Ben Griffin writes: new site is amazing– the image link of deb through the years is GREAT for anyone who hast seen it please check it out !!!
Ben, I just want to say thank you to you and all of the other kind people who are appreciating the new site. I have long felt Deb was over due for a great interactive web presence to reconnect with all of her fans. She is one of the few artists who has maintained her integrity from day one and has never gone the route of gimmicks or reality shows to chase the spotlight. Instead, she has relied on her talent and her fan base and I am proud to be the person currently facilitating that connection.
She and I had a great meeting on Thursday and are getting together again soon to create some cool new merchandise and ways to distribute some exclusive new music as well as a brand new music video. I really believe that if we can create a fan swelling and Deborah continues to stick to her guns, we are all going to play a part in the positive rediscovery of her talents and music to the fans of yesterday and the youth today who have yet to discover her.
For all of you who have never waned or gone too far, she is excited to get some new stuff for you guys first and foremost, which I think is really cool. So keep coming back. Sign up for all of the official sites to the right so you can stay up to date. Tell your friends. Promote your Myspace and Facebook pages with the player widgets. Sign up for the street team on Reverb Nation if you want to help us promote her new music when the time comes. The next few months should be an exciting time for us all and I am honored to be on the journey and thankful that you guys are liking what you see. I have added a new page (if you look up at the top) that says Site. On that page, feel free to leave comments directly related to the site and what you would like to see more of and I will continue to do my best to bring it to you.
Happy Saturday!

The site’s even better than before and agree that Deb’s a true artist. Heck, I’ll even say that I prefer her over Madonna.
Nothing against Madonna since I like some of her early hits.
Can’t wait for whats instore ,Deb!!!!. Deb just a suggestion but I liked seeing the youtube video blog. Maybe throw togather an offical video blog and post some more video updates .even Kat McPhee was getting into the hang on vblogging .
Deb maybe you could do a q&a video blog. Fans ask questions and you answer there questions on video.
I seen this recently with a ministry website on youtube and it works great.
There was a fan on youtube who commented that Deb should return to her name “Debbie”. MYOB and “Moonchild” albums have been released as both under Deborah Gibson and Debbie Gibson, the latter for familiarity. I know that our very own Deb would prefer Deborah especially in the last 15 years. But if she’s making a “comeback” this 2009, don’t you think bringing back “Debbie” would be a good idea? My risky gut instincts say so, in agreement with the fellow Deb fan on youtube. After all her original pop name was Debbie Gibson (Sorry Deb, maybe you don’t like this idea). When you hear Debbie Gibson, it reminds you of a talented, pretty, wholesome, charming and witty pop princess and people will always remember her for this and they love her for this image. I think it’s worth a try changing back to “Debbie” for this comeback with the support of fans. What do you think loyal Gibson fans? Is it a good idea or not? Or is it just too late to revert back to “Debbie” after all this time? Comments?
Personally to me it doesn’t bother me if she Debbie or Deborah. They could call her late for dinner. It’s just a name. It’s not like she using a showbiz name that is totally different from her birth given name. I never really got it why she let it bother her so much. I know women way older then her that use Debbie and hate the name Deborah with a passion.

Personally, she should stick to Deborah since that’s her name (random Ting Tings referance) and she have stated in old interviews that she didn’t like to be called “Debbie” as a teenager.
Though unfortunately, most people assume she went by ‘Deborah’ to distant her past like Mark Wahlburg or Rick Schroader.
Re Debbie vs Deborah – I don’t think she should go back to Debbie. Firstly, she never liked it. Secondly, she still has enough problems with news stories starting with “she’s all grown up!” While being ‘Deborah’ may sound like she’s trying to distance herself, going back to ‘Debbie’ after being Deborah is going to look like ‘this failed, so I’ll retreat back to what worked’.
If she wanted to do anything she could maybe rebrand as Deborah G or something similar – but first and foremost, she should stay true to who she is, and that was never Debbie.
And on a random note – my ipod is shuffling albums and just started playing OOTB. Exactly what I needed this afternoon!
Whenever she gets married ([i]BTW, I’m not saying she is[/i]), she could go by her marriage name.
My intentions are all good by the way re: bringing back “Debbie” but happy to support Deb all the way. Will always do. Thanks for the comments U
Wow I just saw her last twitter. Sounds like she went to the National Park outside of Vegas called Red Rock. I have been there many times I was there Easter Sunday of 08 I believe they still had a little bit of snow on the moutain tops as well. That is a very beautiful place I never miss it every time I out there.
bob– thanks and i am very willing to do the vote on american idol– i am very busy with work and was wondering if after the show you can text me her number and i will vote my ass off – as i have done in the past– my number is 412-398-0547 if you can text me the info as soon as show is up i will vote away– hope to hear from you– drop me a message on here or a text – thanks again ben griffin
Hi there,
I like her new site it’s the best there is.
For me is this a dream that comes true, because with this site and my space, and facebook it likes she is near by me.
Because in The Netherlands i can’t find nothing of her no albums, no movies, no video’s just nothing and that is a shame because she is the best there is.
I’m a big fan when she has a hit here with foolish beat and a small hit with lost in youre eyes and it became still around her here.
With internet and her sites i read news about her and what i have told early it’s like she is with me and i hope that she is still coming to the netherlands so i can meet her and talk with her about her music and buy anthing she has. I have than a little store in my house from Deborah Gibson so i can always listen to her.
My compliments for her and everone who has work on it so we are having the news at first.
If you can use someone from the Netherlands i’m be proud to help you.
Big hugh

Re: Deborah vs. Debbie: Her name is Deborah, that is the name she prefers and that is the name that shall remain…even when she gets married. Not only is she already established as Deborah Gibson, but does anyone know how much work goes into changing a name?!…especially in the entertainment business. Deborah Gibson is not just her name, it is also a brand name.
Just want to say “Thank you” Bob for running this site with Deborah. For us Deboraholic’s… this site is our several times a day fix..lol. Again Thank you and keep up the good work. It’s very much appreciated.
