Ok Looking at all these comments some are real funny, for people that dont know about this song this song was out before MJ had his version, Michael Jackson replied to this song his hit was so huge they kept this one on the DL his was to much of a hit, funny thing if you know about this song it started a revolution of music as we all know Billie Jean was a turn in music history, Thank You :D
@TRACEWORLD2 Of course Billie Jean was out first... Mj wrote the song! and this Lydia Murdock 'Superstar' song is what is known as an 'Answer' song or a Response Song... shes answering MJ's billie jean song... just like how Lynyard Skynard's Sweet Home Alabama was answered by Woody Guthrie's This land is Your Land song... type 'Answer songs' in Wikipedia, gives u a whole list
This version is available on iTunes also in a remix *sounds almost the same*. I am not sure if "my" 12" vinyl version is the same, but it has to be. I guess back then everything sounded better :)
I wonder what Michael thought about it... I bet he was flattered and all (he surely agreed to let her use the BJ rhythm) and he must have had a great deal of laughing too, I mean to see someone reacting to his song that way and making a hit with it. That was a pretty bold thing to do.
I have the 12" in my garage (no album was released). It sounds way better than this. I don't think there was much controversy because the artist was unknown and got not a ton of airplay. I got it in Germany at the time.
This was a great song from 1983 but this live version on Top of the Pops sounds awful. It probably attributed to why it only climbed to no. 14 and not go any higher in the UK charts using the Billie Jean rhythm.
Oulala que d'émotions, surtout que le Roi de la Pop est désormais au ciel, car il était à de nombreuses reprises l'inspirations de toute cette génération de talents - Merci pour la vidéo, merci pour ton oeuvre MJ - Repose en paix - Vive les Années 80 's !!!!
C'était trop bien, mais cela n'a pas trop marché en France. La version maxi single est vraiment top et vraiment longue avec une belle histoire. A l'époque où j'en pouvais plus de la version originale de MJ, celle-ci est vraiment drôle. Love it!!!!!
great great tune

lydia prétend avoir e une idylle avec mj et que ce dernier l'ignore totalement depuis...
un super hit avec du rap en prime par lydia-que je pensais blanche- qui sortira ensuite hold on the line; un autre bon single.

Probably, not. Otherwise, it would have been more popular in the US.
