This girl, playing songs by her grandparents, takes us to unforgettable moments. It's incredible that a young woman can recreate such beautiful songs from 50 years ago. I have seen that many comments are from 70-year-old people...
I never thought that I could ever listen to anyone other than Karen Carpenter sing this, one of my favourite songs. I now know I was wrong. It brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness of the memories, loves, and losses of an old man. Such a beautiful rendition. Thank you.
This is so lovely Emily. You are amazingly versatile ! One week Pink Floyd the next its the Carpenters, what's next week Led Zeppelin ?? !! Thanks for that beautiful smile ! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
I loved the Carpenters and Karen had a very special talent. But you have made this song your own, brilliant version, You never cease to amaze. Thank you
Hey Emily, I´m an Audio Mastering Engineer. You did a great Carpenters song cover-version. Thank you very much! And you didn´t try to copy Karen´s style of singing 👍 You have a fine taste at music 🌹❤❤❤
Oh Emily! You've done such a wonderful job covering this beautiful song. If Karen were still here I think she would approve of your cover. I have always loved the clarity of your voice and your exceptionally beautiful lower register! This song really show it off. Great great job!!!
Karen has one of most beautiful voices there is.Well I played the Carpenters in one ear and Emily in the other ear. The Carpenters ending is a little longer, but all I really can say is wow.
Hello , Emily , this song is really very beautiful ! You have a voice really very very beautiful with the echo and you are amazing ! Thank you very much for your kindness with a big heart .🥰💖💖💖.
Emily, I am already 75 years old and every time I listen to Karen Carpenter's voice I think where all the beautiful music that used to be has gone, and here you are and you have returned us to those beautiful days when we could enjoy wonderful music... I really thank you.
Oh Emily you've done it again, as I've told you Karen Carpenter was and always has been my favourite singer - until you joined those 'Angels'. What an amazing tribute to Karen and Richard! Your piano work and vocals are impeccable, yet again you've made my day/week/ month etc! Thank you, you're my number 1! Just simply love it!🌟✴🌟✴🌠
Music can bring joy and happiness to many, and that is what happens when you start singing, because it sings in such a beautiful way that it always lights up my soul. What a beautiful song with your art of singing and piano 🎶🎶👍👍🎶🎶👍👍
This song is a very special song to me. This was my wife and I song when I met her in 1971. Now she is gone but you have brought back so many special memories. Emily Very well done and thank you so very much for making my day.
I love your own style of singing. This is a wonderful creation and your great voice, what a beautiful song you have chosen the song very well, and how well you handle your piano, a great cover with what a beautiful tone you sing this song WOW 👍👍🎶🎶👍👍
Mi amigo, she melts my heart with this one. She knows that she became my favorite singer and took Karen’s place after 50 years, and I have never questioned that decision. Every time she sings, it speaks directly to my heart.
This is beautiful. I love all the Carpenters songs, but this is my favourite. It reminds me of my eldest son who is 24 but never spoken a word due to his disability. ❤. I used to sing it to him when he was a baby.
Beautifully performed Emily. An iconic Carpenters song, great arrangement with the harmonies and piano accompaniment, also your very pure clear wonderfully toned voice. Well Done and Thank You 👏👏👏
EMILY's music brings joy to the day. The gentle melodies mix with the warmth of the day. A perfect experience, a performance by EMILY LINGE. Thank you for the cover and thank you to everyone involved. 💖💖💖💖💋💋💋💋🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I loved Karen Carpenter! Like Karen, this young lady has a very unique voice and this is a beautiful rendition of a song I didn’t think anyone could sing as well as the original! I applaud you!!
I have been writing for years that you should do a Carpenters song. Now you have I know I am right . Sounds great and that is where you sound best in that range. Wonderful job
Miss Emily. That has to be one of your best performances to date. You keep growing and perfecting your art. I've followed you since you were just a wee nipper and you never disapoint. Love your music ❤❤❤❤❤
You've done it again Emily! One of the hardest covers to do justice to Karen's distinctive voice with Richard's harmonies; but you've achieved it! I love the tone and clarity in your voice, which suits tracks like this really well.
Completely wonderful. I saw Karen in concert back in the day. This makes her smile ! Sometimes in life we're privileged to see a star born. Emily is one such a blessing.
