FLASH IN THE PAN BABES-PART II
LDH, Colossus, this is for you. The second half of tonight's double feature is Deborah Gibson f/k/a Debbie Gibson. This eighties babe was the Britney Spears of her era. Best song: Lost in Your Eyes. Best attributes: bus-stoppin' body, great voice. Worst attributes--no idea how to gracefully exit from the scene. Most recent indication of career desperation, eight-page skin photo shoot in Playboy to coincide with a new single, Naked that was to launch her comeback. Instead, it was the swan song. Sorry, Debbie. You are past your sell-by date and lack the talent and the class it takes to keep a classic rocker like Cyndi Lauper on the road.

I actually saw her last year in a regional theatre production of Chicago where she played Velma (played by Catherine Zeta Jones in the movie). She still has a great voice.
