Paula Abdul - Forever Your Girl

Just like her previous mentioned song in this blog, Paula Abdul also launched this "Forever Your Girl" song as the fourth single from the same titled album. This song was actually my most favorite from that album. See the lyric here.



And you can also check her live performance in Yokohama, Japan in 1991 here.

Mayumi Itsuwa - Kokoro No Tomo

Now this is actually not my favorite song of all. It was my mother's. Way back in the 80s, I keep hearing again and again this song at the morning. However, since I found this in YouTube, I thought it would bring back some of your old memories. Check her song's lyric here.

Tears For Fears - Sowing The Seeds Of Love

"Sowing The Seeds of Love" song was taken from Tears For Fears third and final album in 1989, before they break out. I remembered how I really loved the video clip. It was so full of effects and animation that was really great from that time. The song was actually quite long and has decent great lyrics.



Here's also Tears For Fears performing "Sowing the Seeds of Love" live at Night of the Proms (Antwerp, Belgium 2006).

Sweet Sensation - If Wishes Came True

"If Wishes Came True" is a song recorded by the dance group Sweet Sensation on their 1990 album Love Child. It was the biggest hit of their career and hit number one in the U.S. back in 90s. Sing the song with the lyric here.

Bangles - Manic Monday

The earlieast single from Bangles, "Manic Monday" taken from the album "Different Light" published on 1986. A great melodic song, saying how we always hate Monday morning. Anyway, check the lyric here.



There are lots of version of "Manic Monday"'s live performances at YouTube. This one is taken from the recent acoustic live reunion concert.

Belinda Carlisle - In Too Deep

Belinda Carlisle was one of my favorite female singer back in the 80-90s. She started singing with the group The Go-Go's. The song "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and "Leave A Light On" were the best hit single coming from her. However, this "In Too Deep" song, though was not a big hit, has deep meaning in the lyric. And also has a nice tune.



There's also a live performance of her at 'De Muziekdoos' in Middelkerke (Belgium) on July 1996.
