20th anniversary of "Anthing Is Possible" album

[Woops]

20 years ago on November 20th, Deb's third album "Anything Is Possible" was released. Despite that it's considered a flop, the album went Gold and the title track was a moderate hit. Then again, that was the same year that Vanilla Ice, Nelson, and Technotronic were popular for some reason...  



Still listen to several  songs from the album, though mainly the ballads from "One Hand, One Heart", "Sure", and the epic "This So-Called Miracle". Also uptemo songs from  the title track, "One Step Ahead", "Deep Down", and "It Must've Been My Boy".


Honestly the ballads could've easily been hits if radio, tv, etc. given her the music a chance and the right promotion. Unfortunately she was basically typecasted as a "teen queen" and that the music industry was slowly changing since alternative was becoming more mainstream, rap more popular, & also the Milli Vanilli scandal caused a major backlash against pop music...

Well, Wiki states November 20th though Amazon & Rate Your Music stated the 13th

Well my old bill says November 20th and I remember that I wasn't gonna wait one more day to get it !!! So we can wait another week to celebrate !

This is a much better album than anyone ever gave it credit for at the time.  This was immediately post-Milli Vanilli and anti pop sentiment was running high.  Radio and MTV were beginning to focus more on "cool" bands from Seattle at that time.

Thanks for the correct date.

I thought Wiki was wrong considering that it's not always accurate. Though same with Rate Your Music and Amazon obviously wasn't around in the early 1990's.

AIP could easily be my favorite album by Deborah.  I do not like Reverse Psychology and Stand Your Ground.  I love the rest of the album and listen to it all the time.

Happy 20th anniversary of "Anything Is Possible".

20 years already ... Damn it was cold that day !!!

[Out of the Blue]

I can't believe it's been that long now.

Wow 20 years ago I was in the 7th grade.  I remember seeing Deb the day after Thanksgiving on Regis and Kathylee that year.

On March 6, 2001 "MYOB" was released.

Another album that radio and MTV should have paid a lot more attention to.  It had three potential hits on it.  There's also not a bad song on it.
