She wrote her stuff before she got released as an artist! That's how talented this lady is. A vocalist, a songwriter, and an instrumentalist. Plus it doesn't hurt that she dances good and she has a gorgeous face.
I was in my late 20's . I'm 71 now. I remember seeing Eddie Money. Not sure if that was the first video but I saw it from the start. I had a vhs tape of tons of videos that I taped from it..over years. I go to watch it one day and my bfs daughter had taped rap over the entire video. I was so mad. MTV sucks now. Once they started putting ads and those stupid reality ( which aren't real life anyway) shows on it just took a crap. I wouldn't watch it if I was paid to.
She did it all: wrote all the music and lyrics, and produced her own album! For those who have no frame of reference: it was 1988. Amazing. Love this girl!
Not true. While she did write the whole thing, she didn't produce it. Most was either done in conjunction with other producers or completely by other producers. This tune, however, was done totally by her and it's the best thing on the record by a long shot.
MelquiVEVO No, I'm not wrong in the least bit. I was referencing her album, not just this tune. She did NOT produce her own album. The credits tell the story.
@@StMichael7 Her exact age is important because with this song Gibson set "the record for the youngest person to write, produce, and perform a number-one single entirely on her own,".
We were blessed to have grown up the 80’s and heard the music from these “teen idols” like Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. They were nothing like today’s young artists that try to be “cool” and are raunchy, immoral, vulgar, half naked, etc. No tattoos, body piercings, plastic surgery, just humble ordinary teen girls who behaved and dressed like the rest of us, and were clean, chaste, upright, and were beautiful and sexy, but wholesome! Plus they were incredibly talented singers who were genuine and sincere with their music. They were great role models for other teens, and this is what we desperately need now days with the direction that society is heading.
Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80's hits, you end up binging on all 80's music for hours on TH-cam? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80's! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80's. This 54 year old will always be an 80's child!
I.... will be turning 45, in 19 days. Never in the world did I ever think... I would ever live long enough to see 45. But hearing this is just something else.
I remember in the 80s older people saying how crap modern music was and that it all went downhill after the 60s. Now the 80s are the equivalent of the 60s.
Do you remember the first time you heard Foolish Beat by Debbie Gibson? I do. It was the song that broke my heart and healed it at the same time. The song that made me feel the pain and joy of love like never before. The song that taught me how to be strong and vulnerable, how to forgive and move on, how to love again. Foolish Beat is not just a song, it's a masterpiece. A timeless classic that speaks to the soul of every lover who has ever felt the foolish beat of their heart. That's why I love Foolish Beat by Debbie Gibson, and why you should too.
Yesss!!!! She was my unofficial GF back then, my high school days 😢😢... I'm sure a lot of my friends felt that way too lol 😂😂.. Gorgeous and talented!!
@user-ox9sh8rq3y I don't recall mentioning that such a record had been broken in the music industry. However, since you want to speak on that matter. I believe Blue Ivy Carter has become the youngest female to win a Grammy at 9-years-old for the song track "Brown Skin Girl" back in 2021.
@@LGranthamsHeir lucky for Taylor but she really has nothing compared to Debbie if let's say both will just be launched as an upcoming artist. Both are great songwriters but Debbie writes better IMO, both are great instrumentalists, Debbie dances better, beauty is subjective but I will go for Debbie, and vocally, Debbie is a vocalist, a diva! Maybe a notch lower than Mariah, Celine, or Whitney but could blow everyone else who are also in the Diva category. Unlike Taylor who couldn't outsing even Britney Spears.
Yes we were beyond lucky! I was very lucky and fortunate to grow up as a child in the 80s which is the golden era of music, toys, and so many other things. Ok I am getting nostalgic again.
The smooth saxophone backed by heavy drums with the volume reduced set the stage for this great song. Then the camera slowly enters a fine restaurant and settles on Debbie. The first 30 seconds are a masterclass in good video editing. Still great in 2024!
@@dundee6402 My friend, the early to mid 80s did feature lots of classic ballards. In fact, it was during that period the original ballards were being released. And just because people hardly remember most of them doesn't change that fact.

Also: Woman in love-Barbra Streisand-80 Never too much-Luther Vandross-81 Never gonna let you go-Sergio Mendes-83 Ain't Nobody- Chaka Khan-83 After All-Al Jarreau-84 Careless Whisper-George Michael/Wham-84 Those are just a few examples out of my memory.

