Bubblegum pop... let's reminisce nga

[bunny]

I loved Rick Astley's songs!!! I also had a crush on him as well. Favorite ko din si Tiffany and Debbie Gibson...I'm still a big fan of the Jets...i just love their songs...

When I was in gradeschool...super NKOTB and Jeremy (gawd i forgot his surname, yung kumanta ng "Right Kind of Love") fan ako!

[Mister Dean]

Yes, we all had those moments when we listened to what is known as bubblegum pop. You trash it now, but there was a time when you (kinda) liked artists like Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Rick Astley, NKOTB, the Jets... all the way to today's Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and the hundred and one boy bands.

I'd like your thoughts on bubblegum pop in general - who you liked, who you disliked - and what made you feel the way you do towards 'em.

............WHEN I WAS A KID, I WAS REALY INTO THIS GROUP CALLED LINEAR. THEIR SONGS WERE KINDA DIFFERENT COZ THEY HAD ACTUAL QUALITY IN THEIR SONGS WHICH MAKES EM LAST. WHEN I LISTEN TO THE TAPE, UNTIL NOW I STILL DIG IT, UNLIKE THOSE OTHER REAL BAD BUBBLEGUM POP I USED TO LIKE.

Never liked bubblegum pop. Too cutesy for me. But is really Rick Astley considered bubblegum pop? His second album doesn't seem to have that kind of sound.

[DEATHCRAYON]

.............RICK ASTLEY'S "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP" IS A TOTAL CLASSIC!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[suntanned]

Ang tanda na natin!!! Naku Dean... you opened a floodgate...

Rick Astley "Strong Strong Man" and "Aint Too Proud to Beg"

Debbie Gibson "Fallen Angel"

Tiffany "Could Have Been" lang gusto ko

NKOTB (oo, fan ako noon! nanood pa ako ng concert nila dita kahit na nung dumating sila laos na sila) "Cover Girl" "Popsicle" "Angel" um... ang dami!

Tapos there was a brief period with Guys Next Door (remember them? with this guy called Chris Wolf na sobrang buff). They had one good song "I've Been Waiting For You" yata.

And of course, MENUDO! hahahaha

BUNNY - si Jeremy Jordan yon.

Btw, do sila Shanice count? And Martika?

[KuyaDanny]

Mister Dean: bubble gum ba ang tawag sa music ni Leif Garrett?

[DEATHCRAYON]

....................NKOTB RULES!!!!!!!

.....STEP BY STEP, OOOHHHHH BABY!!!! GOTTA GET TO YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

...........AAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA YUNG GUYS NEXT DOOR....YUNG MTV NILA YUNG MAY UNGGOY SA HULI!!!!! UNGGOY PALA YUNG INANTAY NUNG ISA!!!!!!

[Mister Dean]

Guys Next Door!!! My God, that's ancient! SBK Records pa sila, if I remember correctly...

Come to think of it, SBK had all the bubblegum acts... Guys Next Door, Vanilla Ice...

Anyway, I remember Jeremy Jordan very well. "I wannagirl like you, to be with me tonight..." Whatever happened to him?

And KuyaDanny, I doubt Leif Garrett would qualify, but then again, maybe for his time, he was Bazooka Joe personified... LOL

[DEATHCRAYON]

................JEREMY JORDAN IS NOW AN ACTOR, HE RECENTLY STARRED IN A MOVIE WHICH WAS PRETTY GOOD, I JUST FORGOT WHAT FILM.

[suntanned]

Jeremy "Right Kind of Love" Jordan was in the film "Never Been Kissed" with Drew Barrymore. He was the popular guy on campus that she was "in love" with.

[Mister Dean]

Reviving a topic that may cause more embarrassment than anything else.

[VaMpeEh]

si Paula Abdul ba considered? i used to love Forever Your Girl

Martika's Colored Kisses, cute naman eh

Rick Astley, i liked his song 'It Would Take A Strong Man'

[SaintofKillers]

Don't forget those ultra-lame bubblegum pop songs sh*t like dayang-dayang and that stupid "my heart goes f*cken' shalalala..." goddamn makes my ears twitch.

People = Sheep

Unfortunately (or fortunately, you decide), I grew up listening to bubblegum pop. I have to say, I love listening to it kahit na minsan it's too cheesy and corny. There's something about it that makes you tingly inside.

[Mister Dean]

At least your ears twitch. My head starts to fr**gin hurt with the Shalala song.

[arybba]

ohmigod!!! master dj dean, did you have to really propose this topic???

o sige, i was a big NKOTB fan before! i had this big crush on joe mcintyre pa nga! the last time i cleaned out my closet (which was last week), i came across this big, bulky, old bag i counldn't even remember having! it turned out to contain all the NKOTB paraphernalia i collected from grade six to third year high school! you name them: book covers, paperback novels, scrapbooks, magazines, posters, unauthorized bios, even their bedsheets, for chrissake!!! KADIRI TALAGA!!! baduy ko pala nun. i spent pa money having some of those items shipped in from the States.

but when i hear them, the Jets, Debbie Gibson, and all those other late 80s and early 90s pop singers connected with teendom (if you have the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack album, which was pretty good by the way, you'll know what i mean), it makes me nostalgic of the time when i didn't have to worry about office work, budgeting my salary and coming to terms with the fact that i'm approaching the marrying age!!!

just curious...why is it called bubblegum pop?

i used to like debbie gibson (electric youth, b4 i though it was electricuit)and tiffany (radio romance) hehehe

and of course...nkotb!!! and also guys next door

Bubblegum pop: because it's sooooo yummy! And then one day you wake up, realize that the flavor's all gone, and you spit it out.

Don't get me wrong! I loved Bubblegum pop! Ooooooh memories! <;sigh>;

Menudo! - I had this *major* crush on Ricky Martin back then. May taste na pala ako noon! Look at how yummy he grew up to be!

Debbie Gibson! - I just remembered now that I used to have vinyl records of her Out of the Blue (and Electric Youth din ba?) albums. Yikes! Has it been that long ago?!?!?

New Kids on the Block - I fell the hardest for them! My ultimate favorite song of theirs is "Didn't I Blow Your Mind"... largely because Joe McIntyre was the lead singer there. I remember, one teenage birthday of mine, the 1st thing I did when I woke up in the morning was play their Happy Birthday song (siyempre, at the same time, imagining that they were singing for me!).

Those were fun times!
Cheesy, but FUN!
