Hi Bob - Thanks for your thoughtful review and reaction to these talented gals! I am Jim, the organizer, audio/video guy, and vocalist/ pianist/clarinetist of Tori's video of 'We've Only Just Begun'. Her vocal ability is just sublime and effortless. She is Blessed with that natural sound - she's not imitating or trying to be something she's not. She's authentic and genuine. Thanks for seeing that yourself. Also, thank you for noticing the effort to create all of those backing tracks. We do it purely for the love of the music. So glad you enjoyed it, and again, thank you so much for your kind words! -Jimmy

Hi Jimmy. Thanks so much for the response! I absolutely LOVED Tori's version. There were definitely two sides to that...Tori and then you. Watching the video and seeing how much was involved in making this sound as well as it did was just incredible to see. So much respect your way. I've re-watched this video numerous time already. What you managed to pull of here was nothing short of amazing. Then to take your skills and throw in Tori's vocals, just wow! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to pull that all together. Like I said in the video, there was definitely a core memory unlocked when listening to it. Needless to say, I've already subscribed to your channel. Great job and hope to see more great things coming from your direction.

Correction. Richard Carpenter DID NOT ask Tori to sing for the Carpenters 55th Anniversary Celebration at the Downey United Methodist Church. Not sure where you got that information, but it is false. The Carpenters 55th Anniversary Celebration chose several Carpenters tributes to perform at the Downey United Methodist Church for a special acoustic concert on April 25. We were one of those acts - "Carpenters Legacy". We also performed our full show at the Downey Theatre the night before. Earlier that week, we had a special private meeting with Richard at his Yesterday Once More car collection warehouse which lasted over two hours. Videos from the meeting are on our RU-vid channel… ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0VIDrhyI2Y.htmlsi=4E-4GQW0rTizOg9V

Hi Bob, I laughed when Tori started singing. I thought for a moment your jaw was about to hit the floor, ha, ha. It happened to me the first timeI heard her sing a Carpenter's song. There is a video on RU-vid that overlays Tori's vocal over a Carpenter's old video, where it switches her vocal back and forth with Karen's---it's really eerie. If this cover here doesn't convince of the uncanny similarity in their voices, then the latter I'm pretty sure will.

Several people have already suggested listening to Ksenia Buzina from Leonid and Friends, doing Superstar. I’ll put it this way, her rendition of Superstar was so impressive, that Richard Carpenter invited her to his home for dinner with he and his wife. That’s the respect she got from Karen Carpenter’s brother. Leonid and Friends are currently on tour in the eastern part of the US.

I’m British. I’ve seen Harriet twice in concert. She’s a lovely lady with an uncanny, vocal resemblance to Karen. In her shows, for many years, she deliberately didn’t cover any Carpenters songs - instead she sang some of her own material and covers of others. Her’s is a great interpretation. I wish Richard would hook up with her when he tours the UK for a week in September 2024. 🤞🏻 It might happen. Chloe has a beautiful voice. Tori Holub is very, very good. In fact, it pains me to say it (being a Brit and routing for Harriet) but Tori has it locked.

These were really beautiful. I, like others, prefer Tori because of course I do! Harriet had a beautiful cover that was more her than Karen, but it was beautiful and gutsy because it invites comparison to the original. It has a different atmosphere, and I respect her effort to go for a slightly different mood. Obviously Tori is truly amazing, and she being so young has a bright future ahead of her. I love not just her performance, which takes me on a journey every time I listen, but also her love for the Carpenters music that is so evident and palpable. The last one, Chloe, has a lovely voice and definitely reminds one of the great Karen herself. It's interesting that some have commented on how she didn't look like she was enjoying herself. If you look at some of Karen's older foorage, you might say the same of her facial expressions. Of course, the difference is that Karen was ... well, Karen. There will probably never be another, but Tori has the best shot at it if anyone does.