Gibson wrote and engineered this entire song herself and I think it's one of the most well made pop songs I've ever seen. The way she brings the saxophone in at 3:23 is just simply brilliant. I really do think she's a genius. Don't underestimate what she did; it's harder than it looks. Especially since while it may seem "old school" now, at the time it was exactly perfect.
We haven't had any pop artist since Debbie. Taylor Swift has written some of her own songs, but nothing like Debbie. Debbie didn't act like a 13 year old girl at a boy band concert, every time she was out in public, like Taylor does! And Taylor's songs are all the same. They sound the same, they are all about the same thing. Some of her lyrics don't even make sense, they just rhyme, that's all that matters in the pop world today. The 80s and 90s pop music will NEVER be ever again. We will never have great songs like these. Is it me, or did we have way more bands and artists to listen to back during the 80s and 90s, than we have today? We had not only pop, but country (real country, not the pop country crap out today), rock, rap, R&B, hip hop, metal and alternative. Now, all I hear is pop, pop country, and rap (if that's what you want to call it). We had so many R&B and hip hip artists/groups back then. Too many to count them all. I cant even name a R&B or a hip hop group today. The days of Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Silk, 112, R. Kelly, etc., are gone. And it makes me so sad. I mean, I hear the same handful of artists on the radio, the same songs. An artist has a new song, the pop radio station in my city plays it every hour, all day. Sometimes twice an hour! Taylor Swift has a new song released, and it shoots to #1. How is that? I'm sorry, but EVERY song she releases isn't that great. Everybody is now conditioned into thinking that every song she releases is just awesome.
Debbie Gibson- Foolish beat- is my favorite song off her album. I love listening to good ol songs from the 80's. Hadn't heard the song in years.. looked it up, played it, remembered all the lyrics!! yaas!
Debbie was Taylor Swift of the late 80s/early 90s. Thanks to this song she received Guinness Book of World Record for the youngest singer to write, produce, and perform a number-one single on her own. Even Taylor (for all her talents) couldn't beat that.
I m 48 and i was a early 70s baby. And as i grew up life was very hard. From 1984 to 2023 i been thr hell and bk been to so many funreals and ill b going to a other as a very dear close friendi worked with from 1999 til i left my job in 2011 and the friend i had was fun and made u smile even if u r haveing a bad day. He entered into rest last wed. From a heart attack he was airlifted to rochester Minnesota from fairmont Minnesota he was 78 😥😪😢💔😭🙏
I remember when I was 35 years old, I went on a very long drive with my girlfriend. She was a head banger. It was my car so I picked the music. I played Debbie's greatest hits CD twice in a row. On the way back I played it once and then started to play it a second time. My girlfriend hit the eject button. I was driving a Miata and I had the top down. She just threw the disc up in the air. It landed somewhere on I-40. That's okay. I bought another one. Years later, the girl is long gone, and I am still listening to Debbie.
Thats suck, I also like bands like Megadeth, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Kreator and more extreme music like Morbid Angel, Dark funeral , Nargaroth but also I love Glam Metal 80's like Mötley Crüe, Poison, KISS, Def Leppard, Dokken, Bon Jovi etc... and love the pop of the 80's like Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Cyndi Lauper❤, Blondie, Madonna, The Human League and many more .... why people only likes to listen only one kind of music?? You wont be more or less metalhead if you like another artist.
Girl I recorded this song and rewinded the tape recorder back and forth until I had the whole song wrote down. I still remember it word for word til this day and I am 45 years old now. I had to be about 12 when this came out.
I used to love this song, and still enjoy listening to it today, so thanks to the person who uploaded it. I grew up in the 80's and have some fond memories of this period, not just the music, but also the culture. I watched some excerpts from 2 episodes of 'Top of the Pops' from 1982 yesterday, and it showed songs such as: Imagine by John Lennon Golden Brown by The Stranglers Ant Music by Adam and The Ants. ( I strongly urge anyone who hasn't heard of Adam and The Ants to do a TH-cam search of this group, you won't regret it). Several other great songs were also in the charts early 82. At the time I didn't appreciate what good music was being produced. But when comparing it to current chart music, it really highlights how poor much of the music being produced today really is.
Crazy to think she was what, about 17 at the time. I loved that she weote her own songs.
Wrote, produce and Performed this, youngest person ever to do so, extreme talent.
16 when the album came out, but 17 by the time this was released as a single.
I LOVE YOU ESSA MÚSICA! 😊❤💔😢
She wrote her stuff before she got released as an artist! That's how talented this lady is. A vocalist, a songwriter, and an instrumentalist. Plus it doesn't hurt that she dances good and she has a gorgeous face.
I think all you can agree to this, but 80s music was and IS the BEST!!!! My 2 daughters both in their 20s love it as well!!😊

