Voice of an Angel, IMO, Karen had the best voice, ever. Just perfect.

I had the biggest childhood crush on Karen Carpenter when I was young. Her voice was just magic!

@@ClandOp Me too guys, I was 14 in 1970 lol. Maybe if she knew we did we could have saved her! Her absence still breaks my heart.

She had an angelic voice.

The smoothest, richest, clearest most angelic voice of all time, Karen was a phenomenon and a fabulous drummer too!

I saw the Carpenters in 1972. Karen sang and drummed at the same time for most of the show. She sang and drummed at a level few can achieve. She had 11 more years to live

She is my favorite female singer and I've heard so many as I'm now 70.

In 1972 I went to a live concert to hear if she could hit all the notes right on pitch. She did. Amazingly pure tone and so smooth!

She was known as “One-take Karen” because she was always pitch-perfect first time, every time!

I’m a Millennial and there used to be these late night CD compilation commercials on Nickelodeon and her music used to be all over them, so I’ve loved her since I was a child even though she’s generations my senior. She was amazing. She used to sing and her brother would write the songs, like Billie Eilesh and her brother.

Her voice is a treasure and drums were her passion. Amazing!

Literally the most perfect female voice. This song was originally called "Groupie" and it's about Eric Clapton. Written by Delaney & Bonnie.

Richards extreme talents were often overlooked due to Karen's beauty, ANGELIC voice, and superb drumming. His composing, arrangements, conducting and addition of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to this, made it a masterpiece. Love the sound of those French Horns! But I must admit, over 50 years later, and Karen's voice still cuts to my core. Encapsulates my whole being. Mind, body and soul. Still brings a tear to my eye. RIP KAREN! Enjoyed your reaction. Please check out "This Masquerade". Also written by the late, great Leon Russell. RIP LEON! Karen's drum solos are also definitely worth checking out!

One of the most beautiful natural voices ever. Great reaction.

Karen had such a pure, natural voice. When I hear her sing, it's like listening to an old friend.

Sadly, Karen left us way too soon. It's been said that she has been teaching the angels how to sing. She has the purest singing voice I have ever heard. No matter how many times I listen to her, I still get all teary-eyed. We are so fortunate that she left us her beautiful music.

Welcome back! She had an amazing voice! Could you react to The Carpenters's song Close To You?

she was also a killer drummer, too

Favorite female voice of all time!

Karen s voice sounded wonderful. She passed away so young and has been missed tremendously by all her fans. Your review s quite accurate. Her and her brother were a fantastic team together too btw. She s s left us her beautiful voice in the scores and scores of songs she s sung. Prbly the greatest female voice I ve ever heard and we were about the same age.

on the short list for The Saddest Song Ever!

Keep going with the #1 Karen Carpenter!!

Yes, most soothing and one of the best voices ever.😊😊😊

Like many teenagers in the 70's...I had several Carpenter Albums. We've Only Just Begun was sung at our wedding...like so many couples did back then. When she died after a long battle with ANOREXIA...their music died. Her Brother ended up writing songs I believe...since he had lost his sister, his singing partner and likely his best friend. Karen was only 32 when she died in 1983. Like many fans...I was heartbroken at the news.

You should listen to the last song.Karen carpenter ever recorded and sung. The name of that song is NOW.

Karen we miss you so much. I've always referred to you as "America's Queen of Hearts" Gone way to soon. Voice of a real Angel.

EVERYTHING other than Karen's voice was pure Richard Carpenter. A truly great composer and arranger!

You should see her play drums

Love Carpenters Please do SING and FOR ALL WE KNOE and HIDEAWAY !

A Song For You, I Know I Need To Be In Love, We’ve Only Just Begun

Karan and her brother were an absolutely amazing duo. He wrote most of the songs they recorded and played piano and sang backup harmonies as well. I'm 72 and it's great to see the younger folks appreciating the music of my youth.

Richard did the arrangements on their songs but the big hits weren't written by them. This song was written by the great Leon Russell. Close to you by Burt Bacharach/Hal David. We've only just begun and rainy days and Mondays by Paul Williams and Co writer I can't recall

Goodbye to Love, I know I need to be in Love, Top of the World, Solitaire, Mr. Postman, Yesterday Once More...

Karen Carpenter and Anne Wilson (from Heart) are my favourite female vocalists. And possibly Amy Lee from Evanescence too.

I love her dresses, her music, and her essence. And I love your reactions.

You ask on your thumbnail "Who is she". She just happened to be one of the greatest female singers the world has known yet there are alot of fine singers but Karen would top my list as there was no-one else like her with that amazing voice. Still very much missed but their music lives on.❤

I/ve heard that karen Carpenter had perfect pitch and NEVER took more than one take to record any song. Her untimely death was very sad.

Just pure talent way before auto tune

Wow, the Carpenters are so wholesome.