Bob, that was a surprise to have three different artists covering the Carpenters. I told you you would love Tori. I am actually familiar with all three of them and each brings a little something different to the table. But for me, Tori brings everything. It doesn't sound like she is covering another artist. It is her voice naturally and it is stunning. And yes you are right, the production that Jim provides here is stellar. Tori actually sang all of her own harmonies and Jim put it all together. Notice also that there is no autotune or pitch correction. Tori does cover a few other artists currently and also has an original song. What confirms what I just said earlier is that you still hear some of the Karen Carpenter tone in her other songs, demonstrating how natural that is for her. Here is a link to her original song that has very much a carpenter's vibe in terms of style. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bQURbjijAbI.htmlsi=c99nsiDgzUWIdYLt And one thing not mentioned is that relative to the other singers today who are much older, she is only 20 years old. Thanks Bob for this very interesting presentation and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Peace out. By the way, you will see that Jim Wilkas himself actually responded below in the comments!

Ron, I thank you for recommending Tori to Bob. As a curious twist of fate, I have now discovered Modern Life for the 70s Mind by following Tori links. Bob’s immediate reactions (facial and verbal) were identical to mine and I’m sure many thousands of others (can’t say millions yet, but it won’t be long). Even when I sent a link to my 28 year old daughter her response was simply OMG! You are absolutely right that each of the artists had very strong plus points, but Tori has no negative elements. She just seems to produce this naturally and effortlessly.

Only my opinion-and please read all the way through before commenting. Harriet-she’s phenomenal. In other Karen covers her bass is silky smooth and her tone is spot on. For me, it’s the lack of layering and harmonies that is missing. She’s more “Karen” than “Carpenters”. Tori-ok, I think hands down this cover takes it. The ONLY thing I could be picky about is I think Karen carpenter sings with a smile in her voice (similar to Ella Fitzgerald) and there could be just a little more smile. But that’s REALLY picky. I was crying listening to her…and the backup spot on too. I really felt like I was listening to the Carpenters. Chloe-I liked her…I think she’s talented and I liked the layers. I think she might have made it more her own than the others. For me though, as talented as she is, I wanted to hear the original. Oh, and I wasn’t crazy about the chorus-it was too fast for me. All in all….great commentary and really enjoyed listening to Karen again. I’m 61 and grew up on the Carpenters, so the memories just flooded me in the best way. 💜

​​@@rlew49ers​@rlew49ers Yes she is a very special artist. And she is gradually getting known on social media. She will be performing at the Carpenter's tribute in Southern California the end of this month. She also has sent an audition tape to Richard Carpenter and I don't know where that is going but it's exciting. I think she does dabble just a bit with the drums but her main instruments are guitar and piano. She is an aspiring sound engineer and in several performances online, does her own layering of her harmonies. I think she is learning from Jim wilkas. I don't get the impression that she will be a drummer professionally🤔

I am a long time Carpenters fan from the early 70's ever since I first heard Karen sing Close To You. I have NEVER heard anyone that sounded exactly like Karen....she was too much her own special vocal sound. However, with that being said, I have heard many over the years, tribute artists and covers and they are all good in their own way. But when I heard Harriet, I literally got goose bumps. She never wanted to be a Karen copycat, but so many people wanted her to do Carpenter covers, she finally started doing more of them. She also does original songs. Her facial features seem to contribute to her sounding like Karen in so many ways. She doesn't TRY to, she just does. I don't think this song really conveys her voice as well as it should.Her Tik Tok covers are wonderful and I am a NEW fan of hers. Not saying others aren't good, but they just don't "do" anything for me. Nice comparisons.

Tori doesn’t sound as much like Karen Carpenter as Harriet does. In a way, Tori’s voice is too good to sound like Karen Carpenter. Harriet knows just where to put just the right amount of vocal fry like Karen did. I don’t think that Tori tries to do this, or not as much as Harriet does. Tori has a beautiful vibrato that she uses instead. That’s where Tori shines.

