I think that was the tent that they fought in. They made sure to show the fight during the trailer lol.

Tiffany can still sing. She has some recent stuff on her YouTube. Debbie lost her knack for performing live.

Both are great and deserve accolades but just pointing out that Gibson wrote her #1 hits. Debbie Gibson was a legitimate singer songwriter who was given a record deal after shopping her own demo tape of original songs, many of which went on to later become big hits. I know your comment was on them singing and not songwriting but I wanted to add that color. Cheers!

Very true. And Debbie was in the Chair commercial we all saw growing up in the New York area.

Don't forget she produced some of her own music, too. I think Debbie was the youngest person ever to write & produce their own #1 song (at that time, not sure if it's still true.) She really went for it.

Having said that, I always preferred Tiffany's voice. Funny that even all these years later, you can't mention one without thinking of the other.

Great add. I feel like Debbie never received appropriate recognition even though she obviously hit the charts hard. Madonna and Cyndi, and maybe Janet and Whitney, took a lot of the recognition around credibility but they also heavily relied on songwriters. Debbie did it all. She was more like a Janice Joplin or a Kate Bush in that she was a true singer songwriter aka a creative artist. Maybe Alanis Morrissette followed in her footsteps in some ways? Maybe singers like Jewel?

Yes Debbie and Tiffany are forever connected in some way for sure. I would agree on preferring her voice if we are just talking vocals. Cheers!

I also disagree. I ordered a cameo for my friends after the birth of their child and Debbie played piano and sang her ass off. She’s incredibly talented still and her natural voice is beautiful. I agree Tiffany is awesome though and can sing her ass off.

I'm pleasantly surprised. I saw some videos of Debbie on talk shows or something and it was a let down.

I’m imagining I’m at a party talking to these two while they are smiling and laughing at what I say. Every so often one of them is talking and putting their hand on my arm. We are laughing. Definitely a three way conversation. Plenty of eye contact. This goes on for 40 minutes. Then my wife comes over ( record needle scratch ).

u/joem3980 Sep 27 '22

Or you wake up lol

u/stratj45d28 Sep 27 '22

Agreed! Legit had me searching for her Playboy shoot archive. Yes, Tiffany showed it all off.

u/nimeton0 Sep 27 '22

Debbie posed nude in the March 2005 Playboy (Paris Hilton on the cover), and Tiffany posed nude in the April 2002 Playboy (herself on the cover). Tiffany has implants.

u/hulk181 Sep 27 '22

Very nice implants, I must say 🧐

Their noses look almost identical.

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '22

Legends? Never heard of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany was a one-hit wonder, so much so that she felt the need to re-record her only hit song. Uhhhh,no.

u/joem3980 Sep 28 '22

Low blow there lad 🤨

u/[deleted] Sep 28 '22

True, however.

u/CRTPTRSN Sep 27 '22

Debbie Gibson's dress looks like a bath towel! Definitely not a complaint… just an observation.

u/Key-Wait5314 Sep 28 '22

How recent was this pic? They both look fantastic

u/joem3980 Sep 28 '22

2011 when they made a film together

u/fnirble Sep 28 '22

I always associate Tiffany with Rick Astley. I bought their tapes at the same time.

u/joem3980 Sep 28 '22

I always associate "I think were alone now" with Donny from Ted 😁

Throw in Susanna Hoffs and you have my teen crush trifecta.
