27 years later and this is still my favorite album of Ms. Deborah's. Wish she would have longer lasting status in the music biz, but times do change. One of my favorite 90's albums still to this day.

Anything IS Possible—except the success of a slam-dunk album that’s rolled as badly as this one was. This was by far Gibson’s best album. The album that took Gibson from teen-Debbie & turned her into a blossoming young adult. The album that should have sent her into Celine Dion/Madonna status. So what happened? Well, what should have been the first single, the absolutely stellar and hook-filled, “Stand Your Ground”, was passed over for the the “OK" but hardly exceptional (especially with an album this long) title track. They then released four more singles––all of which again were nice enough but truly unremarkable––especially considering they had tracks like “Reverse Psychology", "Deep Down", and "Where Have You Been?” to choose from––and the album sank. Bottom line: If you loved “Out Of The Blue” and “Electric Youth”, then this album is sure to take your breath away!

One hand, one heart may be the greatest slow ballad I've ever heard, and coming from a huge fan of 80s-early 90s romantic music, this is one of the best

There is a song that is missing from this list! Nowhere under Debbie or Deborah Gibson could i find "So Close to Forever" which was released on the B Side of the "Anything is Possible " single. It owuld be awesome if I-Tunes would include it at some point.

Odds are if you are writing a review for 21 year old album that flopped, you're a die hard Gibson fan and have a little bit of bias in regards to the record. Genius keeps recommending this dud to me, and maybe this will put an end to that. I bought this album a year after it came out… at a dollar store… for a dollar. Yes. Just $1 a year after it's release. It's hard to imagine a singer having 2 very successful albums going to a dollar bin in a year, but this is exactly what happened. Listening to the clips, you've probably seen why. The iTunes review is quite fair in citing her limited range and flat voice. Even if you go back to older material, you'll notice she has a lot of backing vocals to give her some "lift." One reviewer cites this album is so great because Gibson was not only a singer, but a song writer and producer. No, that Gibson you see with a producer's credit is not Debbie, but Diane Gibson, her mother. I can write a song too, produce, and perform it…. but trust me, it wouldn't be good and that's not an accomplishment. Her first real hit, Foolish Beat, was a bit of an accomplishment considering she was barely 14 when she wrote it, and it was a good track, but later on…. not so much. Having her mother as her producer was also probably one of her biggest down falls, and one of the things that killed her career. What Debbie Gibson needed for her third album was to recruit some really great song writers and producers to work with. Wanting to seem more grown up is one thing, but the execution if very flawed here. Most of these songs aren't just forgettable, they're awful, and Debbie is trying to use her voice in ways that don't work for her. Something a producer that isn't your mom would have never let happen. Honestly, I'm surprised her record label even released this record. Even the lyrics are quite bad. The music also sounded dated when this record was released. It poorly mirrored pop and R&B of the late 80's, but in 1990 this sound was done with. So if this was a reinvention, it was a reinvention in a time machine. Maybe a few years earlier it would have worked better, and not been so blah. Debbie's fourth album would continue to suffer from a lot of these same problems (like mommy, and bad writing) but it was a few notches up, though it failed to chart and still missed all marks. Broadway would give her a second life, but make no mistake. It was her celebrity that got her most of her Broadway roles (and not stellar shows either). Every thing she put out I tried to find something to like, but she never made great music again, or even fun addictive guilty pleasures. I can only imagine what could have been, had her label put pressure on her to work with better people. Even her hits don't hold up well except to nostalgia, but those first two albums had a lot more feeling and believability about them. I give this more like 2.5 stars because there is a lot of effort, one or two tracks that hold up, a few that with better production might have been good, but I can't go higher. At the end of the day, if you can't love or like an album and its this forgettable except when Genius thinks you should check it out after 20 years, then it's just not good.

I'm surprised not a single soul has mentioned the song "Where Have You Been?" as being a real standout on this album. It's catchy, has a lovely piano intro, it's relateable to the negative side of love relationships, sung beautifully, and had an awesome bridge where she really belted it out (I ALWAYS sing along to that part). It's a six-minute song, but I think it could've been easily edited down for radio airplay. This is the one song on the album that I truly think might've given Ms. Gibson another top 10. And, in the process, it would've showed the world a mature adult artist. I can't figure out why this gem was tossed onto the end of Side B. I'd like to see one of today's popular female vocalists remake it. I feel like it needs to be heard. They passed this great song up for the likes of "This So-Called Miracle" which was the second single off the album, and inevitably, failed to chart at all. A great song, but hardly single material. "One Hand, One Heart" was the third single. Again, a great song, but a little sappy and not radio friendly at all. And of course, that song wasn't any more successful than "Miracle" before it. I'd be really interested to know what in the heck they were thinking back then....

After 2 really excellent pop albums this attempt at funky soul was a major disappointment on so many levels - commercially, critically and otherwise. Yes, Ms. Gibson is truly multi-talented, but as a singer she is nothing special and does have very limited range. This album is way too long and most of the songs are not noteworthy. The only real exception is, as most people have noted, Another Brick Falls. It's all downhill from there. Debbie's next album was also a failure as she continued to try and be something she is not - funky and soulful. It would not be until 1995's Think With Your Heart she would regain form, critically, if still not commercially.

There is NO way the person who wrote this review listened to "Anything is Possible" in its entirety. They failed to mention that as with all her albums-Unlike the teen queens of today,-Ms. Gibson wrote, produced, performed, and arranged the majority of the album. "One Hand, One Heart", "Sure", "Deep Down" and "This So-Called Miracle" are just a few of the very strong pop offerings on this album. Also inaccurate is the calling of Gibson's voice "thin". She is a very strong and capable singer and this album shows great maturity and song writing skills for a woman of 20 years. Do your homework iTunes.

The songs "Try" and "In His Mind" are some great ballads. "One Step Ahead," "Anything is Possible," "One Step Ahead," and "Stand Your Grand" are songs that have a great, positive message. NRGup!

The only song I really liked on this album was "One Step Ahead". The rest of it is pretty boring and too long.
