I'm not sure why, but the "Lisa Lisa Lisa" comment is still making me giggle five minutes after I read it. Sheesh, put modern-day Lisa Lisa in a group with "When I Think of You"-era Janet Jackson and you've got the friggin' Weather Girls.

I had no idea you had such a Debi Mazar fetish, Jason. I guess you can take the boy out of Long Island, but you can't take the Long Island out of the boy...

I didn't until yesterday when I wrote this entry. Just look at her butt. That's all I'm saying.

Debi Mazar is very pretty, as long as you don't let her speak.
Two other things.
#1 That acoustic True Colors is *gorgeous*
#2 Weren't Full Force the sworn enemies of Kid and Play in that movie that Kid and Play were in (House Party?)? Was All Cried Out before or after the Kid and Play movie?

Did MTV ever show that True Blue video? I just remember some black and white thing-- maybe a viewer contest winner?-- that they ran every 45 seconds. Plus, I thought it was Amy Grant.

They did play the "official" video, Jeff, but your memory serves correctly: MTV did run a contest where they asked viewers to create their own "True Blue" video, and they played the entries nonstop for a full day. This is the one you're probably thinking of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gxnWoxzqJ8

So glad to see that Boston's new album is coming out. The world has been waiting how long for their new record. "Chinese Democracy" is going to be awes---
Huh? What's that? Guns 'n Roses?
Never mind.

I can confirm that Bow Legged Lou was the Steve Lawrence to Lisa Lisa's Gormet.
No idea why Cult Jam member Spanador could not duet with L.L.
Signed, Pete, proud owner of the first 3 Full Force albums (and Lisa Lisa to boot) - and of course it was FF backing UTFO... I'll shut up now.

Where to begin ? Yes, Janet Jackson used to a LOT of fun and seemed capable of producing strings of great singles despite having little to no singing voice. The songs were good enough to compensate for her shortcomings. Ahh, that was SO long ago, wasn't it Ethel ?
I love Tina Turner and will pop a cap in any motherfu*ker who argues with me. But I agree that Typical Male isn't her best song and sounds very dated. It's only listenable because of La Tina. There are many other better songs on the album Break Every Rule. Paradise Is Here is fabulous especially the live version on Tina Live in Europe.
Here's hoping it won't be Eddie Money in tight pants next time, though. Halloween is over, kids.

Oh, and I love the True Blue video. It's neato and also keen. I'm actually kind of fond of this era of Madonna's hair evolution. It's very stylish and somewhat reminiscent of the halcyon days when Olivia Newton-John's 'do ruled the salons.
I've always been a fan of Anita Baker's "Sweet Love".
The one thing I'd like to ask is could you imagine a duet with Anita and Michael McDonald???

A few things to note:
•Julien Temple ("Earth Girls Are Easy") directed the Janet video and used the same kind of one-take shot in the opening of his movie "Absolute Beginners."
•I briefly worked for U-68 in Newark, NJ, an MTV-style music video channel back in the late 80s. Lisa Lisa and her gang visited the studios for the day. The members of Full Force (which was the production team and a separate entity from the trio) were pretty excited to have access to our library of music videos. I was assigned to make them happy by letting them watch whatever they wanted. What did they want to watch? Every Jimi Hendrix video we had, which I pulled out for them. They oohed and aahed over him for the rest of their visit.

Ooh, "All Cried Out" is awesome!!! I remember my friend Greg and I singing this one together (while trying not to laugh at some of the corny lyrics), but doing an excellent job, if I do say so myself... :-)

And now for no reason at all . . . True Blue remixes:
