Subject: Who Is Better: Deborah Gibson or Jennifer Lopez

Written By: woops on 01/30/05 at 8:53 pm

Based on a poll a few weeks ago that had her and the actress from "Alias" (Forgot last name at this moment  :-www.discomuseum.com/DebbieGibson.html

Atleast she isn't a walking tabloid target like Lopez.  ::)

And this is the last thread that I mention the '80's pop singer (for now).  :)

Or first/last  poll that I have J Lo in a "Who's The Best" poll...  ::)

Deborah Gibson...what can I say, I am a child of the 80's.  (Plus J-lo just sucks, IMO)

Gibson has better music (although that's not saying much), Jenny is an annoying whore. 

Gibson's better.

Jennifer Lopez


You're entitled to your opinion.

Though I personally think Deborah Gibson is a far better singer & actress than J. Lo.

Oddly enough, when Deborah was a teen idol, J Lo was studying to become an attorney...

It's almost an unfair comparison between the two because they are both very different in every respect.

I will say that I have noticed a heavy backlash against Jennifer Lopez with little to no objectivity. Tabloids are simply yellow journalism and their power shouldn't be made so great as to be an authority on celebrities, their lives and personalities. One shouldn't assume they know a celebrity based on such.

I do think J-Lo is very pretty. She has great facial features and her body is desireable/enviable; to the point where people with money to burn are getting buttocks implants and such to look like her. Yes, there are a lot of sheep out there. ::)

In my opinion, what I don't like is the way she speaks and I'm not sure if it's her accent or ghetto dialect she can't seem to shake in her real life. Her music's alright, not too crazy about today's music in general anyway.

So that's my rambling on that.

Debbie Gibson was cute as all get-out in the 80's and her hits were catchy and good, for the most part. However, in my opinion, today she seems to be trying too hard in all depts. She wants to be taken seriously as an adult with the use of her full name Deborah, her attempted sensuality reads of marketing strategy as does her upcoming playboy stint. Unfortunately, all of these changes are protocol for ex-teen stars crossing over into the adult genre. See, I think she should have just kept herself as Debbie, embraced her former popularity with pride and continued to build on it, instead of trying to erase it all. It's still possible for her if she took a chance and did the opposite of what her agent recommends.

She's not cute anymore, in the way she used to be. I don't particularly find her to be very attractive either; just not my cup of tea.


I am an 80's buff and in the 80's I would have picked Debbie.

Today, however, I pick J-Lo as the better of the two.

I've read interviews that Deborah Gibson claimed that she never liked the name "Debbie" in the first place.


(Notice that 'Deborah Gibson' is written inside of the liner notes/track listings)

I gotta go with Debbie Gibson on this one.  8)

J Ho is just plain NASTY.

Come to think about it, it would take me a long time to figure out who I like less than J Ho.  ???

The story that came out a while back about her leaving her dog alone with no water or food while she took a two week vacation...and upon her return was actually piossed at her landlord for intervening....he kicked her skanky butt out >:(...that's plenty for me....not to mention her "Love" affair with Puff Diddy gang-bang ::)

It's her NASTY lifestyle.  No regard whatsoever for the vows of marriage (either hers or anybody else's).  She was married to Chris Judd for a very short time and was already sleeping around with Benuflect.

She has alot in common with the Statue of Liberty, if you know what I mean.  ;)

I would also state that Deborah Gibson is waaayyy better than Madonna (post 1990, mot including the infamous banned video), but I happen to like the former Material Girl's material from the '80's.  :)

Deborah Gibson (I still wanna call her Debbie though...)

She has a MUCH stronger voice then JHo... she doesn't need a million backup singers to cover it.

Okay, so personal lives aside Deborah still has way more class the J-low. Deborah is an accomplished Broadway actress and she also writes and performs her own songs. J-low doesn't even come close, talent wise or as a decent human being :P

Neither one of them is very talented musically, so that rules out that consideraton.

Have to go with JLo as far as babe-a-tude.  I mean, she wins by virtue of the booty alone.

There was a fantasy wrestling match a few years ago on a  site I found that had Deborah vs. Beyonce, but didn't like the results...  :P
