That is just amaizing!! Just watched all your videos and can't believe that I've never heard about you before. I hope I can buy your CDs and hear your great voice life at a real concert soon.

@rebecca0030

Hi Rebecca. I'm impressed with your rendition. It's close to Karen's version. Why don't you join America's Got Talent or Britain's Got Talent and maybe you'll be discovered...?

[Photorayyy]

Another great one Becky..:)

[anilim001]

very good..!

[wildnites558]

Fantastic. There's a little Karen in your voice, I picked it up right away. This was the last song that Karen ever recorded. April of '82 and she left us for good less than a year later. You do this song and Karen justice ---- and there aren't many that can. I see you do a Bacharach number too. I bet you could to do a good job with Dionne Warwick and Marilyn McCoo. I'd like to hear you try "One More Time" by the Carpenters. That's one tune sung by Karen that always gets me everytime i hear it.

[MikeHudson65]

I have been searching for this backing track because I wish to sing it. Can you tell me where you got it please or if you are feeling generous could you send to me. I love your vocal phrashing and vibrato. I'd be so grateful if you could help?

[FairLady107]

This is amazing!! Great job! You sound so much like Karen it's crazy!

[shueysmissus]

I first watched this a year ago.......i still come back to it and watch it regularly.....i think its shocking that with a voice like yours you have not been discovered!! Your version of this song is astoundingly beautiful xx

[tasercs]

"just a shy ordinary girl" you say.... Karen was once upon a time too. With the millions of videos to choose from on You Tube, why is it I just have to look into my Favourites and listen to this whenever I'm on? Karen's voice has a way of going straight to my spine and creating those tingles that no other singer ever has. Your voice does that in exactly the same way. I'm just counting down the days before someone spots your talent and turns the shy girl into a Superstar. Breathtaking. x

[maktubmaktub]

Maravilloso!!!!

[talentguy31]

ok becca perfection !!! amazing!! overdub this and you have karen!! sing it like you lived in the words of the song and youve done it here !! wow i beleive this was karens last song before her untimly death, you did her proud !!!! if your trying for her sound your so close, if you wernt you did something you didnt realize !!! wow !!! demo this song in a studio !! yea!! your that good !!! at last someone that can sing !!!! its you my dear !!!

[orping]

Great job- you did Karen proud

[catpirate71]

Wow!! What a voice You sound so much like Karen Carpenter, You really should look to singing in a proffesional capacity. Truely beautiful :o)

[meinnameistbach]

[joshibaby1]

[onatsuki]

Good try , I also hear it at Karen carpenter story in you tube and richard was cry for this last record of Karen's lifetime( actually Karen only got one take for this song) ,my top five favorite carpenters song ! The fact was this album song of my heart was most beautiful slow ballad of carpenter!hope your voice also like Karen can touching everybody's heart!

[blackcat91270]

That was beautiful - I remember hearing it at the end of the karen carpenter story and it brings tears to my eyes every time - well done and good luck x

[ellieandgabby]

You do have it, just need to believe it. Belt it out. Know it.

[captnnero]

Lovely work there. You've got your own unique instrument, not to be compared to Karen's. Enjoy it !

cheers

[cathode1990]

Obviously you have studied the style the sound and singing mannerisms of the late Miss Carpenter - I remember this song from the television movie.about Karen- I always say"if you're gonna imitate someone at least do it well " And you did ! - Give the song "Superstar" a go

[gymguycr]

nice

[lebamboo08]

Thank you very much, reminding me so many of sweet memories when i was young.

Thanks again.

[tinagetmetheaxe]

This girl is INCREDIBLE. I got chills and I am the harshest critic of singers. You go, girl! Where are you? Do you have a deal? You are GREAT!

[Simon4813]

Karen is/was my all time favourite singer so I dont think anyone can compare, but I have to say you sounded like her on quite a few of the lower notes. Well done and keep up the good work !

[juneandnorm4ever]

You're nearly as good as the real thing! And definitely better looking. Truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of the world!

[edo1754]

I was just tooling around and felt like hearing a bit of the Carpenters when I stumbled onto your rendition of a song I never really heard before by Karen. I was honestly floored by your voice and delivery...amazing Rebecca, just amazing...bravo!

[aldymarzio]

your voice is so beautiful. i love it.

[bellabecka2You]

Can you tell me where you got the back tracking for this song or is it a karaoke version? By the way we share the same first name. :)

[rebecca0030]

thankyou for all the very kind comments. rebecca x

[Timcoplawyer]

This song in "The Karen Carpenter Story" was the main one that sent the most goosebumps through me, given the placement of the song at the end when you knew that the end was near......you did an AMAZING job at the song.....thank you VERY MUCH for posting such an incredibly beautiful version of this song! :-)

[gr8gildy]

Almost 40 years ago I fell in love with Karen's voice on the radio. Your performance gave me that same feeling. Most Carpenter's songs that are covered by people on youtube, I have low expectations. Your singing was great from the start till the end. Keep up the good work. Give us more quality songs.

[1DishyDonna]

absolutley fantastic, you have truely an amazing voice.

[1DishyDonna]

That was really good, i wasnt expecting that.

[TeeneyBop1976]

karen carpenter is my fav singer . you do a beautiful version of this song

[celsior44]

Wonderful!!

You do have a great voice!!!

BRAVO!!!!

Estou APAIXONADO!!!

