Claire Richards - Superstar

[Classictv90s]

Excellent performance from Steps' Claire Richards as Karen Carpenters of The Carpenters on this pop stars special edition of Stars in Their Eyes.

I actually did see the person who would perform as Claire in the next series of the show next year.

[SilverRanger92]

Wow she sang this song so well xxxx

[StepsGirl94]

And she can still sing now maybe if the sales of STEPS Ultimate Collection are as good as they were 10 years ago they might do a concert after the documentary.

[sarahdaisy]

i miss steps so much! and i love claire! she has such an amazing voice and if you ever hear just a snippet of steps music you can tell it's them just because of the way she phrased and the notes she hit. love her :)

[wanganuifulla]

was this a celebrity one, or was this before she went into steps?

[59211bart]

@wanganuifulla Celebrity special

[toxicbaby]

[mossy2918]

i think she does a fantastic job on this song!!!!great voice x x

[timothygreenslade]

how along ago was this?

[SmileyFan29]

She's talented...

[Lucienofficial]

I think she sings a lot like Karen Carpenters with the warbelling!!

Ironic that she should sing as her with her recent battles with her weight!

[sofia8991]

fantastic i really miss steps! (steps is her band that she used to be in)

[Kelendria4Life]

She did a good job

[markoj34]

I remember watching this when it first went out.

Great performance and i'm so glad you posted it!

[vcts5678]

Go Claire,sure I'm not the only one who misses you n your voice....:)

[devoxtc]

well it doesn't sound much like KC, but it is well sung

[sarahlovessmartiees]

Aww H and Lee there to give their support but where were Lisa and Faye? Or did i just miss them? :S

[claireanz]

Lee wAsn't there..are u referring to the guy beside H? that was Mark weBB.. cLaire's x-hUsbaNd..

[sarahlovessmartiees]

[59211bart]

[StepsComeback]

Click on my page and sign my petition to bring back Steps! Please? xx Claire Rules in this performance!

[59211bart]

same here lol

[stephietwin]

I loved this when I saw it, my sister and I recorded it and wouldn't stop playing it.

[HotFuss]

Martine McCutcheon's version of "Superstar" is the BEST I've ever heard!

[HenryStar]

I wish Claire would come back!! Her not singing is a waste of an amazing voice!!

[TheMasterssidekik]

Wow. I love this. I don't care about her weight now, and neither should you! At least she's getting off her backside and doing something, unlike a few people I know, that I could name.

[59211bart]

Such as BBC Celebrity MasteChef

[danhi21]

so wot!!!!!!!! she's still amazing! xx

[Foresttaft]

Buy the new issue of Woman magazine..

She has banged the weight on, reckon shes swapped bodies with Sonia off Eastenders...

[madmegzy]

i saw photos of claire recently - she really has put some weight on hasnt she? although she still looks amazing

[armleyglenn]

I have never seen this before. It is fantastic. Claire is so underated. Not only beautiful but very talented.

[TimPervito]

Wow! I didn't think I would ever see this performance ever again!

[miscollaneous]

Hey Rach,

Just wanted to say I really love this performance and thanks so much for putting it up!

(I'm really hoping you're the same girl as on the lastfm forums now... or this message will make no sense) :p

[kcwannab]

wow way to go great job she did . thanks for posting

[joeljack1]

Jackie Clune should have sung this one!!!

[bonedown202]

I really missed the Steps especially their dance routines.

[Ella1464]

Wow, what a lovely version Claire sang. That was a good impersonation of KC. Well done Claire! :)

[Keithoj]

Claire was Steps - without her they would have been nothing!!!!

[princess20892]

wow claire did a really good version! She has always said that Karen is her idol though xx

[frb01]

No one can replace KC, but this is a very good tribute/cover.

[cyllanl]

claire is  the best

[moonmagic]

THere were no 'lead singers' in steps. They all sang equally most of the time but yeh claire did tend to get a bit more if it had to be un even.

I loved that in the first video H barely says a thing whilest lee does his erm... "rap" in 5,6,7,8 i mean and then you look at the later vids and H did a whole song by himself... and slowly became addicted to sunglasses... hmmm

=D

[gary1961]

Great performance - but she is much better as herself in Steps. Such a beautiful and powerful voice and an amazingly large mouth; I'd love the chance to kiss it !!!!

[GottiChick]

wow...

i love this..

is this a contest???

if she didnt won in this contest maybe boy george payed the judges ha ha...

i love her voice...and H was there to support her..yay!!

[MischiefMaka]

Actually, ilvcliff1988, H and Claire were the lead singers. If you really followed them, you'd know that.

[ilvcliff1988]

claire wasn't the lead singer they all had ago at singing lead vocals. but she was good. i loved steps i went to see the steps gold tour in sheffield it was a suprise christmas present from my mum and dad and uncle and it was amazing i was sat right near the front and it was like a dream. wow i loved it x x x

[kissmariah]

Wow, she is so good!

[sammielous]

I remember when i saw this i wanted either her or a1 to win and for some reason boy george won.

[LedKashmir]

she sings it good, but she definitely no Karen Carpenter...who is this person anyway? who's Claire?

[aomorgan]

Claire ws he lead singer of the British supergroup Steps...she is really amazing as herself...this vid doesnt show all she can do, but its a great KC imitation

[mckenneth]

OMG.. claire, i've always love you...

[oreozzzz]

wow. I could be fooled by this!

[Lahela12]

WOW, CLAIRE! I always new she had a great voice singing with STEPS, but this was unbelieveable. SHE IS SO GOOD.

[Orione]

Wow, she is really good!

[Stepsmatt]

Claire will always be stunning to me. She is amazing!

[serebii]

wow ...Claireeeeeee ...thanks 4 uploading dis clip ...
