Definitely a disciple of Fosse and Gwen Verdon Paula Abdul is in my opinion the best dancer, choreographer to ever become a pop singer; she was amazing as a dancer amazing!!!
Thanks for the request! The talent of Paula Abdul! “Knocked Out”, “”Straight Up”, “Forever Your Girl”, and “Opposites Attract” are my favorites by her. I haven’t seen this in ages! I grew up in that era! Great reaction from you JJ! 👍🏽👏⭐️😎
The Bob Fosse inspired choreography is top notch. I think Janet re-created it for her "If" video. Also love the Duke Ellington track you have at the opening. Always reminds me of Love Jones.
She was a Choreographer before she started singing. She Choreographed Janet Jackson's Nasty, Control, What Have You Done For Me Lately and When I Think of You videos. She did The Jacksons Torture video, and she choreographed Tom Hanks keyboard dance in the movie Big.
At the risk of ruining the appreciation you are developing for Paula Abdul, the 1st video she choreographed was Torture by the The Jacksons. If you react to that video, remember that she only choreographed the video. That vision was not hers. Lol
JJ, if you haven’t already, check out Ariana Grande’s 2024 music video for “yes, and?” bc it’s an homage to “Cold-Hearted”. ✌🏽_its arrrt jack would be so proud with you coming HARD with requests_ 👏🏾
