daveheel the choreography was very solid. paula herself was a trained dancer. that is why she looked flawless here. she had the technique and deliver the emotions correctly. and the choreo.really really paid attention to the spacial dimention. and the most important was the camera let the artist perform. it u see nowadays stage performance.like this, they tend to take picture with more sophisticated technique. it is meant to produce great picture in the screen, but mostly it fails. simplicity is always best because the artist has looked fabulous already.
@@fullplate100 Music has changed so much, and we now live in an era where social media has taken the place of radio and tv instead.Today's generation prefers more urban sounds and upfront lyrics, raw and explicit content that back in the 90s was not so common to hear or see at least at mainstream Top 40 Radio.
Her songs and her dancing give me chills. It’s insane. I mean who tap dances in their songs??? She fusioned the 30s and 40s with hip hop and r and b. Dang! She’s a queen!
I haven't seen this performance in years, and it still rocks. Paula's a genius, and I always wondered why she only released three albums. She's a great dancer, and knows how to hold a crowd's attention without being gimmicky.
She don't sing but man can she perform! I don't really watch her but this is amazing! The timing transition, synchronized movement, just everything flawless! Mad respect!
***** Award shows and concerts are designed as a mix of both visuals and music; if all the audience wanted was her voice, they'd have stayed home. Most performers lip-synch at least some of the time, especially if the production requires a lot of fast or repetitive movements. I'd challenge anyone who disputes this to try singing full volume while running on a treadmill, or skipping rope...all the while maintaining consistency.
I was born in 1980...grew up with all of this awesome talent on tv all the time. Im 41 now..seeing this for the 1st time...and damn...that was pure awesome. 2021 sucks...nobody does it like this, and hasnt for a long time
I gotta say I fell down the Abdul rabbit hole today & have watched this production in amazementat least a dozen times. Even to the stair step backs. Plus, this song has always been clever & happy dance track to hear. ZThat audience in 1990 must have been stunned. Damn.
I prbly already commented a million times here, but THIS PERFORMANCE👑 IS SUCH PERFECTION!❤️ Like it's literally undouplicable. Her entire performance is the best choreo i've literally ever seen. Like better than Beyonce, yup. Like, let's be real. Paula knows HOW TO DANCE man.😎 She just hot.
@@ST-nz4bf 🏆 TH-cam's Oscar winning comment of the evening 🏆 Don't get me wrong I also love Janet Jackson and it kinda ticks me off that she doesn't recognize Paula's contributions to her success as a dancer and performer. Paula was the one who cultivated her period. Look at Angela Winbush's Run To Me and see the eerie striking resemblance to Janet Jackson performances and why🤔 cause Paula taught both of them. Paula was/is phenomenal. Madonna is my 💗💛💗 but she can't touch Paula. Very rare and seldom di you find an album/CD were every cut is a phenomenal hit and Paula's Forever Your Girl is one of those rare gems and every video from it is sensational.
Let me tell you all something you already know: ain't a snowball's chance in hell that a person can dance with this intensity... and sing in tune at the same time. SHE'S "LIP-SYNCING"! And that's fine, too!! The # is fabulously performed!
Yes we all know singing and dancing at the same time would be horribly sounding. Mariah Carey don't dance while she sings and that's for a reason. If you want it to look good and sound good, you gotta lip sync. Janet jlo britney, they all do it for that reason. Won't sound good
fullplate100 -- it's fine. Not a problem. There's too many moving parts and variables to be singing "live" and expect "studio" quality... THAT would be TOTALLY nuts.
Man, I watched this over and over on video casette for such a long time. She was my choreographic inspiration, and has always been. Such a beautiful artist and person. Love you Paula! xj
You should see some of BTS' iconic performances (like their performance of ON at the Grand Central Station, or DIONYSUS 2019 MMA, BUTTER at the Grammy Awards, and finally, IDOL at Melon Music Awards 2018 which took stage performance to an entirely new level (just watch the intro alone...it's marvelous).
I love the frenetic, super upbeat remix they used for this performance. I’ve never been able to find this exact version of the song (other than this performance).
One of the instances where lip syncing was COMPLETELY acceptable. Paula really gave us an award-winning performance of a lifetime!
uh yeah...she had to execute double pirouettes , etc here, the lip syncing was fine with me lol
I agree. You have to deliver the goods when you do this, and she does this each time. I saw her live and it was electrifying.
unforgettable dance performance. and that's why it won an emmy for outstanding choreography.
daveheel well deserved award I'm.still in its awe inspiring

It still amazes me today knowing she won an award for a performance on another award show. Has anyone else ever done that?
The bass player is a bad ass
@@antcar1375 All the time. There are categories at the Grammys for Live Events, and the directors of the Oscars are often up for Emmys.
That synchronised split is everything.
You know it! 👍
Absolutely ♥️, that was amazing. You should see the intro.these guys can dance and really dance too. check out the complete version.
She's one of the best choreographers,that's for damn sure!
She the best pop singer (fun pop).
Why cant we have these days back? :(
Garrett, would be somethin', wouldn't it.

