Tiffany!  I liked the whole red hair, blue jean jacket look!

Debbie was cute, but too nice.  Not that Tiffany was a bad girl, but it looked like she COULD be under the right circumstances

It's funny you mention that.

I remember back in the day that Madonna & Cyndi Lauper were huge, and the debate was always about which one would last the longest or be more successful (clearly Madonna was).

People were also debating Tiffany or Debbie, and often speaking of them as the "new" Madonna & Cyndi Lauper.  Of course, NEITHER of them continued on with too much success, atleast in the spotlight.

But I do recall reading extensive stories on them in some magazine, and thinking that Tiffany had a good shot because Bernie Brillstein was her manager (he was a hero to me because he managed some of my favorite people, including John Belushi).  But then I heard that Debbie wrote her own words and music, AND played several instruments.  Suddenly Tiffany seemed like a powder puff.  Just up there doing nothing but singing other peoples words.

Tiffany DID however put out a really good CD about four years ago!  It just got no attention.

I think Debbie works behind the scenese now.

Not to be outdone by Tiffany, I heard this morning that Debbie Gibson, or Deborah as she prefers to be called these days,  is going to be in the March Issue of Playboy.
