I’m 57 years old and grew up listening to the carpenters with my dad in his library. The first time I heard you sing i cried it was so good. And when you smile it makes me smile too! Your wonderful.
I couldn't believe this young lady's singing and how much her voice sounds like Karen Carpenters. So I had to investigate. So I visited her YT page and with my own ears heard that this young lady is no imposter. She can sing! So I can supportively say that this young lady can sing! Awesome, incredible, outstanding take on this song Shane! And all your other covers are so beautiful and well delivered. You are truly blessed with a magical voice. You take good care! I'll be looking to hear from you day on. Your friend Albert.
My goodness, you've got such a hell of a voice, such a vibrato . Please, don't quit singing, sing on, make your own songs, compose and you'll ne known.
Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me, they long to be Close to you Wa, close to you Wa, close to you Ha, close to you La, close to you
Wow what a lovely voice.She should have a recording contract from a record company.She is also very beautiful.Just like her voice.Now this is great music from my youth.
You, beautiful young lady, have been given Karen Carpenter's voice as a gift from, God! Being one of Karen's biggest fans I would have never dreamed I would hear her voice LIVE again. I have just heard her come alive once again'...through you. What a wonderful gift you have been given.
@@mortgagefinancing5558 well said, those people who invoke god into the equation are in reality taking away her talent from her and hard work and tenacity. And, I always love the way that this god, or that god, there are so many, never receive a rebuke for causing cancer or not stopping wars or disease, or extremists, nor did this god tell his followers that the Earth didn't occupy this center of the solar system or universe etc etc, to stop them looking stupid. Yes, her voice is beautiful but let's not take anything away from her and assign it to a fantasy. Oh yes, this god thing failed to save Karen, if responsible for the good it should also take the 'credit' for the shit in the world.
@@PeteEvangelista Hi Pete. I was extremely lucky, I don't know about you? I wasn't born in a Muslin Theocracy nor a part of the world where Christianity was the dominant social force, as perhaps it is in the Bible belt of the USA. And, perhaps more importantly my parents where not Theists, or at least I didn't notice. In school I particularly enjoyed science and mathematics, indeed all lessons. However, the god lessons stood out as being not based in reality at all. But, what is clear is that some people are hooked. In school, we had assembly every day, which included prayer and hymn singing, and religious education, with the occasional trip to church and exceptionally, Sunday school. My rejection of the concept that there was a god came to me early. Probably some teacher said it was god who created the Universe and someone, could have been me, asked, who created god then? That was enough for me, no sensible reply was forthcoming. This god belief is not confined to individuals. If it was then the state wouldn't have been holding school god lessons, or even nativity plays. This religious indoctrination, that used to be intensely state sponsored, is not so now, was harmful both for the individual and society more generally. Those people like the guy leading this thread, bring god into their everyday lives and ours. Often they do it because they believe in a "loving god" that fills his believers full of fear and angst. But, it also is somewhat missionary The cult of Jesus, if he existed at all, there's a lot of lack of evidence he probably didn't, essentially created hell, the Jews do not believe in it, so it's a loving Jesus creation. This Jesus also told his followers, according to the bible, that places in heaven are limited. Therefore, this belief system that applies to Christians, and Muslims, is a system based on fear and threats, i.e. you've got to be especially good or you won't get in, you will be tortured for all eternity. Hence, the need to please their god by praising his loveliness as a gift from God in respect of a singing voice. I'm glad I wasn't pulled into a system of such fear and duress. And, it stops critical thinking and leads to the hope that god's many headed serpent is going to save us from, e.g. climate change, but the Rapture will mean that all unbelievers will be going to hell. Loving god? Lovely believers? And, if I ask inconvenient questions I'm a son of Satan and going to hell. They believe in a god of the bible despite the fact that the bible contradicts all science. They believe in a god of the bible who endorses slavery, commanded human sacrifice and got it, animal cruelty, genocide, mass abortion, child sex slavery, stoning a man for picking up sticks on the Sabbath, marrying a girl off to her rapist, and much more. Religion is weird and dangerous. It's been free to spread and hunker down within our society for the last two thousand years. It's time, perhaps, to shake off this ancient voodoo belief system.

I heard her for the first time ever, yesterday. I subscribed then, not knowing who she was or anything about her, just a great voice. Today, listened to "Close to You". Confirmed: really sweet voice. Will listen more. Thanks
Congratulaciones you sing beautiful. I listened to this song on the family car radio in 1970. But by 1983, everything changed. 35 years have passed and I continue to listen to this song with the same admiration. I believe that Karen is a talented woman with an unfortunate destiny. "Achieving perfection is the most important thing". Karen Carpenter.
How lovely to see a young woman. Singing a love song..at these very 2019 decades.. this is an example how girls used to be lovely . Loyal. Soft. And very femenine. Caring. Friendly.. a soul mate..70s style. Regards lovely girl....2019 marzo 21. ..si.. Eran bellas. Las mujeres del ayer.. 60s 70s
I love how you sang this perfectly knowing your pitch and range. It was beautiful how you held the pitch perfectly. Vocals at there best are an vocalist artist voice can have a range that single instruments cannot do. Few artist can do it as Karen would go from soprano to almost alto in a verse which is what is what entices a listener because it is rare and pleasing to the listener. For some reason as a listener it's remarkable and makes me want to see them perform live to actually see this to assure that it isn't just studio mastered
Her voice... Similar to Karen Carpenter's! Listening through headphones it's like visiting Nirvana. Remembering my childhood days when black and white televisions, tube radios existed -- with NO internet!
Wow!! I was not expecting that. You had me at "Why do birds...".
Wow....
God has blessed her with a talent...which nobody will deny...
Thank god someone invented RUclips....the rest of the world can enjoy your beautiful voice. Cheers,
Thankyou ma'am I remember my Mother how beautiful this song for me❤❤❤my mother's in heaven GOD BLESS ❤️
I’m 57 years old and grew up listening to the carpenters with my dad in his library.
The first time I heard you sing i cried it was so good. And when you smile it makes me smile too! Your wonderful.

Great ! A very beautiful voice and a lovely face .
@Mambo Jambo IKR!!! Found her by accident. Thought I would just listen to a few bars and ended up listening to the entire video and subscribing.
My goodness, you've got such a hell of a voice, such a vibrato . Please, don't quit singing, sing on, make your own songs, compose and you'll ne known.
I'm like going back as a kid. Simple life listening to Carpenters songs. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent Sweet Shane!
OMG! She's not a kid anymore.

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?

And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
