britney Spears,Janet Jackson, Paula Abul best female dancers in the history of music no doubt about each one has a defining dance video this one is paulas
3:48 It actually looks like that guy have an orgasm, he ejaculates in his pants when he had Paula on his lap as she sits on his crotch. But there is nothing strange, Paula is an attractive woman.

Hey my brother choreographed this video and Paula got the credit for it WTF Baruch Cozlo-Darling did it took 6 months to teach her but she got the credit He is the Lead male dancer Paula You should Show respect He is Dead
Hey my brother coriographed this vidio and Paula got the credit for it WTF Baruch Cozlo-Darling did it tok 6 months to teach her but she got the credit He is the Lead male dancer Paula You should Show respect He is Dead
I love this video - I was just explaining to my boyfriend how she hurt herself making this. I'm a bit older than her, but I've been a big fan since her first album. And to others - you DO realize she was their choreographer. Well, at least the Jacksons, including Janet. I thin k this was one of the top 5 sexiest videos of the 80s.
@crunchies14 It is a very good question! I get an erection every time when I dance with my girlfriend and again to this video: I thought in 1989 that this was a very sexy and hot videos and Paula has very sexy legs. And there at 3:30 that guy pulls his crotch against Paula's leg. And there at 3:45 ... Wow! If these guys get erections so I can not blame them, and this is Paula's sexiest video. // Christoffer.
this was my fave video of hers, i would try an copy her moves from this video being a kid LOL i later realized why my mom didnt allow me to copy those moves wwaayy to sexy for a 7 yr old!!!!!
So funny that when this video first came out I was about 10 yrs old and it seemed so racy for the time, and due to my age. But it was definitely pushing the envelope at the time, and now seeing it so many yrs later it seems pretty tame, compared with what is out there now. But still love it.
@Snugs79 Yeah I was about to say, back then it was like, "Good gracious! This is scandalous!" but nowadays, Lady Gaga could give birth onstage and twirl the newborn around and nobody would bat an eyelash.
i dont know if anyone notices this but at 3:31 her mouths not moving but she is supposed to be singing because someone is and its not her. i noticed she was having a hard time to keep up with the lyrics all through the video. but i still think this is a cool video
I wonder if the choreography of this video inspired the dancing for Janet's If video. Either way, still cool, this song and video. Never thought much of the video as a kid, though when this came out. Just grooved to the music. lol
Who the hell is Lady Gaga anyway...? Paula Abdul is the original and she´s so hot in this video! Her voice is so sexy and that woman can dance! This video is from 1989
I remember watching the making of this video and how difficult it was to get just the sliding across the floor part right. Paula's routines look simple, but they are actually technically superior. And she has a GREAT body. Petite yet still gently rounded. Very unique and frankly adorable. Personally, I like her singing as well.
To all you Paula hater- go bite yourself!!! She's one of best out there. Don't judge her by what you've seen on American Idol. That is not the true Paula Abdul. Just admit it........YOU'RE JEALOUS!!!
Princess, Paula Abdul made this video many years ago. Christina A., is a much new comer. Besides Paula was a choreographer before she was a singer. Just google her history you'll see. Good day.
@princessfantay I think thats probably one of the less contentious questions given these two artists are 20 years apart. Many of todays artists have tried to copy much of what went before them and absolutely failed in doing so.
This song is pop perfection matched with breathtaking dance and movement. The song features a dynamic female singe. Many people try to imitate but can not duplicate. The Dance Queen has made her mark. haha Ca ca ca cold hearted, ooh ah ooh ah.
Well I mean still. If you don't like the song just don't say anything. Now if it was a racist song or had something really wrong or offensive to someone or something then I could agree or understand why you would put your opinion in it. You know what I'm saying? But I mean whatever, It's your opinion and I respect it.
@shannon4599usa I mean yeah speak your mind but if you don't like something why waste you time even bothering to comment on it? It makes no sense and it just makes you look like a hater. I have commented on something before a long time ago that i regret because if i didn't like it, i shouldn't have commented. It doesn't matter. One thing though. I'm glad i didn't put a thumbs down for it because other people like it so why should i ruin that for them.
Yes it is from a sequence in the movie "All That JAZZ" with Roy Scheider. . very Sexy AND PROVOCATIVE number featuring Sandahl Bergman DONE IN THE 70'S OR EARLY 80'S.
Damn she rocks in this. Love her dancing, so dedicated and hard hitting. I wasn't even born when this came out. And dancing on heels, its like she's born with that.
very nice memory....i did the same dance when i was in america with some other dancers as a demo......i change alittle of the steps but as of the results it was number one for me i actually won......this is i great video and great song i love alot.....
I like how it starts out hot, what with all the dancing and whatnot.
But...when the shades are pulled down, it goes from hot to BLISTERING. I was fanning myself shortly afterwards. I'm also quite certain that every grown-up American male had to go rub one out after this video aired in 1989.
It makes me laugh reading through this - you can tell the seperation of the ages. Those that know Fosse's "Take off With us" -'79, know Paula did this as an homage '89 to that. Paula 'started ' nothing. Fossee started something. Paula learned well, she even says so. All dancers who are inspired by the masters, do. Problem is the young folks here, haven't a clue. Get one, and give credit to the correct influence, and just kudos to the one inspired by it.
Well, there's really no such thing as true total innovation. Everything is inspired by something that came before. Fosse, for example, was inspired by Jack Cole (the so-called father of theatrical jazz dance) and Jerome Robbins.
Anyway, it's just ignorance for someone not to recognize or know the influence for the choreography in a 20 year old Paula Abdul video. It's not exactly common knowledge.
You are correct, it's not common knowledge --- just mentioned right in the beginning. And then, education in this highly technological world, helps. With that, nothing is secret or uncommon knowledge anymore. :)
Those that copy off of him. And he copied off of others before him as well. He is not unique, but he has a signature. Paula is not unique, but she has a signature as well. But we all give credit to the masters of whom we copy and for this, he was one.
U are right, Paula is amazing. Love most of work but...my comments are directed to this video alone (and not the song). I was a fan of hers when it came out, but also a bigger fan of Fosse and was quite aware of this being a copy of a famous Fosse segment as she herself admitted at the time. She's only LA ex-Basketball cheerleader-made-good I can tolerate.
@Mandi7882 so? I have seen interviews n he dosn't have a problem with this so .. why do u (not being mean) its an amazing video n paula is very talented here as well in all the performances n ect.
By asking me why I have a problem with it begs me to answer: This is pop music and at this time, the beginning of a lot of blatant "borrowing" of other artist's work where the younger generation may believe this is an original idea/work. I am not saying Paula is all guilty of this; but the old saying of it takes a village to raise a child is true for 'choreography' and 'pop music'.
@Mandi7882 ur right it does matter- i dont know who bob fosse is- but even as a kid(which i was at the time) i cud tell this was a cut above- n obviously this fosse is the reason why
totally love it...i did the same dance with other dancers just like this in a contest when i was in america......tough dance.....i love it...thank you for the upload...a very pretty dance...5*****
No, rakshasa7 has the correct reference. The concept and choreography are both inspired by Bob Fosse's "Air-rotica" sequence from All That Jazz. As Abdul herself said when the video was first released, it is her homage to Fosse.
I didn't notice this before but I see Britany Speares (Slave) and Janet Jackson (if) in the choreograghy. Nice! This shows how closely linked the new is with the old.
It's very nice.lol ;)