Emily du bist eine grossartige Musikerin ,deine Stimme ,dein Pianospiel nicht zu vergessen Songs mit der Gitarre ,Karen waere sicher Stolz auf diese Interpretation
Wow... from Pink Floyd, Tears For Fear, Coldplay to The Carpenters !!! Only a Talented Star can do that !!! Thanks, Emily, for sharing your Musical Talents ⚘️💚⚘️♥️⚘️💙⚘️💜
I agree. At 2:44 when she sings Close to You, it sounds just as good as when I heard it decades ago. That part of the song I think is one the greatest parts of any song ever written. Sometimes, I just keep rewinding that part of the song. i could listen to that all day. You can't be sad hearing that kind of music.
Obrigado princesa nórdica por nos trazer tão bela canção....linda tua interpretação deste sucesso. Que Deus sempre te guie no caminho da vida e rumo ao sucesso. Um beijo deste teu fã do Brasil.🥰😍❤
Emily Hi! A sweet voice, adorns this beautiful song. His voice! I'm glad to remember a musical theme of so, brilliant group. But rejuvenated by you. Thanks xmil
I predict a rising new superstar here. Don’t change your fabulous unique way of interpreting each song you do. You have a unique persona, style and so much talent! Wonderful for your audience to see and hear you every time you perform!😊
Emily, what a wonderful rendering of this popular 70's Carpenters song. Plus, I liked your extra piano parts midway in. Hope Richard Carpenter gets to view this! 👍❤😍
Found your Channel a few days ago. I've been listening to your early work up to now. Young lady you have got IT. I'm hoping to hear much more from you on the biggest of stages in the future. It's obvious you have unlimited talent. God bless you and yours. Good luck always.
I met Karen Carpenter in college; she was a beautiful soul inside and out, but, oh, so fragile... except when she performed. Mercy, Emily, I've never heard anyone with a voice so similar to her; it hit me like a ton of bricks... Thank you... KDM
Emily, that was an excellent performance! When I closed my eyes, it sounds as if I’m listening to her sing that song. Yes, you are that good! Thank you for such a wonderful performance!
Oh my goodness; you do Karen and the Carpenters so beautifully; your voice is incredibly mellifluous and truly angelic. What a great idea to cover the Carpenters, especially Close to You. I envision the album with the Carpenters, Abba, and of course, a few Emily Linge originals. So eager for your albums!❤
Hi Emily, its Mick. That was beautiful. The Carpenter's music is so special and now you have made it even more special. It has been a while since you recorded Goodbye To Love, so this has come as a refreshing change. Love it. There have been a few fake Emily's on Facebook recently, but I and others are getting them shut down. There is only one Emily and we all love you for it. So thank you for Close To You. Take care Emily, kind regards, Mick. ❤❤❤
I hadn't seen Emily's version of Goodbye To Love but it has the same low register mellow tone as this one which I have only ever heard Karen do. Emily has something unique and beautiful.
Magnificent rendition of this pure gem by The Carpenters, with the late Karen who joined the realm of angels too soon. Bravo Emily, and thank you for this moment of purity. Musically, Phil
This song by the Carpenters is one of the first 45s I ever owned. It is very dear to me. You sang it beautifully. Your performance definitely brought out some emotions. Thank you. 💜
There is no one else like you, you are an amazing princess who sings from the heart and the soul is as beautiful as a flower in a garden that exists only in fairy tales every time when I hear you sing I get excited thank you very much for existing in our world
Emily , this particular song was discovered by me when I was at my lowest ebb in a care home and give me a lift. I think of you personally to have wonderful talent.👍🎸☮️
this song is so beautiful, especially you with such a magnificent and incredible voice and your voice is so sweet to hear that I am very happy and it makes me very happy to hear your wonderful and talented voice that you are, I love listening to everyone her covers,her voice she is so magnificent and so smooth and very sweet to listen to and leaves anyone enchanted to listen to her,i love listening to the songs and her cover they are all perfect i love listening to all of them❤❤❤
My first concert was the Carpenters in May 1973. Karen is a hard act to follow. Nice job on the bridge. Your keyboard skills are developing with every song.
Karen Carpenter had one of the best female voices ever. Kudos to you for doing such a great job yourself.