I love this music

Debbie didn't act like a 13 year old girl at a boy band concert, every time she was out in public, like Taylor does! And Taylor's songs are all the same. They sound the same, they are all about the same thing. Some of her lyrics don't even make sense, they just rhyme, that's all that matters in the pop world today. The 80s and 90s pop music will NEVER be ever again. We will never have great songs like these. Is it me, or did we have way more bands and artists to listen to back during the 80s and 90s, than we have today? We had not only pop, but country (real country, not the pop country crap out today), rock, rap, R&B, hip hop, metal and alternative. Now, all I hear is pop, pop country, and rap (if that's what you want to call it). We had so many R&B and hip hip artists/groups back then. Too many to count them all. I cant even name a R&B or a hip hop group today. The days of Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Silk, 112, R. Kelly, etc., are gone. And it makes me so sad. I mean, I hear the same handful of artists on the radio, the same songs. An artist has a new song, the pop radio station in my city plays it every hour, all day. Sometimes twice an hour! Taylor Swift has a new song released, and it shoots to #1. How is that? I'm sorry, but EVERY song she releases isn't that great. Everybody is now conditioned into thinking that every song she releases is just awesome.
Not only in that minute, it also sounds awesome at the beginning of the song, 1 of the best songs of Debbie. I love her. 💖💓
Nostalgia. Hits you right in your heart. I miss being young. I wish I could go back to the 80s.
19 -20 years old then .Almost 55 now..feeling the same after all these years. Yes,it still hits the heart!!
😢me too nearly 50 wish was back at school
agreed
Agree, even during Cold War era, it still felt great cause no internet social media the less people know about politics shits the better
This song actually went to number 1!
How? Lol
@@forgottenpalace4472 sounds like you're jealous of her as she has talent and looks and you haven't.
@@sallyjoan Yes, that's it.
@@forgottenpalace4472 people only knock things when they're jealous.
@@sallyjoan Yes. I'm very jealous. I take that back, I'm incredibly jealous.
anyone who had the opportunity to live in the freedom of the late 80s knows what life can offer
All of the 80s, my friend. Great music! I was a teenager by mid 80s.
I always to want to go to NYC in the 80's it looks cozy
Thanks, neolibs, for ruining everything 🙄
I am an 80s child and miss it a lot in spite of the bad memories. But I had many good memories too. I wish we had a time machine to go back..
Now Don the Con Trump has F@CKED UP EVERYTHING. 😡
Debbie Gibson- Foolish beat- is my favorite song off her album. I love listening to good ol songs from the 80's. Hadn't heard the song in years.. looked it up, played it, remembered all the lyrics!! yaas!
damn, i'm still inlove with her voice and beauty
80's songs were just like magic..
I loved the 80's.... SO glad I got to live in that generation! Debbie Gibson is a large part of my 80's memories. She can sing :)
So happy this was my era of music . Feeling nostalgic 😢

Hallo
Me. 01.10.2024
Who could not have been hypnized by her eyes 😍
Does anyone agree???
One of our favorites of the late 80's...none of you kids now will even know!
She wrote her own songs. True talent
Wrote, produced, and performed...at 16
Guinness book for being youngest female to write, produce and sing her own song.
Debbie was Taylor Swift of the late 80s/early 90s. Thanks to this song she received Guinness Book of World Record for the youngest singer to write, produce, and perform a number-one single on her own. Even Taylor (for all her talents) couldn't beat that.
@@LGranthamsHeir Swifts songs are cheesy and they suck, imo.
She was compared with Tiffany, another beautiful teenybopper, however, as you said, she both wrote her songs & was a pretty good pianist
this song is iconic
One of the best of all time
Best song EVER sang by a teenager!
Tough choice deciding which was best, since theee were many great songs by teens.
I Don't Care What No One Say, I'm a 49 year old Man and This Is a Classic That Will Always Sound Perfect 👍👌💯
I agree
Absolutely
I feel you. I’m 57 and always had a soft spot for this cut
👍🏾

We don't search for old songs. We search for old memories.