By asking me why I have a problem with it begs me to answer: This is pop music and at this time, the beginning of a lot of blatant "borrowing" of other artist's work where the younger generation may believe this is an original idea/work. I am not saying Paula is all guilty of this; but the old saying of it takes a village to raise a child is true for 'choreography' and 'pop music'.

@LaotianLover -Paula Abdul did. That's why she paid homage to him with this video.

I think that its hilarious when such an obviously commercial artist does a video where it looks like she is defying those stuffy executives.

That is true.. than again Paula Abdul has choreographed for Janet and Britney Spears has said that Paula is one of her idols.

I've always noticed this in Britney Spear's Womanizer video when she was a waitress.

This video is taken after the movie "Flash dance", where she dances for the judges at the end of the movie!!!
In case you were wondering???

No, rakshasa7 has the correct reference. The concept and choreography are both inspired by Bob Fosse's "Air-rotica" sequence from All That Jazz. As Abdul herself said when the video was first released, it is her homage to Fosse.

I didn't notice this before but I see Britany Speares (Slave) and Janet Jackson (if) in the choreograghy. Nice! This shows how closely linked the new is with the old.

I remember this one , the choregraphy was the only one valuable from Abdul

"A Bob Fosse sort of thing"? It's a direct rip-off of Fosse's 'Air-otica', from "All That Jazz."
