Makes a 60 year old Englishman cry every time I hear her velvet voice. She was an incredible drummer as well. A beautiful human being and so tragically taken way too soon. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
KAREN CARPENTER was A GREAT DRUMMER And KAREN and Richard CARPENTER WERE BROTHER and sister AND KAREN died from Anorixer nervosa AT the YOUNG AGE of 32 AND You SHOULD REACT to the Live music video OF THE SONG CALLED CLOSE TO YOU where Karen PLAYS the drums
You can see the difference in relation to her health & sinning we've only just begun she looked so healthy & whilst with Top of the World she started to feel the effects of Anorexia as she looked gaunt, but her courage to go on was amazing, hats of to Richards brilliant arrangements. Definitely the best female voice of all time!💛
The look on your face as you realize that you're hearing an absolute once-in-a-lifetime talent that will never be duplicated. Karen Carpenter is an absolute genius level talent and her voice, her vocals, her perfection in her vocals are incomparable. I'm so glad you enjoyed this clip. I also hope you walk away with a whole new appreciation for the Carpenters because their raw talent won't be replicated any time soon. 💛💛💛💛💛
💛💛 I'm so glad that you enjoyed watching my video and it was lovely to see your reaction to it. Of course, I have to agree that Karen had an amazing, unique voice... There's much more Carpenters stuff to enjoy on my channel, including rare interviews, live in concert and TV performances!💛💛
John Bettis, was part of a 3 piece jazz group with Karen and Richard, before they became The Carpenters. John also co-wrote this song with Richard, and 37 other of their hits. John was asked, "What did Karen sound like, when you first heard her sing?" His answer, "She sounded just like you hear her now. She was only 16 years old, and she already had the voice, without even working on it. She had that God-given voice, from the beginning."
Did You See Me LIGHT UP 😃✨ Oh My How I Enjoy The Sound Of Karens Voice .. It’s So Sweet , So Pure , Soo Perfect !! Thank You For Tuning Into Todays Reactions Jose , You Know I Appreciate Your Support 🙂
Every single time she just touches my heart.💛💛💛💛. They never made a bad song. The rabbit hole is deep. Never stop. I Can Dream Can't I, You're The One, Live concert videos are also incredible. Love you're sincere reactions and can tell Karen is touching your heart. She is one of a kind.
Miaaaa, thank you for your intelligent and sensitive analysis of the Carpenters. Many of the songs they performed have become classics. Karen's voice is truly otherworldly and unforgettable. Their music is timeless.
Their first hits which went to #1 were "We've only just begun" (probably played in more weddings than any song in the 70's) and "Close to You". Karen has a 3 octave contralto voice, and it is simply heavenly, smooth, and unmatched tone quality. Richard, her brother, harmonizes well with her and he composes/produces their songs. He is also an accomplished pianist and Karen is also a fine drummer, which she played drums for in most of the recordings. They had quite a few Top 40 hits during 70's and 80's. She is leading the Angel Choir, no doubt. RIP Karen.
I didn't realize how much I missed the beautiful voice of Karen Carpenter until your reactions on them! There isn't another woman who can "melt a heat " like Karen did. I know I'm not alone when I say how much I love and miss her, thank you Mia for another wonderful song and touching review! ❤
@@chrisalldis3375 I noticed the same thing, she performed courageously as the disease took over! There was little to no information about the disease back then to the average person and denial was all around her especially to Karen herself. A beautiful, talented young lady taken way to soon, she is still loved, admired and missed very much!
You're right.... I've never heard anybody even try to sing like her and her voice is in a place by itself. Good point....I'd never thought about it but that's exactly right .
Yes! And it's so awesome that they were best friends, too. Olivia was one of her bridesmaids at her wedding (not the maid of honor, word had it that Olivia wanted all the focus on Karen, so she was a regular bridesmaid). And later, sadly, an honorary pallbearer at Karen's funeral. That's how close they were. Olivia would travel to the suburb Downey where Karen had lived since 13 yrs old & hang out at the stores, shop, eat at the local restaurants and what not and everybody would leave them alone because everybody knew Karen. So they didn't deal with any Paparazzi or ppl wanting autographs and such. Some of the locals still have some sweet and funny stories to tell about Karen & Olivia. They both were truly class acts, and so wonderful to their fans. Truly loving, kind, and caring to their fans.
Karen was my first crush as a young kid. I thought she was really amazing. I guess I was just 6 or 7 years old when I heard her singing on the radio. It was the first time that I realized that music could change people's lives. It could help people. It was a lot different from what adults said when they just spoke to each other. Singing was totally different. You could say anything you needed to and everyone would accept it and embrace it. Now, I'm older and I understand that things are a bit more complicated than that. But, I still hold on to the idea that the feeling she gave me really meant something.
