Paula Abdul - "Rush Rush"

Paula Abdul released "Rush Rush" in 1991 -- her first ballad.  While the song was different from her previous upbeat pop singles, the soft violin-filled "Rush Rush" proved to be a huge success for the future American Idol judge -- the song topped the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary Charts for five consecutive weeks.  FUN FACT: Paula Abdul was the choreographer for the 1987 movie Can't Buy Me Love starring a very young Patrick Dempsey.

Paula Abdul - "Blowing Kisses in the Wind"

Long before Paula Abdul was known for being the half-drunk American Idol judge, she was a successful singer and dancer who put out a string of pop hits in the late-80s and early-90s.  One such hit was 1991's "Blowing Kisses in the Wind" from her triple-platinum Spellbound album.  The ballad took a backseat to other singles from the album including "Promise of  A New Day" and the ballad "Rush Rush".  Unfortunately, she did not dance with an animated cat in the video.
