So a few weeks back my hub was channel surfing and we came across a new movie on the SyFy channel and what did we see but both Tiffany AND Debbie (Deborah now that she has matured) Gibson on screen battling mega alligators or some other creature that was mega. Really. They have been reduced to SyFy B films. Oh my. So sad.
All week I have been focusing on current teen pop stars but today is MY day. My back in the day that is. Every generation will have their own teen pop stars and these two were a couple from my day.
Tiffany was a one hit wonder with "I Think We're Alone Now" as she toured America's Malls. I noticed in the video that she seems to be performing at a mall in Utah and I can't help but wonder what the Mormon community there thought of that? After all that song does indicate some rather questionable behavior. Tiffany tried to not be a one hit wonder but alas that's all she has turned out to be. Oh that and a mega creature fighting machine.
Debbie Gibson was Tiffany's "rival" although Debbie beat her hands down. It was never really a competition. She was able to get past one hit and put a few out there on the charts. As she exited the pop scene once she matured a bit she landed herself on Broadway proving that she did have talent after all!
Both girls, at 16-17 years of age, were singing about adult love and as an adult now I look back and laugh hysterically at that notion. At that age you know nothing about love, nothing! But back then? Oh my teenage heart connected with their angst and desires. Tee hee hee...
