I can't vote for just one. I would have to say that I love Taffy's "I Love My Radio" Alisha's "All Night Passion", TKA's "One Way Love" Cover Girls' "Inside Outside", and Expose's "Point Of No Return".
I love some songs from Madonna, so I will have to put down another Madonna song which is "Gambler".
You will find that Bananarama's "I Want You Back" was released in 1988 and not in 1987.
Brenda K Starr's "I Still Believe" was later covered for Mariah Carey. Don't like Brenda's version though. Prefer Mariah's version.

I like some, though don't know or haven't heard most of the list, but I'd go with another Debbie Gibson song: "Only In My Dreams". :)
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Park/7255/oimd01.jpg
On the list:
Expose "Point Of No Return"
Paula Abdul "Straight Up"
Madonna "Open Your Heart"
Will To Power "Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird"
Debbie Gibson "Electric Youth", once in a while, but not one of her best songs, IMO

I chose "other" -- "I Wonder If I Take You Home" -- Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam.
I don't see Debbie Gibson and Paula Abdul as being freestyle -- they're pop in my book.

I chose "Point of No Return", but I'll agree with Lisa Lisa, and I'll have to add Shannon's 'Let The Music Play".

I love "I Wonder If I Take You Home"! I voted for I Still Believe. I had the single and loved it!
The vast majority of artists hear aren't freestyle at all.

Yup, while it's good, I'm still partial to Brenda's version b/c of my young teen memories.
