Oh, that's just your prejudice, which is fine and sweet that you love her so much. I would say that Julie Andrews and a singer you likely never heard of, Ofra Haza (listen to: Im Nin Alu and You've Got a Friend), have very clear voices... and many more. I think that Karen has a somewhat deep voice and that may have something to do with the appeal for you and why hear her voice as being so rich and clean... I'm not disagreeing with you on that at all, but there are other people with very clear voices. There were times when Whitney's voice rang like a well-crafted bell also. Donna Summer singing Someone Who Will Watch Over Me is very different from Karen's but it shows a different kind of magic that Karen didn't have. Another great voice - Dulce Pontes singing Cancao do Mar.

This is real singing by great singers. No constant pitch changes or warbling like strangled birds, no auto tune....... This IS SINGING as it should be. Love it ❤❤
Those ladies were natural singers, they didn,t force their voices, and scream at you/ Lol😊😊/ It,s ashamed how Karen wrestled with those demons of Vanity and anorexia. She was a beautiful soul all around/ Lol!😢😢😊
Do people understand that they can complement someone without bashing somebody else? These two women were amazing and don’t deserve to be used to be used as an excuse to insult the current generation.
SueRosalie we can agree to disagree without disrespecting other artists! It’s like apple and oranges, both are good in their own ways and enjoyed by different people
Back in the 70's Karen was described as the velvet voice. By then the humble Ella was for a long time a household name with unmatched fame in her league. Their talents together are a gift to us that goes beyond words and all generations.
I've watched this 3 times in 2 days. I'm 72, been a gigging musician since age 15. These two legends together, is supreme. Love is bouncing off the walls.

My God Ella's voice was priceless, golden, supreme, gifted, silk, flawless, incomparable, eternal, and world class!!!!!!!! She made it seem completely effortless, like child's play. Of course Karen was superb as well, first class. In a league untouchable... both of these ladies!
The amazing thing about Karen’s talent is that every song sounds like it was written for her. I never heard her sing anything that didn’t suit her. Her range & the clarity were astonishing. I wish she had had some inkling about how talented she was.
Note that at 3:27, barely audible, Ella says to Karen "so pretty"... amazing compliment from the best of one generation to the best of another generation... No autotuned needed for these two singers...

John Lennon once encountered Karen Carpenter in a restaurant and complimented her on her singing. KC reportedly told those she was with afterward, "he couldn't have meant that". I imagine KC arriving in Heaven in February 1983 and meeting Lennon again there (assuming Lennon "imagined" wrong, of course); Lennon looks at KC with an expression of mild reproof and says "I did mean it, you know, dear..."❤️
This is heavenly. Two of the best singers came together with their incredible voices . . . the stage isn’t filled with distracting dancers. Pure vocals from the best ❣️
How perfect Karen Carpenter sounded despite her serious illness in 1980, three years before she died! Her divine sound and heavenly appearance bring tears to my eyes.
I think the thing that strikes me the most is that there is no competition between them. Individually, their styles are quite different - Karen's has a pop-style while Ella is quintessentially jazz.

Don’t forget Julie Andrews. I’d argue that more people have heard her sing than any other female singer of the 20th century. Generations have seen Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music multiple times. All the Broadway performances all the TV specials, all the stuff with Carol Burnett, singing in various other movies, Grammy awards, Emmys, Oscars, Golden Globes she was part of everyone’s life for decades

"You sing beautiful", I guess.
I thought it was thank you beautiful
Oh my gosh! Both of them shear perfection. Their voices blended so gorgeously together. It's wonderful to see Karen so obviously happy to be singing with Ella. But how sad to know her days were numbered. Gone too soon. Rest easy, dear Karen.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,.,,
2 of the most beautiful voices ever!
Two excellent vocalists. Masterful.
I'm Daniel from 🇦🇷 Argentina, and I started to listen to them, when we lived in the UK 🇬🇧 {Barrow in furness /Cumbria} since 1975, She really had a lovely voice and talent
What a treasure!!! Two angelic voices singing together. Although Ella is a giant; karen is my favourite. Thank you very much❤❤❤
Two very special voices - Ella & Karen pure magic.
Not magic to me, when they are clearly lip synching.
Stumbled on this by pure accident...great way to end my UA-cam surfing for the night! Thanks for sharing two legends!
This is definitely the perfect way to end a UA-cam surfing session, because nothing else will compare. F-ing unreal how amazing this is.
Same!
Two musical angels allowing us to listen to their great voices, Wonderful!!
Two wonderful female singers! How beautiful is to listen to them singing these old songs together!
Two of the most unique voices in American music. Amazing.
Deux diamants bruts ! On se croirait au paradis !!! Tant c'est beau , juste et simplement merveilleux !!!
I absolutely love Karen Carpenter’s voice! It is a tragedy what happened to her. There were times I wished she is still alive.
Thank you so much! These two ladies wee my dad's favorite female vocalists. On this eve of Father's Day, I smile when I hear these songs. He passed away in 2011 but taught me to love music, especially jazz. God bless you.
Seu pai tinha ouvido de anjo!

Karen Carpenter will always be my favorite musical instrument.
Perfection.
Ella and Karen sang so effortlessly. Just beautifully raw talent on display.
Karen, Ella & Aretha... The quintessential female voices of 20th century - thanks so much for sharing Karen & Ella together
Quintessential...That's a Wonderful word.....
and lets add Whitney
Y Mercedes Sosa
Don’t forget Julie Andrews. I’d argue that more people have heard her sing than any other female singer of the 20th century. Generations have seen Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music multiple times. All the Broadway performances all the TV specials, all the stuff with Carol Burnett, singing in various other movies, Grammy awards, Emmys, Oscars, Golden Globes she was part of everyone’s life for decades
Connie Francis was voted the best female entertainer of the 20th century and sold the most records .
2 beautiful souls. The world was so different back then.
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS?!?!?!
Two of the most immaculate voices ever in all of recorded music
Karen' svoice is so smooth & Ella's sweet voice = pure relaxation❤❤❤
It was a great time to be alive. I remember them both so well. Nothing like them today.
Words have never been sung so beautiful by the wonderful Karen Carpenter.
