One of their biggies for them and I guess I really do like it. I always thought it was a different one though because the title of the song is never mentioned.

No song epitomizes Karen's unique talent than Superstar. This song displays the full range of her incredible voice from the very low register to the higher octives of her husky alto mixed with the pixy dust of an angel. It is brilliant in every way and deserves to be in the pantheon of very best of the Carpenters.

4 stars....though very close to 5 . Little did the C's know probably when it came out that indeed the title belongs to them. The superstars ...unmatched.

5-stars
This is easily my favorite song from the album. I place this one in the top three of Karen's finest vocal performances of all-time. It's deep, dark and rich.
Right from the very opening of this song you just know it's classic and it truly is. It is such an excellent song that it even received a Grammy Award nomination.
I also love the song's lyric a young star struck girl in love with a rock star who is on the road. Karen sings the lines so convincingly; "don't you remember you told me you loved me baby".

Well done. Beautiful song. What makes it more amazing was that at first, Karen didn't like this song at all...but grew to love it. I also feel that this sung sucks me in, in that, I listen to the lyrical content and feel then, that Karen is convincingly conveying correctly her character's needing her rock musician back in her life...again...such a wonderful lamentable song.

5 stars
Superstar is still as popular today as it was 35 years ago. A classic. This vocal was the first one Karen sung. Magic, right from the start.
Karen's vocals are deep, dark, yearning, longing, and powerful. Richard's arrangement was a scorcher! A great reason why the Carpenters were a perfect duo.

I don't think I could ever tire of this utterly magical recording.
The air of haunting mystique that surrounds this record is only hightened knowing that this was Karen's first take; reading the lyrics handwritten on a napkin, she gave her most emotionally charged and poignant performance to date, and one of the most outstanding of her career. How amazing: the resonance in her voice on words such as "guitar" and "radio"; the crispness of her double tracked chorus "baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby....."; that trademark pronounciation of "I love yeeeeew". "Superstar" - an exercise class in musical arranging: those lone tom fills; those bass guitar slides; the horn riffs - THE most classic Carpenters hooks ever recorded. I love it - I love it!
5 Stars all the way! L

I just keep listening with awe to the piano and bass playing so magnificently together. Simple and ingenious. Not to mention the overall feeling of the song. Five stars, what more can I say!
