Abdul was unable to attend filming in Hawaii due to prior commitments. Filming took place in two different locations with backgrounds for the video being shot in Hawaii, with Abdul and her backup dancers being filmed separately on a sound stage and later composited through blue screen. The video, directed by Big TV! (Andy Delaney and Monty Whitebloom) was shot during the week of July 8, 1991. It was Abdul's sixth chart-topping single, and her last No. 5, and departed the Top 40 only four weeks later. 1 hit, " Everything I Do (I Do It For You)." The following week, it fell to No. 1 on the chart on Septemand ended the reign of Bryan Adams' long-running No. 26, with this week claiming the Greatest Airplay Gainer. The following week, the single climbed to No. 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, the week ending July 20, 1991, claiming the spot of Hot Shot Debut. Let's hope that this is soon."The Promise of a New Day" debuted at No. She also said that she viewed her music videos as art and that she would release her own collection that would present them as they should be. She was asked about her music videos being released and she said she was aware that someone was going to release a collection without her permission and she wasn't too happy about that. I had the chance to meet Paula Abdul at a Meet-N-Greet in 2004. It simply begins with the song, rather than the brief scene at first.
PAULA ABDUL STRAIGHT UP RELEASE FULL
And speaking of "Rush, Rush", this mini-movie remake of the James Dean classic 'Rebel Without a Cause' is not the full video. I realize this may be due to rights issues but you would've thought Keanu Reeves would be blurred out of "Rush, Rush".

For example, in "Straight Up" Arsenio Hall is blurred out in all his appearances and the Lakers logo on her jacket in "Forever Your Girl" is also blurred out. Not only is it just the six number one videos but they are edited too. Paula fans have been desperate to get all of them.too bad it wasn't on this collection either. There were two collections of her videos released on VHS in the early 90s but they didn't include all her videos. It was shortly after that I discovered the awesome videos Paula created for her music and which played in unending rotation on MTV. "I have loved Paula Abdul ever since I first heard "Straight Up" on the radio. Virgin needs to get off their lazy and throw a real bone to the starving fans out there."

So basically, I do advise this if ya love Paula and wanna support her and enjoy what ya can, but. Not to mention that there are numerous vids after that as well that could've easily been added. THREE - Probably the most disappointing of all: Where are ALL the vids?!!! I mean, if they were gonna just stick to that particular era of Paula's musical career, then they could've had the decency to throw one of the two versions of "Knocked Out" and "The Way That You Love Me". There ain't no need to cut that out - LOL) B/C there's an awesome intro that was cut for whatever stupid reason (the disc is short enough as it is. TWO - Where is the ENTIRE "Rush Rush" video?. Probably not a big deal if you're not used to the vids, but annoying as hell if you're a longtime fan.

ONE - WTF is w/ the blurred out Arsenio Hall (in "Straight Up" taking up the full screen in most cases) and brand-names (in "Forever Your Girl")?!. "This DVD loses three stars from me for three simple reasons:
