I voted for Expose as well. They were the hottest freestyle of the 80's in my opinion and the most successful! :thumb: Gioia was hot! Unfortunately when she left the group, I lost interest!

Oops!!! I can't believe I left out one of the best freestyle acts from the poll... Sweet Sensation!!! Sorry, Roemy, as I know that they are one of your favorites! It just slipped my mind (for a moment...) :p

That's ok :) I don't know if I could choose a favorite...when it comes to the women of freestyle, to borrow a line from daffy, they're all my favorites! :lol: I'm torn on a 3-way tie on this list between Expose, Sa-Fire and the Cover Girls :p

I'm with my fabulous stalker/stalkee!!!

No suprise here, one of the most underrated artists of the 80's. Stevie B!

Thanks for your vote, DJ!!! Stevie is certainly an overlooked freestyle artist of the 80s!!!

All these names are great. But, of these choices, I picked Safire.. So many songs I really love.. George Lamond would come in second (out of this list). They both still perform and have new albums.. I saw George Lamond a couple of years ago. He's doin' well..

I do have more favorites.. Freestyle music always puts me in a great mood...

I'm gonna have to go with Stevie B on this one.

Stevie B (Party Your Body, In My Eyes, Dreamin Of Love, Spring Love, I Wanna Be The One, etc) was pretty awesome, too.. Along with Johnny O (Fantasy Girl, Highways of Love, Memories, We Can't Go On This Way, Dreamboy/Dreamgirl with Cynthia, etc). Between them two and George Lamond, I could probably pick any of them for #1 male Freestyle Dance vocalist... Then you have Tony Moran (Dance With Me), Noel (The Question, Silent Morning, Child At Play, Out of Time, etc)...

Then you have the women.. I can go on forever with them so I'll just leave that for another time...

I voted for EXPOSE. I saw them play live, and their band was terrific, and they sounded so much better live. Ann was my favorite, but they all were HOT! Great show, great tunes, and it didnt hurt that I was one of maybe 12 men in an audience of about 3000 people. It was a VERY good time.

One of about 12 men? What the nuts?! hehe

I saw Expose perform live at a club back in '88 as well, Jasper! They were performing with Company B. (Gioia was still singing with the band at that point...) Expose really rocked the house and you could hardly move on the dancefloor it was so tightly packed with people! Company B weren't nearly as good at performing live, but they looked good in their vinyl mini-skirts, stilletto heels and tinsel wigs, so they were excused!!! :)

Here in Corpus Christi, back in 1988 there was a perfect attendence and writing campaign in all the schools in town, and if you won, Expose would come play at your high school. Our school really didn't try that hard, which piss'd me off to no end, but a school across town won and they performed there! I would have liked the opportunity to see Expose that night, but alas, I didn't know anyone at that school who could say, "Come Go With Me!" :lol: I know, lame! :)

I voted for the Cover Girls, but I would have voted for TKA if they had been there.

Yeah! I'm glad that someone voted for the Cover Girls, as they really had some great Freestyle dance tunes out in the late-80s/early 90s, as well as some great, sweet ballads. :)

Expose though Cover Girls were close following behind.

I had to vote for the Cover Girls! "Show Me" brings back instant memories of when I was finally allowed to go to the new teen dance club and "All That Glitters Isn't Gold" and "Inside Outside" are some great tunes! :)

Out of curiosity, what genre would Nu Shooz fall under?

I'd put nu shooz in the freestyle category as well....'point of no return' is soooooo freestyle :D I'd say 'I can't wait' is pretty much there as well :cool:

I went with Expose. They had a lot of great songs.

I am so glad to see that there are so many Freestyle fans here. I sort of thought no one cared about Freestyle. I was recently introduced to it by a friend here in NYC and I really love it. It is so different from the music that you could hear in Europe around the same time. I voted for Expose, but I really like Stevie B too. This is really cool. I had no idea that I would stumble over a Freestyle poll here. :) :D

Yeah... another vote for my girls, Expose!!! Glad to see someone from overseas actually knows who they are and enjoys their music!!! :thumb:

I really do like them. I listened to their Exposure cd today. It is hard not to sing along when listening to them. Good music to clean the house to as well. :) :)

I love Expose's Exposure CD. I had it on tape when it originally came out and my tape went blamo so I recently purchased it on CD. I listen to it at least once a day!!! "Come Go With Me" and "Point of No Return" get me grooving every time. I also love "I Know You Know" and "December"... great songs, all!!! :)

Sa-Fire is my favorite!!!
George is great too!

