      The songwriting is absolutely fantastic here. (Provided you catch the double meaning of it.) But I also think that this is Paula's best vocal! Yes, she was nominated for best female pop vocal for Straight UP, but that song is not nearly as difficult to sing.@@darrellthomas884

      @@mmyers6441 'Cute as a button?' Not that buttons are unattractive or anything, but I always wondered where that expression came from, exactly? I can think of many things that are much cuter than buttons are! And Paula Abdul is certainly One!

    Funny, but my 30 year old son saw this video for the first time last night and asked when Paula Abdul put this out. I told him the late 80s. His immediate reaction was "I guess everyone wanted to be Janet Jackson back then." I laughed and explained that it was Paula Abdul who choreographed Janet Jackson's video "Nasty" which basically rebooted her career. He was flabbergasted. See, always something to teach these young whippersnappers. 😉

      Randall Clarkson I agree. It was one of the first singles released on "Forever Your Girl" and wasn't as popular as the album finally got more airplay a year after it was released, so it is definitely critically underrated. The re-release with the Shep Pettibone remix doesn't do the original version justice.

      RestlessRick this is probably my favorite song about her even though it’s not the most popular. Paula was a dance instructor and she would create the choreography for a lot of the professional basketball teams dancers. Later on she became an NBA dancer herself. I had no idea she had a heck of a! Voice until she came out with her first song straight up. Hard to believe this was 30 years ago because my daughter is 30 and I was pregnant in my first trimester when straight up came out. Now it’s amazing to look back 30 years to see how our musicians used to wear clothes at one time😂😂 nowadays most musicians where is a little of nothing as possible and the queen bee herself, Beyoncé, looks great and absolutely anything. I knew when Destiny’s Child came out around 1999 or so that Beyoncé had something special.
