Beautiful voice she sadly passed away at I believe 32 from anorexia Nervosa, I wish she knew she was perfect 💕🙏
Yes ... The long term effects ... she was on the road to gaining weight when she had a heart attack ... It's very hard on the body ....
Rest high on that mountain ❤
Yes, you are correct. So young, talented and beautiful. Gone way too soon. ❤
Just because someone said she was chubby 💔
@@melissapritchard4660 yep, people can be so mean 😢
This woman can bring tears listening to her. Karen also was a GREAT drummer.
You talking about DOMENIKA? 😛
She was a great drummer too
The thing about Karen, is that she made you feel the lyrics that she was singing, and she could touch your soul with her voice. She is considered the best female singer, by many, and that's from the last 40 years, when she left us, at age 32.
Thanks for posting.
Karen was the real deal. Beside the pop music dimension, her and her brother were virtuoso musicians, Karen drummer/percussionist and her brother an extraordinary keyboardist.
Not to mention Richard is a mozart-level genius musical composer and arranger.
@@nirmalsuki Indeed
Karen had the best voice of her era. Period.
A great voice that was hobbled by her material. Never challenged herself or strayed from her saccharine approach. But impeccable voice. A real talent.
that's just like... your opinion, man.
@@chuckleezodiac24 Isn't that what comment sections are for.
@@markmurphy558 nope. comment sections are for pompous unequivocal declarations uttered with Infallible Authority. period.
I'm a little surprised you've never heard of the Carpenters. They were a global success in the 70s. So many hits and fans around the world even still today.
One of Karens great ones. Her voice is timeless. Yes Delany and Bonnie had the original, co written by Leon Russell, but the Carpenters definitely had the huge hit with it.
Top 3 female singers of all time
Often sad when she sings, but always a big smile on her face when playing the drums which she was very good at. Seems like everyone uses the same three letter word when hearing Karens voice. WOW! Especially when hearing it for the first time. Richard and Karen were both very talented. They and their band mates blessed us with some wonderful and timeless music. Hope you do more! Thank you for the nice reaction.
TOMMY BOY "I can stand it if you can", whatever. At the end they're both sobbing 😭 PRICELESS!!!
The wonderful voice of Karen Carpenter. You will hear few, if any, better. Pure gold.
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!!
Thank you for your reaction. Please also react to their song, "We've Only Just Begun" - thank you. :) - There was actually sadness in her life. The song was about a 'Superstar' musician that came to town - and they had a time together. Well, since the guy was on tour - he had to go. Apparently, she really fell in love with the guy. The guy probably did not feel the same way - so it is a sad song. Karen's life though did have sadness. :(
@@Nighthawk-mc6zd Yes, I do agree with what you said. She was happy and even funny too, and displayed that.
The reason she died prematurely was due to the result of starving herself; and if you do the research, you will see why I said she had sadness in her life. Outwardly, a person might not pick up on that. One of the guys she dated mentioned that she had very low self esteem. In other words, she did not think of herself very highly. Again, just do some in depth research - and you might find out what I am talking about. Aside from that, she was and is my favorite; and she stands alone in that area for me.😊
Actually, the song is about a groupie that had a one night stand with the guitarist she had a crush on. He told her things knowing he was never going to see her again but she believed the sweet nothings that he said.
If you were driving home and arrived just when a Carpenters song came on the radio, you would sit in your car until the song finished. Then sigh, then climb out of the car.
The most perfect voice ever recorded
An absolutely ICONIC voice, such a loss at such a young age.
A beautiful singer/songwriter you should check out is Raye. Her song Ice Cream Man is haunting and emotional.
The Carpenters had a dozen huge Top Ten hits including 3 #1 Songs.Very popular from 1969 to 1975. Karen had a beautiful silky smooth as honey voice ❤❤❤
her voice is effortless. I have never heard another voice like hers where she just opens her mouth and notes fall out. Beautiful.
perfect pitch with a 3 octave contralto. Best voice of her time
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!
AND THE ANGEL SANG
This song is about a young (perhaps teenage) girl who fell in love with a singer she heard on the radio..."it's just the radio". For some reason, she took the lyrics of the song to heart and believed every word. Back then, it was an easy thing to do for both girls and boys. It amounted to having a "crush" on a performer, even though we all knew it would never amount to anything.
Oh my goodness… velvet smooth Karen. Such a great singer.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction video. Dominica hit the meaning of the song perfectly!!! It's about a girl who idolizes a rock star on the radio, a Superstar. She goes on to meet him at a concert and then 'she' falls in love with him. Karen Carpenter was an amazing vocalist ... and a drummer. Although she and her brother performed some 'cover' songs, Richard wrote some very good songs, too.
Karen had such a beautiful sadness in her voice. One of a kind!
That's what music does. It connects you to your past memories. I had a crush on Marilyn McCoo from the group, The 5th Dimension, when I was 15. So yeah, guys go through it too.
Great reaction! Karen could sing the phone book and I'd be just enthralled the whole time. Her voice is like satin - the smoothest, most effortless sounds you've ever heard! Regretfully gone WAY too soon! RIP.
What's also amazing is that, for as incredible a vocalist she is, she is an even better drummer! Honestly - check some earlier videos of her behind the kit, and you'll see another effortless talent!
Her brother, Richard, is a great pianist and composer. Talent abound in that family!!
Oh yeah, The Carpenters, brother and sister (Richard Lynn Carpenter and Karen Anne Carpenter). They signed contract with A&M Records on April 1969. 6 months later, they debut in their first studio album: Ticket To Ride. Sadly, Karen passed away on February 4, 1983 from heart failure due to complications of anorexia Nervosa. Hope this info could find helpful. If you need more info about the Carpenters, let me know.
Leon Russell/ Bonnie Bramlett composition,, iconic,,
Hello Andrei and Dominika another great reaction Karen had a beautiful voice , this song is about a woman who falls for a rock star, has a tryst with him, but then in a bout of delusion awaits his return, apparently falling for it when he said he loved her . Karen was a great singer like Judith Durham of the seekers they both had voices of angels best wishes stay safe and well keep up the great work and we will follow 💙
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!!
@@willarth9186 Do you copy & paste this comment everywhere you go, or are you just a bot?🤪🤣🤣
Karen had the voice of an angel in the natural and now in the heavens, current day. RIP K.C.
She puts everything into her songs. She feels the part when she sings her songs. Thats why she was one of the best. I was 9 years old when I 1st bought my 45 record that my mom said I could buy. And the Carpenters were my 1st favorites in music, atleast to buy a record. She died so young 32 years old. i was so sad!
I’ve listened to music reactions for two years. Your reactions are really the only ones that I take time to listen to.
You are two beautiful people. Keep it up, and thanks!
“A Song for You” (album version) is my favorite Carpenters song.
Greatest singer ever.
The guy with the long blonde hair is her brother & deserves all the plaudits for all of their musical creations!
My favorite Carpenters song by THEE GIRL who taught angels how to sing.
karen sang all their songs in a way it felt personal, she made you understand every word and feel it. One of a kind vocalist.
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!!
Haunting, but heartfelt. R.I.P. Karen Carpenter. Everybody has a musical her. Crazy in Love.
Aahhh❤❤❤❤ my childhood.. I knew every single song back in the day...😢rip Karen we miss you
Check out "This Masquerade" , It will be your Karen Carpenter favorite. : )
Sir Paul McCartney one called Karen "the greatest vocalist of the twentieth century". I tend to agree with him. Her voice was a godsend to all of us. I cried when she died and often still cry whenever I hear her voice.
This song written by the late great Leon Russell. He was a great performer, session man and writer. Highly accomplished and admired by his peers and fans alike.
Always, but always an enriching experience listening to them. Such a genuine loving couple. Entertaining too. And Andrea? I absolutely adore your wife Dominica. Really really special . Profound, warming nsights she has too. Brilliant
What a gift to the world she was!!! Amazing!! Gone to soon!!! Rip Karen
That voice.....words can't do it justice.....
There is a saying, If music be the food of love, play on. Unfortunately for Karen she needed real food and less of music. Great singer and tragic loss to the world and all who loved the Carpenters music.
Karen was one of a kind. There will never be another like her. She had such a pure calming voice. And she was a terrific drummer. That was her passion even more than singing. Sadly we lost her so young. Thankfully we have her legacy left in her music. The Carpenters had so many great songs such as "We've Only Just Begun", "Rainy Days & Mondays", "(They Long To Be) Close To You", "For All We Know", "Goodbye To Love", "Top Of The World", "Sing", "Yesterday Once More", "I Won't Last A Day Without You", "Please Mr. Postman", "Only Yesterday", "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over the World)", "I Need To Be In Love" & so many more.
This is a song about a groupie who fell in love with the artist. The chorus says it all. "You told me you loved me, baby, you said you would come back this way again baby"
You guys are great!and Dominika nailed it perfectly. She's singing about a young girl who is enamored with a musician!
In 1984, I fell in love with John Taylor of Duran Duran, and I haven't given up hope that one day he'll come for me. I've told my husband that he can't come with us :)
You should stop diminishing your husband. My ex-wife was into Hank Williams Jr. and she played to a phantasy, she has had 4 husbands and lives alone. I still love her.
my sweetheart till the end of time! Karen you are missed and still so loved R.I.P.
Please review more of the carpenters if you get a chance. Her voice is amazing and a great drummer. The one band my mum and I can agree on.
She was such a nice person. They did not have a lot of time compared to many groups. Karen always fought bulimia. You can see in some pictures. She is much too skinny. It finally killed her anorexia. People were very sad here when that happened. Everyone agreed. Karen had a beautiful voice. When Whitney Houston said you were a great singer……that’s a compliment.
Dominika, Joey Tempest (real name Rolf Larsson) was the one on the Europe poster you were kissing. Karen is one of the greatest vocalists and passed away far too young. Karen's vocals and drumming and Richard's keyboard playing, backing vocals and brilliant arranging were a magical combination. Like so many of the greats, their art is timeless.
Stopped by for the Music, but happily enjoyed, "THE DOMENIKA COMDEY HOUR."
A beautiful voice and a decent drummer. Thanks for this.
