[H8RbyN8URE]

WORK GIRLY!!

[Dragon3435]

I still think these type of pop music and dance are still better than what we have today.

[pastcineo]

[Sakura2489]

Totaaally awesomeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a greeat dancer and coreographer :D love her!! :)

[Ivy94F]

Ah yes. The original video.  I didn't like the other version because they took out the choreography.

[theconsultantATL]

Man, I am glad this is on YouTube...I had forgotten how Paula used to rock....this takes me back!..........

[djone22]

This video stands the test of time. Some tech mixed with ballet. This is an artist with true talent!

[agentepiterson]

this should have a PA sticker on it!!! :))))

[SuperGamer7]

So true!

She still has it after all this time, hope the album kicks ass!

[sirsniffy]

a great song, with a greater message!

[GreenTeaHyuuga]

It's so hard to pick a favourite song by Paula, but this is definitely at the top of my list! Paula's dancing is so amazing!!

[EmileeIsRad]

@ 1:18 wow, i love that dance number.

[EmileeIsRad]

She's an amazing dancer ! :-)

[djtenn]

I love this video! It has a certain amount of honest fun that is not in the second version of this video. And this remix is untouchable. I have this original 3-inch cd single from 1988. Dance Dance Dance Paula!

[smitethee]

I also was in the Marines when this came out. I remember hearing this song and Sweet Sensations 'Never Let You Go' in a 5 pm mega-mix on the radio in Quantico, VA. Fond memories.

[bujoun76]

Randy Jackson should ask Paula if he could use some of her videoes on America's Best Dance Crew show! I also wouldn't mind seeing the Jabbawokeez on American Idol too!...

[lucumamanjar]

Is someone comparing Britney Spears dancing to Paula Abdul's? PUH-LEEZE!!!

Watch the opening of Abdul's "Straight Up" video and tell me if Britney, Madonna or Janet (each unique) can do that. I dare you.

[aremmojarra]

there is nobody like paula on the dance floor man..no maddona no britney or cristina can do what this girl do lol

[emilioless]

I think the talent is natural.... paula abdul was very creative in her choreagraphy and videos... britney spears or katy perry should be learn about her

[dianamosw]

Do you think shell come out with anything new ever?

[capegguy2006]

She's recording her new album as we speak!

[knightsofstjoan2004]

Paula Abdul's choreography vs. Britney Spears' choreography, who is the better choreographer?

[JRBGLB]

Are you kidding me? Paula Abdul won an emmy performing this song to open up the 1990 AMA's for choreography and another emmy along with it for choreography. She also worked with the best talents in the music industry and choreographed many movies. Spears has no comparison!

[cuebrod]

THE Dancing IS FLAWLESS, PAULA ABDUL HAD INCREDIBLE DANCE MOVES BACK IN THE 80S. GO PAULA. ALOT OF THE ARTIST TODAY CANT REALLY COMPETE WITH THIS!!!!

[JinxHead]

her choreography is WICKED!!!

[tincode]

geez I have to watch this like 50 times and I still notice new stuff each time.

How does she DO that?!

She dances like it us so natural..I bet she tapdanced on her mother's bladder in the womb.

[tincode]

is*

[JumpinJurassicPark]

lmao

[chain2fate]

I disagree about Katy Perry not being a hottie cuz she is!!! But Paula definitely doesn't get enough credit for being the hot babe that she is...if Simon Cowell is smart he'll make sure she's with him to the end on that annoying American Idol show

[thehardsucker]

best dancer of all time!

loved it!

[jellybean15]

Love the dancing part starting at 1:18

[MaJeanBa]

I know it is realllllllyyyyyy sweet

[09181975]

LOVE THE AUDIO ON THIS ONE!!!! lol!!!!!

[Lj9219]

Wow it has been almost 20 years since I last saw this video. I had such a huge crush on her back in '88 when I was 7. This was the second album that I bought. However, I hate American Idol. Will it ever end?

[mchaneyanthony]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEO

[camaleon9]

Where I can fin this version? I like much more than the regular one!!

[number1paulaabdulfan]

Sorry about all those comments. Paula Abdul is amazing. Great Vid

[LuvDempsey]

She is like the best dancer a little to good!!

[qwandiddy]

I cannot believe this is 20 years old, time flys- I am crying, I miss 1988- the best years. 2008 IS FUCKED UP!!!

[SuperNature90]

I'm with you there, I hate the time we live in, and I was born in 1990. I wish I could go back to the 80's or early 90's.

[derrickdanderson]

born in 1990? thanks for making me feel old. christ all mighty, i was in the marines back in 1990.

[takerloving]

i have the same feeling i wish ia was born in 1970 so i could be a teenager in 80's and watch the evolution of musc our days suck i mean watching avril lavigne, rihanna,katy perry !!! pure plastic dominating charts at least paula was pure natural

[jentn0308]

Yep, same here, born in '85, so grew up watching Paula..I'm always wishing it was still the '80s.

