5.0 out of 5 stars Electric!, November 24, 1999

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deborah Gibson is the voice of an Electric Generation!!!, August 28, 1998

By A Customer

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Memories..., November 20, 1999

By A Customer

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".