This voice needs no words she is perfection personified such a loss to music at such a young age her like will never be replicated ❤️❤️
Bless you
Karen Carpenter what can you say. The most majestic voice ever created and best female drummer ever. If you read about her she was very real, kind, gorgeous, Nobody ever like Karen. Carpenters tore up the music charts in the 70's. You will like "Goodbye To Love" the first ballad with a guitar solo, put in by her genius brother Richard. They were/are known around the world in their time.
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!
brilliant
Song Don’t cry for me Argentina with Karen Carpenter. Live Saludos
They had so many hits.
When the Carpenters heard the song it was 1970. Richard Carpenter watched Bette Midler perform the cover on The Tonight Show. The Carpenters cover of “Superstar” became the most famous version of the song. Yet, the duo had to change a certain lyric to fit their clean image. Richard Carpenter had switched “And I can hardly wait to sleep with you again” to “And I can hardly wait to be with you again”. Richard received a Grammy nomination for “Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist” due to his work on “Superstar.”
Karen Carpenter had nailed the first recording of “Superstar” in one take. Richard Carpenter had scribbled the lyrics on a napkin and she nailed it.
One of the greatest voices in music. If you love this song, then please check out "Yesterday Once More", "We've Only Just Begun", "I Won't Last a Day Without You" and "For All We Know".
I just literally got goosebumps on top of my head 😢
Sad and beautiful
Good job hit that one right out of the ballpark.
She is singing about some singer who she never met, bit sings love songs and she imagines that he is singing to her personally. And she makes up in her mind a fictional romance between her and him.
Dominica is exactly right. This song is about a young person falling in love with a song and the performer on the radio. You need to find a video of Karen singing and drumming. She was an excellent drummer.
Oh you two are so cute and fun to watch! Karen can throw many vibes, probably the melancholy vibe most powerful. For a flawless assortment, check out Yesterday Once More, Close to You, We've Only Just Begun, and Rainy Days and Mondays.
You're two delightful people. Hello from Canada.
I was in love with Duff McKagen also!!! 😂😂💖
I love Karen. Try we’ve Only Just Begun and Rainy Days and Mondays. Her voice is just perfect.
Joey Tempest is the name of the singer of Europe.
Yeah, you just heard "One-Take Karen", who's called that because she always did everything in 1 take. She was THAT good !!!
Fantastic, and personal...I love it! Thanks.... still requesting some music from The Alan Parson's Project
Love it 😍
Your analysis is pretty much spot on. I think the person in the song is in love with someone she hears on the radio. Great reaction
Perfection 🙌
You're a cute couple,thanks for your reaction. If you want more great Carpenters, please react to, I know I need to be in love, the live version 🤭 thanks
You gotta check out Leonid and friends cover. Very good!
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!!
Her character in this song DID meet the travelling musician, She didn't fall in love with him over the radio. Now she hears his song on the radio and tells the story of him promising to come back. The time they spent was more meaningful to her than him.
This song was originally called "Groupie" but the authors decided to change the name. It's about a girl who might have slept with a superstar and fell in love. Now she's waiting for him to come back to her. The original lyrics are a little racy but Karen's brother Richard changed them to fit their wholesomeness.
Surprised she's not playing the drums
Your conversation throughout this reaction was wonderful! Your wife is so accurate on this subject. I was in love with Jon BonJovi and just knew somehow we would end up together! 😅😊😂
This was a Delaney and Bonnie Bramlet song (originally called groupie). Of course Karen has made it her song now with her beautiful voice.
omg-I so get it. I had David Cassidy posters all over and I kissed him. Such an innocent perfect introduction to a young girls heart.
Karen had the voice of an angel. She passed away from anorexia way too young, before anyone really knew what it was. It was so sad. The Carpenters are definitely someone you should check out more. I love how silly you are today! God Bless!🐢🇺🇸
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!
Thanks guys, The Carpenters had many hits in the 70's. Rainy Days and Monday's and Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft is another one that can always do with a good reaction from nice people like yourselves.
what a riot, all your wife's lovers😀
Karen left us way too soon. What a beautiful voice, yet so haunting considering her short life.
The most beautiful voice. Gone way to soon. It's sad.
My 1st time visiting your channel.Thanx for doing some Carpenters.From what i've checked you are more rock/prog rock oriented(?) in your reaction activity so doing some Carpenters was a fine decision.
Karen ❤
❤👍🏻❤️
Should listen to The song Close to You "By the carpenters
IMHO, Karen had the best Female vocals Ever! I wish so badly that Aurora would do this cover of Superstar. I think she would knock it out of the park! RIP Karen, never forgotten!
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!
For most fans of the Carpenters, this or Rainy Days and Mondays are considered their best song. But they did have a long string of hits.
Thank you for reacting to The Carpenters,my lady Karen...please react to their song I HAVE YOU
Karen was incredible and for 40 years I thought I'd never hear that pure voice again but then I heard Tori Holub on UA-cam singing The Carpenters' hit Merry Christmas, Darling and you would swear that Karen has been reincarnated as a blonde!!
Rainy Days and Mondays is another great Carpenter song, worthy of a reaction.👍🙏
