Abdul surprised by success
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When
Paula Abdul was a child, she
dreamed of following in the foot
steps of such singing and dancing
legends as Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
and Judy Garland.
Today, it looks as if the diminu
tive 26-year-old vocalist and choreo
grapher could be on her way.
Abdul’s debut album. Forever
Your Girl, has sold more than 2 mil
lion copies. It also has generated
three number-one singles: “Straight
Up,” "Forever Your Girl" and "Cold
Hearted,”
A fourth single, "The Way You
Love Me,” is also burning up the
charts.
To top it off, she recently won
three MTV awards for her music
and videos, and won an Emmy for
her choreography of “The Tracey
Ullman Show.”
She is understandably over
whelmed.
girlfriends, but became discouraged
when she saw hundreds of hopefuls
milling about waiting for their
chance to perform.
“I drove the girls that were audi
tioning with me so I had to wait for
them. And at the very last second,
after hours, I said, ‘What the heck,
I’m just gonna go ahead.’
“I was a big basketball fan,” she
said. “I was a huge Laker fan and we
each would get two season seats.
What more could you want? The
Lakers were really hot,”
reographer really,” Abdul said.
“These were little jobs that came my
way and it was something that was
good money and it was fun.”
Besides choreographing videos
for Jackson, ZZ Top and the Pointer
sisters, Abdul arranged dance steps
for Aretha Franklin, Kool and the
Gang and George Michael concert
tours.
“I feel redundant when I keep
saying, ‘I’m overwhelmed’ or ‘I’m
excited,’ but it’s really something you
can’t explain,” she said. “It’s just an
inner feeling that you have. You
smile and you laugh and you think,
‘I’m a real lucky girl.’”
Abdul has come a long way from
her days cheerleading for the Los
Angeles Lakers.
She went to the audition wi|;h
Soon after being selected as one of
the 12 cheerleaders in 1981, the cho
reographer left to get married.
Abdul devoted herself to getting
the Laker Girls noticed. She incor
porated traditional cheerleading
with jazzy dance steps and street
moves.
The fans did notice — and the of
fers started pouring in for Abdul to
choreograph. She helped smooth
out dance steps for a music video by
the Jacksons and did some commer
cial work.
She also choreographed two films,
"The Running Man” and "Coming
to America."
But Abdul was still drawn to song.
Abdul laughed as she talked re
cently about ner break into the re
cording business.
She said the record company ex
ecutives who worked with her on
music videos kept asking, "So what
do you want to do when you grow
up, Paula?”
She would respond: “I want to be
Then she choreographed the vi
deos for Janet Jackson’s “What Have
You Done for Me Lately?” and
“When I Think of You,” among oth-
‘I wasn’t looking to become d cho-
5 P C
an artist on your label.”
Finally two executives took her se
riously and signed her to a recording
deal. Forever Your Girl was the re
sult.
She eventually wants to break into
acting, and is considering several
prospects.
“I definitely want to act,” she said.
“But I definitely want to continue
making music and I’ll never give up
choreography.”
