I grew up listening to Lisa Lisa and Paula Abdul, but I would have to say for singer Lisa Lisa, and Paula Abdul for dancer.

Lisa Lisa had less hits but they were more memorable and came before Paula's. Lisa Lisa was no doubt an influence on that first album!

I saw forget both and Samantha Fox forever!

lisa lisa

but paula is almost a tie

Definately, Lisa Lisa. I am a big fan of Full Force and enjoyed the music Lisa Lisa did with them.

Lisa Lisa, without a doubt.

I thought Lisa Lisa had more hits? no?

Lisa should put out some new music, does she still record?

Lisa Lisa and those two monstrous friends of hers floppin around

Here is a list of Paula Abdul's hits...

"Knocked Out"(1988)
"The Way That You Love Me"(1988)
"Straight Up"(1989)(Number One Pop Hit)
"Forever Your Girl"(1989)
"Cold Hearted"(1989)
"Opposites Attract"(1989)

"Blowing Kisses In The Wind"(1992)
"Vibeology"(1992)
"Will You Marry Me"(1992)
"My Love Is For Real"(1995)


Basically,in terms of actual "hits",I'd say they're about even (I think they both have Grammys too).Both of their first two albums did extremely well but unfortunately, their third albums had disappointing sales and seemingly,they both just stopped making music altogether.

She did a solo album in 1994 but as far as I know,she hasn't released any other albums.However,she is now into acting,appearing on some cable TV sitcom (can't remember the name,but she plays a mother).

note a little jealousy???

DavidEye said:

No way in hell were these songs hits...I dont even know about that last song...Whats considered a hit? Something that was released as a single?

I remember the publicity referencing how Vibeology flopped big time (party because of her ghastly MTV Award performence of the song).

yeah i used 2 chase the milk truck down the street when i was little.

SkletonKee said:

I gotta admit,I was just listing all the songs that were released as singles.I don't know how those songs did on the charts,but I do remember "Vibeology" getting alot of attention back in '92.

Paulas song was Rush Rush, not Hush Hush ...

But i have to go with Lisa Lisa.. I loved Paula Abdul, but there is something about Lisa Lisa's music that reminds me of when i was a teenager hanging out at the park...

LISA LISA all the way!!!

Her voice is amazing!!! I wish she'd make an album...she's only like 33...she's J-Lo's age!

Should'nt she show these Bitches how it's done!???

DavidEye said:

That is definitely complicated. I wouldn't consider "Will You Marry Me?" a hit since it didn't even make Paula's hits CD (although a ton of other songs did which I don't think were even singles!) but would consider 1996's "Crazy Cool" a hit since the video got a ton of play! Also, I don't remember "Kiss Your Tears Away" or "Skip To My Lu" at all. Its all very confusing!

L I S A L I S A!!!

Her mark is brighter than Paula's...her songs are classics!

VinnyM27 said:

Many times,those hits compilations leave out songs that were actually released as "singles" and,as you pointed out,they sometimes add songs that were NOT singles...lol...don't know why they do this.

I don't rememeber the "Crazy Cool" song by Paula.The Lisa Lisa song "Kiss Your Tears Away" was the third single from Lisa's third album 'Straight To The Sky'(1989).In 1994,she made a solo album and "Skip To My Lu" was the first single.
