A lot of people here shocked there's an original Danish version of a massive international hit. Wait until I tell you about Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn"... ;)
@choncord Essentially the same deal! Originally released by a Danish singer (in a Danish version), then by an American band (in English), then by a Norwegian singer (in English) before Natalie recorded her version. :)
@@Redstomp The difference is however, that it was written by members of that american band (Ednaswap). The danish version of Torn was a translation, but was indeed released first.
cmrnff Well then at least Jamelia could sing it in another Way. But no she sounds just like Christine. That just says more about how Jamelia dont respect other artists. Yes not Jamelias fault it was given to her, but she could make her own version of it. Now people Think Jamelia made the original one unless they do some research first. And not only does Jamelia take all credit for it, where is the original artist is all forgotten. Shame on Jamelia and the producers too.
When the "home market" have a population of 5.5 million people, it's difficult to go "worldwide" with a song. Then it was offered on "the market" and Jamilia, home market is 65 million, picked it up and did her Hit.
This is my first time hearing this version. I didn't know Jamelia's was a cover. Personally I like Jamelia's version more. It just has a good R&B vibe that fits the song well
@@nikoskabbadias Agreed. If anything Jamelia sounds nothing like R&B on her version. I remember being puzzled at the time that the song was marketed as R&B because it's pure Swedish pop, much like Britney Spears, A-Teen stuff. The duo that made this song are Swedish.
I came here searching for the background voice I heard in the Jamelia's version. I heard a voice that does not belong there but higher. I did a background check and well here we are! I love this! You deserve the credit for this song!
Remee is one of the song writers and producers of this song, and in an interview with the Danish national radio (channel3/P3) it's stated that he also did background vocals on the song.
YES I FINELY FOUND IT👍👌👍😀😀..I heard this song 4 some years ago but the only 1 i could find was Jamelia so i bought that singel..But it was this 1 i really wanted & now i found it here on TH-cam😀😀So thx 2 TH-cam & that we can find a lot of good songs & music👍👌👍😀🙏🤝💖❤️💖🎤..This song i’m gonna listen a lot 2😀😀..!..I was so desipointed back then when i could’nt find it,but now so many years later it came up here👍👌👍😃😃😀A big smile on my mouth now😄😄😄
The song is originally Danish and was presented by Remee, Cutfather and a third guy. Christine got the song from a TV show called Popstars but Remee and cutfather did represent the song for other people. Jamelias agent called the guys and said that they also wanted the song. So the compromise was like this😊
@DeliciousNicNat She is the original singer behind Jamelia's international hit single "Superstar", which was written and produced by Danish producers Cutfather & Joe and Remee in 2003
I was today years old when i found out this is the og 😭 And it's the fact that Jamelia's cover only had different vocals and some lyrics changes but the instrumentals are 100% the same 😭
The male dancer in orange singlet and jeans looks like he is a ballet dancer by training. His movements are beautiful. I wish the video had more of him.

This isn't the demo tape, this is the first artist accepting the song, 1 month before Jamelia accepted the same offer . Creators had a contract clause that this girl would loose if a bigger label came along . And Jamelia had the bigger label .
Maybe Jamelia was the one making it famous internationally, but it doesn´t mean that she is more talented. The musical industry is simply bigger in the UK, US etc.
Never knew this was the original but both released within the same year. Although one or two lines were different. Don't think this version was released in UK
Here in the UK this song was used for a kids clothing advert when I was young. The other day the advert and song popped into my head and now I'm binge listening to this because I never knew the song title before.
Pop music is a different beast. Release a hit in one year and it does pretty well. Then release a cover of it (in the same year no less) and it charts even higher! I guess if Christine would have written the song, she'd have been pretty pissed off, but hey, most popstars are vessels which are discarded like laughing gas canisters in the road - it's the music that matters to the fatcats
That's OTT. If she was a writer she may or may not have authorised it. Some artists do. The writers/producers are Danish like Christine, it was a hit. Jamelia's label may have scouted songs for her or the writers had a deal with the label. Jamelia's version is iconic. If an artist doesn't like it, they should write their own music. It's not the only 2000s song that was re-recorded. Kylie Minogue's "On A Night Like This" was originally recorded by Pandora in 1999, the composers were disappointed it wasn't a hit, gave it to Kylie, and well 💁🏻♀. It's not just pop or the 2000s. A lot of the 60s and 70s pop, rock, blues were covers within years of each other or even the same year. 80s, 90s adult contemporary, pop (eg Celine DIon's songs)
I had no idea this song was Christine's. I remember Jamelias version here in the UK and found her ad libs on the end of the track definitely make it her own. This version doesn't seem quite finished? Some of the lyrics are also different. Considering the backing track is identical and this isn't a demo. Jamelias version vocally clearly stands out! Xx

What about torn?

We all know that's why it didn't make a bit of sense
i like both versions but expected way more than 710 subscribers to support this kind of talent.
I do too
I like both versions too. Watching it you can see it’s dated but at least it’s not today’s crap.
i can barely tell the difference between the two versions!!
Jamelia can sing...that's one difference.
It always confused the fuck out of me I never what version I listend to
Exactly Jamelia stole the song. She sings it completely like Christine. If she was covering it she would sing it her own Way.
cmrnff Well then at least Jamelia could sing it in another Way. But no she sounds just like Christine. That just says more about how Jamelia dont respect other artists. Yes not Jamelias fault it was given to her, but she could make her own version of it. Now people Think Jamelia made the original one unless they do some research first.

cmrnff Jamelia is allowed to say no too, and show respect to other artists. What a thief.
Christine Milton ftw and she deserves all the credits for this song.