She's awesome but dang those dancers deserve applause 👏
She's old !
@I time Those Men were REAL DANCERS!!! Classically trained. None of that ghetto hip hop bullsh1t!
@@dabigd1860 racist.
Her moves are so clean and effortless.
Her songs and her dancing give me chills. It’s insane. I mean who tap dances in their songs??? She fusioned the 30s and 40s with hip hop and r and b. Dang! She’s a queen!
This performance is all jazz dance with the exception of the tap section.
The fact that she still did those moves while holding the microphone to her mouth and in heels, despite it being lipped, is pretty cool.
I haven't seen this performance in years, and it still rocks. Paula's a genius, and I always wondered why she only released three albums. She's a great dancer, and knows how to hold a crowd's attention without being gimmicky.
A cartoon cat, is incredibly gimmicky.
And she's definitely lip syncing.

She only used the MC Skat Cat character for one music video, and many award-show performances are at least partially lip-synched.
Moviefan2k4 she had a greatest hits album too but the third album didn't do well. i'm sure she fulfilled her contract.
It was medical. She was in a plane crash during her last tour. She is genius.
She don't sing but man can she perform! I don't really watch her but this is amazing! The timing transition, synchronized movement, just everything flawless! Mad respect!
Its very difficult to sing live while putting so much energy into a complex dance number. Even the best musicians struggle with it.

oh i agree but at an award show doing one routine there should be some kind of live singing.A full out concert is a different story.
She sings in nice way, better than britiny or Madonna.
Somebody here after the 2019 Billboard's performance? 😅
I was just about to ask the same question.
Me!
Gustavo Caro Palma totally. Girl in my office (some intern) talking about she didn’t know Paula. Come here. Let me show you a real pop star.
Yes yes yes
Mee
One of the coolest and well choreographed, produced and danced numbers on an awards celebration! 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️
Ahhhh to be 12 again seeing this for the very first time in 1990.
Fantastic memories
What a flawless choreography..
Such a flawless choreography..perfect dance..
I remember seeing this as a kid and was completely blown away!!! 2019 mind still blown!! She was incredible!!
Lookin at this man I miss the 90s
I need to learn this choreography ASAP 😻

This is so perfect! Paula Abdul is the best choreographer/entertainer for me. ❤️
What did i just watch!? jaw drop.
That is killer choreography.
What an amazing performance.
I remember this night like it was yesterday, Paula was at the top of her game that night. Bobby brown wasn't too bad either.
Everything about this performance is perfect
paula abdul look great at 1990 music awards !!
she (and of course her amazing dancers) popped all the way off on that stage. and she was in heels!!! 🥰🥰🥰
She is still at it at 61! An incredible choreographer wow!! Paula has trained some of the most successful singers in history!
That's mind blowing
I came to see this after watching her 2019 Billboards. Not bad 30yrs almost and still amazing.
She choreographed videos for Janet. And Janet took those moves into another demetion. Brilliant performance Paula and great album. Bravo ❤🎉
I don't think I will ever put a performance by anyone on top of this. I mean just WOW

Best male pop dancer and choreographer in history is Michael Jackson.
Best female pop dancer and choreographer in history is Paula Abdul.
👌Sho Yo Rite👌
Madonna 💅👠
Helga Fever Madonna is very Good. But Paula Abdul is just on a another level !!! I’ve never seen such slick choreography in my life!!

Award shows when they were the greatest!! Long Live Paula Abdul!!!
One of the few performances that has brought me to tears, it is so perfect!!!
I thought of this performance while driving home from work and my eyes started to tear up just from the memory.
This generation is lacking severely!
I did not know she was the best performer in the world :o
I can never get tired of watching this. 🔥❤️👍
i believe Paula created this coreography
IN 2020 😍😍😍 I LOVE U PAULA ABDUL
This woman is a fantastic dancer and choreographer! Damn Paula!!!
And singer
this is iconic behavior, I fear
