I don’t know what to say? Can’t believe they are both gone. Olivia, as many others have stated, did a fabulous job of almost making it seem like Karen was there singing the song! RIP to two amazing women😢
Two great vocalists. Two different styles. This not a competition or an effort to imitate Karen. It's simply a tribute to Karen from a dear friend. Lovely.
@victorhugosilvaescalante8739 they had wanted to for years, but both were on such tight schedules it sadly never happened. And Karen was so young when she passed. So they just kinda suddenly (& shockingly) ran out of time to do it. One of the saddest things to me is seeing Olivia half run out of the church at the end of Karen's funeral and before the casket is put into the hearse. She was an honorary pallbearer for Karen. So, so sad for her to pass so young.
@@SayItAintSo4realI just saw another video of them both on Mike Douglas from 1981, and Karen was explaining how hard it was for them to even get together for a quick lunch, because of their busy schedules.
It's unfair to compare two singers who are good in their own right. They were friends and ONJ is just singing one of KC's songs in remembrance of her, not trying to sound like her.
You are EXACTLY right! If people hadn't kept doing that comparison crap and Keren's Mom would have showed Karen love, she would have had anorexia. That Epicac (off the market) is what killed her along with having no control of her own God-given life.
I've never heard anyone come close to Karen Carpenter's voice , I have to say Olivia Newton John does a beautiful rendition of Karen's song. Bravo! Olivia. 👍❤😊🎤
I love Olivia newton John. And even she. Can't even come close to that angelic voice of Karen Anne carpenter. Thank you for the tribute.. We love you Karen Anne 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I know what you mean. Sadly enough her Daughter Chloe battled Anorexia as well as Addiction. She got well but Karen didn't. Oh here's another fun fact Skeeter Davis's "The End Of The World" would later inspire "Hopelessly Devoted To You" for Grease. Kimberley Walsh of the UK Group Girls Aloud who are the most successful Group to come out of Reality TV did her version of "Rainy Days & Mondays" on a TV Special.
@@byronharkey9166 have you seen here on youtube. petula clark's tribute to karen, only days after karen had passed, with Petula singing "for all we know" in concert in London? watch the video.. it will (makes me at least!) make you bawl...
Olivia Newton-John, you've just made me cry with this beautiful tribute. It's a great thing that you got to be great friends with Karen our beloved angel.
Download Carla Williams the resemblance is amazing. Love and Prayers from Canada. If you get a chance to read Olivias book "Don't Stop Believin" it ys an awesome read 🇨🇦❤🙏🕊🌹
Yes, KD might be the only person I can think of that could do justice to some of Karen's classics. She recorded a version of the Joni Mitchell song "Help Me" which is really fantastic. But honestly, in my opinion, Karen's music should just be left alone, some things are so perfect that they shouldn't be messed with.
This video wasn't uploaded to create rivalry between two very successful and completely different singing talents. It's here, demonstrating Olivia Newton-John's appreciation for Karen Carpenter voice.
Karen is looking down from heaven smiling at your performance honoring her Liv. So touchingly beautiful. There are people God put in the world to beautify it , and Karen and Olivia are two of the absolute finest.
None can match her voice. In the 50 years since Karen came on the scene, not a single voice has even really come close to sounding so utterly crystal pure. Her instrument was simply one of a kind.
Nadie , pero nadie, podía haberse acercado tanto a la tacitura de la voz de Karen Carpentier, a mi juicio la voz más dulce del planeta, si señor, nadie cómo Karen, 🌹🌺🌷🌺🌹🌷
They both admired each other's talents....Olivia mentions and writes a bit about Karen in her biography....she even appeared on Olivia's HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS tv special...
I heard her sing in vegas and the hollywood bowl and the Ampitheater AND The long beach terrace theater which i enjoyed the most w their christmas songs in november 1978! Merry xmas darling in person!!! What a great evening! I met Karen at our dentist in Downey in oct 1976!! She was so nice to me!
The one word that comes to mind when speaking of Our Karen is "tone". Karen owned a tone that will never be matched. Godspeed for one of the purest voices to ever live.
