I think I'll go practise, too.

omg you do? does it have the remixes and stuff? I've wanted those forever. The only one I could ever find was the Deep House Mix.

).

I was a Debbie fan as well. She is now Deborah Gibson and I saw her a few months ago at an AIDS benefit in San Francisco. She sang a duet with Jordan Knight (swoon), and looked/sounded great. She walked right past me and I shook her hand. Not quite the same experience as shaking Stevie's, but nice.

Joey from NKOTB is a total hottie these days, btw.

Hate to admit it, I used to own the Debbie Gibson "Electric Youth" album!!!!

I was a New Kids fanatic too. Still have all of my crap too. I need to put 99.9% of it on Ebay. I'm keeping the dolls though.

Joe was my fave. I met Jordan when he made that solo album at a record signing. Left work early that day to get in line. I wore my Jordan NKOTB buttons, which just THRILLED him to pieces.

Yeah, he was not friendly at all. It could have been the buttons, but the girl behind me didn't wear any and he wasn't nice to her either.

I love Debbie Gibson's music.

HA! Separate Ways by Journey just came on my iTunes! YES!!!!!! The 80's totally rule.

Ok. Deb's copy. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.

I actually didn't mind Debbie Gibson. She at least wrote her own songs, played real instruments, and sang her songs. I say the jury's still out on whether Paula Abdul did any of that.

And now the voices in my head are totally singing "Out of the Blue". I hope you people are happy.

Wow, that is awesome. I always meant to get Debbie's stuff on vinyl, but I only have Out Of The Blue thus far.

You have no idea how much crap I have. It's sickening really. LOL The magazine posters alone were scary enough. I think I threw out most of them not long ago. I have videos, CD's, tapes, posters, toys, the house shoes, the bedspread/sheets, and on and on and on.

I do still listen to some of their songs. I LOVE Funny Feeling from Step by Step. It's my favorite song on that album. Joe and Jordan sounded great together....the best singers in the group. I get nostalgic when I think of them. They were my first concert and I remember the awe of walking into Reunion Arena for the first time ever. It was LOUD with the screaming and music...I was overwhelmed at 13. The Cover Girls were the opening act. "Weeeee can't go wrong..." Me and my best friend, at the time, were going to do a lip sync contest at the mall for front row tickets and backstage passes...but I chickened out when we got to the mall. I FREAKED.

She ended up doing a routine for Games with two girls we met that day who were also best friends and reminded me of Laurel and Hardy. I am NOT joking.

We had a dance for the song all made up and everything! I am a jerk for leaving her high and dry, but I got stage fright.

Sigh...memories.
