Paula Abdul - Cold Hearted (Official Music Video) 

And the fact that she choreograpged this BY HERSELF? I love her

"I'm making sure the judges see every word that's coming out of my mouth. As if I was Paula Abdul herself."

Paula Abdul is an icon. She's one of the best choreographers and dancers of all time.

the moment i saw ariana's new music video this song immediately came to my mind. Paula Abdul is a freaking LEGEND and she'll always be famous and relevant.

I don't think anyone could touch Paula or Janet in the 80s with dancing.

"That spinning jump into the splits, I mean COME ON!"

Is Paula still one of the most iconic performers to this day? Yes, and?

The violin part is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pov - you’re here after watching “Yes, and?”

This was *a risky video* back in the day ..now look at the shit on here now

"If you're anything of a dancer this one should be in your bones" Naya❤

Ariana’s fans should listen/watch Paula’s other videos. She had us all in a chokehold in the early 90s. One of the best pop albums EVER. Highly recommend!!!!!! ❤

Who still rocking with Paula in 2024? 🔥👊.

This video and choreo is STILL hot AF!!!!!! One of my favorites off all time.

I was 8 yrs old when I saw this, and thought it was sex on TV...Now, pssh, this is like Disney compared to todays videos.

Paula Abdul Legendary Dancer! 3:02 Never gets old. Nobody compares. Been jammin to Paula since day 1 on my cassette player.She choreographed a lot for Janet Jackson. Iconic!♥️

Alyssa Edwards vs Coco Montrese Lool

I remember my mom said I couldn’t watch this when I was 13. She said it was too provocative. So whenever I would go over to my friends house her mother would let her watch it on MTV. I love this song!! Lol

Watching 👀 in 2024?

I am a pro dancer and I'm telling you, this choreo is incredible and actually so difficult to execute. That breakdown is 🔥🔥🔥 for sure Paula one of the best female dancers of all time.

"that spinning jump into the split? i mean come on!"

That choreography is clean and dirty at the same time, Paula is a beast

The biggest difference between this and "Yes, And?" is Paula Abdul creating and performing a full-ass choreographed dance routine, sweat and all, and not just being lifted from one set piece to another while lip-syncing amateurishly. Sorry. I really like the Ariana song, but that video doesn't compare to this.

Simply brilliant choreography. Still sexier than anything else out there and without nudity. It's not about skin; it's about attitude.

I remember the controversy this music video caused when it was first shown in the 80's. Too brazen for that time. I wonder what those folks think of it now...

Why this choreography is still professionally CURRENT today? Cause not everyone can just do it.. Bravo Paula..you created a timeless piece of choreography for all generations.

It's 2024; and this video STILL remains one of the greatest videos of all time. One of the greatest dance routines ever. Everything about this video is EPIC!

The violin breakdown is the icing on the cake in this one! What a great tune

This song was dedicated to her ex, John Stamos... known for being a *cold hearted snake* lol

Paula Abdul was the queen of choreography during this time. And the choreography is so brilliant that it stands the test of time... *edit: Michael Darrin Choreographed this music video not Paula :)

Ariana grande copied this version of her new song yes and and this is a masterpiece of Paula Abdul I don't think Ariana grande compares to Paula but Ariana Grande yes and new song is catchy and good to but Paula Abdul is prettier then Ariana to better body to. I just love Paula to.

I love how this video is a Fosse, All That Jazz reference. That’s how you know Paula is a for real for real choreographer. Obsessed 🙏🏾

Paula also CHOREOGRAPHED this, she is a MAJOR talent....what Creativity...Paula, you rock girl !

WHO'S STILL LISTENING TO THIS SONG IN 2024 I'M HERE LOVE YOU PAULA ABDUL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The fact that she slayed this while wearing heels! Dope AF💝

paula revolutionized sports the music industry and dance she single handedly transformed the Laker girls, choreographed Janet Jacksons most iconic moves and her own performances. she doesnt get enough credit imo... she upped the game in her own way

Michael Jackson 's THRILLER and Paula's COLD HEARTED = best choregraphies of the 80's

When Ariana grande head copied this music video to cover up her atrocious relationship problems and change her basic style.

Coco's spinning beautifully her outfit works perfectly for her dance move listen she is everything.

Nothing beats the 80s base and synth style. Combined with such amazing choreography, you get a masterpiece 💜

the choreography in this video was so provocative almost explicit for it's time. compared to today's standards it's G rated yet absolutely brilliant. We love you Paula!