Well, the song belongs to the writers.
My life is a lie.
SUN ZAHO haha same here
Same here i never thought that this the original version..
Same
Your life on this world is a lie not in the hereafter though
Haha, then check Nathalie Im ruglias biggest hit, also from a Danish song ;)
This must be an unreality version! I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that this was the original!!!

This version is cool too! She reminds me of Kelly Clarkson. ❤
Everyone keeps talking about how they didn't know this was the original version. I'm Danish, and I didn't even know somebody DID a cover of this...
What are you that slow or something?. 😐😑.
@@delete---7593 No. I just didn’t know. I don’t think the cover version was a thing in Denmark
Uhahaha
Lmao at the choreographer line. 😭😭😭😂😂😂
I wonder if it was the original line- would sound so odd...
It almost sounds like those horrible histories spoofs
@@Ben-yj8ye .🤔😑.
Huh?!.
@@delete---7593 if you haven’t watched Horrible Histories then you’ll not know what I am pertaining to
So that's the Original!
At least Jamelia called her's a cover. J-Lo says she wrote an original called Can't Get Enough.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Christine rocks! Her sister is nice too :)
I honestly didn't know that there was another version just before Jamelia's. Just like that, I'm gonna show this version some respect

my first time see the singer and the video clip, i heard this song when i was a kid, and now i found it 😊
that would have been the Jamelia version you heard. That was the famous one. No one knew this was the original
Watching this awesome stuff in 2020!
I've never heard of her until now
too much lie in life
Until now... ;-)
I'd always heard this song in the bus, back home from highscool. They always played it in the radio :)
I can't believe this song is 20 years old. 😱
That moment when you completely forget a song from your teen years and rediscover it by accident! I love you TH-cam, you're a superstar!
.......I was a kid when I heard it.
Omg I can’t believe I found it!! I just remembered the song but when I searched for it it was the other version that kept coming up!
@DeliciousNicNat She is the original singer behind Jamelia's international hit single "Superstar", which was written and produced by Danish producers Cutfather & Joe and Remee in 2003
Literally never heard this version till right now. I always thought Jamelias was the original.
Christine Milton came out with this song first and is the Queen !!

2023. Childhood days. This song still rocks. 👌
So this is the original nice one - December 9, 2023
The Original DK
Omg!!! I feel sooo bad!!!
Why is everyone so shocked, surprised and/or upset? So many popular songs are covers, samples, remakes, etc. and it's not something new lol
Because voice sound the same THAT'S WHY!. 😡🤬.
@@delete---7593 Their voices do not sound the same. Jamelia is the better singer
Much more better than the following versions!

DENMARK!!!!
I'm so glad I dug out the original version! Love her singin!!!
?
@@delete---7593 the Jamelia version is most popular. This version of superstar is virtually unknown.
7 weeks number one in denmark!
woah this is a bop
Been looking for ages finally, after 7 yrs i found this song! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Xxx
I think u we’re looking Jamelia’s version
Wow so this was the original.
המופרעים של הפועל בכל מקום
First time to see and hear this on Tiktok 5/12/2023 😂😂😂
This is almost like the version that's handed to record companies to pass on to artists.
Exactly
That's called a "demo".
The writers/producers are danish and so is the singer. It spent 7 weeks at #1 on the Danish Singles chart.
This isn't the demo tape, this is the first artist accepting the song, 1 month before Jamelia accepted the same offer . Creators had a contract clause that this girl would loose if a bigger label came along . And Jamelia had the bigger label .
@@johndododoe1411 8 months before.
There's a few lyrical changes Jamelia's version did to the UK no.3 hit.
I doubt I'll ever hear the word 'choreographer' in a UK pop song ever.
in the original a line say "DJ don't touch that cross-fader" in the Jamila version it is "Bad boy's on ther best behavior" ;-)
The camerawork is awesome ❤️
im too biased towards jamelia! i cant help it! i never knew this is the original lol
I wonder why this original version didn't get commercial success instead the cover of jamelia has been a huge success in different country
I am pretty sure that choreographer line has something to do with it. What a complicated word for a chorus.
Wtffff! I had no idea 😂 also jamelia changed literally nothing hahaha
At least she changed that choreographer line lmao
It is a sin that you have less than 600 followers. .. You should have 60,000,000! Great flow!
"You move like you're some kind of choreographer " um ok...
you move like you've got some kind of choreographer

Maybe Jamelia was the one making it famous internationally, but it doesn´t mean that she is more talented. The musical industry is simply bigger in the UK, US etc.
Omg, the instrumental really is exactly the same ! I never knew this.
Here for bonus track ❤
Came here to listen to the original one so this is it then
Belive it or not she was a teatcher at my school :D!

I don't😊😊😊 what is this i feel like this
This is crazy
And here i am after 18 years, just discovered that this masterpiece is not jamilia's song. 🥴
What else do i know wrong in life? 😤
haha same here ! only found out today after years of hearing that version on the radio
