Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul rare rehearsal footage 1986

Paula Abdul choreographing Janet Jackson for her 1986 video When I think of you. It's VERY important to note to the haters, and the ones who dont know, Paula didnt teach Janet to dance and Janet dosent NEED choreographers, and when she has them she dosent do what a lazy person would and let the choreographer come up with the entire rutine, Janet puts her ideas in and changes things. Shes still in Control

Paula worked with Janet for Control & Rythmn Nation

Both did well.

Paula went back to dance and emerged on Idol and X Factor

Would love ro have a Janet Jackson Experience on Kinect

@bbozant Nah Paula didnt have anything to do with RN, she had her own music career to take control of, they were each others biggest competition in that 89-91 time

People don't give Paula props for some reason! Paula did not teach Janet to dance but she influenced her dance style! Joe Jackson asked Paula to work with Janet because if you remembered Janet's previous 2 albums before Control, she barely danced! Paula taught some of her swag and moves to Janet. So people need to get their heads out the clouds because Janet had the God Given talent but sometimes it takes another person to bring that talent out more!

Janets dancing greatly improved after Paula began working with her. When Janet was on Fame she had this one annoying step that she did over and over. She didnt have much confidence when she was on Fame because of the stuff she was going throught with James DeBarge. By the time she did Pleasure Principal video she was flawless!!!

I think it's important to distinguish between a choreographer and a dance instructor. Dance instructors teach you how to dance; choreographers develop and teach routines. Using a choreographer does not take away from anyone's natural dance ability. All the greats use them (Michael, Janet, Astaire, Kelly, Madonna, etc). I think anyone would be hard pressed to find an entertainer the does all of their own choreography. Of course they will have their own input.  That's just par for the course.

If ur Brother is Michael Jackson(the GREATEST dancer/entertainer in history) then saying someone else taught Janet how to dance is just IGNORANT!!!!

IMO Paula doesnt even dance as good as Janet,she just choreographed her videos during Janet's Control era!

I would like to ball change with Janet and Paula....give me a "L" for loser if you think this post is corny

@memdiva Very well put! Paula did bring her tech style to Janet during the launch of her career. The two worked very well together and many of the tech moves developed between the two are still used today.
