    I hope everyone gives Paula her dance history due!!! She is a trained technical jazz, modern and tap dancer who choreographed her own videos in the 80's and used jazz dance technique. She also choreographed for Janet Jackson (What Have You Done For Me Lately, Nasty Boys) in the 80's. The 80's is when technical jazz dance became very popular outside the "dance world" thanks to the explosion of 80's dance movies (Fame, Flashdance, etc.)and the introduction of MTV (1981) and music video choreographers like Paula. This particular video is her homage to jazz dance legend Bob Fosse. If you watch his movie "All That Jazz" , you will see the scene she was honoring with this video and she has given credit to him in public for influencing her. Some of the singers you see today do NOT give credit to those who came before them and most of them today are NOT doing their own choreography. I always make sure to include her in my dance history lessons.Props to Paula Abdul!!

      Bob Fosse had that going on in the movie All That Jazz, which was about 10 years earlier. That's where the style of dance in this video comes from--even the metal scaffolding on the set, the costumes, and a lot of other touches. (I didn't see the movie until long after this video came out, so I didn't know it at the time!)

      Right, it hecka gives you some ideas but if you look at her beauty and her ability, as an instructor, and how much he has invested, it would be a discredit to the industry and her safety to pursue such choreography without putting a few safeguards in place. Beyond that statement, what the fuck do you want her to look like and how many fucking risks do you need a bad ass bitch thats talking to a bunch of futuristic snake motherfuckers that don't pay so much as $20 bill to watch her preform? If I was her agent, she would either have what she needed right fucking now, or go get a walker.

    ...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'm surprised how many comments say she's not that great. Or this video is okay; but straight up shows she hasn't any real talent. Heck: Looking at her career tells the truth. Like: When A list people need someone they came to her. Look at the awards she has. Many came straight from the dance world. A lot of ppl leaving those comments miss that this video is more of a tribute than a showcase for her to sing a pop song. Obviously it has Bob Fosse all over it. Much from All That Jazz is used. I think it also shows the devotion of dancers. To work until their feet bleed to get it right. But this is my view. & I posted it b/c yours & the replies to it are mostly from dancers. And i wonder if I'm maybe ight. Or if I'm reading o much into just a video.

      As a pro dancer, do you think Madonna is a good dancer? There was an argument in another thread where a few people were sparring back and forth about who was the better dancer. Janet Jackson or Madonna. I don't think Madonna can dance at all. But, then again, I'm not an expert. That's why I wanted to know what your professional opinion is.

      Britney is ok as a dance artist. But when I looked back, she just dance for the sake of dancing. No substance at all.