[pbleekm]

You do have a great voice. I thought there was a moment when you sounded like Karen. You voice is beautiful and so are you. Love Pam

[rosemaryrnre]

Absolutely brilliant singing on this!!! Love the Carpenters, i sang this acapella, but can you tell me where you got music for it?? This is closest i've heard to Karen Carpenter!!! Thanks for posting, adding to favorites!

[8969deinze]

You sing this beautifully. This is my favourite Karen performance, and has always given me goosebumps. You did too!!

Thanks.

[Gozzmanator]

repped! you are reallllly good, future X factor winner

[Rusty2winfan]

Rebecca,I had tears in my eyes listening to you sing that song.You sing it so well.I miss Karen so much still.Thank you for keeping her alive.

[argonauta2102]

Rebecca your voice is just marvelous, you have a gift ;) May I ask you for a song that Karen loved but she never made a cover of it. The song is "Laughter in the rain" and she only sang a little bit of this song in a BBC interview. So this is my humbly request. Thank you very much and keep singing :)

[karencarpenterlive]

Beautiful Rebecca. Congratulations.

[takerzor]

i think you can soften your voice a little bit to make it much better :)

[Tuumeke]

Rebecca, I have been a big fan of The Carpenters for nearly 40 years, and know Karens voice, the instant I hear it. Sweetheart, you are the closest I have ever heard anyone come anywhere near to Karen... You have done her song much justice... well done!!!

[lavalamp77]

I just came upon your video on accident and I'm completely floored by your voice.

[rebecca0030]

thankyou for your comment,this is one of the carpenters songs i enjoy singing the most. rebecca

[gaserjd]

I actually got chill bumps.

[rebecca0030]

thankyou

[22beegees]

I hardly know where to begin. Everytime I listen to you sing, I'm amazed. Your voice is so lovely. Many times I've played this video for friends, but haven't told them who is singing. Every single time they think it's Karen. Of course, her voice was deeper. Other than that........WOW.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Plus thanks for always keeping to the spirit of the songs you perform.

[rebecca0030]

hi thankyou very much and im really glad you liked it.

[tasercs]

They were all amazed when Susan Boyle first sung... but they didn't fall off their seats. Your voice, Rebecca, is so close in so many ways to the real thing... and as Karen was one of the true great voices, that's a real compliment! I would love to hear you sing more Carpenters songs so much. Beautiful. Send me a CD! :)

[Saichick]

WOOOOOOW it's really good!! You're singing sooooooo beautifully!!! Respect :D

[yaconjo]

Hey, Rebecca. You know what...I think Karen Carpenter herself would smile hearing you sing her song so beautifully. You have a lovely voice and I enjoyed watching your video a lot!!

[rebecca0030]

thankyou for all the lovely comments.rebecca

[yaconjo]

Hey, Rebecca. You know what...I think Karen Carpenter would smile hearing you sing her song so beautifully. You have a lovely voice and I enjoyed that very much!!

[frazerjohnwhite]

Perfect!

[kickinbacknyc]

I am completely in shock. What a great voice!!

[inhymnilive]

Well done!

[rebecca0030]

thankyou for all the very kind comments.rebecca

[Maladay]

Absolutly perfect,I agree you should be recording,well done xox

[deutche1978]

persue it, i like ur voice

[BalladeerBand]

What a lovely voice, well done!! A little tip if I may, suggest you try and find a way to reduce the hiss on the microphone, but that is no way a reflection on your voice - it's lovely!

[pbleekm]

You are amazing! Your really very good. There were moments when I thought you sounded like Karen. You kind of brought tears to my eyes.

[VolumeSearcher]

Why don't you have a recording contract?

[mizkatie3]

Excellent. Karen would be proud. Just right tone and expressions. To me the song is about happiness, not sadness. Hope is what it is also. Sad that Karen is gone but you did great. :)

[saucepanlid]

great voice, i love this song and you sang it beautifully, kelly x

[ccaldw6442]

I never felt moved to comment on anything I've seen on youtube until NOW (no pun intended lol). You have an EXCEPTIONAL voice. I was listening to several Carpenter tracks and when this one came on I thought it was the original with a video and when I looked closer I noticed it wasn't Karen. KUDOS and keep up the excellent work. I am sure Karen is smiling.

[rebecca0030]

thankyou for the lovely comments.rebecca

[decymro]

[kchuym]

Good voice, with a sad mood and softer can be even better

[pachimen]

REALLY REALLY GREAT!

[RecordWarped]

Excellent job on a difficult song. I wish you the best with your career. May I ask where you got the instrumental track?

[wwcapture]

bravo REBECAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[marcharino]

You have very good range and tonal quality. It is especially difficult to sing a song in the shadow of it being sung by one of the greatest female vocalists of all time, i.e. Karen Carpenter, and you still did a great job.

[Zagalchino]

Lo haces muy bien.

[reteofilo]

HI Rebecca

I'm from Brazil and I think you have an amazing voice, the Carpenter's songs are very hard to sing. Congratulations.

I hope to see you in a record.

[DannyNewman]

You have an amazing voice. And it's one of my favourite Carpenters' songs. Sadly it was the last song Karen recorded.

[wdashwor]

Wow! You're quite a talent, gorgeous voice and great style with this song. I enjoyed, thanks for posting.

[rebecca0030]

thankyou all for the lovely comments.rebecca

[RomyNaturis88]
