2019 and I remember when this show aired and when I heard this song, I memorized it from playing it a million times to the point that I sing in randomly from time to time, tonight I played it for the first time in a few years and when I hear it brings me back to the first time I heard it, I was 16-17 years old in high school. I love the passion and the instrumentals in the background. It’s truly nothing like it. It gives my nyc Broadway 🎭 vibes and I love it!!!
Fade in on a girl With a hunger for fame And a face and a name to remember. The past fades away Because as of this day Norma Jean's gone, She's moving on. Her smile and your fantasies Play a duet That will make you forget Where you are. The music starts playing It's the beat of her heart saying, "Let me be your star." Flash back to a girl With a song in her heart As she's waiting to start the adventure. The fire and drive That make dreams come alive, They fill her soul. She's in control. The drama, the laughter, The tears just like pearls. Well, they're all in this girl's repertoire. It's all for the taking, And it's magic we'll be making. Let me be your star. I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before, Forget what used to be. The past is on the cutting room floor, The future is here with me. Choose me! Fade up on a star With it all in her sights All the love and the lights That surround her. Someday she’ll think twice Of the dues and the price She’ll have to pay She’ll have to pay But not today But not today Then she’ll do all she can For the love of one man And for millions who look from afar. And what you’ve been needing Is all here and my heart’s bleeding. Let me be your star!
I miss this show! This was so much fun to watch and cool to have a musical series like this, sad it was cancelled but hey at least I can say I was alive for such a cool show as this!!
if it was on FOX it would have never been cancelled but they already had glee which was still a big hit during SMASH now for the last 2 seasons its been getting under 2 million viewers each week and still not cancelled yet its just gonna end because ryan murphy saids so lol FOX doesn't give a crap what ratings are if they make it to 2 or 3 seasons while NBC/ABC/CBS cancel first drop of ratings...
MediaLover194 Because they had a different person in charge and because they spent too damn much time on that stupid HIT LIST. If they'd have let the show alone and not tried to do so much it might not have been cancelled. They were trying to appeal to a younger audience and they forgot who their audience WAS - people who enjoy Broadway and people who enjoy good music and the cast and everything about it. I miss this show so much!
It's such a shame that shows as good as this one can't survive. Goes to show you the taste (or lack of taste) of the American public. They'd rather watch the Kardashians. Yech!
Not so much the Kardashians, rather they'd watch Glee and a bunch of spoiled, bratty auto toned teenagers, aside from Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele who had legitimate talent, bitching about their "struggles" to the top 40, rather than a group of actual talented artists putting their reputations, their mental health, and their livelihoods on the line to create a masterpiece
I just got into this show 2 days ago because I had nothing else to watch or do at the moment. . .let me just say that this is one of the best shows I have seen and I got immediately addcited. I am currently on the 8th episode and I ahve been glued to the TV ever since I saw the pilot--brilliant cast and I cannot wait till the 2nd half of the first season to air!!!
Ok I know this was six years ago but I completely agree!!! My dad thinks Karen is sooo much better which is astonishing to me because how can someone even possibly think that
Loved the finale!! When the director was zipping up Karen's giving her that lil speech then ends with, "And Karen you're wrong. I do know love." .... I shed one there gotta admit lol

End of October 2017. They did say they were going on Broadway with it and they said that was final, but it's been a couple of years and I haven't heard anything else. Everybody is spread far and wide now - just like Downton Abbey. They keep saying they're making a movie but they would have to send out a dragnet to get all the stars back.
i feel sorry for her . he's really atractive and her fell for him . She had a lot of trouble during the season . I want the best for her . Can't wait for the next season !!
I think we all are! I hope all we have to see of him next season is him getting charged for tampering with Rebecca's drink with intent to harm. That's some serious stuff.
Ok for those of you saying SMASH is better than Glee, get it through your head: Glee is a show about a show choir (glee club) at school! They cover songs just like a regular show choir!!
She's not talking about Marilyn she's talking about how in the finale when Karen was singing the last song it showed Ivy in the dressing room about to OD on pills. I don't think she dies though because Megan Hilty wouldn't be filming the second season if she did. #teamivy
I super love SMASH! Who doesn't? this show will forever remain in our hearts. ♥ Btw, Hoping you guys check out my own cover of "Let Me Be Your star" on my channel! :D

