Yes it was It was released 1st but didn't do to much Then Straight Up Came Out which was released 3rd I believe And then they re released this and went to #1
One of the greatest to ever do it. Paula and I had fun at the grocery store the other day. She was on the radio and I was getting my boogie on in the pasta isle all alone until this random lady needed something off the shelf. Initially she just wanted some sauce but Paula's music sets the party right and all 3 of us rocked out to Knock out together. If you don't lose 5 to 10lbs off this song, it's your fault and better not blame Paula!! She gave us the tools to stay fit. I don't wait to be invited to a party. I just make my own wherever I'm at. Nothing like a midday grocery store party!!! 👩🏿👉🏿🥳🤸🏿♀️
Forever Your Girl was first marketed as a RnB album and people even thought she was black. Than Straight Up blew straight up then the rest was history.
All you guys are on point with this one I felt this is the most R&B soulful song she's ever done My favorite one too she did a free concert Shawnee Park in Louisville she killed it and could move
I love this song. I cannot believe it only peaked at No.41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a million times better than all so called Billboard Hot 100 No 1 singles in the last few years.
It’s sad her team didn’t rerelease this, because they were caught up in releasing songs that would be number one hits at the time. This is a major smash, and much better than opposites attract and the way that you love me.
Summer 1988...Cant believe this song came out 32 freakin years ago..Damn Im old !!! lol..but you know what? !!! I dont feel old gotdammit !!...lol..lol
The first time I herd this song was going to North Hollywood to see The Blob remake with my baby sister and best friend. Fell for the song and Paula. Good times!
i love paula abdul. her stint as an american idol judge has completely overshadowed the fact that she's one of the best dance choreographers out there.
I totally agree!!!! I have always thought Paula was the best performer during my teens and still do! She's an amazing dancer... wish she was still dancing!!
She showed out doing the infamous CHEERLEADER HELICOPTER...which is now illegal and I think is stupid for being illegal...what's cool is get 3 sets of them going and then toss them over to next group! She pushed the envelope before stupid sanctions!! Hello look at all the stunts done in movies!! She is still the one in my book!
is that the move she does when she performs on American idol or whatever show shes on? it was lately , she did some crazy moves. loved it. she was always one of my favorites. her Janet, cindy, and madonna
They killing The Hilltop in this video! For those that don't know what the Hilltop is. It a dance where you throw arns across each other and your body rock along with your arms. Kinda like U doing a crossover punch without hitting anybody. Also, U are on your toes slight a bit.
Never noticed how hard she is dancing, when you compare to today's choreography you be like DAMNNN!!! Paula was rocking off! The physicality and the intricateness is mindblowing
Love you Paula Abdul. So much talent and some people knock her down thinking she was on drugs and alcohol. Being in excruciating pain with plates in your spine obviously doesn't qualify and as she said painkillers didn't help her anyway. Amazing Dancer, Choreographer, ex-Cheerleader and Singer stay strong always.

Yes! The similarities to Pebbles do raise eyebrows: same urban dance pop sound by Babyface; similar vocal styling, and skin complexion. If Pebbles was a dancer....
Dutchess80 Yvette claimed she sang ALL the vocals on the "Forever Your Girl " album in her lawsuit, right? Yvette claimed they used her voice and mixed Paula's in and she wasn't compensated fairly. I think she lost IIRC
It doesn't even sound like Pebbles doing the low background vocals. And the only song on Forever Your Girl that sounds like a mixed vocal, to me, is, I Need You.
I said it be 4 n I'll say it again, "She's 4ever my girl!" Naah, Naah... Peace to da end of da 80's, Pebbles, Janet, The Deal n all dems. The Bad Guy...
Most underrated choreo in Paula's career man.. My girl doesn't get enough credit
REAL TALK!💯
Boooooo!
You got that right. She tore this shyt UP!!!
BEST Paula Abdul song. Her first hit. My favorite!
Yes it was
It was released 1st but didn't do to much
Then Straight Up Came Out which was released 3rd I believe
And then they re released this and went to #1
I second that
Knocked Out was a top 10 hit.

The best dancing and tap dancing on the planet. Still jammin this one in 2023.

