when "Knocked Out" and "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me" were Top 10 R&B singles, but when the label was trying so many "tricks" to get Paula to be an international pop star. Basically, when "Straight Up" took off, the album (which had been out for many months at that point) took off, and the label RE-released "Knocked Out" (with two or three versions in rotation, where it finally peaked at #41 in 1990 I think) and re-released this single, which became a Top 10 hit.
@marcusrob02 I knew there were two version of one of her videos. One while she was primarily known in the black community and being played on BET and then another when they rereleased it after Straight Up crossed over to POP. Was it this video or "Knocked Out" that had two versions? Do you know?
I wish it was 1980 because I absolutely hate the 20th century! It was perfect! I wasn't even born then and I still LOVE it! I think she's a beautiful singer! LUV THE SONG!!!
Huh! Oh yeah what am I talking about these days? Maybe I've been taking to much Carrot Juice! Yeah sorry, you're right it was the 20th century! Correctio!!! :P
Yes, I am saying I HATE the 21st century because there is way to much technology, the cars look like junk, music is way to moden and hardly anyone cares about the environment. I'm glad that I'm different and please plant more trees to get rid of most of the pollution.
i recall this being the remix to radio even though this was actually the first version to be released...but it flopped but thanks to Straight up, this song got a second chance!
there's another version with all dancing and very little close ups.i know there is..i remember this video!! but i only saw it once!! i've never seen it again.
she has inspired me to take tap! i love the sound adn the rythm i alll ready know the choreography from 1:18-1:33 it is soooo much easier than it looks!
She was jlo before jlo was.

not her biggest hit but a number 3 in the US charts back in 1989..
she actually had six consecutive number one hits in the US between 1988 to 1992..she was as big as britney and jennifer lopez back then.
not my cup of tea....sounds kind of dated today , but it was quite impressive back then
i still like opposites attract and rush rush tho..those were good singles and her best work imo

Well when this song 1st came out, it became a Top 10 Hit on the R&B Chart before it was re-released and it became a Top 5 Hit on the Pop Chart.

hold on this song was really good ... it went number 3
like when gaga came out with paparazzi .... papa - came out to be only number 9 or something the 1st week or something like that
anyway this song did good not up-to-date like u say u dont see miley,gaga,beyonce,perry,britney, n all singing this type of instrumental n Melony
