Hey friends, its that time again. Its Friday Nite! Man, are the weeks flying by or what? Since I've been doing the Friday Nite Video night on here it seems like that's all I've been doing! I'm not complaining, I love writing about and showing these oldies. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do too. It has just made me aware of how fast the weeks go by. Tonight I want to do something that I haven't done yet, a double feature! Yeah, TWO videos. You all have heard of dueling banjos, right? Well how about dueling female pop stars. Not Britney Spears vs Christina Aguilera. BEFORE those two. I'm talking about those two hotties from the 80's Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. Debbie Gibson was the first of the two to have success. She released her first album titled Out of the Blue in 1987 and that was by far her most successful one. It produced four hits for Debbie and one of those songs, Foolish Beat, hit number 1 on the billboard charts. Debbie was 16 when Out Of The Blue was released and she had just turned 17 when Foolish Beat hit number 1 on the billboard charts. She set and still holds the record for youngest artist to write, produce and perform a number 1 billboard song. Debbie had a great voice and looked good and had that all-american girl next door look. My favorite song she did was her first release, Only In My Dreams. Here it is. Check out the beach scenes where Debbie is on the beach in a bed! I always wanted (and did a few times) to sleep on the beach but I never thought to set a bed up on it. The sand was comfortable enough for me! After this we'll talk about her up and coming challenger. As Debbie was riding her wave of success she was challenged by another wildly popular pop sensation. Tiffany released her self titled album Tiffany also in 1987. The first single released off of that album bombed. Her managers came up with the idea of kicking of a tour at shopping malls around the country and people started taking notice at this unique way of performing in front of the fans. When her second single, I Think We're Alone Now, was released it was a huge success. It also hit number 1 on the billboard charts. Tiffany was still signed on to her mall tours and they were becoming more and more chaotic. I remember I hoped she would come to the old Salisbury Mall but that was wishful thinking. Heck, SHOPPERS didn't even visit the Salisbury Mall. My feelings on the two was Debbie had the better voice but Tiffany had the looks. Just something about that long, red hair and that acid washed denim got me stirred up. I always thought she resembled Molly Ringwald, another redhead knock-out from the 80"s. And what's also cool is that both Tiffany and Debbie still record and have small TV parts and even some theatrical performances. For now though, this is ALSO from 1987 and this is Tiffany! Enjoy and see ya next week!