I dance and sing in the grocery store as well. This is my favorite by Paula!!!
This reminds me of such a happy time in my life. Those were the days, growing up in the eighties.
Paula looked so incredible in this video. I loved her.
yep it seems 1988 was much different then a lot of the other years within the 1980s, 1987-1989
Paula kicks ass. Much, much better video than what the present day artists have to offer
nope she had 7 hits off that album including the song straight up
Sand Heden back when female artists didn't need to show their ass to prove their talents
Yes right,great voice,Nice hit song and amazing coreography,i still feel like when i was teenager 😉si Nice time❤️
I agree Sand Helen.
How dare you say that about Doja cat and Cardi B!🤬🤬🤬
R&B Radio Played Paula Heavily First Before Pop Radio Did With This Classic
Facts..they also played Its Just The Way That You Love Me
Forever Your Girl was first marketed as a RnB album and people even thought she was black. Than Straight Up blew straight up then the rest was history.
All you guys are on point with this one I felt this is the most R&B soulful song she's ever done My favorite one too she did a free concert Shawnee Park in Louisville she killed it and could move
R&B radio did the same with Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love" in 1990,as well as Lisa Stansfield
I like that version of the video. Because it shows more of her choreography.
One of my favorite songs by Paula. She was one of the best dancers out there. I loved watching her, her choreography was bad ass.
I love this song. I cannot believe it only peaked at No.41 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is a million times better than all so called Billboard Hot 100 No 1 singles in the last few years.
It's her first single and her first song that she recording of her career. It's before ''Straight Up'', her breakthrought single.
This song should have gone top 3 at best!! That was criminal there.
Wonderful 1988 classic!!!
It’s sad her team didn’t rerelease this, because they were caught up in releasing songs that would be number one hits at the time. This is a major smash, and much better than opposites attract and the way that you love me.
Summer 1988...Cant believe this song came out 32 freakin years ago..Damn Im old !!! lol..but you know what? !!! I dont feel old gotdammit !!...lol..lol
The first time I herd this song was going to North Hollywood to see The Blob remake with my baby sister and best friend. Fell for the song and Paula. Good times!
This sound of this song aged extremely well! It could be released today and be a hit.
PAULA'S BEST!!!!!!!! HANDS DOWN
I'm exhausted just looking at this video...getting old
Damn She COULD DANCE!!! As well as Sing!!! Thanks for the Memories!!! Loved this One!!!!
I forgot how much Paula was a beast on the dance floor, and she taught Janet her dance moves. This was one of my favorites from Paula back n the day.
She is my favorite singer.
Hypnotized by this choreography !! Who else in april 2020?
Paula Abdul was where TRUE choreography was born, baby!
Can't argue!
Paula Abdul choreographed Janet Jackson video's back in the day...
Scott Brandts Bob Fosse. Look him up.
i love paula abdul. her stint as an american idol judge has completely overshadowed the fact that she's one of the best dance choreographers out there.
I totally agree!!!! I have always thought Paula was the best performer during my teens and still do! She's an amazing dancer... wish she was still dancing!!
yes, this is the version I was looking for. The other version had "off" editing. Well, the dance routine as I remember is from this version.
Paula purring , body flying , clothes rustling everywhere . Love u PA 4EVER our Girl !!
Now I’m in the mood to dance to 80s/90s 💃🕺🪩✌🏼💛 from McAllen, Tx 956!
my favorite video of hers! classy Paula!
her smile is so beautiful 😭💗
I love this dancing song ...my favorite of Paula.
#PaulaAbdulWeek one of my favorite songs from her. Simply amazing.
This woman can choreograph the hella outta songs. YES PAULA!
I still love this song!
One of my favorite songs by her.
This version showcases all the dance more than the modified video they released
This is the best version, great pop song
She showed out doing the infamous CHEERLEADER HELICOPTER...which is now illegal and I think is stupid for being illegal...what's cool is get 3 sets of them going and then toss them over to next group! She pushed the envelope before stupid sanctions!! Hello look at all the stunts done in movies!! She is still the one in my book!
Well she's a Laker cheerleader so
is that the move she does when she performs on American idol or whatever show shes on? it was lately , she did some crazy moves. loved it. she was always one of my favorites. her Janet, cindy, and madonna
Those were the days. Janet & Paula were my Babies mamas.
She is great!!! I love how she moves and dances!!!!
This was the video that made me fall in love with Paula Abdul 😍
Great song from back in the day..
Great song & the beauty of a goddess!!! I ve been fan of hers since the late 80s !!🌹👈
The most beautiful woman on the planet
Love the nonstop choreographed dancing. You hardly ever see anything like this in music videos nowadays!
Best of all her songs and video. 90's were the best ever!!!
Damn right!
This was 1988 and yes the 80s were the best
Another L.A. Reid & Babyface Production....
Walter Ortiz Nieves Their productions were off the chain! Still love 'em this very day.
Me too! They've worked with so many others during the time. The L.A. Reid & Babyface team, where like Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis in the mid-80's.
they did all bobby brown and toni braxton too their era
@@jgsure2773 very true
GREAT song, GREAT dancing. Really takes me back to a better time and place in the world.
this is my all time favorite song from her
used to LOVE this song and all the good dancing in the video! Kill it Paula!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love her choreography 😍
I love this song it is my favorite by her thanks Paula.
That's the ONE thing I loved Paula Abdul was, she's was never, NEVER filthy and nasty as female singers are today!!
then you didnt see the video coldhearted
I did. That video is nothing compared to now though.
msladytsunade777 raw

