Debbie grows up, December 28, 2004
This review is from: Anything Is Possible (Audio CD)
After buying this album when it first came out and being initially disappointed with the results, I realize now that I wanted Debbie to continue to sound exactly like "Out of the Blue" and "Electric Youth." She couldn't because not only was the music changing so much in the early 1990's (as a previous reviewer pointed out) but so was Debbie. The main problem was her fans, and especially the media, were stuck in a time warp.
So while Debbie forged ahead, everyone else was lagging behind, looking for the sound of a 16 year-old kid instead of welcoming the maturing sound of a 20 year-old woman. Shame on us.
I listen to "Anything Is Possible" every now and again and find myself enjoying it just as much "Out of the Blue" and "Electric Youth." It's only now that I'm able to appreciate Debbie's growth as a musician and producer.
I'm glad to see other folks like this as much as her other work.

'Anything is Possible' for Deborah Gibson!, July 19, 2004
This review is from: Anything Is Possible (Audio CD)
Contrary to what the other reviewers said, I enjoy this album thoroughly. Even though this album would be considered "uncharacteristic" to many D.G. fans, D.G. shows "another side" of herself. On the NRG UP (first side) of the album, she performs songs with "a little pop infused with r&b and hip hop." I was impressed by her rhyming skills and, of course, her positive messages thoroughout (Title Track, Stand Your Ground, Another Brick Falls etc.) that inspire me. On the Mood Swings (second side) of the album, she performs mostly catchy ballads-I enjoy the digital keyboard "feel" of Negative Energy the most. In addition, Lamont Dozier, a songwriter of MOTOWN fame, co-produces a couple of the tracks on the album (You might've seen him on "American Idol" this past season as a co-host!). All in all, Deborah proved that she had the guts to risk an "untraditional" album.