I don't understand why there's a competition between Katharine and Megan's characters.. there's no comparison. Katharine sings EVERYTHING like she's still on fucking American Idol, whereas Megan is legitimately Broadway. So sick of having to listen to Katharine MacPhee's voice because it's just sooo wrong.
What pissed me off about the finale, is how blatantly horrible Derek treats Ivy. Not two episodes ago, he said he loved her. Without commitment, but it still came out. Not to mention, they genuinely seemed to be in a real relationship, even after she had to leave the show because of her mistake in Heaven on Earth. And then he was seeing visions of Karen, zipping up her dress and whispering about love... No wonder Ivy's so damaged, people keep fucking her up left and right.
I was actually surprised that they just randomly showed him with a girl in bed, cause he was giving off gay vibes the entire time, not just when he was trying to seduce that producer guy!
this should be on Brodway this amazing score shouldn't go to waste
A Broadway musical is in the works actually based off of the musical from this show
Yesmine Duff So true
@@pandasluvmango21 whaaaat? WHAAAAT? SOURCE???
It's called Bombshell! :D
You’re in luck! It was just announced Smash is going to Broadway and this song will be in the show!
I get goose bumps, adore this music!

Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day
Norma Jean's gone,
She's moving on.
Her smile and your fantasies
Play a duet
That will make you forget
Where you are.
The music starts playing
It's the beat of her heart saying,
"Let me be your star."
Flash back to a girl
With a song in her heart
As she's waiting to start the adventure.
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive,
They fill her soul.
She's in control.
The drama, the laughter,
The tears just like pearls.
Well, they're all in this girl's repertoire.
It's all for the taking,
And it's magic we'll be making.
Let me be your star.
I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before,
Forget what used to be.
The past is on the cutting room floor,
The future is here with me.
Choose me!
Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights
All the love and the lights
That surround her.
Someday she’ll think twice
Of the dues and the price
She’ll have to pay
She’ll have to pay
But not today
But not today
Then she’ll do all she can
For the love of one man
And for millions who look from afar.
And what you’ve been needing
Is all here and my heart’s bleeding.
Let me be your star!
thanks
I Miss SMASH so much!! It was such a beautiful show!!! My fav song of the entire show!!!
Man, quite a few songs in this show were absolutely stellar. This is one of them for sure.
Luv this, and the finale was more than I could have hoped for. Can't wait for season two.
I miss this show! This was so much fun to watch and cool to have a musical series like this, sad it was cancelled but hey at least I can say I was alive for such a cool show as this!!

The writing of the second season just became bad for some reason.
MediaLover194 Because they had a different person in charge and because they spent too damn much time on that stupid HIT LIST. If they'd have let the show alone and not tried to do so much it might not have been cancelled. They were trying to appeal to a younger audience and they forgot who their audience WAS - people who enjoy Broadway and people who enjoy good music and the cast and everything about it.

I'm going to do this for an audition tomorrow!! Good luck @ me, aha
How'd you do?
It's such a shame that shows as good as this one can't survive. Goes to show you the taste (or lack of taste) of the American public. They'd rather watch the Kardashians. Yech!
Talented singers who find fans in all who hear them. Or the drama of rich people that honestly gets annoying... Yech is right
Ratings went low after season 2, and glee was still up there.
The second season was what done them in. It was terrible, but they still had great music. I agree that it should be a broadway musical
Not so much the Kardashians, rather they'd watch Glee and a bunch of spoiled, bratty auto toned teenagers, aside from Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele who had legitimate talent, bitching about their "struggles" to the top 40, rather than a group of actual talented artists putting their reputations, their mental health, and their livelihoods on the line to create a masterpiece
I would pay for Bombshell to be a musical
Megan Hilty is the only Marilyn we stan
glee is nowhere near smash's standard! LOVE THIS
i HAVE to hear this song at least once a month...its so good. :D
They have the two most amazing voices
I just got into this show 2 days ago because I had nothing else to watch or do at the moment. . .let me just say that this is one of the best shows I have seen and I got immediately addcited. I am currently on the 8th episode and I ahve been glued to the TV ever since I saw the pilot--brilliant cast and I cannot wait till the 2nd half of the first season to air!!!
A show as good as this was destined to be cancelled. It shows you where America's head is. All they want is tack reality shows and stupid sitcoms.
I meant "tacky."
Ivy was always my favorite. You can't look at her and listen to her and tell me she's not Marilyn reincarnated.
K. Feeds Ivy was always the Marilyn
Ok I know this was six years ago but I completely agree!!! My dad thinks Karen is sooo much better which is astonishing to me because how can someone even possibly think that
@@heidigrace1131 saaaaaaaame
I am in love with this show!!!!! Goshhh its un real!!
i miss this so much
Congrats on the Grammy nomination! This song is too good not to be one :)
I still miss this show.
Who could possibly dislike this?!?!
Pobably my favorite song from Smash... Can's wait till season 2!
i love both! you can't compare the two though.. two different shows, with different plots, with different music styles.
Loved the finale, it was brilliant!
Love this song and the programme!!!
How did this not win the Emmy for Best Original Song?! It should have.
I love this song
I liked the Original Glee and I still watch it, but this makes me so much happier.
Loved the finale!! When the director was zipping up Karen's giving her that lil speech then ends with, "And Karen you're wrong. I do know love." .... I shed one there gotta admit lol
love this!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Adooore this song
>smash
>star
*_S O M E_*
It's all here and my heart’s pleading. Let me be your star! lalala

Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day
Norma Jean's gone,
She's moving on.
Her smile and your fantasies
Play a duet
That will make you forget
Where you are.
The music starts playing
It's the beat of her heart saying,
"Let me be your star."
I wish they didn't cancel the show.. It was fantastic.
It never had a chance. It was too good for the imbeciles in this country.
I loved it
i agree completely! i love both tbh..
Awesome show!
love the show
I love Smash
loved Karen as Marilyn..loved the show!!!
love Smash
i'm going to start watching it
its the best!!!
i like smash because it has a lot of it's own songs unlike the songs i've heard of glee they're just copied from other song writers
I'm so psyched to get the Bombshell CD tomorrow!
I know!!! Soooooo good! I can't wait until this actually hits Broadway. No pun intended, but it will certainly be a 'smash'. :)
Gaaahhh! I love this song
This is brilliant! :D
Who is watching this in 2016?
lmao no one now happy 2017
June 2017
End of October 2017. They did say they were going on Broadway with it and they said that was final, but it's been a couple of years and I haven't heard anything else.

Listening to this in 2018
Loved the add before the video for a change LOL
fab
i feel sorry for her . he's really atractive and her fell for him . She had a lot of trouble during the season . I want the best for her . Can't wait for the next season !!
and what about people who watch both, eh?
*simon cowell listens to this*
simon: well, fuck.
me gustaa muchoo esta cancion wiiiiiiiii q fina es la serie de smash
I'm still I'll be Jeremy & Katharine's musical child (teen obvs) in like a sequal series.
I know!!! And I'm VERY interested to learn what happens to Ivy....it didn't seem that serious for her to go THAT far!!
😍👏SUBLIME,fantastico
One word: Damn
I'm so sad this is the last season.
Karen's voice is TOO beautiful ! I LOVE her !!!!
I think we all are! I hope all we have to see of him next season is him getting charged for tampering with Rebecca's drink with intent to harm. That's some serious stuff.
I cannot wait for Season 2!
marilyn monroe backdrop!ENDING made me BURST lol love
I wish there was a button I could press that would keep this on repeat until I told it to stop (which would be never)
Ok for those of you saying SMASH is better than Glee, get it through your head: Glee is a show about a show choir (glee club) at school! They cover songs just like a regular show choir!!
315catlopez True but after they graduated it wasn't about the show choir aspect anymore.
She's not talking about Marilyn she's talking about how in the finale when Karen was singing the last song it showed Ivy in the dressing room about to OD on pills. I don't think she dies though because Megan Hilty wouldn't be filming the second season if she did. #teamivy

This show is ten thousand squared times better than Glee.
Totally agree with you. It'd be different if Ivy was actually a genuinely nice person, which she isn't. It's all about karma.
They should share nights. Alternate :D
@charlie southern
we all understand how their voices and plot doesn't really make sense.
but this show is awesome, and after watching the show...karen deserves marilyn.
I'm so cool
ivy did not die! magen hilty is sighned up full time for season 2. we dont even know if she took the pills
Who is excited for Feburary 5th?
super série continuer ses trop bien mais il y a un défaut car ses le mercredi assez tare
my performing arts camp is doing this song and i really hope i can sing Karens part, we have so much in common..
That's... what she just said..

Smash is much better

i think she knew that:she was just try to make it dramatic, but hey you never know,she could just be stupid...
9 dislikes? THANKS ELLIS
there is goin' to be a 2nd season ?? is julia pregnant ??
I agree. I felt like Glee was just dumb and pointless. This is so much better.
hahaha
when GLEE is just not good enough for you.
:) #watchSMASH
People like me. Ignore the troll. Don't feed him.
it got cancelled...

for the first season, at least. lol.
I don't think we've seen the last of him, by the way, I hate him too.
I was actually surprised that they just randomly showed him with a girl in bed, cause he was giving off gay vibes the entire time, not just when he was trying to seduce that producer guy!
omg totally me too. so annoying
IVY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MARILYN!!!:(
