    Before there was Taylor Swift there was Debbie Gibson. Writing, Producing, playing keyboard and singing a Billboard Number One Single at age 16.

      If it wasn’t for Debbie Gibson, there would be no Taylor Swift or a lot of other artists. Before Debbie came along, it was unheard of for a woman to write, produce and record their own music completely on their own let alone one that was only 16 years old. She paved the way.

    A lot of people didn't give Debbie Gibson enough credit. She was a very talented young woman. She wrote all of her songs and she was a teenager at the time.
    One of her singles, "Foolish Beat" made her the youngest female artist to write, produce, and perform a single that went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She had a great voice. I had a crush on her back then too. You guys should check out "Lost in Your Eyes" and ”Shake Your Love” as well as ”Foolish Beat”.

    She had some amazing songs.

Also as far as theater, she also played Sandy in "Grease" and did all those songs on the London Cast Album. Lots of great choices from her.

    Debbie Gibson was the teen pop star of the 80's... What made her special was that she wrote all her songs and co-produced her albums... At 16, she wrote all the songs on her 1987 debut album 'Out of the blue'... She scored a #1 hit single 'Foolish beat' in 1988 while still a teen.
    'Electric Youth' was her 2nd album in 1989 and also charted at #1 and sold 2x platinum in the US... and scored another #1 single - 'Lost in your eyes' (another ballad). She also wrote all the songs and co-produced again.
    Her 3rd album 'Anything is possible' went gold, but she co-wrote w/ songwriters and was losing the teen pop appeal as she turned 20... the single 'Anything is possible' was still a top 40 hit... Debbie tried to appeal to an adult audience w/ sex appeal and a sultry image which Britney Spears would perfect a decade later, but the 4th album 'Body, mind, soul' (1993) flopped commercially... She tried again w/ the albums 'Think with your heart' in 1995, and 'Deborah' in 1997... Neither albums sold well.
    Debbie Gibson was able to become a successful Broadway stage actress and singer in later years and still records and performs to date.

    The choreographer was Barry Lather, who appeared in Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” video (the guy who jumps off the newsstand to dance with her). He also choreographed Jackson’s video “Pleasure Principle”. He worked with a who’s-who of stars in that era, including Paula Abdul and Michael Jackson. I got to take a few dance classes from him as a teen because his mother and my dance teacher were friends. He was a super-nice guy and amazingly talented!!!! He released his own single, “Love in the 3rd Degree” and his video choreography hits just the same.

After 5 singles charting in the Top 10, "Electric Youth" came very close, peaking @ #11 in 1989. "EY" was Gibson's biggest hit on the Dance chart, peaking @ #3.

At 16, she was (and still is) the youngest artist in history to write, produce and perform a number one hit, "Foolish Beat." If you do "Lost in Your Eyes," you'll get to hear how beautifully she sings and plays piano. Thanks, guys. Will be waiting on the video of Amber doing all the dance moves! :)

    Amber girl - you just made my heart SO happy. This was another one of MY requests. I've been pushing hard for this video because I KNOW that you both would have LOVED it. So thanks for the recognition - and amazing reaction. Debbie was an incredible inspiration - writing all of her own music at 16. We Should be Together (official video) and Over the Wall are my other two favourites. Tase by Lorna Vallings is another artist that I would love to hear tour reaction to. She has an incredible song called taste. Also featured the AMAZING movie called The Skulls. Perfect for your movie channel.

    Many people don’t realize that some of her music was driven not only by pop obviously but also freestyle music which was huge at the time. There was a “latin remix” that was played here in Miami radio that had a heavier dance/freestyle beat. LOVED IT!

    Debbie Gibson was undoubtably successful. Although she had the typical late 80's pop sound, what stood her apart from others (i.e. Tiffany, Kim Wilde, Martika, Samantha Fox, Robin Sparkles, etc.) is that she wrote, produced, and played instruments (piano) on most of her songs. And all while in her late teens. I don't think she gets enough credit when people usually just identify her with Malls.

      Debbie Gibson’s debut album Out of the Blue came out when I was 10 and that thing was on heavy rotation on my little pink Panasonic radio/tape player for probably a year (along with The Bangles’ Different Light from the year before). I looooooved 😍 that album, an important piece of my youth, and I’m sure my mom was sick of it. 😂 I’d recommend Shake Your Love, Out of the Blue, Foolish Beat, Only in My Dreams, Staying Together, and Red Hot, all great and all were released singles!

This was from her 2nd album. I remember when MTV played this video as a "WORLD PREMIER." My dad was yelling downstairs for me to come up to eat dinner, but I couldn't leave until this video was over... and I saw her LIVE in concert in 1989 in Cleveland, Ohio. She's so talented, and is STILL putting out albums 30+ years after she last hit the top 40. You have to check out songs like:
    Only In My Dreams, Shake Your Love, Foolish Beat (her 1st #1 hit), Lost In Your Eyes (her 2nd #1 hit, and biggest of her career), No More Rhyme, Think With Your Heart, Didn't Have The Heart, For Better Or Worse, One Hand One Heart, Another Brick Falls.... Wow, I skipped the whole "Body Mind Soul" album. Then there are her 2000's stuff. "MYOB" is essential...

    Had to click on this the minute I saw it! This brings back huge memories for me. I was in high school when this song came out and we used it for one of the first routines in my high school Dance Class. So I heard this song over and over again, every day for several weeks as we learned the steps. No offense to the choreographer in Debbie's video, but as I recall our dance routine was MUCH harder! I still remember being tested in a row of 6 or 7 students, in front of the whole class. Nerve-wracking!
