Great debut hit for Paula, although I was surprised this didn't get to within cooee of the Aussie Top 10. Similar style to early Janet Jackson.<br>USA #1 & UK #3.
******
Der erste große Hit für Paula Abdul. Ist auch durchaus absolut Hit-verdächtiger. Super Song!
******
I like this a lot. Her best track.
*****
Nice

Es hat etwas gedauert. bis sie in den USA abhob, dafür ging sie dann richtig ab: Diese Nummer ist glücklicherweise auch zu uns rübergeschwappt.
