4.0 out of 5 stars Under Paula's Spell Indeed....., February 3, 2001

This review is from: Paula Abdul: Under my Spell Live [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Paula Abdul's first (and only) major concert tour was amazing and completely blew me away as a viewer. Seeing all of the dancing and special effects was wonderful for me as a true Paula fan. Even though I felt the show was too short and more songs from her 2 albums (up to that point) should have been included besides the obvious hits. Songs like "Will You Marry Me?", "Alright Tonight" and "State of Attraction" immediately spring to mind. I recall Paula saying in an interview that she'd seen both Madonna and Janet Jackson's tours in 1990 and that she wanted to incorporate some of the energy and spectacle from them but also wanted her show to be more exciting and more striking. Well all I can say is that she most definently succeeded, combining intense dancing, video special effects, surprisingly decent vocals and of all things, flying ballet dancers, Paula's show was definently one of a kind. Each number performed showed Paula's versatility as a dancer and choreographer and most of all, an entertainer. This Grammy and Emmy winning performer didn't get half the acclaim and credit she so richly deserved. But this is 1 fan who's certainly under Paula's spell. And by the way she looked great contrary to the above opinion, she was nowhere near "fat".

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Paula Performance, April 3, 2001

This review is from: Paula Abdul: Under my Spell Live [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was so excitted to find this on DVD, I grew up #1 FANS OF Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul. They were very popular at the same time but Paula was never able to capture the audience of the mid 90's with her follow up to Spellbound, "Head Over Heals", instead Janet took over. I think it's a shame we lost her as a recording artist and performer. I remember seeing Paula for the first time in December of 1991, in Phoenix,AZ,when I was 13 and in the 7th grade. It was "The Under My Spell Tour" and I was so excited to finaly see her Live. I saw her in "92" as she performed her encore perfomance, and I became so dazzled by her performance. She was truely talented. I wish she would make a come back! At least I can re live my Paula fanatic days with this performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paula's Spell, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Paula Abdul: Under my Spell Live [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Paula Abdul launched a headlining worldwide tour in late 1991 that sold out at first but slowly faded away from view. Well, this tape proves the concert had what it takes to be a huge hit! This is footage from the Japan "Under My Spell" tour, and Paula is at her best. The dancing is flawless; it tunes you in and sticks in your head. Her singing sounds just as good as the CD's, too. Her image for the concert, the lighting, design and structure are all amazing. Paula really shines in her "Straight Up" performance. A classic for Paula fans!
