As a music college professor and the music director of a very fine group myself, Debbie and all of the group put on a splendid no amazing concert! I absolutely loved it!
I came across this video while searching for something else. I'm so glad I did. I'm a former DJ in Canada and this is the best Carpenter's Tribute Band that I have ever seen and heard, They're outstanding.🎤🎤🎤🎤
@@garyt19651 I'm not underestimating anything. She is trying to recreate the sound of possibly one of the top 5 voices of all time. Those are extremely big shoes to fill. That being said , yes I think she's very good , but I would have to hear them live to give that A+ you've issued. From what I see on RU-vid, I'm not where you are .
I’ve watched a few of the other Carpenters tribute groups on YT. The vocalists are all very talented and skilled singers. But Debbie is the closest in timbre and phrasing. The band is a fine collection of musicians...top notch for sure. I’ll be in Southern Calif a week before there concert n September this year. I hope I can see this show....my wife is a huge fan as well! Keep up the great work!!!
Enjoyed the show last night in Vista. All the performers are great. Debbie Taylor brings back all the Carpenter memories. Thanks for keeping their music alive.
That was actually very good because its very difficult to sing like Karen Carpenter, she was one of a kind and even though the voice is very alike to Karen Carpenters the one thing noone can do is be like her in true soul and character singing. Very good though.
I am a massive " fan" of the Carpenters, and if this lady came on the radio singing some of these songs, I think I wouldn't be able to tell it's not Karen, unless I listened very closely and then there are some slight distinct differences. She is not as velvety as Karen , But other than that, what a voice
Saw the show tonight at mpac. I thought she was amazing. Even if she didn’t sound like Karen (which I thought she did) She still had an amazing voice. Beautiful tribute.
I've listened to all the Karen Carpenter tributes out there, and the difference is always the baritone notes. Yes, Tori Holub is the cutest & the most popular & has the best production, but her baritone notes aren't as good as others, and that's what a good KC vocal is all about. Debbie Taylor & Toni Lee do a slightly better job overall mainly by nailing the baritone notes, but Debbie is the best & it's a shame that she doesn't get the views the others do. Would like to hear her voice in the studio as it would really shine there with a Neumann mic & layered harmonies behind her.
Debbie is selling out decent sized venues all over America. She doesn't do "ok." She mimics KC note for note and millions have taken notice. I'm sorry you are not capable of hearing it.
Wow! How many Karen sound alike are you guys? Shane Ericks, Chloe, Toni Lee, Abigail Mendoza, Sally Olson, Jacqui Hamilton and You? But so far you are the closest, almost 99% or maybe 100% depending on the song you sang...
Well, thank you for thinking that! It is most definitely not but I'm flattered that you thought so. I'd love for you to catch our show. See our dates on our website www.topoftheworldcarpenterstribute.com. :)
Ok…..not close enough really. For a KC tribute it has to be perfect, and there are lots of little errors. Lots of work on the nuances could make it nearer the mark.
@@nighttunes I haven't heard her live in person but I've heard her singing live into a mix and Wings of Pegasus did a great analysis showing how it was absolutely not autotuned. She has an incredible natural vocal tone and ability.
My husband & I have seen this group 5 times!!! Love her!!! She is not Karen but so close. Wonderful show& always leave leave happy & singing!! We will go again this December!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, thank you guys for including me in this video. Awesome, with Caroline, John, Swedroe, Mikey, Ida....awesome video all around. For those people who doubt this voice, it is real, not lip syncing.
Wow! Pretty close! If I had to be really critical and nit picking. I'd say that the original karen carpenter had a slightly higher voice. But that is being very nit picky! If you have a very good pair of headphones and a decent amp / dac. Listen to the original recording productions from the cd or if possible a master recording of some sort maybe reel to reel and then compare it to this singer. A slight distinct difference. Being nit picky. But if you don't have a very good recording or listen to her on a only decent headphones and dac. Close your eyes and it's exact. Just like the missing karen carpenter. Would be close to the age of carole king right now. Actually Karen Carpenter woud be cosidered as the younger sister to carole king in age!
