I had the Spellbound tape, yes I said “tape”. I was 16 years old and use to sneak out of my house at night. This song reminds me of that era. Good times. Thanks Paula ♥️
i never understood why this song never got the same radio play all of her teeny bopper hits got back in the late 80s. this song is truly her best, a real masterpiece.
The single went to #6 on the Billboard Pop charts. It also, I thought, garnered her a Grammy nomination for Best Pop vocal...I could be wrong, though. I agree, it doesn't get played in the 21st Century the way her other dance-oriented singles did...and this is her masterpiece, in my mind since 1991.
@@swankhood she had 6 number ones. 3 consecutive then a number 3 with the song Its just the way that you love me. Then had another 3 consecutive number ones..
My wife and I played this song for our wedding. Twenty six years later I was unable to play it at her funeral. She survived cancer twice and MS but a disease created in a Chinese bio warfare lab was too much. RIP Lisa.
Thomas, though we do not know one another... this song tugs at the heart. Songs like this they never played enough on the radio. On a second note: very sorry to hear of the loss of your wife, especially the "created jab" that was conceived. Of late, many are experiencing its venom presently. Keep your eye on Jesus, not the world, though sometimes hard. Sorry again for your loss. "love knows not of its own depth until the hour of separation" = kind regards!
So sorry all of that was BS every family that lost a member for that bs should get relegations.Goverment paid hospitals for every death they said was a COVID death and they racked up in my state
My heart goes out to you Thomas. I believe a man who has this type of sentimentalism for his wife as you have for your dearest will enjoy eternal life with her.
The lyrics are STILL HEART WRENCHING. The choreography is breath taking. The piano solo MOVES me still. I continue to FEEL this selection. Reminds me of a couple of my ex(es)... *Tear trickles down my cheek...still*
One of the most beautifullest songs i've ever heard from one of the most beautifullest ladies in the world. The one and only...Ma Lady Paula Abdul, love you baby.💕🌹😘😍
Song had a lot of 'painful...deep meaning for me, in '91 when this was out. A Girl. Mary. Never forget her..... gone into 'time' now.... where ever you are Mary....despite all the pain and longing and rejection....i still 'feel something'...when this plays.
one of my favorite songs of all time. monumentally underated. on a broad note, Paula Abdul's had legit skills and was by no means a "pop tart" or any of other goofy te that's easy to spout from the immortal Monday morning quarterbacker's of pop criticism. she wasn't Madonna, or Janet, but she deserved to be in their company for the length of her first two albums. in that 3-5 year era, this broad was on fire. To think that her less than Celine Dion (yet one in a million) vocal range ultimately shaped the image of her legacy. Now Paula Abdul's voice circa 1992ish would be considered a better technical singer than 75% of current singers. congrats if you made it through my little rant down memory lane 😂
What? She's no Madonna?? They are almost the same, similar voice and sound! They are almost the same, maybe at least vocally! She's really no Celine Dion nor Whitney Houston 😂
I think some songs never lose their appeal. You can tell by the fact that you like to listen to these songs again and again. Even if the song is almost 30 years old.
1992. Broke up with my one love , I'm sweeping up the parking lot at a grocery store got some crappy little part-time job at midnight In the distance I hear a parked car playing this painfully beautiful pillowy, beckening song and decide to call her back we've been married ever since.
Heard this while grocery shopping, had forgotten about this incredible masterpiece / video. Had to go to my car pull up this video and burst into sobbing tears. Brought back so many many memories. Bless you Paula 💖
For me, this is the best song from Paula Abdul, I get goosebumps when I listen to this song, and the song makes you think. Well done Paula and I'm glad to have your music on CD. Regards.
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!! Paula Abdul is a phenomenally talented dancer and her voice is gold. I like a lot of her songs, and she is a Great Talent. I truly believe her music will last rhrough the Ages. Todays Generation really should try out the 1970s , 1980s, 1990s music. The best of talents, and it would be great to see her music played on more local radio instead of just Satellite Radio. MTV was so great, sure do miss it. Thank goodness for DVDs and CDs with Vinyl Albums..Paula Abdul is Lightning in a Bottle. ⚡😏
I remember when I was in the 8th grade back then calling the radio station Z100 in NYC to request this song. The operator said they’d play it for me because it’s such a great song! And they did play it a few minutes after my call!
Honestly i really miss Paula Abdul. Her voice is very unique when the dj plays her songs on the radio u can guess that is Paula Abdul. I really hope that sooner or later she will make a new album. Singers like her should never be forgotten.
I love Paula Abdul so much. She is one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. This song is also one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. You've got to have heart to do a song like this and she's got a beautiful heart. I can't imagine anyone else's voice on this song.
Paula Abdul is soo underrated for her vocals but she in fact is, super versatile. And what a brilliant choreographer. She's unmatched! I love her and can't wait to see her in concert this fall❤❤❤
This will always be a favorite of mine. My childhood comes rushing back whenever I hear this beautiful song. The arrangement is beautiful, and I even bought the instrumental version. Love Paula!
I remember when I played this album as soon as I got Home from school. I went inmediately to my room and I was transported a different dimension with "Spellbound"
What I love and shall remember that this is an immaculate piece of songwriting! Peter Lord bloody fantastic, especially that ending with the violins man and chord changes!