Yes, i agree. Karen Carpenter was fabulous and uniqe, what a voice!
This girl, playing songs by her grandparents, takes us to unforgettable moments. It's incredible that a young woman can recreate such beautiful songs from 50 years ago. I have seen that many comments are from 70-year-old people...
Add me to the list.
She's really something special for so many people like ourselves.
65 here and absolutely loving her performances ❤
I'm 71 and I'm still happy to hear this girl.
Thanks for honoring Karen with your beautiful rendition of this classic song!
Clean, pretty, delicate hands, angelic voice - she embodies the youth worth emulating worldwide. I love this girl. Keep on inspiring, young lady.
Emily, you are everything that made Karen Carpenter such a wonderful singer.
I couldn’t have said it any better William! You hit the nail directly on the head.

I think the angels got together when Emily was born....a great rendition.
Wonderful cover, the original singer had an amazing voice but a tragic life, your voice and piano is outstanding again Emily
Thank you!
I'm a Carpenter fan and your rendition brings justice to the song.
Emily’s mezzo voice is perfect 👍
I love the Carpenters, Outstanding Performance Emily. 👍❤️
Now, she needs to perform Superstar
"The angels got together..." -- and they're definitely listening to this!
Beautiful song excellent interpretation Emily well done thanks stay safe
I never thought that I could ever listen to anyone other than Karen Carpenter sing this, one of my favourite songs. I now know I was wrong. It brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness of the memories, loves, and losses of an old man. Such a beautiful rendition. Thank you.
Agreed! The best version of Karen Carpenter's best song!
This is so lovely Emily. You are amazingly versatile ! One week Pink Floyd the next its the Carpenters, what's next week Led Zeppelin ?? !! Thanks for that beautiful smile ! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Just a suggestion how about a Linda Ronstadt song? Maybe "Lose Again"
@@jackwalker1822My favorite song by Linda is her cover of "When Will I Be Loved?"
I loved the Carpenters and Karen had a very special talent. But you have made this song your own, brilliant version, You never cease to amaze. Thank you
Hey Emily, I´m an Audio Mastering Engineer. You did a great Carpenters song cover-version. Thank you very much! And you didn´t try to copy Karen´s style of singing 👍 You have a fine taste at music 🌹❤❤❤
I see know why Karen Carpenter fans compare Emily to her
The Carpenters. They are my favorite group of all time... well done.
Oh Emily! You've done such a wonderful job covering this beautiful song. If Karen were still here I think she would approve of your cover. I have always loved the clarity of your voice and your exceptionally beautiful lower register! This song really show it off. Great great job!!!
I have to agree, especially with your comment that Emily has an "exceptionally beautiful lower register ".
Her low range is pure silk and nearly supernatural. Her adult voice is going to sound like that of the angels in heaven.
Wonderful song choice 👌😊❤👍👍👍
Karen has one of most beautiful voices there is.Well I played the Carpenters in one ear and Emily in the other ear. The Carpenters ending is a little longer, but all I really can say is wow.

Karen Carpenter had one of the best soulful voices ever and Emily gets mighty close. Well done...
One of the loveliest melodies has found its match here, with one of the loveliest young singer out there. This was.. Dare I say... Lovely!
Glad you liked it!
I closed my eyes and thought I was listening to Karen.Tears running down my face.Thank You!
This is beautiful. I love all the Carpenters songs, but this is my favourite. It reminds me of my eldest son who is 24 but never spoken a word due to his disability. ❤. I used to sing it to him when he was a baby.

What a beautiful girl and what a beautiful voice. Excellent job.
Completely wonderful. I saw Karen in concert back in the day. This makes her smile ! Sometimes in life we're privileged to see a star born. Emily is one such a blessing.
John I know you are right about Emily!!!! Far too much talent NOT to become a singer!!!
Please dear Lord let her sing additional Carpenter music!!!
Emily is a future star in the making. She has a beautiful voice, reminds me of Joni Mitchell.
I love this song, and you sing and play it beautifully. I like the piano solo part 👌 and the harmony singing at the end 👌👌 Congratulations 👌👌👌
Em always writes her own solos, whether it’s her songs or not.😊
@@bradtaggart5509 Thank you, I noticed that before in some Beatles song covers and I loved it 😊👌