If just have been so hard for Olivia to watch her daughter suffer anorexia after losing her friend Karen to the same dreadful disease. Thankfully her daughter recovered and got better.
Karen Carpenter was in a league of her own. Correction... IS in a league of her own. Karen crossed over in 1983 and it is now 2020 but so far I've yet to hear of another who's as brilliant of a singer as Karen Carpenter IS.
As a kid, I remember reading how Karen could record her singing in 1 take. That impressed me even to this day at age 62. I'll always remember her death as it happened in my Army AIT at Ft Eustis, Virginia. Her death was my biggest memory.
The best 2 pure female singers I've ever heard in my life. If heaven exists, and we truly go up with a singing angel on each arm, I pray mine are Karen & Olivia. Both voices just make my eyes fill when I hear them. RIP!!
Just beautiful. God bless her. May The Lord Jesus heal Olivia of cancer once again for His Glory so that all my see His Loving Power. What a wonderful tribute to Karen. Lovely Olivia, just lovely. †
"religion" may be or seem "toxic" but Jesus is Not. Believing in Him is not a "religion" but a relationship with God who created and loves us. The One who died for us with our sins and pain on his back. He "layed" in the ground for me and for you. It is your choice whether to read what I write or not. The choice is yours. However, I shall never stop sharing His Love with The world
@@Loki1982axala yes they sure are hilarious, they don't really think things through, they have zero common sense, God turns off the common sense part of their brain.
Olivia such a beautiful talented woman, who remembered another beautiful talented woman. Great job, love the song. Closed my eyes and saw Karen smiling down at you. God bless you and I pray that he defeats this cancer in you.
So sad Karen did not have the will to fight her disease while Olivia battled cancer and hopefully made it. Thanks for this tribute, I can see and hear Olivia is deeply moved.
I absolutely love Karen and Richard - their songs are my life and heart. Olivia's voice has great emotion and depth and i am broken that she too is gone. This was so beautiful xo #RIP I hope Richard Carpenter is keeping well - we love you.
I need to hear her SAY more, not sing more. Olivia is the only close friend who's consistently dissed participating in any books or documentaries on the Life of KAC. You know they approached her for her comments... got bupkis🤔 ..just odd.
Qué gran regalo. Escuchar una canción de la inolvidable Karen en la voz de otra grande, de otra inolvidable... Olivia. Saludos desde Cuernavaca, Mor. México.
My sweet Olivia, in an interview not too long ago she talked about Karen, she said that they were friends and she remembered how funny Karen actually was, and that it was a huge personal loss to her when Karen passed away, and of course, that she missed her. I hope they're reunited and leading the heavenly choir together 💕🌹🌹
roner61 Karen was simply the greatest female singer that ever lived . No-one comes close or can imitate her . In Olivia's defence , she was never trying 2 imitate her - just pay tribute 2 her . Olivia has a nice voice , but as you say Karen's was from another world . She only had 2 sing 2 notes and you knew it was her ; which defines the great singers . As you saw here , only Karen could ever own a Carpenters song ..
Remembering Karen Carpenter and Olivia Newton-John both two amazingly beautiful angels and talented angelic voices. BFF's May their souls Rest in peace 🕊️✌️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😇 FOREVER sending a love and peace to both of these angelic girls. BLESS THEIR SOULS IN Heaven Father God.
This makes me so sad that I was in tears before the end. What a beautiful tribute to Karen and so very special and sweet that Olivia included it in one of her concerts. Even after more than 40 years, it still kills me that Karen died so young. Thank you for sharing this. RIP Olivia and Karen.
💔 it hurts to hear Olivia talk about this especially reading it in her book and knowing how inconsolable she was. I can’t think of a purer human being.
You can’t compare them. They were 2 totally different unique acts. Karen’s voice did express an emotion that no one could touch. Olivia, back in her day had a beautiful voice too, but it was different.
Después de muchos años he vuelto a escuchar a una mujer excepcional. A Olivia Newton John . Su voz maravillosa , su melodía, su sonrisa, simpatía, y con elegancia recordando a otra inmensa intérprete como Karen Carpenter. Hoy , ya están las dos cantando juntas en el cielo. Dos estrellas ⭐️ ⭐️ nos iluminan. Olivia, que gran persona y artista. Buen viaje 🥰

