It's almost impossible to tell her live voice apart from the recording studio, that's how impeccable she was

@bryanpwo3085 2 года назад

Perhaps that's because her voice didn't need any tweaking. She genuinely could sing without any voice acrobatics to impress the audience which is a rare thing these days.

@stevenponte6655 2 года назад

@Thomas Cavanaugh yes. Also studios settings, being isolated from the music, may have felt a bit strange for those legends. Whereas on stage they were at home.

She was a neighbor and was such a nice woman as well as being one of the best vocalists of all time. Thanks for introducing her to others!

@jamesbond4633 Год назад

Interesting. Was she a neighbour while growing up and living with her parents or after she got famous and moved out? Although I think after she separated from her husband and was going through divorce she moved back home with her parents where she sadly passed. You were very lucky to meet her and talk to her. That would have been a wonderful experience and cherished memories and it is refreshing to know how nice she was. Fame does strange things to people sometimes.

The interesting thing about Karen Carpenter’s voice is that she sang extremely quietly and almost always needed a microphone to project it. She never pushed her voice, never yelled, which protected her instrument. Gorgeous vibrato.

@eggy1962 Год назад

yet so many criticised the way she used a mic, completely wrong imo

@victorjanusz7154 Год назад

Having seen them LIVE 3 times (including Hollywood Bowl, 1976) I can attest her voice was ALSO BIG! She had impeccable control, and you such a great advantage in the studio. “Rainy Days and Mondays” begins as a hushed whisper, and ends with a belting finale.

@cmdrvex 2 года назад

I think it's her clarity and resonance, espacially in her lower register that makes her voice unique. And as you mentioned, that extra touch of pushing forward at the start of some notes/words and then pulling back which presents such an emotive and dynamic story telling ability. Always brings a tear to my eye. I hope she lives on forever. A lovely tribute. Thank you!

@digiclectic807 Год назад

And to think she never had voice lessons. I believe Frank Pooler at Cal State Long Beach tried to coach her briefly but decided to go no further for fear of ruining perfection.

@michaelbarlow6610 9 месяцев назад

@@digiclectic807. Frank Pooler said he worked with Karen on the upper register of her voice, but wisely decided not to touch her famous lower register "with a 10-foot pole" because it was so beautifully natural!

@mikalmccoy530 Год назад

I love singers who sing effortlessly. Her vocal range is amazing. The way she transitions between the ranges is seamlessly. Her voice was a quiet storm of emotions, it's very powerful but not overwhelming. My favorite song is "Close to You" because that was the first song my voice teacher taught me in high school which I fell in love with. FYI...Luther Vandross made a remake of Superstar.

@lelb1972 2 года назад

Looking forward to this. To me Karen Carpenter had one of the most purest voices. She never fluctuated on notes and had a really low vocal range for a woman which you hear on many of The Carpenters tunes. Aside from the popular songs "Solitaire" is a personal favourite. Beautiful voice!

@toms5996 2 года назад

Totally agree. I have multiple favourites as their catalog of songs is so strong. It is so strange that now only a few big artists have melodic songs...

@ZakhadWOW 2 года назад

Superstar, Solitaire, Goodbye To Love, are basically the songs that evoke the most pathos for me, and I simply cannot resist (to save my life ven) singing along.. Her contralto works well with my baritone pitch.. I remember I had always felt such a powerful bond to her.. When she died I actually did go into a months long severe depression.

@mireillesavage4586 2 года назад

Their Christmas album is fabulous. Starting during the 70's, we have been listening to this album every time we decorate the Christmas tree. My son is keeping this tradition with his daughters. Love love this album. It's a classic for our family

@heidichristensen7919 2 года назад

@Lori0Tas 2 года назад

Everything I've read about her is that the mic loved her voice. That she actually was a very breathy singer, without amplification. She was a very small woman, all of 5'2", which made her deep tones even more remarkable. I grew up listening to, and playing, Carpenters music. Her death was indeed a tragedy, of monumental proportions. Our understanding of the immense toll taken on her and so many other women from standing in the spotlight, has taken decades to unfold. Vale Karen Carpenter, Superstar.

@sheila6186 2 года назад

Karen was 5' 4". Her brother, Richard, mentioned this many times.

@bruschmidt9943 2 года назад

I would say at times. In this performance she was singing out, pushing the lyrics with force. It wasn't all breathy softness. This was typical of how Karen sang earlier in their Career. We call it, "with an edge". From the mid 70's they "softened" her down, rounding off the 'edges' from her singing techniques. It was still beautiful, but not as dynamic & intriguing to me?

@ZakhadWOW 2 года назад

hmm as Stefani Germanotta (aka Lady Gaga) is also 5'2" there seems to be something about those tiny women and huge voices.

@SarastistheSerpent 2 года назад

Karen Carpenter is one of my favourite singers. For All We Know and Top of the World are especially great songs. Lower register voices like hers are very under-appreciated IMO

@gayyye 2 года назад

As someone who cannot belt and sing high notes, she is an inspiration for me to continue singing. I was very down at one point then I discovered their music and it changed my life. Karen's voice is out of this world and cannot be topped. I don't like comparing singers but if I have to choose only one voice to listen to, it'll be hers. And my favorite songs are 'Superstar', 'I Need To Be in Love' and 'I Just Fall in Love Again'.

@wholelottapurrring5392 2 года назад

Any singer who can sing the lyrics 'calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft' (feel free to correct accordingly) so effortlessly gets my vote. There is a purity and longing in her voice few if any have managed to replicate. Thank you for this video Georgina ❤ , take care xxxx

Hi Georgina, Karen has stolen millions of hearts 💞, welcome to the Club! It would be great if you would react to her "(Place to) Hideaway" video showing her performance. Such a lovely but less known song, I fell in love with it on first listen! Karen's magic is transcendent.

@LHSnLA 2 года назад

I loved watching this. Karen's voice is definitely one of the greatest ever- and I listen to her almost every day, usually at night before bed. I think you picked some of the best songs to highlight - though I also adore many others (Sing, Yesterday's Once More, I Believe You, I Need to Be In Love, etc.) Their greatest hits (1969-1981) is essential - but other collections such as "Lovelines" are also perfect. It would be really interesting if you did a reaction to her solo album - which should have been released when she was still alive! "If I Had You" could have been the first hit single. And some of the outtakes - such as "Something's Missing" - are so good too!

There are a number of great songs that the Carpenters recorded that are often overlooked.One that I love is from their..A kind of Hush album..called.."You".Her vocal range as a contralto shows her control of her voice.Also.."Ave Maria"..shows her gifted vocal range ability that not many can sing this version she did.

Really she was a drummer and singer, rather than the other way around. When you watch her drum she has so much joy, and she was one of the best too. I wish she'd been encouraged to do what made her happy. Her vocal tone is stunning but she was encouraged to stop drumming as it obscured the view of her. And yet she was one of the few who could do birth simultaneously! How cool is a drumming front woman?

Someone posted that her brother Richard wrote the piece at 19 years old based on the lyrics from a friend who wrote a letter to his then-girlfriend. It has to be one of the best ever written and recorded pieces of Christmas music.
