I agree fully. I am so glad to read that someone else feels like I do. I wish her musical output like the second number would've made her far more popular, because then, there might've been a lot more very sensitive; high quality music; &, its' influence in our cultures; ever since then.
@@AndrewHeller-jn7dxWas she lip-syncing the first song, do you think? The second was definitely live, but the first looked lip synced maybe. If so she was very good at it!

"it wasn't that Debbie wasn't capable of much more; but, this material, of the first song that she was given, was very low quality" Uh, Debbie co-wrote and co-produced the song. She wasn't "given" it. It was hers.

Debbie still had her New York accent back then. I remember seeing this interview.
Queen of pop
5:41 “One Step Ahead”
10:46 “One Hand, One Heart”
Rick Dees and Debbie Gibson .
The weekly top 40 guy!
By that time, Debbie was no longer making Top 40 hits!
Great! But I'd rather "Sure" as a single instead "One hand. One heart"
Quite a contrast between the first number, one of the cringiest things I've ever seen, and the second, which was really quite beautiful.
I agree fully.

Yup, she was interesting looking; although, that hairstyle was not her best look; in my opinion.

I agree, the contrast between the awfulness of the first number and the beauty of the second is as stark as it gets.