Paula Abdul was a force during her peak.
Still is
I'm Shellie I'm 40 yrs old! This is ONE of top FAVORITE FROM PAULA ABDUL
This was her best song what a masterpiece it gives me chills till this day ❤️
Me too, breaks my heart to hear it. I was , " lost in France, in love," at the time.
Ya it was the best
I love that song myself
I totally agree 100% I love this song!!!
It's definitely her best song and one of the best songs of the 90's.
Perhaps one of the most underrated songs of the 90s. An exceptional ballads that is both smooth and timeless.
Lol it's underrated, because it really is not that good, especially the singing.
I got to agree with you James. This is one of her finest songs.
It's a sad, wonderful song.
The video is gushingly gorgeous. I love Paula's vocals. Always will. It may not be the best but she sings from her soul. Great dancer and performer.
I would play it endlessly back in the day on
I had the Spellbound tape, yes I said “tape”. I was 16 years old and use to sneak out of my house at night. This song reminds me of that era. Good times. Thanks Paula ♥️
I have the LP
💋💕💋
The good ole days!
After the BillBoard Awards,i got back into her,i had all her tapes as well
The best times. I miss my teenage years everyday.

Underrated album. A lot of her heart and soul shines on this album.
Danielle Marin this is an amazing piece by her her BEST
Kazmadai A #1 album is not the definition of underrated.
AnthonyRUclipsFan Grammy nom was for Straight Up. She won a Grammy for the opposites attract music video.
This song deserved to be a massive massive hit. One of her best vocals and a beautifully shot video. I don't get why it didn't connect.
It reached #6 in the US. It broke her 7 consecutive #1 hit streak
It was, YT cut like 100 times the views and suggestions, easily, they know will crush any today's song.
@@swankhood she had 6 number ones. 3 consecutive then a number 3 with the song Its just the way that you love me. Then had another 3 consecutive number ones..
@@JadeK297 wrong 6 in a row. consecutively. Google it
@@swankhood @JadeK297 is correct. YOU Google it.
This song is now 30 years old and still sounds as fresh today. Truly a classic
I know Paula will always be remembered for Idol and her uptempo stuff, but I actually really enjoyed her ballads.
I was feeling this song when it came out. The choreography is beautiful.
thank you.
its so sad she was underrated
i am so happy for her and the
american Idol role she has played
Sal Valenzuela handsome......
Allen M. Quinn Hi Allen
I can't believe it's taken me 30 + plus to finally see this music video. I loved the song when I first heard it in 1991. Devine!
Out of all her songs, this one is my favorite. Never get tired of hearing it. It's beautiful.
I agree. I think this is a beautiful song. I used to play next to Whitney’s all the man I need.
Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Estoy acá en 2022 escuchando esta joya atemporal.
well said ! I FEEL THE LOVE smooches to my girl one day RIP SWEET HEART !
True that!
This was an underated album and good song
Underrated song for us who have an exquisite taste in music.
My wife and I played this song for our wedding. Twenty six years later I was unable to play it at her funeral. She survived cancer twice and MS but a disease created in a Chinese bio warfare lab was too much. RIP Lisa.

