Well, we've already established that it was derivative, so that's not an option.

i established it mixed the old with the new. But lets not go there.

You also "established" that "Blossom was awesome", so I can't take ya seriously.


You wanted to fuck Six, right ?

whats so funny about wanting sex with six back then? Ok, so u were a joey man, big deal. I can see the appeal. If u cant take me seriously because i said something that had no relation to the other, then ur sad. Thinking blossom was awesome has no relation to whatever we were talking about.

Note to thesexofit: the first comment was a joke I don't take anything seriously on the org.

Nope, I never even watched the show. Who the fuck is Joey? All I know is that Six was the one everyone wanted to fuck back then.

If u never watched the show then why were u having a go at it? No doubt because someone else said it was crap? Anyway, joey was joey lawrence, the legend.

thesexofit said:

Nope, I've seen episodes, I just never watched it, ya know what I mean? I've seen random episodes of tons of shows from channel surfing, but I never sat down and purposely said, "I'm gonna watch BLOSSOM tonight!".

And the Blossom chick turned into quite a dog.

Hey, with sheer amazement, paula's first 2 albums are damn good pieces of pop music. Ignoring the more fleshed out "spellbound" (that actually had ballads and some "depth")...

...1988's "forever your girl", even with the pebbles rip-pff production (and to a lesser extent, janet), and of course jodt watley, this album was ahead of its time a little. By 1990,. everyone sounded like paula. It seemed like a bridge between the old (minni funk) and the then new (new jack swing)

And iam no chart geek, but the fact that "opposites attract" (re-edited) was a huge smash in 1990, a whole 2 years after the albums release date, proves that this album was a monster and a damn fine, uptempo, commerical pop record.

Gottta give props for oliver leibar doing a synth pop rap duet in 1988. Those keyboard still gleam after all these years (proberly a roland d50- have to check)


Ironically, "knocked out" by la reid and babyface, sounds cheap (shep remixed the shit outta the song though), and a couple of duffers are on there, but its a good, consistant pop album all the same, even with paula's very limited vocal range (as evident on the title track)

Jesse johnsons "i need you" is damn funky too, as is the agressively overproduced "the way that u love me" (vocoder=good) and "straight up", still an awesome song.

This album was a fluke too, after "the way that u loved me" tanked, it was only by chance "knocked out" made it to radio...and the rest was clattery pop history!!!


p.s, i had no idea elijah wood was in "forever your girl" video (one with some decent tap dancing and loads of kids dancing about-cute video)
