How would you rank Deb's best music videos?
Slightly different than my original "Top 10 Deb Videos".
I've cut down her '80's videos to 5 since her later material could have room, which wasn't an easy task...
BTW, I usually separate the videos from the songs since I usually go for memorable images and production value or camp value...
10. "Electric Youth"
Title track from her second album, which was the second single from. Though it's not one of her best nor worst songs, it's still a fun video to watch. It begins with Deb talking about the meaning of the song with images of celebrities and then she dances around a castle backdrop (including her dancers and extras). This was the only video from Deb that was nominated for a Video Music Award, for Best Art Direction, but lost to Madonna's "Express Yourself". In 1999, "Electric Youth" was ranked as the 10th worst video on "MTV 25 Lame" (1999). Which I strongly disagree since I find most pop & rap videos from the past decade tasteless. 9. "For Better Or Worse"
The New York scenery, Deb sitting on the chair backwards, and scenes of her with her then BF Chris Bruno. Also a beautiful ballad 8. "What You Want"
Features memorable images of Deb laying on her Liberace piano on a few scenes. Also a cameo from AJ Hammer from CNN entertainment news.7. "We Could Be Together"
Thought about placing "Lost In Your Eyes", but picked the video of her fifth single from "Electric Youth" instead. Though "We Could Be Together" didn't chart the top 40 and was hardly shown on television in the US (besides Night Tracks). Though still a fun video that starts off with a bus driver giving rules and Deb & her friends having when when he turns around. Also featured her band, dancers, relatives/friends (I think), her old highschool sweater (which she wore on the camp fire scene) and her first car, a '57 Ford Fairlane. 6. "This So-Called Miracle"
Beautifully done and should've been a hit! It featured a 50's prom setting and Deb looking at her best in the early 1990's5. "Only In My Dreams"
Her debut video from her debut album "Out of the Blue". Basically a fun video featuring Deb on the beach with surreal images & a few carnival rides. Music videos aren't they they used to be anymore.4. "Losin' Myself"
Classy, sensual, and overlooked since MTV & Top 40 radio was more into alternative & gangsta rap. Features Deb stripping (BTW, it's PG. Nothing like that certain trashy former pop princess) . Directed by Matthew Rolston.3. "Anything Is Possible"
Her first single from her third album, which was a minor, but unfortunately quickly forgotten, hit. This video featured Deb's new look, which she traded her black hat for a short hair style & a see through shirt. Which she looked sexy, though not 'over the top' like Madonna. It also reminds of those Fly Girl segments from "In Living Color.2."Out Of The Blue"
Title track from her debut album. The video featured her relatives Monica & Denise and Jeff Russo, who later became one of the members of Tonic. Also a fun video with Deborah flipping through her scrap book with images moving. And first video to feature her trademark black hat.1. "Foolish Beat"
Beautifully done classic from Deb's fourth single from 'Out of the Blue', which made her the youngest artist to write, produce, & record a #1 hit. The video also shows her acting, which she was actually crying in one scene. Should've been nominated for a Video Music Award in 1988. Other notable videos:
"Already Gone", while it's a good video I didn't really see anything that grasps my attention though does show Deb's acting and does look stunning as always. Well, atleast it wasn't boring like most videos I've seen from the past decade on VH1 during the dusk.
"Shake Your Love", a fun '80's pop video with bright colors, choreograph from Paula Abdul, and Robia LaMorte from tv's version of "Buffy".
"No More Rhyme", features cameo from Danica McKellar ("Wonder Years"), and great lighting and camera effects. Also Deb looks more mature compared to her other videos from 1989.
"Didn't Have The Heart", the video pretty much sets the same mood of the ballad with the cafe, the rain on window, and the black & white imagery.
"Staying Together"... a typical concert performance taken place from a Houston show from her "Out Of The Blue" tour with backstage footage and other bits (ie Deb playing instruments, Deb & others goofing off).