Looks like Ariana Grande dervied the premise and imagery of this music video for her music video, "Yes, and..?"

...BEING A RETIRED PRO DANCER, (1983-1993), I actually want to CRY, at the sheer BEAUTY of this choreography; VERY busy, intricate, stylized, and, very, VERY hard to do...It has SO many intricacies..... (cont.) ...The flow of ALL the dancers in the back, matching the frontal dancers with Paula (at 1:23), Paula dancing on a scaffolding in HEELS (1:57), the erotic flow of the 'private' dance (2:25), the VERY practiced 'floorslide' (2:55), the in-tandem spins of ALL the dancers (at 3:02...VERY hard to get...) the sexualized choreography (pre-dating Madonna's "Girlie Show" choreo, by 5 years..) (3:44)... ...THIS Video, NOT "Straight Up", shows Paula's choreography at it's PEAK, and I'm HONORED to have studied it, Summer of 1989....I wasn't chosen, but at least I'm not "Cold Hearted", because of it....(4:18) .... ; )

I just noticed that in the last part of the video in at least a couple of occasions two men are dancing together. Considering that this was 1989, it was pretty groundbreaking!

The difference between overt sexuality and sensuality. One of my faves still.

Anyone else here after Ariana’s new song? 💕

The 80's are the bomb!

Anybody watched her Billboard performance? Wow 2019 and still 🔥

Who’s here after Ariana payed homage to this video ?

Yes and? Brought me here. Ariana litreally copied Paula Abdul.

Timeless hit... It's still cold hearted snakes out here in 2021.

The dancing in this video is AMAZING

I don't think anyone could touch Michael Janet and Paula in the 80s at dancing

This MV is a classic. Choreography is on point. Paula Abdul is a visionary artist who is so ahead of her time. A pop icon and she deserves all the recognition. 💐

Paula was sweating because she put in work! LOL

I love Ariana but, Ari could NEVER dance like Paula. But it is cool of her to pay homage to Queen Paula. I Love her new song Yes, And? ; )

This sensuality and sexuality with clothes!

Paula is one of the best choreographers the music industry has ever seen. And I'm so glad that I grew up during a time where I got to fully enjoy this multi-talented, kick a$$ artist.

Who Is here by Ariana grande Yes, AND?

People: Britney Spears had the best choreography in pop ever! Paula Abdul: Hold my wine.

The choreography is everything!!!! Always was since it first came out!

She hasn't aged at all. Now I see why my mom would make me go in another room when the video came on. 🙈😂

Whos here because of Ari's new song?

I liked Paula back in the day, but now I appreciate her genius. Soo much polish and delicious execution. Standout of her generation and totally underrated.

Pop stars today couldn't match Paula Abdul for talent. She was the best of the 80's.

Ariana girl...this is how it's DONE! 🔥

That lipsync battle to the death between ALYSSA Edwards And Coco brought me here

Now ladies and gentlemen of this day and age that's real dance

God she's 58 years old and I'm still crushing on this woman.

Who's here after seeing Paula's reaction to Ariana Grande's "yes, and?" ?

Who's here after Ariana's yes, and?

Ari is cute but wow this song is still ten times better. No comparison whatsoever.

i remember thinking paula abdul was hotter than buttered toast

here after yes and by ariana grande

Who here remembers having to change the channel if this was playing on MTV and your parents walked in the room?

2:57 The violins! This whole video was ahead of its time. I remember watching it as a kid and was mesmerized, still am.

Back when back up dancers were actually dancers!!

Who's here after Ariana Grande's Yes, and ?

She spun like a bay blade and stopped like it was nothing

She's one of the best choreographers that ever lived!

RuPaul season 5, Miss Alyssa Edwards brougth me here !!! and OMG!! she's so hot!!

I came here after Ariana's music video "Yes, and"

is anyone coming back to this because of Ariana Grande

She is a better dancer than Jennifer Lopez. Paula has fluid style and movements.

Ariana brings me here omg

…are we watching this because of Ari? Yes, and?💋

Paula Abdul was the shit back in the day!

U can see her influence on Janet's early choreography. And that violin breakdown was 🔥

So Yes and? Just copied and pasted most of the concept?

This is why I don’t date dudes from Slytherin.

2:29 “I’m making sure the judges see every word coming out of my mouth like I’m Paula Abdul herself”
