I was so in love with Kim when I was young. Today I still love her. In another way offcourse, she reminds me of a great time. I remember one of her concerts in my neighbourhood when I was too sick to go...it was a real disaster for me. So sad, I cry a week long...
That was brilliant. Well done Kim, Ricky and Marty ! This song was a huge part of my early teenage years and I never looked back. Looking forward to the Greatest Hits Tour in Cardiff later this year !
jeden z prezenterow Polskiego Radia, Tomek Beksinski, nazwal kiedys Kim "sympatyczna blondynka" i faktycznie, wydaje sie mila i niepretensjonalna. Kim nie byla specjalnie popularna w Polsce we wczesnych latach 80-tych, ale na szczescie grali jej muzyke w radio i TV
First time I heard this song at age 15 in the mall, it absolutely blew me away! All I could think about the rest of the day was this song. There are a lot of songs of Kim’s that I love more now but I never got tired of Kids In America after all these years.
I've watched this documentary 100's of times & it's just brilliant, never get tired of watching it, just LOVE you Kim, can't wait for the new album to arrive later in the year, xx

Kim Wilde was very much a British take on Blondie. She was fortunate to have a loyal brother and father to guide her through the 80's pop machine and protect her from its predators. While Kim had a long and productive recording career in the UK, she was pegged as a one-hit-wonder in America. Ironic, considering her breakthough hit, which unfortunately mislead American fans into assuming she was likewise American. Had Kim been promoted as a part of the British New Wave, I think she would've had a better chance at cracking the American record market. Though in retrospect, Blondie was such a New Wave juggernaut it didn't leave much room for competition outside of all-girl groups like The Go-Go's, The Bangles, and Bananarama.
I loved 'Kids In America' right from the start and it's still one of my favorite tracks from Kim. Heard it first on Radio Luxembourg. I like the 94 Cappella Remix as well. I can't believe it wasn't even a minor hit. Early to mid 80s was the best period in Kim's career.

KIM LOOKS MUCH MORE YOUNGER THEN HER BROTHER AND SHE IS STILL ATTRACTIVE AND BEAUTIFY AND ALSO ALLERT AND I COULD IMAGINED WHAT HER CHILDREN LOOK LIKE AS ADULTS AND HER GRAND CHILDREN, AND AT TIMES I DO LISTEN TO YOUR SONGS KIM BECAUSE YOU GOT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND YOUR FABULOUS ASWELL.
I really enjoyed this, but I would have liked to have seen the other musicians get a mention, one thing I always loved about the debut album was the drumming and the guitar playing.
When this was released in '81 l was already 20 years old and wasn't really in the target audience, but l loved it the very first time l heard it and knew beyond a doubt that it was going to be a smash hit. Perfect piece of pop-craft, hat's off to Kim and her brother & Dad!
Not her best track in my view but it was memorable all the same and one of the synthpop anthems you cannot ignore. Marty and Ricky were a solid team of songwriters with a distinctive style, it's stunning how much Kim looks like her father.
Kim for ever. J'ai eu la chance de souhaiter à Kim son anniversaire, lors d'un concert dans la ville de Rouen, en France. En 84 ou 85. Ce souvenir est gravé en moi. Merci Kim pour tout ce que tu représente pour moi. Tu as été présente dans mes meilleures moments et tu m'as aidé dans les mauvais. Merci. Tu fais partie de moi.
This is not the true story of KIDS IN AMERICA...I MET KIM WILDE IN THE ENID RECORDING STUDIO..WHERE IT WAS DONE...THE SAME TIME I WAS DOING MY SONG WHITE LIGHT..I REMEMBER KIM WILDE WEARING A BLACK DRESS..THE MUSICIANS WERE THE ENID...THEY FELL OUT SOMETIME AFTER...THE POLITICS OF MUSIC... !!!
You're not the only one, I saw a user called Kyach Distent who agrees with you. I personally like Kids in America. It's not my favourite song of hers, but it would be among my favourites.
I was 18 when that song broke and I thought Kim Wilde was THE hottest thing on the planet. As a kid in America just about every band I loved was British back then. The Sex Pistols kicked open the door for that second British Invasion in America and the resulting music that poured out of the UK in the late 70's and 80's was phenomenal. To this day it's still my favorite music.

15 years old I bought the Kim Wilde / Kids In America Album. Just listened to it again in 2023. Thank God I never got rid of my LPs. Life is great.

No one is perfect... but she is as close as it gets...
This documentary is almost as good as First Time Out! I absolutely love it!
Never double take you sweetie you are and were unique with your touch to the music culture and inspired my boys
Great watch! Love Kim Wilde. Then and now!
VERY, VERY GOOD.KIM WILDE BEAUTIFUL.

Again, I simply cannot stop playing this documentary, just love it 💙
I used to hear this on now defunct alternative radio stations in Pittsburgh back in the 1980's.
"Luckily I had a good mouth for pouting..." Love her homour 😂 ✅ 💯
تبقى كيم اجمل فتاة رغم تقادم عمرها جمال طبيعي وانوثة فاتنه وفقها الله امين امين امين

Thank you so much for sharing this. I;m a fan since the very beginning, love her music, love her being so real all the time..
Enorme intérprete, excelente voz e cheia de Glamour que nos fez vibrar a mha juventude . Bem-haja. Saúde. Bjs ❤️🎶🎵
Great respect for her artistry!
Wonderful story! I discovered your song and (intrigued by the dynamic I sensed) I became a fan decades later, by way of a wonderful movie, "Clueless."
I really enjoyed this, but I would have liked to have seen the other musicians get a mention, one thing I always loved about the debut album was the drumming and the guitar playing.

👍🤩🤩🤩❤️
I lve watched this so many times! Such an insight into the recording of Kids I America, just fab, absolutely love this, more please 💙
I bought the single when it was in the Top 40. If it was in the AT40 from 80-81 I probably had it on 45's.
Wolę kiedy śpiewa, niż mówi. Wtedy tak nie słychać jej „pięknego” akcentu. 😉
..Kim Wilde is die wunderschönste Frau (damals wie auch heute)..,-die atemberaubenste Frau im musik business... love you Kim...
I fell in love with Kim when i was Teenager, and here I am now, nearly 60, still love her. 😃😃😃
She is GREAT❤Thank u for an amazing music x
Not her best track in my view but it was memorable all the same and one of the synthpop anthems you cannot ignore. Marty and Ricky were a solid team of songwriters with a distinctive style, it's stunning how much Kim looks like her father.
I loved Kim Wilde. But I also wonder how many people realized that she was wearing a Spetsnaz shirt in the video.
Great song ! Great job ! Thank you very much Mateusz !
Kim for ever.
