Electric!
11/24/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Debbie Gibson's outstanding writing skills flowered in full in this excellent album. Her themes are imaginative and insightful and her melodies infectious. The orchestrations sparkle and so does the friendly cover. How sad for her next album, "Anything Is Possible," the decision was to do an "adult" cover with absolutely no personality or appeal and do an album so ambitious few young people could feel comfortable with it. Gibson could have gone on to many hit albums more but with one bad production and packaging decision after another on just one album, Atlantic squashed it all. When will record companies learn to resist the temptation to keep artists growing by design and just let them do what they do best and evolve naturally? Meanwhile, "Electric Youth" is still electric and a charge of a listen. Enjoy!"
Deborah Gibson is the voice of an Electric Generation!!!

"Deborah Gibson's sophmore album proves she's a true musician, singer and songwriter. This consistent set of upbeat pop songs and melodic ballads reinforces Gibson as a prodigious and growing artist. _Lost In Your Eyes_ shows us she can write world-class ballads to stand the test of time. The title song, _Electric Youth_ is truly an anthem ahead of it's time. This techno dance tune uplifts young people and hints at the great things to come for a blossoming musical force. The young Deborah Gibson is electric...she's exciting...she's here to stay!"

"My mom bought me this tape in 1989 for my tenth birthday, and 10 years later I still love it! Everytime I listen to this or Out of the Blue, I'm transported to my elementary school years. Now I jack up the volume when this tape is on while I do housework. My fave cuts are "Electric Youth", "Who Loves Ya Baby", "Love In Disguise" and the lovely ballad, "Shades of the Past"."

"Such a pitty, this is good music if you don't like it prove you are better or leave your comments to yourself. It is easy positive listening smooth flowing nothing harsh. Debbie's concepts are wonderful she is a great inspirational person, someone who is capable of understanding certain concepts without being negative, I wish could meet a girl as cute and as understanding as her, but there is not really any chance of that now is there, well not in this state (sigh) I wish this was the 80's instead of the 90's. All of her early work is excellent, her later stuff his a bit more off-ballence though."
One of the 80's best albums

"Debbie Gibson is truly one of the greatest stars of the 80's. The album "Electric Youth" one of her best. I miss her, and wish she would make more music and share her talent with the world. She shaped my youth!"
