She was like of a bootleg version of Janet for a few years... she's aged well

Yeah. She choreographed some of Janet's dance routines for her videos too.

Sure Ri-Ri has far surpassed her in longevity and accumulated stardom, but for a moment in time Paula was on fire without the 24/7 social media/internet boost

Exactly...Paula was on fire "for a moment".

Rihanna DOES NOT BRICK, AND CANNOT BRICK.
I mean, do people realize Rihanna been at this chit for more than 10 years?
Go through all the hits - she can't be stopped.

Paula went 7x certified platinum though. And 12x worldwide. More than any Rihanna album. That's my point. Aren't you the one that said she never even sniffed Rihanna's success?

with the Debbie Gibson reference, Debbie had the pre-teen, early teen teeny bopper mall crowd on locked In 87

yep
OP mentioned it too.

not saying i was checking for her, but she was one of the most important artists to me at the time, just because of that stupid ass video.

but I thought it was a wolf or coyote. I may be wrong tho. I havnt watched that video in nearly 30 years.

Nikkas grading her on that non-Afrikan curve where non-Afrikan women get a +2 boost. pathetic