O temas que no se pueden olvidar ❤
BLESS …. Most unsung STATEMENT. 🫡🫡🫡
Definitely agree
Something about 80's music. It has a certain vibe to it.
She was underrated!
Nothing can beat the 80s era.
80s was the best times in my life I’m 44 now I remember the 80s so well 😩😢😘😌😊
I am 51 years old and l agree with you
80's for EVER
You are a real angel...
Kisses from Greece
💋💋💋💋🇬🇷
im 42 it was the best hands down.
I love you
Yeah it was, I was 18 in '87 and realize now more than ever that it was a great era. The 90's were also great.
Me and you are the same age. I remember this song like yesterday.
Nicely done, deby
Here I am in Oct. 2024 Still loving her songs and voice. I never thought teen age love lost would be repeated in later years. Hurts just as badly.
2:45 me to
Me to ❤
Same
I remember when I was 35 years old, I went on a very long drive with my girlfriend. She was a head banger. It was my car so I picked the music. I played Debbie's greatest hits CD twice in a row. On the way back I played it once and then started to play it a second time. My girlfriend hit the eject button. I was driving a Miata and I had the top down. She just threw the disc up in the air. It landed somewhere on I-40. That's okay. I bought another one. Years later, the girl is long gone, and I am still listening to Debbie.
What a classless twit. Good riddance, I say.
What kind of girl was that? I'm a headbanger and a mellow Debbie also. Glad you're not with that girl anymore. Better save Debbie.
Thats suck, I also like bands like Megadeth, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Kreator and more extreme music like Morbid Angel, Dark funeral , Nargaroth but also I love Glam Metal 80's like Mötley Crüe, Poison, KISS, Def Leppard, Dokken, Bon Jovi etc... and love the pop of the 80's like Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Cyndi Lauper❤, Blondie, Madonna, The Human League and many more .... why people only likes to listen only one kind of music?? You wont be more or less metalhead if you like another artist.
I would throw her out on I-40 lol
I was both. Headbanger & dug Debbie & all the other talented pop tarts of the 80s!
Música espetacular 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻,anos 80,tenho muito orgulho de ser dessa época
This is my favorite song by Debbie Gibson. It's very haunting.
Debbie Gibson and this song were timeless.
"Are"
great song can't believe this girl wrote and produced and sung her songs at a young age
Boss babe
Still my favorite DG song after all of these years!
Q roloon. Muy, muy ochentero. Tiene el sello de esos viejos tiempos, que nunca regresarán.
This song still bangs.The 11 year old me remembers every word.
Girl I recorded this song and rewinded the tape recorder back and forth until I had the whole song wrote down. I still remember it word for word til this day and I am 45 years old now. I had to be about 12 when this came out.
It sure does and I was 16 though then.
Go back 80's PLEASE!!!!
("Come back") :)
You can its called memory's .
But to be honest i would go back if i could .with what i know now 😁
Amo❤❤❤
bring me plss
So glad I grew up with the music of the 80s because it's the best era
me too
Ditto
me too. the lyrics so beautiful and meaningful
I used to love this song, and still enjoy listening to it today, so thanks to the person who uploaded it.
I grew up in the 80's and have some fond memories of this period, not just the music, but also the culture. I watched some excerpts from 2 episodes of 'Top of the Pops' from 1982 yesterday, and it showed songs such as:
Imagine by John Lennon
Golden Brown by The Stranglers
Ant Music by Adam and The Ants. ( I strongly urge anyone who hasn't heard of Adam and The Ants to do a TH-cam search of this group, you won't regret it).
Several other great songs were also in the charts early 82.
At the time I didn't appreciate what good music was being produced. But when comparing it to current chart music, it really highlights how poor much of the music being produced today really is.
i totally agree. 80's is when u had real good music.
I'm 39 and i loved Debbie when I was younger and still do. Absolutely amazing voice and talent ❤
