Stupid dislikes! How can someone stumble upon this video of Paula then say they don't like it? The video is crystal clear as well as its audio. The song is awesome, truly a classic! This one's my all-time favorite from Paula and I love it sooo much! Those guys who dislike this video, for whatever their reason, should have a bad taste for music or simply having a plain idiotic sick attitude, some by flaunting their homophobic idiosyncrasy!
This song came out right before my life became riddled with loads of unexpected stress and sadness that lasted for most of the 90's....I love it for simply taking me back to a happier simpler time. Also a totally awesome love tune.
@cherubicnerd Not sure if someone already answered your question about this being a sample or a cover but this always reminded me of that song I THINK its called Cats In The Cradle?? Just how its arranged...
Yo, I love her rendition of this song too! Hey, what's the name of the guy that comes in at the end of the song, he has a great voice too!? Anyone know?
beautiful song, string arrangements, and coreography - but her singing absolutely SUCKS! ruins the whole thing. i wouldn't have minded a little milli vanilli like cover up on the vocals. she's a great dancer
This beautiful song definitely is one of those underrated songs.The piano,melody,lyrics,dancing and her voice blends together perfectly.I was mesmerized when I first saw this music video.Not many videos can do that to me anymore.
I was in Middle School when this song came out, and now that im 31.. I STILL LOVE IT!!!! My favorite part then and now from the video is when the dancers are flying in the air!
To all those who are dissing Paula......remember, this is where todays singers and dancers found their roots. Without the past there is no future. Without the shoulders of others to stand on these and others would have fallen on nothing.
Paula Abdul would have no career without janet jackson, and paula didn't "teach" janet how to dance she had raw talent, could learn a whole routine in one take Madonna, Paula they all had former training in dance Janet had none. Paula said she was a natural in an interview.
blue dragon, i dont think it slipped away, all my friends at school still sing paulas songs, but not madonnas or janets. there would be no janet unless paula taught her how to dance. paula is just as famous and famous as the rest
Paula was actually just as famous as Madonna or Janet Jackson but it slipped away from her. For a year or two she was very famous. I was 19 when this came out. I remember how popular she was.
@bluedragon4 thats right.. she actually beat madonna and janet a couple of times for awards and she sold the same amount as both of them! Madonna, Janet, and Paula used to be called the queens of the 80s and early 90s
the american idol show,under paid and let go the true star and best judge of the show! ellen is a silly clown who should be a judge of miss america that would be her favorite job
I am NOT a Paula hater - I worshiped her growing up..used to try and dance like her...wrote her 2 fan letters..I LOVED her.... but it's kind of funny watching these..cuz she really can't sing *covers head* sorry!!! but I still love her she was part of my childhood
I agree with you tvfanatic14. This is a cool cut. Paula Abdul may not have risen to the heights of Madonna or Celine Dion or Beyonce, but she ranks up there. She a sumpin'-sumpin'.
@tvfanatic14 She was very talented, it's just that during that time she was being compared to "vocal power houses" like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Taylor Dayne. Nowadays she would be considered good compared to autotuned singers like Kesha, Drake and Enrique Iglesias.
It's just that her music was lumped with the whole 80s synthpop backlash in the early 90s especially with her MTV VMA 1991 performance.
@wxyzdetroit I think you've caught it exactly. She was such a unique performer and the enterainment industry never seems to know quite what to do with "unique". In an '80s interview Paula said she was told "Forever Your Girl" was just "not happening"--but they tried to market her as a singer (as you say in the Whitney-Mariah-Taylor mode) and audiences weren't impressed. Then finally the "Straight Up" video was released and sales (and her career) took off.
@tvfanatic14 This video was not underrated. Though it didn't make it to the #1 spot. It did have steady play on MTV and reached up to #6 on U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was another major hit for Paula. Its a beautiful ballad and Paula's angelic voice sings is so beautifully.
...it's the desperate call of two eager to become one FOREVER...time seems to go stagnant,seems to deter from moving when love seems to tarry...don't quench love maidens till comes...
I'm 45 and this song really marvelous, with spark, originality, including choreography...too sleazy for me now,but for that time I guess it was acceptable, it's the desperate love call of a woman for her man, it can just be quiet, it can't go away even when grows cold, love does not grows, every second every drop of tears, every heart beat, seems endless between the woman and her man...
Her music will never die every song she ever did was totally quality .....she is a beautiful artist who I believe still has it she needs to get away from idol and start singing again ....Just my opinion
I was 22 yrs of age when this song came out on radio and I totally fell in love with it. I used to day dream about about cute guys all day when this song came on and it was awesome!