Great tunes from the Carpenters: Bless the Beasts and the Children, A Song for You (the one with the saxophone solo in the middle), Ticket to Ride, I Won't Last a Day Without You, Hurting Each Other.

Hi Princess, you are journeying down the Carpenters rabbit hole, beautifully. Her voice was like no other, now or since. That said I don’t think you’ve done We’ve Only Just Begun. That song really setup how well the harmonies were when done by Carpenters. So I recommend that song and the classic video with Karen sitting in the letter “U” in the YOU set. There is another. While not 100% Karen, Tori Holub is getting noticed (including by Richard Carpenter) as a voice of this generation who can sing songs of the 60’s - 80’s. She has the sound that does justice to those songs, especially Carpenters songs. In March she and her collaborator James Wilkas released on March 2nd (Karen’s birthday in heaven 🙏) their rendition of We’ve Only Just Begun. While no one can ever be Karen, also no one can ever be Tori. At 20 she was the youngest invited singer to the Carpenters 55th Anniversary Celebration in April. That should say something. I hope after listening to the Carpenters version, you do a comparison. On another note. It’s mostly unnecessary to block the video of Carpenters songs. There are many reactions up and running with open video. Also the one I’m linking is an independent and doesn’t need to be blocked either. It is also very important to see the video clearly as you will understand when you watch it. It it to this point the best cover of any Carpenters song ever. It needs to be seen. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy this treasure hunt. Joe kzread.info/dash/bejne/fG1pzsiDodKfhrw.htmlsi=wP61BvtKMoMuHerR .

this one is probably my favorite

@ItsPrincess- Yes, Karen Carpenter is one of the best singers ever and Superstar is a great song. Try there song ON Top of the world as your next Carptenter reaction. Its a fast paced song that I think you will enjoy.

THE best!!

Luther Vandross made this song popular to the American Black community who did not know anything about the Carpenters.

"Long ago and faraway, I fell in love with you..." Yes, we ALL did Karen....and always will love you, esp if we were baby boomers...you just broke poor damned heart when you went away. Dammit! You were the beauty of music amid all the senseless noise shoved down our throats on the radio.

Good luck on your exams. Keep it real. Galatians 5:22-23 “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. There is no law against these things!” ✌️✝️🇬🇧🇨🇦 Maybe reaction to Going to California. Led Zeppelin 🙏

😂😂 the thumbnail drew me in. Gotta admit. She got a great mouth. No, i dont mean Karen. 😂😅

You listened to most beautiful voice ever to sing a song!! Karens voice is the best ever and will never be equaled for sure, the crap you get fed today !! Wow!! Its so so sad!!!! Real music died so many years ago!! Just listen to all her songs you will be truly amazed!!!

Karen and Angelina Jordan are two of the best alto pop/jazz singers in history. And of course Amy Winehouse.

The 60s were the world's greatest rock and roll music you'll never see that again, and thanks for the Bible verse..

Please listen to close to you by Karen! Rj

need some goosebumps? Barbara Streisand. Somewhere

You gotta do “Rainy Days and Mondays” by Carpenters

Yes, thanks Princess for the Bible Verse!

Good reaction. Your mic is a little too loud. Other than that, it was awesome. Thx

If you want to hear an excellent different take on this classic, listen to Luther Vandross’ version, I think an excellent singer was inspired bye another excellent singer in Karen Carpenter.

The GOAT singers, female or male. Aka One-take Karen.

karen a drummer and singer brother and sister duo. Karen had he purest voice. she died from anorexia

You read a passage from the Bible and right afterwards an Angel sung to you.❤. Dear Karen rest in peace.

Pricess please react to Aldious Fragile they are an all Female Japanese metal band. Bur this is a powe ballad that you'll like.🎉

You mean healing voice

Karen Carpenter is of my top 5 favorite female singers. THIS MASQUERADE might be my favorite of the Carpenters. Proverbs 28:26 I Googled it and it was slightly different. Enough to seem the same and interpret differently. That's the problem with the Bible. We easily get conversations wrong,,, we misunderstand texts all the time YETTT we trust that some Englishman took some haggard 2000 year old scrolls in a ancient language no hath spaketh anymore? Now it's the Gospel Truth? Oh Well. We Live, We Learn (?) We Die , Another's Turn!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

Her parents favored their son openly. Sad story. She always felt less than….

Karen was a perfect alto. She ended up dying from anorexia due to public pressure and self perception of her weight and figure. Such a shame. BTW, don't let your microphone overshadow the music.....

Luther did a lovely cover of this song. Worth a listen.

She had a pleasant sounding voice that fit well with the AC format, but her expressive and stylistic range was too limited to be in the top echelon of pop singers. I'd say Rolling Stone was pretty close to the mark when she placed at #125 on their top singers poll.

Karen aka One take Karen

Your education should be most important for you. 🧐

I’m liking the Bible verses. Don’t avoid gospel quotes.

What's bothering me the most, is that black bag dangling over your head.