[funkyboiblue]

Not that she's the first Janet Jackson but she was her choreographer. So you can see Paula Abdul's legacy in her moves.

Janet did not beat her but she being Michael's sister is more popular. That's a big boost though she is popular now in her own right.

[RocStarr1983]

Actually, Paula first came out two years after Janet Jackson first became popular.

[blackgenie]

ACTUALLY, Paula IS the original. Who do you think choreographed all of Janet's videos?

[MetalChick1982]

right on blackgenie... paula did choreograph her vids, along with millions of other performers that we all love today

[blkdcman69]

blackgenie you are right. Paula was very instrumental in Janet's success. Paula has talent..she is an entertaineror a dancer but thats ok. My favorite singer is Mariah Carey.....Mariah blows them notes but can she dance? Does that mean she doesnt have talent? We can say the same about Whitney as well...she couldnt dance. The only person who could sing and dance back then was Vanessa Williams. Enough Said some people cant have it all but have to work with what they got.

[cutseygrl101]

I LOVE paula.I'm 12 She's one of the best singers I've ever heard. I know just about all of her songs. I'm her # 1 fan. She's an awesome dancer. People need to stop saying all this crap about her being drunk on TV and that she is on drugs. All of it IS NOT true. People just need to leave her alone.

[Christinaknots]

LOVE MY PAULA~ She is sooo Beautiful too! I hope you all know that SHE was the one that Taught Janet Jackson how to dance!!

[larbear36]

I love Paula but she didn't "teach" Janet how to dance, she just choreographed her videos and gave her the steps! Look at all of the Jacksons (well, except maybe La Toya). Hello, that rhythm is something they were born with, it can't be taught!

[Christinaknots]

Sorry I didnt use your exact WORDS, but YES your right. I didnt use the word CHOREOGRAPHED! I was a Paula Abdul FAN WAY before you were. & YES, PEOPLE DO TEACH CHoREOGRAPHY- Unbelievable Everyone! Your just one of those kind of people that HAS to be Right!

[19wraith74]

I agree Paula is still Hott!

[chain2fate]

Paula is still a knock out! Her music still sounds original and timeless today. Hillary Duff, Britney, Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera...take notes.

[saulalover4life]

i love paula shes awesome im 15 and i used to know all her songs by heart at the age of 4 and i still do my first words were skat cat lol i hate when people diss and talk crap about paula i stick up for her and i get made fun of because i stick up for a has been and the call her an alcoholic and crap like that people need to respect her shes a great person and shes a excellent singer/choregrapher/DANCER i hope her new cd is sucessful shes awesome me and her have the same birthday

[leongirl]

Wow, great dancer!

[brukernavn69]

This is the reason I get upset when people talk shit about Paula Abdul. This is the Paula that I remember, she's f*#kin' awesome!

[jrcna32466]

What can you say.....Paula can dance her ass off!!!

[swoop767]

i'd hit that anytime.

[niez512]

she proved that u dont have to be model skinny to able to dance good

[Tetzukai]

But she looks thin.

[Cantstopdamuzik]

Thinner than the average American woman, no doubt.

[Tetzukai]

Oh, that comment made me laugh. LOL!

[xoxMalibuLivxox]

lol ditto, "most American women"

[luukku88]

this is way better mix, than the other! and also the video is much more powerful than the other! I just wonder, why didn't this paeked in #1

[marcusrob02]

When the song was first released in late 1988, it peaked at #10 on the R&B Charts in 1988, and # 88 on the Pop Charts. When "Straight Up" was released as the third single, it blew up on both charts and then she decided to re-release "The Way That You Love Me" (with a different video) in late 1989. It was when she re-released it that the song hit #3 on the Pop Charts, so it ended up as a big smash Top 10 hit in 1989.

[alh2k09]

Dang that girl is hardcore especially in between 1:18-1:33 This is the kind of videos that influence generations

[Amr3561]

i like it, but i have noticed that this is the tamer version than the one mtv put out.

[gypsyluv]

Energetiq+++++

[19wraith74]

She is hot in the 80's and still to this day amazing!!

[toney36]

Work Paula!

[debfan74]

This is the much better version..what is so funny, that this actually failed and then when Straight Up went sky high, this got re-released the way Forever Your Girl's lp mix of this song actually is..radio actually played this as a remix version

[Jerez911]

I love her...!!

[mnmisoemogangsta]

i cannot dance like her, unless i actually get the instructions. lol, shes hard :)

[Gray99]

I like the other video more. But I like this one!

[natureboyinyourface]

isn't she cute?

[PaulaFan18]

Love the tap dancing routines she does. they always great!

[007Rickster007]

Cool tune!
