Absolutely amazing! This needs to be taken worldwide. A Karen Carpenter show of this caliber would be a billion dollar venture. The extremely talented Leonoid, knows how to recruit talent, and Ksenia is a grand slam.
I knew Karen and I miss her everyday, she would be pleased. She was such a perfectionist, she recorded this in one take but wanted to do it again and Richard said no way.
Thnx for sharing....Ksenia creates magic with her voice....singing cover or her own music...She is simply fabulous! ❤🌹..Give so much credit to Leonid for his work in 'making music' and gathering such a fine group of professionals..individually awesome and collectively amazing performers!! 👍
I would love to hear the group do The Fifth Dimension’s “One Less Bell.” Ksenia would be great, as would the rest of the band. It’s a fabulous ballad, which they need a few more of in their live set. Ksenia is such a talent. She needs a few more feature songs, as they have only been giving her two with lead vocals. Danil gets a few too many perhaps. Ksenia draws a lot of people to this band and should be featured as much as her voice can handle.
I have a feeling that Ksenia will be doing more Carpenters’ hits in the future … they’re gonna find ways to showcase her voice … and the demographics of the band’s fans are perfect for Carpenters’ songs as they are of the same generation as Chicago’s … I should know as both “Top of the World” and “Just You and Me” were hits at the SAME time in 1973 when I was just a kiddo!!
banda espectacular con instrumentos increibles y con una voz perfecta con Ksenia , magnifica en TODO, simplemente perfecta en esta música de carpenters cuantos recuerdos!!!!
She sounds fantastic on this song! I know the original by heart (Carpenters), am a musician myself, and she honors this classic song while putting her own touch on it. I wouldn’t change a thing about this performance. Bravo Ksenia!
@@herbkornblau9340 The “original” of this particular arrangement/version of this song was by the Carpenters….that is what I am referring to here. The official recording (RUclips video) and live performances by Ksenia are pretty much an exact replica of that arrangement. Ksenia recently met with Richard Carpenter-he was quite impressed with her cover of Superstar. She is a fan of their music and, of course, Karen’s one-of-a-kind voice.
In a video comparing Ksenia and Karen as they sing the song in juxtapose, one could hear the distinct voice of Karen both on the high and the low notes. Karen is incomparable.
Fabulous...this is just one of the best performers of this song, and there will be countless other requests...Ksenia has the magic that we are so honored to listen to...Karen I'm sure is proud. ❤
ah, eu bem que notei aqui que algo errado estava acontecendo, a Ksenia teve que aumentar o som de retorno, ainda assim com Mastria ela se superou, I Love you Ksenia, Bravo Belíssima
First, let me say I love Ksenia’s singing. She is very talented. But she performed this song exactly the same way in Eugene on Nov. 1, and it was a sadly a miss then as it was on this night in Visalia. She has no control over her vibrato on it, which takes away all the warmth in her voice. She knows this. Look at her reaction immediately after the song, shaking her head. But she graciously accepts the applause because she is a professional. Then she goes on to crush Ain’t Nobody, the next song (wish that were included here!), a much more difficult one to sing, and her vibrato is fine again. In Eugene, I spoke with her afterward and complimented her on her songs. She volunteered that she gets emotional on Superstar, but didn’t say why. I didn’t press her, I could tell she wanted to keep it private. Whatever it is, it is deep enough to cause her to lose the fine control of her diaphragm and vibrato. I feel really sad for her. Leonid needs to pull the song and replace it, but there is probably no time to rehearse another. Their schedule is packed and the tour is nearly over now. While I appreciate those of you who are sticking up for her-which she greatly deserves-it is also important to recognize that she is hurting while performing this particular song, which Leonid chose to originally release on Ksenia’s recent September birthday. She is a trooper for continuing to perform it, but sadly it is not her best work because of the emotional toll it is taking. Just compare it to her recorded version, on which she somehow did much better. We love you Ksenia. Blessings to you for whatever it is about this song that is hurting you. It only makes us love you more.
My pleasure to share what I saw and heard. I hope Ksenia can overcome whatever causes such an emotional response, but without losing the emotion a song like this requires of her to move the audience. It’s a fine line.
What are you babbling on about? She sounded just fine and is not shaking her head out of disappointment. If she "lost control" over her diaphragm she would not be singing on pitch. She does not have a very pronounced vibrator (thank goodness) to begin with.
Maybe Ksenia lost someone very special and this song is a trigger. I lost my wife a year ago this past June and this song is a trigger for me. Just a thought.
She is off in this one. Sounds no where near the video i watched earlier in the studio. The band doesn't sound as good either. Must be a bad night. Still dig them though
Yes agreed. She only had one stumble the week before when I saw this in Campbell. They only song of the whole show I got on video. Went back and watched it...and it was much crisper. (Audio that is)
Ksenia had problems on this song in Eugene also. Almost no vibrato, just like here, and very unlike her video of this song. I spoke with her afterward in Eugene and she volunteered that she gets very emotional about this song when she performs it. She didn’t say why, but that was also my impression as I watched it live from a seat very close to the stage. Leonid needs to give her a different ballad instead of this one. She is too close to whatever it is, which is not good for her unless she can get past that somehow. She clearly wants to do better for the audience the band and expects more of herself. She performed Ain’t Nobody immediately after Superstar and just crushed it, with great vibrato. Fabulous!
@@HQBergeron Sometimes a song can be a trigger for something that may have happened in someone's past. Maybe this was the case with Ksenia. Sometimes we forget that performers are just as human as we listeners are and they have feelings and experiences just like we do.
You can't criticise Ksenia. There was only one Karen Carpenter. Nobody will ever sound like that again. However watching this beautiful, talented woman is pure joy.
Why why why do singers feel the need to draw out the notes when they sing live? The original by Karen wasn't like that. Your recent video of the song wasn't like that either. Drawing it out spoils the whole flow of the song. Please sing it straight...

