The Making Of: Sabrina’s Upcoming Video – Superman
MCA Music Philippine’s newest singing sensation Sabrina is brewing up a new video from one of her songs in the album “I Love Acoustic“. The new single to debut soon on music channels and radio stations is a favorite hit among Filipinos. Superman (It’s Not Easy) is a contemporary rock song popularized by Five For Fighting from their album America Town which was released in year 2000.
UPDATE! MCA released the final video of Sabrina’s newest single “Superman”. Please see below “The Making Of” YouTube video.
The song comes from the superhero Superman’s point of view, although his name is never mentioned lyrically. He is portrayed as misunderstood and not as powerful as people see him, relating to ordinary people’s struggles to fit in, live up to expectations and fulfill their responsibilities. link
Here in the Philippines, the song “Superman” was included in the top ten charts both in radio airplay and requests as well as in music channels. We all are accustomed to the male voice when we encounter the title of the song. Wait ’till you hear Sabrina’s own rendition of the song. There’s no revival or remake of this song that was done by a female singer. This will be interesting to both new and previous listeners to this album.

HOMER’s last blog post..MUSIC and LYRICS
while sabrina sings beautifully, i don’t think it was just right for her (being a female) to sing the song.
i’m not being a sexist or anything. my closest friend is a female and i have three sisters for the matter. so sexism is out of the question, okay?
but the song is about superman, and as mentioned in the article, “the superhero superman’s point of view.”
how can she sing: i’m only a girl, in a silly red sheet…/i’m just a girl in a funny red sheet…?
maybe mca should have renamed the song as “supergirl” or something else, or if they wanted to retain the title as “superman,” then they should have not changed the lyrics altogether.
again, sabrina sings beautifully, but it was just a stupid idea to let a girl sing a song made for a guy and then change the lyrics.
however, i’ll give sabrina the benefit of the doubt thinking that she may not have chosen the song for the album. but if she did, she may have enough reason for doing so. but still, it was not a very good idea. if it was mca, then they should have known better.
whoever thought of the idea, then they just killed the song and the point of view of superman.
