Two pop stars of the 1980s, Debbie Gibson and Tiffany, arrived in Manila Sept. 13—two days ahead of their back-to-back concert on Sept. 15 at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena.

Gibson, 48, broke into the scene with the 1987 release of her debut album, “Out of the Blue,” which spawned several hit singles.

“Foolish Beat” made Gibson the youngest female artist to write, produce and perform a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single.

Her double-platinum second album, “Electric Youth” (1989), gave Gibson another US No. 1 hit, “Lost in Your Eyes.”

She continued to record and release music in the 1990s and 2000s.

In 2006, Gibson reached No. 24 on the US adult contemporary chart with “Say Goodbye,” a duet with Jordan Knight.

In 2017, she achieved her highest-charting hit in more than 25 years in her duet with Sir Ivan, “I Am Peaceman.”

She has also performed on Broadway and touring musicals including playing Eponine in “Les Misérables” and Sandy in “Grease,” as well as independent film and television work.

Tiffany

Tiffany, 47, was born Renee Darwish and is most famous for her 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” originally recorded in 1967 by Tommy James and the Shondells.

Both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, respectively.

The singles “Could’ve Been” and a cover version of The Beatles’ “I Saw Him Standing There” followed soon after, with the former also claiming the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100.

In the 1990s, she released the albums “New Inside and the Asia-exclusive “Dreams Never Die.”

Tiffany returned in 2001 with “The Color of Silence,” her first album in six years.

She went on to release four more albums, and acted in films “Mega Python vs Gatoroid,” co-starring with Gibson.
