Hi again Lyle! I know what you mean. I’ve been on this ride for 14 months and I just say, oh she sounds pretty good, I think. Have a listen. 😊 I gave up and just go with the flow. I get my thrills watching you guys and gals first freezing in shock, then just melting. I also think this one may be her best yet. To think in this day and age, and where the music industry is. Tori doesn’t use pitch correction, ever. I see in the comments people just dismiss her as “autotune” and go. All you have to do is actually listen, that’s a natural voice, nothing tinny or robotic. Fil of Wings Of Pegasus said it all “A Natural Voice! Finally!” Thanks again and I know more is coming, what it is I don’t know. I personally can’t wait. It’s like potato chips (crisps?) once you start, you want more. There’s still some older and still awesome stuff to go through while we wait. So as I take a little break, I wish you and yours the happiest of holidays! Joe
I wonder Joe, how much of a resurge of popularity has come about due to Tori's beautiful renditions of The Carpenter music ? I wish there was a way to find this out - well Sherlock Sanguinetti At Your Service may just uncover that information !!! 🙂
Tori surely is a one in a million talent, and it's almost impossible not to adore her. But we should stop comparing anyone with the GOATs. It's like saying, look here's a young sprinting superstar who's gonna be the next Usain Bolt. There'll never be a next Usain Bolt or a reincarnation of Karen Carpenter or something like that. We should just enjoy the presence of those incredibly talented new singers and leave the legends alone.
Good idea! Lyle, my friend Rick built the roof of SoFi Stadium here in Los Angeles. Others too. He retired on a high note and is on ocean cruises now. We met while he was living here at a Cars & Coffee. Became friends and then I found out why he was here. I was going to join him on the construction site then something happened in March of 2020 that stopped that from happening. Sigh. Joe
I went to compare to Karen and something about her vibrato is standing out to me. I don't know why I find it kinda annoying. Great overall job!! If only we did have Karen again..
I am a HUGE Carpenters fan since forever. I like her voice, nice cover, but I don't hear so much Karen. She has a beautiful voice, though. We compare too many women to Karen. I dislike Carpenters covers, since they are the BEST. I'd rather hear more of her own work.
Tori is great!! They did a nice job re-creating the original version. Kudos to talent.
So talented this girl! Hope she gets signed !
(Picks up lower jaw residing on the floor). I mean…wow.😮❤😭
Thanks, Lyle.
Such a beautiful voice. Excellent cover.
Wow thank you 🙏 ❤the song still this day # 1 hard to copy but she did good 👍👋☮️
Tori and James really capture the sound and essence of Karen and Richard.

You should make a video about the most expensive NFL stadiums