Anthony Marx , me too .
I remember thinking that this was the most beautiful song ever when it came out. I still do.
Next to Pebbles song Always
It's so gorgeous that it makes my heart cry
As great as this song is and as popular as she was, it's crazy how after 10 years on RUclips, the video has less than 1 million views.
One of the most beautifullest songs i've ever heard from one of the most beautifullest ladies in the world. The one and only...Ma Lady Paula Abdul, love you baby.💕🌹😘😍
Love this song!
Directed by Directing Duo "Big TV!"
Monty Whitebloom, Andy Delaney, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
This is beautiful
Made me cry back then... Still does now. The strings people... THE STRINGS!!!!!!!
@djROLi Xtraordinair Wow! You must be pretty sensitive. Because well I didn't even cry.
Beautful.song pretty
I\m tunes it ..iknow what you mean.
Yep gets me every time! ❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. The memories come flooding back like a tidal wave.
A very cold and harsh tidal wave.
I believe that it was written for her by Prince
@@johnwisniewski8712 nope wrong. It was written by Peter Lord, who also wrote "Rush Rush" and who plays keyboards a d sings backup on this song.
@@johnwisniewski8712 nah , Prince wrote another song on that album

Dude on the background vocals was killin' it!
Right? He's the one that wrote this song.
Yeah love it
I thought that was Sandra St. Victor singing background in the break.
Every thing about this is perfect!!!!!!!!!
Peter Lord. He wrote the song
The absolute best Paula song!!
love this song!
Steve Kioussis anything out of her mouth is her best song
@@Ralfjones this song and promise of a new day
RUSH so is that one all though the video clip could have been much better it does not make justice to that beautiful song : )
Idiots! Straight Up and Rush Rush are the best
Every time I hear this song it gives me goosebumps ....favorite song ever

madonna is a way better singer! they not the same!
Incredible choreography. Absolutely beautiful. Paula looks fabulous. Makes me nostalgic.
A girl I dated gave me the Spellbound cassette. What a gift it was. We used to sit and hold each other and listen to the whole album. Good memories!
Paula danced to express emotion. Today's singers dance to titillate strangers.
I think some songs never lose their appeal. You can tell by the fact that you like to listen to these songs again and again. Even if the song is almost 30 years old.
1992.
Broke up with my one love , I'm sweeping up the parking lot at a grocery store got some crappy little part-time job at midnight

Yup, Glad it worked out. Music is an intregal part of Our Lives.
i feel young again when i hear this
8th grade LOL
Try elementary school! O_____.
I feel so young listening to this. Great times!
Me too.. Hahaha
You are still young ;)
They don't make them like this anymore
+8th child They make nothing worthwhile anymore.
👍👍👍
VERBATIM. -__________-
But then she'd be singing about love AND black magic &/or spirits more than likely. :/ That's what's "in" these days. -____-
Natasha Figueroa so true

I was so lucky I watched her in concert and they were all in harnesses during this song and started flying around stage. It was so amazing💖
The most beautiful song I have ever heard. ......beautiful..talented..Paula Abdul
***** i know and i love miss paula abdul she's soooo beautiful i wish that was me and that video all on top of her like that.lol

The way she dances here is so beautiful and so elegant. It's almost like she dancing on the clouds. Wow. 💖💖💖💖💖
I remember this song and video. It's hard to believe it's over 30 years-old.