❤️ Ksenia IS a SUPERSTAR 🎶
Though Russian, Ksenia Buzina is promoting American songs, and culture. American managers should support this wonderful and beautiful singer.
I knew Karen and I miss her everyday, she would be pleased. She was such a perfectionist, she recorded this in one take but wanted to do it again and Richard said no way.
She was a wonderful singer n she brought me a lot of happiness as I grew up! Loved singing along with her songs on the radio❤
There is ONLY ONE Karen Carpenter.
She has a really nice voice, but this particular song is one where Karen Carpenter's lower register really shines, and no one can duplicate that.
Love love this group. She has such a beautiful voice and when they sing Chicago songs they are awesome.
Leonid transcribed all the Chicago music by ear for every instrument! It was back during the cold war. He then put the band together to play it.
Thnx for sharing....Ksenia creates magic with her voice....singing cover or her own music...She is simply fabulous! ❤🌹..Give so much credit to Leonid for his work in 'making music' and gathering such a fine group of professionals..individually awesome and collectively amazing performers!! 👍
Couldn't agree more!
Ksenia is simply amazing.
I’ve heard no one come close to Karen’s unique voice.
She is beautiful and a great singer Miss Buzina
Wonderful Ksenia ❤102❤
Let's give the backing band some love too.
I fell in love with L&F while living in Italy during 2014-2018, and saw them twice in Dallas after returning to Texas. They are simply amazing!!!
Absolutely wonderful!!!!

Great singer
Karen would be proud of this performance! ❤️ it!
Ksenia bravo!!
This still brings tears to my eyes
Very beautiful performance,,,,

Utterly beautiful
Beautiful! You have a lovely voice, well done by the entire group.
Ksenia is great singer!
Superb, so many good vocalists Leonid!
Beautiful Voice!
Love to hear a studio version of this...she is truly the best on the planet
They did. They released back at the end of September. Even better with full orchestra arrangement. It's on RUclips
banda espectacular con instrumentos increibles y con una voz perfecta con Ksenia , magnifica en TODO, simplemente perfecta en esta música de carpenters cuantos recuerdos!!!!
Bien x tu mensaje en Español de esta gran banda y Ksenia
Great show. Ksenia was incredible.
Yes she is.
@@RafananClan where was the concert?
Fox Theater Visalia, CA. It's in the description.
She sounds fantastic on this song! I know the original by heart (Carpenters), am a musician myself, and she honors this classic song while putting her own touch on it. I wouldn’t change a thing about this performance. Bravo Ksenia!
The original was by Leon Russell, who wrote it

Saw 2 times and met❤❤❤❤❤
Just saw them tonight. Er.. last night. She nailed it.
Pretty good sound.
American managers should support this great singer Ksenia Buzina. She's Russian but is promoting American songs, and culture.
I’m pretty sure Karen would love people singing her songs,all artists I think are like that .
I would agree.
When are you coming to the UK?

Ладно-ладно, я все слышу)
Хорошо! Но можно мягче.Тембр резковат и излишнее акцентирование( форсирование) голосом.
There is no substitute for Karen. None!!

Excellent Rendition.
It's not good...... No soul.... The voice has no emotion....

Otherwise they would wind up speaking the song, much like old rockers like Elton John does now.
Ксю, агонь!
Karen es mucho mejor la otra la imita
