R&R Fan - I'm with ya, for all of the reasons you listed above and then some.  When 'Only In My Dreams' hit the airwaves, I liked it immediately.  Then learning about Debbie, I found out she wrote, sung and produced her album...as a teenager.  Wow.  One may not like her music from that period, but ya have to respect the amount of talent she has.

I've met her once before a show...granted, it was well after her heyday of the 80's (1995, to be exact).  She was funny, down-to-earth & very generous with her time.  Which isn't unusual for her...this past week, she did a fund raiser at a local teen center in Connecticut.    A good friend's girlfriend knows someone who was at the station where Deb did a TV interview to pitch the benefit.  When Tara told Deb she drove 5 hours to get there and watch the interview in the studio, Deb made sure to give Tara enough benefit tickets for her family, and later made sure her assistant had Tara's address/phone # so as to send some t-shirts, CD's, etc.

Have also seen Deb in concert 3 times, and each time was a blast...somehow, both Florida appearances would up with me (and the rest of the crowd) standing in a typical Florida summertime monsoon :-).  So obviously I think she's great...I have nothing against Tiffany, and think she has a great voice.  But I'm definitely in favor of the Debster.

Now if we could get her to read all the praises we have for her.....maybe I could get a t-shirt! ;)

Debbie Gibson....Tiffany just bugged me.

They both bugged me! ;D

Loved her last night on "That 80's Show" even when she talks I melt :P

I have to admit...even as a fan of the Debster's...last night's appearance on 'That 80's Show' was laaaaaaaaame.  I didn't laugh at a single thing she said.  I was *glad* when Margaret finally kicked her rainbow-chasing @ss out of the store. ;-)

Overall, didn't think the episode was that great, either....I mean, even by 'That 80's Show' standards ;-).   You know it's a bad episode when we don't even get a chance to see Roger dance.

I know...she was doing her "Broadway" thing..I just meant that I LOVED her voice, even though it was a strange sort of "Fairy-tale" accent...she STILL knocks me down with her drop-dead gorgeous looks :P

Debbie, hands down!

For pretty much the same reasons mentioned.  I even picked up her '92 CD "Body Mind Soul" where she tried to "mature" her image.  Good album.   Anyone know if she's released anything since?  (besides her Greatest Hits)

BMS is a good album...some really good dance songs in the first half of the album, if I remember correctly.

Deb's released some albums since then...'Think With Your Heart', 'Deborah', 'M.Y.O.B'...the first one has lots of ballads (I'm not big on ballads).  'Deborah' has more uptempo pop tunes I like to listen to & a few of her Broadway tunes.  'M.Y.O.B' has a few songs I really like, was released a little over a year ago, I think.  All of these are, for the most part, departures from what she did on BMS.
