  1. Many years ago it was Madonna , Janet and then came Paula. All three were huge . Paula at one point exploded in popularity. She was huge back in the day . Straight up, Cold Hearted , Forever your girl…etc. Yet society ripped her voice apart because she did not have a powerhouse voice. She was no Mariah or Whitney . Yet she found her niche. After time she just left..She said she suffered a lot of injuries from dancing and a plane crash . She then had to take meds for pain and injuries she suffered. Paula left music to focus on her health. Paula then returned strong with the launching of American Idol. She was the only known celebrity when it started up . Yet I never thought she got the credit she deserved. During the years she was on meds. Sometimes she said and looked out there. Society joked about Paula . Kinda like they did when Britney was medicated on Idol. That always bothered me. Yet Paula held her own and was a strength and an important reason her Simon and Randy became huge again. Then she left because the men got paid more and yet she deserved equal pay ? I only tuned in for her and the talent . Then I loved her sparring with Simon. Yet It showed how women still have far to go in equal pay . Paula Abdul was a Great Entertainer …she use to know her limits and worked on strengthening her voice. She could dance . She is still a talented choreographer to this day . A few years back at an award show she slayed a performance ( with a little lip sinking, I think dancing like that you have to ) . Shes almost 60 , still gorgeous and still a sweetheart . Would the world like another Paula Album? I actually would love to hear more songs from her . If you liked her? Did you have a song favorite? Do you even care about Paula ? Your thoughts? I will always love her.
  2. When you're a dance act, you're follow album should launch with a heavy dance track. But if you're Virgin Records and Paula Abdul, who are in the middle of a lawsuit being accused of not actually being the real voice behind the megahits of the first album. You launch your highly anticipated project with a ballad, a risk that paid off. 5 weeks at #1, at that time the longest female #1 hit since Madonna's 1984 hit "Like a Virgin", and a video that paid tribute to Rebel without a cause, you have the perfect Summer romance anthem of early 90s teens, plus having Keanu Reeves in the video doesn't hurt either, who was enjoying his teen idol status.
  3. Before Britney spears, there was Paula abdul, who was packaged by Virgin Records as the girl next door.. Unlike Britney, Paula wasn't a teenager. She was 26 years old when her iconic debut album 1988's Forever your girl dropped, and at that time teenage pop stars was very rare. So reading those teen mags like 16, BB And bop.. The average pop star was late 20s and early 30s. Paula was a huge staple Thx to a huge resurgence again fueled by a Las Vegas residency, a universally acclaimed billboard music awards performance and a judge staple on the masked dancer where fox proudly called Paula Abdul, the first lady of dance is making new music. Her first album in almost 30 years since 1995's Head over heels.. Who's ready for one of Dance music stars to return.. Come on, she's forever our girl.
  4. 31 years ago in 1989, Paula Abdul got her second Got 100 #1 with the title track, "Forever Your Girl." The song was remixed for its single release. The album version nears 5 minutes and didn't have a radio edit. At that time, it wasn't a secret that record labels would remix singles to get more money from the sales of the singles. This was also rush released by Virgin Records America, inc. because in February, Paula Abdul had her first big #1 hit with "Straight Up." Virgin was close to dropping her cause the album wasn't selling, and her first two singles, "The Way That You Love Me" and "Knocked Out" both flopped. Head of A&R of Virgin at that time, Gemma Corfield, said for a new artist to have back-to-back flops is... bad. Paula even said Virgin executives threw up their arms and said, well, Paula, it might not work... But her gay best friend said thanks to her persistence and her instincts, she knew Straight Up was a hit (hough her own mother called the track a throwaway). Paula's instincts proved right, and in her home video for Virgin detailing Forever Your Girl, Paula said, We just saw Straight Up keep climbing even though we had no video. The track itself hit #1 way before a video was shot. Virgin had to find another single to satisfy the new found interest in Forever Your Girl. The video itself features a young Elijah Wood, and other celebrities like Nikki Cox. I'll also share the driven part of this era. At the time, you had Madonna and all these sexed up vixen type pop stars, and here was Paula Abdul at 26. Being a role model for kids that parents approved of. It might sound shocking, but at one point, the average age of entering the music industry was closer to your 30s or mid 20s (versus the teenager like how it is today).
  5. Kylie Minogue recorded a Paula Abdul track titled "I'm Just Here For the Music." While it definitely fits the Body Language urban pop vibe, Paula's disco take delivered what Kylie's failed to do. A dance track about dancing.
