The twenty-first season of the reality show singing competition American Idol premiered on February 19, 2023, on the ABC television network. It is the sixth season to air on ABC since the series’ revival. Ryan Seacrest returned as host, and Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie returned as judges. The Idol Across America virtual auditions program returned from the previous two seasons. The remote auditions took place from August 3 to September 14, 2022, as well as a number of open-call auditions, and from these, the producers selected the contestants who can then audition in front of the judges.
In the early 1980s, American R&B/soul singer-songwriter Luther Vandross had “Superstar” in his stage act, sometimes in a rendition that stretched to 12 minutes, with vocal interpolations and an interpretive dancer. Vandross then recorded “Superstar” in 1983 in a slower, more soulful fashion, as part of a medley with Stevie Wonder’s “Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do)” on his album Busy Body. Released as a single the following year, it became an R&B hit, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart. It did not have much pop crossover effect, however, only reaching number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100.