Of course, Karen was from another world.
She is the only one ALLOWED to sing Karen Anne. She loved her. 💞🌹🌷💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹
Petula Clark can. They were besties as well.
@@markberryhill2715 true also
Rest and Peace Karen & Olivia 🙏🏻
They both have beautiful voices💕

You're exactly right, but everyone nowadays has to make everything a competition. Lol
Great tribute video.
@@chrisb8655 Totally agree Chris
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦😀
They were best friends. But both were so busy with their careers. ONJ Angel is with Angel Karen. R.I.P. 🙏😞😢❤

That's right
I never get tired of listening to either of these great ladies.
Beautiful women with amazing voices. Now they're both gone but their music will live forever
Absolutely beautiful Olivia. Karen would be proud.
Thank you Pam I think so too
I agree with you Pam
Karen might even want to sing a duet with Olivia on some of these songs.
I've never heard anyone come close to Karen Carpenter's voice , I have to say Olivia Newton John does a beautiful rendition of Karen's song. Bravo! Olivia. 👍❤😊🎤
Beautiful tribute, Olivia. Thank you....Please say hello to Karen from all of us. We miss you both.
Amen❤❤
Yes we miss them both.
Beautiful tribute to them both, @Sarasdad91. Thank you. And I have no doubts that they are back together again, singing in heaven.
Rest in Peace, Karen and Olivia ♥️🙏🏻
I am a huge Karen Carpenter fan and I also love Olivia too! This is so touching.
Rest in peace Olivia Newton-John and Karen Carpenter. Two great singers!
😥
I love Olivia newton John.
And even she.
Can't even come close to that angelic voice of Karen Anne carpenter.
Thank you for the tribute..
We love you Karen Anne
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
and even Olivia would admit that, no crime or shame in that, in that NO WOMAN could match karen's voice...
Two angels. Never to be repeated. 😢❤
can't believe olivia got thru the song without bawling... beautiful but so so sad....

she misses Karen and John Denver too

I can’t believe Olivia Newton John has been gone almost 2 years. She was part of my childhood.
Olivia Newton-John, you've just made me cry with this beautiful tribute. It's a great thing that you got to be great friends with Karen our beloved angel.
Olivia introduced Karen's songs to a new generation ❤⚘
@@cazpk6840 so did Agnetha from Abba. Check out her version of "The end of the world".
No other singer can duplicate that depth of feeling that Karen had.
I agree. Who could have done a better job? "Hopelessly devoted to you" vs "Close to you". Both were exceptional at emoting the depth of a song.

I would love to hear KD Lang cover some of this material.

Two talented and classy ladies who were great friends.
Best friends in life, reunited in heaven. Now, singing the most beautiful duets.
It OK to have tears in my eyes.my heart love karen so much
That was awesome from Olivia - so much warmth in her tone.

Absolutely right!

No se pueden comparar una soprano con una messosoprano, son dos tonos de voces diferentes que combinan muy bien si alguna vez hubieran cantado juntas.
Absolutely beautiful both were born with a beautiful voice that’s for sure ❤❤
Beautiful tribute to Karen x
Karen and Olivia have the most beautiful voices ever!! 2 of my all time favorites. Nobody can compare! Love them!!

Twenty years after Karen's passing and she is so missed, especially by her close friend, ONJ. A sincere tribute.
when one incredibly beautiful legendary voice pays homage to another incredibly beautiful legendary voice its hard to go wrong!
I heard her sing in vegas and the hollywood bowl and the Ampitheater AND The long beach terrace theater which i enjoyed the most w their christmas songs in november 1978! Merry xmas darling in person!!!
What a great evening!

Olivia and Karen are both so special Dusty Springfield also loved Karen
And now Burt Bacharach join them.
And Petula Clark was a good friend of Karen's, as well. She had such a natural, caring personality that could be everybody's best friend.
Very nice rendition, and Olivia does the song justice, in her tribute to her sister, Karen.
we love you Olivia and Karen for all time
What a lovely voice they had !! Big respect for both of them.

Very nice tribute from Olivia who is another one with a beautiful voice and is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside
poignant, awesome homage by one legend for another legend!
Nice rendition of Close to You. Karen is looking down and cheering on Olivia.
Oh Olivia your voice is just as heavenly as Karen's. We're very lucky we still have you to this day. Appreciate both you much🙏

She is not trying to imitate her.
Duas vozes mais lindas de todos os tempos. A doçura representada em sua forma mais perfeita.