I’ve been listening to Tori Holub for few months now, and I enjoy listening to everything of hers. I was 14 when the Carpenters burst into our world, I loved the 70s with the Carpenters in it, shattered by our loss of Karen in 1983. When I first heard Tori singing a Carpenters song, I was in shock, and I still get chills. I want to cry to hear that Karen sound again, it miraculous. Find her Olivia Newton-John songs, wow! Tori is so talented she can do anything, and so young, she has a huge world ahead of her. That said, all three singers here were wonderful, I enjoyed them all, thank you for doing this for us!

I have listened to so many Carpenters songs, sung by Karen and by many other Trubute Artists. Some are very good, but don't quite catch Karen's pitch, tone, etc. as it is difficult to sound exactly like someone else. There are some very professional Tribute Shows being done where the Show is Great, The Costumes are Excellent, and you can compliment them all for doing a wonderful job. I could single out a few who sound close to Karen and look a lot like Karen, BUT I'm not going to mention everyone that is very good. I am simply going to say that TORI HOLUB absolutely nailed it! Nobody sounds as close to Karen Carpenter as Tori Holub, period. Again, my opinion. Prove me wrong. I don't think you can. When it comes to Impersonating Karen Carpenter, there are the others whom are very very good, and then there's TORI HOLUB with whom there is no comparison IMO.

Three wonderful tribute performances right here. Harriet right at home with her take on "Goodbye to Love", with that sensitive end section you noted Bob. Harriet actually sings this song in a key a semitone LOWER than Karen. The Carpenters performed this in B flat major, Harriet sings it in A major. [Woodwinds love the flats!] It has all been said about Tori Holub. I was also lost for words, but so much X factor in this performance. I loved it when we saw multiple Toris in the video when she was double tracking and more! Listening to her speak, you can tell that what we are hearing is natural range for her. Finally Chloe Foston was right up there. I would have liked to hear one of her slow ballads rather than "Only Yesterday", from the toe-tapping sing along repertoire. On the slow ballads she is most convincing. Slightly different pronunciations are fine by me, especially for someone born in Scotland. Note also that Chloe is a SOPRANO opera singer, who also has this low range she can use with her Carpenters tribute work. She is singer with the technical foundation to emulate other singers if she wishes. It seems like tribute acts are coming of age when it comes from the Carpenters, with modern technology very much there to help. My wish is that we would see a renaissance of Soft Rock, the mainly 70s era was over all too soon last time.

Hi Bob! I’m Joe a friend of Ron’s. I loved what you did here. I’ve heard most of the other Karen cover people. All are decent singers some are closer none are the entire package as Simon would say about Tori, IMHO. I’d use the word effortless and also natural. It’s her voice. She will add some “Karenisms” if you will to fill the sound. But it’s still Tori underneath it all. She learned to sing, play piano and guitar by ear. Some lessons on the guitar. Drums are in the works but not a strength by her own admission. But she’s shocked us before. We knew she could strum a guitar and sing a gentle song. Then she drops Crazy On You and is 4 members of ❤, including BOTH sisters. Sadly like so many of her videos it’s a short, though on Instagram it’s long enough to make you want more. She’s also a Carpenters super-fan. At 20! She used to have two videos on RU-vid of her massive Carpenters memorabilia collection. She sadly took them down, I hope she puts the newer one back up. In an interview she recently admitted that Richard knows what she’s doing and likes it. There’s more but she was coy and dodged any more info. I see you’ve been asked for more Tori and I encourage that! We can never have enough. I didn’t see her cover of Georgia On My Mind requested, which was produced by Chris May. Chris co-wrote Carpenters: The Musical Legacy. It’s a must have book BTW. I saw Olivia on your wall, Karen? BTW Tori has 5 short covers of ON-J songs. These show her upper range, Tori follows Livvy way the hell up there on Never Been Mellow! One last “comparison” Harriet slowed Goodbye To Love way down, that’s cheating! That song was a challenge to Karen. She had to sing 26 syllables with chromatics on one breath! Tori on her 2nd attempt of the cover did it! I’ll link that short below so you can see more talent! Her library is a rabbit hole of a sort. She has a few totally original songs too. She also does wicked covers of Joni, including her newest, Coyote on Instagram. Enjoy the ride!
