1. Problematic

   "Problematic" is the name of Five Star's very first single, released in October 1983. The song was performed on BBC TV's 'Pebble Mill At One' show, which brought the band to public attention. According to Five Star's father/manager, Buster Pearson, RCA records were on the phone offering the band a record contract before the end of their performance. Five Star were asked to perform "Problematic" on the show as that particular edition was focussing on unemployment, trying to find work, and the problems that come with it. The song was simply about a young girl leaving school, trying to find work. "Problematic" failed to chart in the UK. 7” Single: 1. Problematic 2. Big Funk 12” Single: 1. Problematic 2. Problematic 3. Big Funk The 12" single and a picture disc version of the 7" single were re-pressed by the Five Star Fan Club in 1989 and sold to members. The 7" and 12" versions of "Problematic" were released digitally on 18 July 2011.

Examples of PROBLEMATIC in a Sentence

1. John Gibbs:

   I think there's some problematic aspects with what's going on with the prosecutions, but I think, overwhelmingly, what I've heard is that the people that were there were peaceful and they were protesting peacefully. So I don't see President Trump in any way responsible for anything.

2. Tim Buckley:

It’s far more commercially viable than green hydrogen, but then there’s efficiency loss.