Hey Pippi, nice too see another scandinavian who also loves freestyle. I'm probably Sweden's only DJ spinning the Freestyleflava.
A warm feeling came over me when I saw this poll :)

Wow, another European that likes Freestyle! That's awesome, Alexx! BTW, I don't think Pippi will be back here on the Xchange... it's a long story. But welcome aboard Alexx!

oh, ok. too bad. thank you for welcoming me. Nice people here.

Well, I would've loved to have been able vote on this Poll but it was impossible for me to choose a "Favorite" out of the Options you listed, I Love all the Artists you put in the Poll Except Nayobe and George La Monde, I was never really a big fan of those 2, plus you did not add a "Other" option as there were other Freestyle Artists you left out :( ok, I'll stop whining ;)

Great Thread though :)

I'll go for Lisa Lisa. I didn't think I knew any of her songs until Therr reminded me of some that I had completely forgotten about. :lol:

my all time favorite artist is SAFIRE -

She has fierce attitude, the looks and a great voice. I saw her perform recently and she looks super beautiful. she truly is a class act.

other favorites, expose, sweet sensaton & tka.

Hi there, SaFire fan!!! It's always great to meet other Freestyle fans! It's also good to hear that SaFire is still performing and looking great!!! :thumb:

still around & kicking strong - she released a greatest hits cd last year entitled "bringing back the groove". all her dance & crossover hits, including "boy ive been told", "thinking of you" & "let me be the one" among her many hits have been updated to fit perfectly into todays club scene. she also includes new music. great dance cd.

check out her website at www.globeentonline.com for more info on this classy dance diva.

Expose' is my favorite freestyle artist.

I chose Lisa-Lisa. :)

Can't say that I'm too surprised that Expose have run away with this poll, which I had completely forgotten about! :lol:

It's good to see some Freestyle fans here.
As of right now I can say that Gioa Bruno just signed to Koch Record Label albumdue out in August I believe.
TKA is also in the studio recording a double album, but know they have added George Lamond to the group and still go by TKA. So now it's Tony,K7 and George Lamond.
Bad Boy Joe has also in the past months released a double Freestyle Mega mix cd with 1 cd mixed with all the classic's and a 2nd cd with all new Freestyle by new artist.

If I were able to listen to music at that hour, I'd check it out....too early for me though :( Late at night's my ideal for music (and pretty much everything) :lol:

I chose to vote for Lisa Lisa.

I chose Johnny O. Cynthia was great too.

Last year on a SoCal trip I heard a mid-day mixshow on some station throwing down Expose, Cynthia, Cover Girls etc...it was awesome.

my all time favorite is SAFIRE!

Ouch! This is a tough one for me because I like all these artists on the poll. I love old school freestyle music! But I will vote for Exposé. :yesnod:

I voted for the Cover Girls even though I really don't have a favorite and like all 80s Freestyle music.

I didn't notice trinere on this or will to power. they had some nice tunes. they must not be as big (at least will to power) but those really bring back memories for me.

I forgot about Trinere when putting this poll together, saxit2me! They had a great sound! I also liked Will to Power! :clap:

Other -- Linear.

I had to go with Stevie B.

Judy Torres. I LOVED HER!!!! I'm listening to my freestyle CD now I bought at the freestyle concert I went to ealier this month! :bouncy:

I picked other

I liked Canadian freestyle artist Nancy Martinez. You may remember her 1986 hit 'For Tonight'. A wonderful song :thumb:

Favorite group: Cover Girls "Show Me" is my fave
Favorite single artist: Sa-Fire "Don't Break My Heart"
Favorite male artist: Stevie B. "Spring Love" is my fave

Please don't forget Sweet Sensation. They are actually neck to neck in my fave group category!
