I remember dancing to this when I was in fourth grade at one of our dance recitals and we all wore different neon spandex shorts and matching crop tops lol but we killed it! I also was invited to take a master class with The Paula Abdul in Denver, Colorado when I was 13 and she gave me so many industry contacts that turned out to be the beginning of my professional dance career! I’m forever grateful to Ms. Paula Abdul❤

Paula Abdul started out as a dancer, a Laker girl, then became the head choreographer for the Laker Girls and choreographed music videos for Janet Jackson. Later, she was signed to Virgin Records as a singer.

That was when Paula and Arsenio were a couple. She dated Janet's oldest brother Jackie when she was a Laker Girl (in the Magic Johnson Showtime era) before being Janet's choreographer for the first Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis album.

"Straight Up" is the breakthrough song for Paula from her debut album, Forever Your Girl (1988); it was released as the third single. The song became her first top 40 hit before going on to be her first chart-topper on the Hot 100. To this date it is still Paula's biggest international hit to date, reaching the top 10 in at least 16 countries. Please react to Paula Abdul - "Rush Rush."

Paula Abdul one of the best choreographer's of all time. She helped choreograph some of Janet Jackson's videos. Nasty Boys was one of them.

Please check out some of her other iconic hits: Cold Hearted Snake, Knocked Out, Rush, Forever Your Girl. This was a nice surprise💯🔥🔥🔥

I'm not a fan of Paula Abdul's singing (no judgment, just my feelings), but "Straight Up" was and still is the jam! Her dance intro was sick. Yeah, you saw Janet Jackson in her dance moves because Paula Abdul taught her well. She was the choreographer for Janet's videos "Nasty", "Control", and "What Have You Done for Me Lately?". However, before that, she worked with Janet's brothers (The Jacksons) when she created the dance routine for the video for their song, "Torture" AND was then hired as the choreographer for their "Victory Tour" in 1984. 😀

Straight Up" became paula's first top 40 hit in the United States, before going on to be her first chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100. Her first two singles had been modest hits that had sparked only mild interest in her album, but "Straight Up" helped the album reach the top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, before it finally reached number one following a record-setting 64 weeks on the market after spawning three more number-one hits. "Straight Up" brought Abdul widespread public attention, and has remained as her biggest international hit to date, reaching the top 10 in at least 16 countries. The song was also included in her six compilation albums, released between 1998 and 2013. J.Cole also just sampled her song for his single "work out"

@JayGHDTTP Жыл бұрын

This was a #1 jam in 90'! Paula was an OG Laker Girl & Janet's choreographer for Janet's "Control" album. Paula is actually in Janet's "What Have You Done For Me Lately" and "Nasty" music videos dancing with her and she choreographed Janet's "Pleasure Principle" video. Arsenio is in this video because he and Paula were an item at the time.
