Debbie (Deborah) Gibson
This page is going to be a bit different from the others as it tends to go quite a ways back (never thought I'd be able to say this with a straight face, but all the way back to the turn of the century :-)
A little history first. Debbie Gibson released her first album, 'Out Of The Blue', in 1987. It started a great career continuing to this day. That album went 3x platinum. One of the singles from the album, 'Foolish Beat', made Gibson the youngest female artist to write, produce and perform a Billboard Hot 100 number-one single; a record she still holds today. In addition to many additional multi-platinum albums, she has starred in roles on Broadway and touring musicals (such as Eponine in Les Miserables, Sandy in Grease, and Sally Bowles in Cabaret) as well as in film and television movies.
While knowing her music from her earlier pop career, I got caught up in her 2000's resurgence with her album M.Y.O.B. in 2001 followed by her Broadway album 'Colored Lights' in 2003. I was in her fan club, ran a fan site from 2001 thru 2004 (www.naturally-deborah-gibson.net). I got to see her perform and meet her at a number of shows, musicals, fan club group events, etc during that time. She's still one of my favorite singers and performers.
I'll be posting a number of pics from the various shows and m&g's I attended, plus some stuff from the old fan site, below. It wasn't quite the 'stone-age', but good digital photography for us non-professional people was still a little expensive and the iPhone was a few years down the road (much less having a decent camera in a phone, are you kidding me ;-); so hear that Debbie? I still need a real video of you performing and it's still high on my list :-). So here we go starting with a more recent show where Debbie and Tiffany got together for a short tour in 2011.....

sooooo, there were no camera's or pics allowed of the performance (pre-iPhone in every pocket remember) but I found this 'new fangled contraption', a small pair of theatre binoculars with a (very) small digital camera in the middle, so I did get these (I was such a rebel back then :-)

I ran a fan site about Debbie from 2001 thru 2004. Have some remnants still in my computer of some of the wallpapers and calendars that were featured (sizes back then were mostly 800x600 :-). Debbie signed a number of these for me at some of the various shows and m&g's.