I WONT LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU, SUPERSTAR, HURTING EACH OTHER, are other great songs this fantastic duo. Karen and Richard left a catalog full of rich and thoughtful music that resonates with the soul. Whether it is about quiet moments in your life, private thoughts, or the haunting memories both good and bad. But it is music you really listen to. And that is something that can't be easily discounted. Enjoy.
The Carpenters created such gorgeous, lush music because Richard understood the emotional impact of major 7th chords delivered in a cascading full voice style. God rest Karen and bless Richard always!🙃😃😎😉🤪💛
Karen Carpenter had perhaps one of the greatest, if not THE greatest female pop vocalist ever. No tricks, no auto-tune and if you go on RUclips and listen her sing acapella, you’ll be floored. She was also a TERRIFIC jazz/rock drummer. She died centuries to early. 💔
Beautiful song and beautiful reaction. 2 songs in one , we have been spoilt .💛💛💛 . One of your comments said this was timeless , how right . Hope the RUclips world is treating you well ? Happy energy is showing in your videos 💛💛💛
Awe Paul 💛 I Love It , True Supporter !! Thank You For Tuning Into Todays Reaction 😅 I Really Enjoyed This One & Happy I Was Able To Share My Experience w Everyone ☺️ & Thats What I Said , DOUBLE WHAMMY 💛💛✨ The YT World Is Getting Better On My End , Im Adapting & Finally Feeling Extremely Comfortable In Front Of My Supporters . Thank You For All Your Love & Support Paul , I’ll Catch You In My Next Video 🙂
Loved that intro to "We've only Just Begun." It has Richard's genius written all over it!! He obviously did this after her death and it's a beautiful arrangement!
There was a Carpenters' tribute album called If I Were a Carpenter. Shonen Knife does a fantastic take on this song. It's on RUclips. Shonen Knife Top of the World MJ090116
Karen had such an amazing vocal range that as soon as you hear her voice you know who your listening to. It will soon be the holiday season and you really need to hear them perform Christmas songs.
That was a "FEVER PITCH" of a song. Karen has been considered one of the all time best Female voices. We miss her and always will R.I.P..❤❤❤❤❤...love you Mia....you go girl!❤❤
Within just a few notes you know that its Karen Carpenter and you know that you are hearing a voice that is just so special - how could one person possibly have so much talent - her beautiful voice and her talent as a drummer made her someone who truly was on Top of the World - she truly brought a smile to everyone who heard her magical voice
I grew up listening to the Carpenters. I was hooked right off. I still believe she has one of the best voices ever. If not the best. Her voice just makes you feel all of the emotions.i think like a lot of men and boys back then fell in love with her voice. She is so missed.
When folks listen and react to The Carpenters, they all consistently describe the music as wonderfully arranged and the voice of Karen as "Angelic," "Soothing," "Incredible" and "Wonderful." There are few performers who have, for decades, commanded such respect and admiration. It makes me very happy and satisfied to see new generations discover and appreciate The Carpenters as I have.
This is the song so many of us had played at our weddings in the 70's, 80's...... I was 16 when the Carpenters made it big..... I am now 60..... Everytime I hear this I cry. Oh by the way, I am still married to the guy I married in 1981. This May will be 42 years. To us "older folks", Karen Carpenter was the most beautiful. It is so sad that she died at 32. She and her brother Richard could have done so much more....
Karen Carpenter the greatest female singer of all time! Her voice is outstanding! Suggestion: "Karen Carpenter - Ella Fitzgerald", "Karen Carpenter - John Denver" Thanks Mia! For two amazing "The Carpenters" songs.🙂
It's wonderful to know that their music-magic did not die when she passed. With this recent phenomena of reactors on RUclips, you are bringing this treasure to a whole new generation. Thank you for noticing music from the past. We stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.😊
💛💛💛💛💛💛 A wonderfully sweet reaction, Mia. Karen melts my heart too all these years later. I was an OG fan from Close To You. Went back for Offering later. A bit of Carpenter trivia, the guy on the drums in WOJB is Cubby O’Brien. He’s visible in a lot of concert and TV show appearances. The trivia, he was an OG Mouseketeer and it was Cubby and Karen on that show as a team. Little did he know how a different and very special Karen was going to come into his life. Hal Blaine did most of the recording drums starting on Close To You. Karen did the Offering/Ticket To Ride album and some songs later on. The powers that be wanted Karen at the front of the stage and Hal was a master drummer. Karen still did drumming on a lot of concert appearances. Many are on RUclips and a joy to watch her go. Hal loved Karen’s drumming but he was needed for the studio work. I don’t know your history but if you haven’t reacted to the Bacharach/David Medley at Walter Reed Hospital, it is a joy to see a young Karen giving a masterclass in singing and drumming live.
