It's Paula Abdul's first single! Hooray! Hooray! You're excited. Don't deny it. From the "Forever Your Girl" album, here comes the big R&B hit for Paula. It's a low budget video heavy on the dancing on a song produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface. Here is "Knocked Out"...
Why didn't Paula Abdul spank this kid at the beginning of this video for disobeying her orders? By having a bunch of kids in her video, Paula assures herself of being the tallest one in most of the shots. Here she is with another one of her #1 hits, "Forever Your Girl"...

Anytime you can have a video where one singer is real and the other singer is portrayed by an alley cat then you know that you have video gold! Right? It worked for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" didn't it? Oh well, not so much for this three and half minutes of torture. Sorry, Paula, but I hated this video growing up and I don't think too much more of it today. Anyway, here is the #1 hit for Paula Abdul along with MC Skat Kat, from 1989 - "Opposites Attract"...

It's going to be strange this year without Paula Abdul on American Idol telling contestants they look nice or dress pretty... taking you back to 1989 today (did anyone else go with the motto of "We're Feeling Fine, We're the class of '89?)... here is Paula with some sexy dancing and a number one song about how some men suck and are nothing more than cold hearted snakes... it's "Cold Hearted"...

This former Laker girl is still very relevent today, only she's mostly known as an always nice, sometimes out of it judge on the wildly successful show "American Idol"... but back in the late 80's she choreographed many of the Janet Jackson early videos and put out some pure sugary pop hits including this one from 1988 - "Straight Up"...
If you grew up during the 80's and still have a soft spot in your heart for mullets, leg warmers, Pacman, and you still remember who you had a crush on whenever you hear REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling," then I hope you get some enjoyment here as we blast through the world of music videos, tv shows, sports, cartoons, and movie clips from the 1980's.
