BEAUTIFUL BALLAD that is : "Rush Rush" long form video with actor KEANU REEVES
N°1 in the US and all over the world Paula Abdul had so many N°1 singles in the 80's/90's
in 1989, the war was declared :
Madonna was the lead with "EXPRESS YOURSELF" and she was hot due to the whole controversy over "LIKE A PRAYER". Her tour "The Blond Ambition Tour" was Brilliant and the documentary a huge success "TRUTH OR DARE" (international title "In Bed WIth Madonna")
Just before Madonna went to n°1 with EXPRESS YOURSELF, Paula Abdul was N°1 with Cold Hearted. Cold Hearted defeated LIKE A PRAYEr from the pole position on the Billboard.
PAULA, MADONNA and JANET really were the REAL queens of pop back then
Janet Jackson wasn't far since she was OVER MEGA SUCCESSFUl with her Rhythm NAtion 1814 succeding an unprecedented feat ever in placing 7 TOP5 hits from ONE ALBUM on the Billboard.
When Express Yourself was out, Rhythm NAtion was released. Janet peaked at N°1 right after MAdonna
Of course, 88 and 89 belonged also to Michael Jackson who was ending the promotion for his AMAZINGLY SUCCESSFUL album "Bad" in 89, SMOOTH CRIMINAL was released
This is the long form video taken from the MOONWALKER movie
Who CANNOT remember that super hit "ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE" by Phil Collins ??
Brandy and Ray-J made an r&b flavored cover and even a remix by Stargate
brandy's remix by STARGATE
and OF COURSE, Sir Elton John (who was not "Sir" back then) with his most amazing international hit ever : "SACRIFICE", one of the most beautiful ballad ever !
