I didn't know she was half indian... I had heard that she changed her last name to Abdul, in honor Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whom she came to admire when she was one of the laker girls...
btw: the only song that i feel has any Freestyle elements in it is "Cold Hearted"...i love those 'Freestyle-like' strings...
So the people are starting to say that paula abduls freestyle. lol, see what happens when you people start considering expose and taylor dayne as freestyle artists.
WELL, EXPOSE AND TAYLOR DAYNE CAME OUT A YEAR OR 2 BEFORE PAULA, BUT PAULS WAS JUST PLAIN DANCE. I REALLY EVEN DONT KNOW IF THE HARD CORE DANCE CLUBS EVEN PLAYED HERE. HER "STRAIGHT UP" DANCE VERSION IS SLAMMIN, THOUGH.
for me paula abdul is like a guily pleasure...u know one of those things u listen to when no one is watching...others are like new kids on the block (please dont go girl) and vanilla ice...but hey i still can dance around the house singing to this stuff!!!
toni .. dat was da good thing about napster, u could find those old old songs u used to listen back when u was a kid lol ... too bad u cant find ish now 😡
hey!!! i like VANILLA ICE!!! Im proud to blast in it in my car when its on!!!! its strange......i hear "ICE-ICE BABY" every so often on KTU but i never hear any NEW KIDS stuff.......things that make you go hmmmm?

yo kid everybody in miami always consider EXPOSE as freestyle....power 96 always mentioned them as a miami freestyle group since back in the 80's. still till this day you hear EXPOSE on all the freestyle mix shows down here...they were the ones who exploded with the miami freestyle sound. they later crossed on to pop but that first album was very much miami dance/freestyle
peace

it wasnt a crossover. they were just trying to stick with todays sound. and their "freestyle" stuff then was considered pop. so they have always been pop.
expose is/was freestyle .. they wasnt exclusively freeestyle but they were recognize as freestyle artists. if u remember watchin that latin explosion back on MTV when they interview Marc Anthony, he was naming some of the freestyle artist like george lamond, cynthia, etc .. he also mentioned expose