Paula so fantastic wow so love it😎😍
Her best song
backing vocals at the end...... courtesy of pebbles
royston rogers Royston would be correct. It's Pebbles. Yvette Marine did sing background vocals but not for that song.
carmenjones411 I wonder if that has anything to do with why they re-edited the video
i LOVE me some PEBBLES!!!! TY!! cause of your comment i am so gonna jam to her today!!! YAS!!!!
Didn't know that.

Lyrics...
Oh, rock me
Oh, knock me
Oh, rock me
Oh, knock me
Oh, rock me
Oh, knock me
Oh, rock me
Oh, knock me
Oh, rock me
Knock me
Knock me
Knock me
Knock me
Is he looking at me?
'Cause I'm looking at him
Is he looking at me?
I was in love the moment
That I saw you
I followed you through the crowd
And I almost lost you
I was dying to tell you
But scared of your reaction
But I can't hold back
Because I'm rushed with this thing called passion
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
Hey, you've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet
I walked your way hoping that
Maybe you noticed
(Hi, hello there)
I don't want to move to fast
I don't want to blow it
Never did I think
Love could be so amazing
But the things that you're making me do
It's driving me crazy
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet
I want us to get closer, boy I wanna be
Startin' somethin' with you, baby
My heart is steady knockin' boy you've got my body rockin'
Caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O.
Knock me
Rock me
Knock me
Rock me
Knock me
Knock me
Knock me
Knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet
I want us to get closer, boy I wanna be
Startin' somethin' with you
My heart is steady knockin' boy you've got my body rockin'
Caught blow-by-blow, love T.K.O.
Baby
Rock me
Is he looking at me?
'Cause I'm looking at him
Is he looking at me?
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet
You've got me knocked out
You've got me knocked out
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
It's you that makes my heart beat
You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet
You've got me knocked out, baby there's no doubt
You swept me off of my feet
You've got me knocked out turn me inside out
You swept me off of my feet....
that hair is so 90's fabulous!
Plus wow love your moves
damn pebbles i didnt know u had vocals and paula love the choreography in this
Yes! The similarities to Pebbles do raise eyebrows: same urban dance pop sound by Babyface; similar vocal styling, and skin complexion. If Pebbles was a dancer....
Steadmond Smith Pebbles is actually singing background on this song. Read the credits.
Dutchess80 Yvette claimed she sang ALL the vocals on the "Forever Your Girl " album in her lawsuit, right? Yvette claimed they used her voice and mixed Paula's in and she wasn't compensated fairly. I think she lost IIRC
nope Paula had 7 hits off this album including the song straight up
It doesn't even sound like Pebbles doing the low background vocals. And the only song on Forever Your Girl that sounds like a mixed vocal, to me, is, I Need You.
So love this😍
The best Paula Abdul song imo
I...I was so happy, that look in her eye and those moves at 3:05 to 3:15! Tremendous talent :) "is he lookin' at me? Cause i'm lookin' at him!' lol
Wow.....memories
Paula is so hot and this is her best song. Nice vid.
Her best song.
#girlboss of the 80's👊🏽

Paula is killing The Hill Top. For those who don't know is a dance step. Go Paula Go!
dancing talent in its purest form...
I love this video.
HERE IT IS. The original version with the dances flowing with song.
Big hair, leggings, leg warmers and dance! Love being from the 80's!
the definition of fierce? Paula Abdul during the 80's!
Je fais gym et danse sur cette chanson tout en ayant pieds gonflés et sciatique.
Je suis en forme 2 heures ce rythme me manquait. !!
choreography is off the hook! go ahead Paula!!!
they did the Hollywood..the Hilltop..the Helicopter..all in this one video!! dance classic
such an awesome dancer, She puts it down - hot!
you can soo shake ur bum to this on the dance floor damn i miss the 80s
Star 104.5 in 89 coming back hard
OMG! one of the hottest songs ever recorded!!!
This is the version I was looking for! Its so much better.
This dancing is a fuckjng treat.
This original without the filters is a better edit than the official published version.
sing it!
She's not singing. her voice is combined with background vocalists lmao.
Insane - beautiful and crazy.
I Love her hair in this video.
Thats one of many styles back in the day😎
this is the original video!
LA Reid and Babyface are one of my favorite music production teams of all time.