My favorite vocalists in the early 70's.... Oh You should have watch """TOP OF THE WORLD ((Live at the White House Edition)) Such a sad ending to her life. But atleast we have he songs..""I NEED TO BE IN LOVE"" is another one of my favorites by her💛
Yes, as others have mentioned, Karen is an excellent drummer and considered herself a drummer who sang, not the other way around. To see her playing drums I recommend the "live concert" in Australia, 1972 "Bacharach Medley" segment. Or the "Carpenters Budokan, Japan, 1974, concert with the songs "Johnny B. Goode"( Rock & Roll drumming) or "Mr. Guder" (Jazz drumming). Enjoy! And yes, she is fabulous and truly in a league of her own. And thank you soooo much for your reaction to the wonderful Karen Carpenter, brother Richard, and the band. Blessings to you!
I pulled this one out earlier this year, maybe because I felt like it was so juxtaposed to what is going on right now. Everything feels so bad and negative in the world - and there was a time when people were optimistic. It made me cry to sing it. My parents were not the coolest when it came to their record collection - and I loved records and singing to them from the time I could put the needle on a record and hit play. So these were the first songs I sang to - and I sang ALL THE TIME. I mean, by the early 80s this music would be considered so uncool - but I love all kinds of music. In fact, even now, I have a few Carpenters albums I bought from the used bin at a local record store - I started to buy every album from my childhood when my husband got me a record player a few years ago. So when no one is home I put them on.. and it's like my guilty pleasure. Thank you for your reaction!!
I loved your reactions! 💛💛💛 please listen to This Masquerade.you'll be blown away by not just Karen's amazing vocal, but the entire arrangement. Richard not only played the piano but wrote the entire arrangement.
I love how elegant you are and how you wear yourself my dear. More please. And when you get the chance try lot of Fabian and David Phelps even if it is on your own personal time. They're most viewed videos. Until next time stay popping for fresh
Welcome to our world, you hv not yet even scratched the surface, we lived it we partied in it it we laughed,we cried we danced, we loved we hurt but we lived thru and experienced the most INCREDIBLE AND GREATEST ERA IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC THE 70S, CONTINUE TO ENJOY, TONS MORE AWAITS YOU
💛💛💛 Great reaction video Mia. I think Karen possessed the most beautiful female voice ever! She was an accomplished drummer as well as an extraordinary singer! If you haven't yet, listen to the song "Superstar" sung by Karen. You will be amazed. Such a tragedy to lose her at such a young age. Just breaks my heart to think about it.
When young people who only listen to hip hop get older and realize what’s been missing in music for 50 years…taking me back to my childhood…
Makes a 60 year old Englishman cry every time I hear her velvet voice. She was an incredible drummer as well. A beautiful human being and so tragically taken way too soon. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
KAREN CARPENTER was A GREAT DRUMMER And KAREN and Richard CARPENTER WERE BROTHER and sister AND KAREN died from Anorixer nervosa AT the YOUNG AGE of 32 AND You SHOULD REACT to the Live music video OF THE SONG CALLED CLOSE TO YOU where Karen PLAYS the drums

Her voice was like honey on silk. There where no spikes or chops in her syllables, not even in her k's C'sq's etc....
I heard this song when it first came out. Karen broke my heart. Dying from a horrible disease. Damn. That you keep her memory alive, thank you.
❤ Love the Carpenters!! Have their Christmas CD!!!!
I grew up listening to The Carpenters, and her voice still touches me in the feels as it did in my younger days. Beautiful!💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
So true when you hear her voice come on the radio you just stop.
Every time I hear this winter turns to summer, cold to warmth, dark to light.
So many couple in the 70's used this song for their first dance .... her voice is perfection
Your look tells me everything about what you think of the Carpenters. And it's all good.

Love rhe Carpenters......their songs were very peppy.....
Karen's voice is so hauntingly beautiful!
Carpenters Solitaire is a masterpiece!
I loved her as a kid and still do.
Richard Carpenter got the idea for the song from a bank commercial.
Best female vocalist ever
She left us way, way to early. But I'm thankful for the music she and her brother shared with us during her time on earth. So beautiful.
Seeing you looking so happy makes me happy!
The purest voice you will ever hear.🤩
Karen definitely has the most beautiful voice ever....I love both songs so much...have you done a reaction to Superstar?💛💛💛

Brother,sister duo! Love the carpenters
The best female singer of all time. “One take Karen” sounds the same live as she does on the studio albums. Her voice is like a warm hug!
this song was my 8th grade graduation song way back in 1979..... and the very concert I went to was the Carpenters....
Karen Carpenter the greatest female singer of all time! Her voice is outstanding!
Suggestion: "Karen Carpenter - Ella Fitzgerald", "Karen Carpenter - John Denver"
Thanks Mia! For two amazing "The Carpenters" songs.🙂
