Loved your top 5 Carpenter songs. My Top 5 We've Only Just Begun Rainy Days and Mondays Close To You Yesterday Once More On Top of the World BTW, Bless the Beasts and the Children would definitely be in my top 10. I remember seeing that movie in elementary school or Jr High and the song almost made me cry. Not something cool to do in 6th or 7th grade, whichever it was.
So obviously hearfelt and sincere. Wonderful reaction. My go to word to describe Tori is "diamond". I may use it too much but in this case the shoe definitely fits.
Oh Tee, What a wonderful reaction and personalization of the experience. I have some of the same goosebumps and chills when I first heard this cover and continue to get them watching reactions. Your reactions are what I wait for. You will give me the chills. I know going in I’m gonna make you cry, usually. You knew it on this one, it has 💯% faith with Jim at the helm of being amazing. He said to me once, he had big shoes to fill after WOJB, his own. I think he surpassed himself. He has even bigger shoes to fill going forward. Now let’s talk about the ending long note before the final whahs. Yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuu. OMG Tori out did herself, right there. Many have said she has an endless vibrato, holy cow! Well, I successfully made you tear up again, I have big shoes to fill, too. ❤😊 Loved this so much! Joe Edit: forgot my Top 5 Rainy Days & Mondays The B/D Medley Superstar A Song For You Close To You That’s today’s thought. My list is fluid. Mood shifts som songs around.
@@TeeSpicerReactsunderstandable. It’s one hell of a long note. Stunning. Like Karen. BTW, Eduard did a mashup comparison of this CTY with the promo video CTY by Carpenters. His 4th video. I didn’t play it tonight, I’ll play it in an upcoming open live. I don’t think you’d want to react to it, it’s more for fun. Correct?
I love your love for the Carpenters. Tori is amazing. My top 5 Superstar Goodbye to love Rainy days and Mondays Yesterday once more We’ve only just begun But I can’t resist singing loudly to Jambalaya 😂
I don’t know if you know the significance of Jambalaya. It was the last drumming Hal Blaine did for Carpenters while Karen was alive. He came back to help Richard after her passing. It was the only song on Now & Then that Karen didn’t drum. Joe
Hi Tee, a top 5 list of the Carpenter's songs is difficult as they made so many great songs but I'll give it a try: 1) Rainy Days and Mondays 2) Superstar 3) Solitaire 4) Yesterday Once More 5) This Masquerade Of their lesser known songs, I love Eve and Crescent Noon
Here is why chose that as my #1 song: I played Clarinet (and Saxophone in my senior year) in marching band from 6th to 12th grade and when I graduated from High School I missed the pre-season (in August) marching band practice, so I drove down to the high school to watch the band practice and was feeling a little nostalgic. I had the car radio on playing in the background when Rainy Days and Mondays came on. This was the first time I had ever heard the Carpenters and I immediately fell in love with Karen's voice as this song fit my mood of the time perfectly. A funny coda to this story is that we played Close To You in band in my senior year but at the time I hadn't heard the Carpenters version of the song and associated it with Dionne Warwick who I had heard sing the song.
Great reaction Tee. I don't have a top 5 for The Carpenters. Just like with The Warning and Angelina Jordan, my favorite Carpenters song, is the last one I listened to.
I knew you'd like this one I heard this 2 days ago, one hour after it was uploaded. Stay tuned, I'll tell you when the next one comes up. Who knows, maybe Superstar will be next.
For All We Know it probably won’t be Superstar. Jim did drop a hint in the comments under CTY. For All We Know it will probably be something else. 😊 Joe
@@TeeSpicerReacts superstar is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and the emotions expressed by Karen ( and hopefully Tori) move me to tears.
@@TeeSpicerReactsWOW, that's quite the compliment Tee, congratulations. I have watched many, many Tori reactions and read lots of comments and never seen an offer like this. I'm jealous, LOL.
Hi Tee, too bad this wasn't your favorite Carpenter song. Otherwise we would have had a waterfall instead of a couple of trickles lol. I can't say I have a favorite because I love them all. And I certainly love everything that Tori and Jim do. Many have said this but with my eyes shut, I would not have known this was not the original. They are both magnificent as collaborators and of course Tori's voice knows no equal except for being close to Karen. Every performance just brings me back to my youth in the '70s when the Carpenters played constantly on the radio. My hope is that they continue to produce magnificent reincarnations like this, as well as other artists and originals as they choose. Wonderful reaction.
Loved your top 5 Carpenter songs.

What city do you live in Tee? Tori and I might have to visit,
Unless your plan on visiting the Caribbean, I doubt that, lol. I live on the island of Trinidad!🌶️🏝️

@@frankgarnevicus1187 had forgotten about "For all we know, that would be somewhere up there roo
@frankgarncvicus1187 Frank, according to a hint Jim dropped in reply to a comment under CTY. You may be elated at what’s in the works. Pat, too.😊

@@patsmith8035 see what I wrote to Frank… 😊
@@jbs256 am pleased, I love the collaborations that Tori does, both those with James and Dan Wesley, all so talented
