I think it would be better to compare them years apart and not only one year apart. That way the 'evolution' can be compared better.
Like when Gloria Estefan was in Miami Sound Machine, her first solo album and the last one she made (can't remember the name):D

Unison(1987)

Janice, Celine Dion's debut english album "Unison" was released in 1990 not 1987. I chose Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl". But to correct if I'm wrong, Gloria Estefan's debut album was "Eyes of Innocence" came out in 1984 with the famous Miami Sound Machine. You shouldn't add this one.

I got this information from a website(Unison) and they said Unison came out in 1987. Maybe they were wrong?[shrugs]
