Janet Jackson BEFORE Paul Abdul I Don’t Know Why This Narrative That Paula Taught Janet How To Dance Came About But NO!!! I Think Paula’s Choreography Fitted Perfectly For Janet But Janet Always Had The Moves

Every now & then I gotta pull this video out cause people love discrediting Janet’s talent lol she been doing this since she was a little girl the 70’s

This!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Nevermind the fact that she was doing full out routines as a child on her family's TV show.

@HeadOfTheClax Exactly Lol

Paula was a choreographer who choreographed Janet. Yes, that can mean that she helped Janet become a better dancer. That’s what a good choreographer will and should do.

Paula Definitely Helped, But These Ppl Think Janet Never Choreography Before Paula

They’re morons lol. Janet was a natural talent (at pretty much everything). Paula just taught her a new style & elevated what Janet already had.

Paula choreographed music videos! Like an orchestra has a conductor, dancers have a choreographer! Simply, they both put together a routine or the musical piece for production! Both work with already established, talented people!

there is a stark difference pre and post Paula. Let’s be real

She Didn’t TEACH Her How To Dance. Ppl Thought Janet Only Shimmy & 2 Step, She is Clearly Doing Choreography. Paula Sharpen It Up Yes, But The Rhythm & moves Was There

Janet was on FAME. Debbie Allen.

No one wants to give a black woman credit for shit! Can’t even be authentically talented ! SMH

They create that silly narrative to rationalize how she became popular on her 3rd album, so they overcredit her

Exactly

I never heard that. I just heard that she was Janet’s choreographer, which she was. But obviously, she didn’t teach her how to dance.

I remember when Janet was on Fame. Shit I remember when Janet was in Good Times. 😂

I loved fame so much.

She only choreographed 4 music videos for Janet in her Control era. Paula only gotten that job because of Jackie, since they were dating at the time. I can't stand when kids who never grew up in that era talk like they know lol

Janet has rhythm. Dancing is in her blood. These routines R cutesy. B4 Paula Abdul What Paula Abdul brought was funk! An edge 2 Janet's dance routines-a street edge w/ elements of Jazz 2 things can be true. Janet was already a dancer & Paula's choreography elevated her skills

Never saw this Japanese commercial but you are right

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Paula gave her more memorable choreography she could always dance.

Like they need to stop playing in mutha face! She’s been that girl since she was a child! Paula didn’t teach her squat! However I do appreciate her creating some iconic moves during Control era but she didn’t teach Janet how to do anything!

Well I have hung with Paula plenty of times and heard how they met and how she works together dance wise

Paula Did Great. It’s Ppl Thinking Janet Never Did Choreography. I’ve Been Seeing That A lot

🎯💯🙏🏿

paula was a defining choreographer same way brian was to britney, but that’s it

Did you watch Janet's documentary? It wasn't so much about Paula teaching her to dance as it was making her feel more confident

Every great dancer has choreographers. They don’t teach you how to dance. They just come up with the routine for you to follow. Michael, Janet, Beyonce, Chris Brown, Britney Spears, and Ciara ALL have choreographers.

Nobody claims that Janet didn’t have moves or talent, that’s crazy. If folks understood the role of a choreographer then they’d understand the importance of exactly what Paula provided. It was integral to Janet’s new Era, not a bad thing. Cope.

Paula Abdul did not choreograph the Pleasure Principal music video which was probably Janet’s most iconic routine to date.

Well...JANET JACKSON WAS TAUGHT DANCING BY MS RASHAD FAME

@nikki07390972 Janet literally took lessons from Bob Fosse or someone associated with Fosse. Shit she was dancing actively with her family on their live act!

Exactly Janet always knew how to dance. Paul taught choreography not dance lessons and there’s a huge difference.

Janet is a Jackson. Stop playing.

Tha Panasonic commercial is blazing yeah JJ

Wait she wore the iconic red leather jacket before MJ?

Janet was dancing on tv w her brothers before a paula or a abdul
