SuperStar lyrics..?

[smoothie2]

:)hi to all...I happened to watch a movie "Boys on the Side" w/ Whoopi Goldberg the other night, and in one scene, she's at a piano and sings Superstar. As it goes.."Long ago and so far away...(and then) "your guitar it sounds so sweet and clear, but you're not really here..it's just the radio". It surprised me when instead of "it's just the radio", there were different words..not sure..but something like "it's just his way to go"..I know Carole King recorded the song and she sang it using same words as Carps.
It must be that originally it's words were not "it's just the radio"...?
just wondering...and why would they be changed?
It could be too that in line with whatever was going on in the movie, that the character Whoopi played changed the words.
Anyway, I only came across the movie in surfing the channels and only watched a little of it. I do recall seeing the whole thing yrs. ago though, and since it was getting gloomy, I changed the channel the other night!
anyhow...?..hummmmmm

Hi Smoothie2!

To my knowledge, it has always been "...it's just the radio" but I certainly could be wrong. Yes, the words could have been changed for Boys On The Side. Perhaps it was just a cute little funny that Whoopi was making for the movie. I've never seen Boys On The Side. Is it good? I've always been a fan of Whoopi. Take care! ;D

:)hey Superstargal..thanks for your reply...I'm thinking more and more that it must be a line in which Whoopi or the director must have put in for the movie...anyway, I don't recall much of that movie, although just about everything that Whoopi's been in has been good. Sara Jessica Parker is another main character in the show and is HIV positive in the show. Anyway, somebody may pick up on an answer. I loved Whoopi especially in Corina Corina movie.

Wasn't Whoopi absolutely outstanding in "The Color Purple", in my mind she should have won the Academy Award for that role. she was also really good in "Jumping Jack Flash" and Sister Act".

Truly!...She makes people feel good a lot like Karen Carpenter..just with her smile and facial expressions...I used to not like Julia Roberts much, but she also is very popular too because she lights up the world with her smile..

Hey All,
I saw that movie BOYS ON THE SIDE and found it to be a powerful movie. I was enthralled. At first, I was hesitant to watch it just because, but I was bored and so watched it, and got captured by it. A very warm, thought provoking movie. I would reccomend that you watch it!

My thoughts,
