How come she never got any props? This girl, sang, wrote and produced her own music. I want to see Hilary Duff try and top that! "Only in my dreams" is the shit!

it's deborah gibson now.

Alright, I hate to say it but you have a point. I used to hate Gibson 's music when I was in my teens but she is much more talented then this Duff broad. Duff needs to thank Gibson for paving the way for her.

See, you know i'm right! Debbie or Deborah rules! Another reason why she probably wasn't as succesful is because she never took her clothes off, which is very sad but true. Look at britney when she first came out!

This is possibly my fault. I brought up the fact that when Madonna first came out with "Holiday" many thought she was black. She didn't have a video out and she was getting a lot of r&b as well as pop airplay. NOT to say Madonna was the most soulful thing since Tina Marie, but c'mon.

Stone deaf people with no ear for vocals may have thought Madonna was black, to me she sounded like a white chick holding her nose while singing.
As for Debbie, she was too cutesy, it was her undoing. I think she was actually quite talented, though her records didn't really reflect this. She was a good pianist too as i recall.

remember the vid to "electric youth" where she tried to dance! Video was odd.....

She was on Howard Stern not to long ago. She looked pretty good.

I recently saw that video and it was cheesy as hell but at least she could move.

She opted not to bother joining in dancing on the rather good vid to "anything is possible".....I love the atmos to that vid.....the whole nighttime rooftop thing! Good song too!

See, we're giving debbie her props! it's about time damn it!

well, maybe us 2 r.....I did a thread on her many months ago and it got a surprising amount of positive feedback! I have her first 4 albums around somewhere.....


Yes I even have "body mind and soul" on cd.....that is actually her most consistant cd! "little birdie" is a great song as is the very dated "love or money" "shock ur mama"!


Heck even "It musta been my boy" is a good song! I bet knowone knows what songs I'm on about now!


Iam a big fan of hers now, but NEVER was as a kid though

I have to admit, you've even got me lost. I do think she's great though! I wish she would make a come back. I know she recently put out a cd of show tunes or something like that but I wish she would put out a pop album.

SHe was better than Tiffany...however you want to take THAT.

Who's hotter... Gibson or Duff? Now, Gibson circa '80's, Duff '00's.

Gobson was pretty but NOT hot though.....Hillary simular thing, but sexier then Debbie! Debbie had almost 0 sex appeal! Cute though.....
