Today, I can walk. I owe a lot of my success to the song "Ain't never gonna give you up." The other songs are OK, not great, but not to bad either.

It's my dream to someday meet Paula. I'd like to thank her for the laughter. Thank her for helping me through the tears. Thank her for her courage. Thank her for "never gonna give up on you, Brian."

This album contains the most powerful song to touch my life.

She is a Good Dancer I'll give her that.but as far as Music is concerned? No Way in The World should She ever gotten a Contract.This Disc has some interesting topics&subjects give them to someone who can actually carry a tune.Paula Abdul is so Tone-Deaf she Makes Janet Jackson sound Like Aretha Franklin by Comparrison and Janet can't sing Either but she gets over a Little bit more than Paula.All of Her Albums are wack.when that story ran a few years back about a Back-Ground Vocalist Singing in her place she should have said yes cuz to claim that Voice is a Sadd Commentary.


My thoughts on this...   July 21, 1999

I have always been a fan of clean, quality pop. I used to think that Paula Abdul fit into this category. When I was still in school, Paula Abdul was just hitting the airwaves. With her earlier songs such as "Forever Your Girl" and "Straight Up," Paula Abdul seemed to be advocating a monogamous relationship. As an ordained minister, good morals like this are what I hope are impressed onto our next generation. However, it now seems to me that she does not really care about instilling good values. Money is all she is interested in. This "Head Over Heels" album is a microcosm of all that is wrong with the entertainment industry today. I am bewildered why sexually suggestive songs as appear on here are not given an EXPLICIT LYRICS label. People who support music such as this should be ashamed of themselves. The nicest thing that one could honestly say about this album is that it is not a very high-quality piece of music. At worst, it is pure, unadulterated sleaze. I would never suggest to anyone to buy a Samantha Fox album, since that it quite suggestive also, but at least Fox had some talent (though it pains me to see how she used it). "Ho-down" and songs of that nature are not what I want my children listening to. I would suggest as an excellent alternative to this album any work of the Meat Puppets. It's difficult for anyone to listen to the song "Backwater" (a much better song that Paula Abdul's song "Get Your Groove On") and find anything wrong with this. To sum up, "Head Over Heels" is an album with little quality in the way of music, lyrics, and its message.


The Choice is Yours...   August 30, 1999

I guess my major problem with this cd was not it's suggestiveness, but rather it's in-your-face approach to controverisal issues. I am very open minded but I really don't need Paula's political views shoved down my throat when I listen to her music. Case and point being how the song "The Choice is Yours" is so obviously a pro-choice anthem. "Under The Influence" clearly makes an arguement for the repeal of DWI laws in the state of California. "Ain't Never Gonna Give You Up" is a vailed story about a substance abuser who has no intention of giving up their vice. "Crazy Cool" takes the serious issue of schizophrenia and makes a mockery out of it's symptoms. And last but not least is the tragic tale of an unloved transexual in "If I Were Your Girl". Again, I have no problem discussing issues such as these with people, but I am disappointed that I have to be bombarded with them while I listen to music.

I'm not a very happy camper after buying this. This is sooo average that it's not even funny. It had not even a shred of redeeming quality to it. Paula was obviously washed up by the time she made this.