Paula Abdul is killing it on this track.
Thumbs up if this could have been a James Bond movie theme.
Totally agree ❤
Definitely better than several of the themes used since that era

She was so great in her day. The choreography is really well done. My fav song of hers.
Such an awesome ballad! She is a national icon! I will never stop loving Paula Abdul!
When We hear songs like this on today's trending songs We know faith have been restored!
The vocal & track is perfect. Whoever mixed it was spot on. So smooth.
I just listened to this song 50 times on replay and was cured. She is Beautiful and this song is a Masterpiece. Thank you Paula.
2021 and i'm having a serious Paula fever lol.

Thanks for the memories!!!
Paula could really sing awesome and high quality love ballads.. this is the evidence 🌻
Love the choreography, the dancing is so beautiful
She is such a beautiful artist!!! She is also an amazing dancer.
This video is so amazing. It’s the rawest and most technical Paula you’ll see at the same time.
great back up singer..really adds to the song
celatub his vocals are so underrated in this song
He wrote the song. His name is Peter Lord
Paula Abdul is pure essence of early 90s. A spectacular performance, such a lovely ballad. Thanks for sharing, forever our girl! XD
That orchestral arrangement -- GENIUS.
The songwriting - GENIUS.
One of the greatest pieces of music ever created.
for me when the dude starts singing, it's like where's his record deal? i need a single like yesterday
" The man is "Who Paula is singing to........."
What do you mean!!
" In Genisis" A man shall leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and the two shall become one flesh!
She's preferring to him!!!!!!!
Referring to him!!
music was so great back then
And a -shit particle- pc o' crap today. :C
This song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1991
I remember when I played this album as soon as I got Home from school. I went inmediately to my room and I was transported a different dimension with "Spellbound"
Paula, your music brings back so many memories 😭 I'm here for it! Yassssss!

Beautiful song; I cannot stop playing it again and again. 2:33 those background vocals are everything!!
Sounds like Trenz Lorens. He sang with Mariah Carey on I'll Be There.
@@AndyTseRealEstate it's not. Its Peter Lord. The man who wrote this song (and Rush Rush)
Yassss
Still a great song and performance of Paula
It takes me back. Something about this song. Very few of those like that.
My favorite song from the tiny little package of lovliness known as Paula Abdul..
***** estoy de acuerdo con vos.
***** gente no tiene idea de musica
Paula abdul's sucess did not happen overnight. he worked hard to get where she is at and it paid off. This song proves it.
I grew up in the 80s and remember Paula was all over MTV around 89-91. Brings back a lot of memories for me. Paula is a legend.
this song never fails to grip your soul
Oh My! This is so beautiful.. She's so beautiful!
This song is in a word....PERFECT, great orchestration, production and vocals.
I saw Paula Abdul in concert back in 1991 Color Me Badd was her opening act I was 11 years old at the time it was a phenomenal show 😊
Paula Abdul is AMAZING. This song and many others are MASTERPIECES.
My favorite Paula Abdul song ever!! ❤
This song has the best bridge of any song ever. It just builds up like crazy.
Lovely song had no idea it existed it released the year I was born, blown away♡♡♡☆☆☆
Whoever's Singing Lead Vocals on this song is killing it on this track.
What I love and shall remember that this is an immaculate piece of songwriting! Peter Lord bloody fantastic, especially that ending with the violins man and chord changes!
as a songwriter, it is one fantastic piece of work!!!
That ending always gave me chills...
This song has an unique twist on the "4 chords of pop"
Classic!!
The first time I heard this beautiful song, I wondered if Prince had arranged the strings. So nice.
Paula is the greatest ever and most talented 💗
beautiful song with such meaning
Like most songs from 2000 & prior… -____- Woe to music & the media now! :(
yep she is a DOUBLE THREAT..for sure a SINGER and a DANCER...oh and a true performer:) in my books
This song is about to make a comeback, I can feel it...
excellent quality of the video took on new life and looks prettier paula abdul is one of her best songs thanks for remastering the video
