Belinda Carlisle - Bless the beasts and the children

[carlmonico]

WE ALL SHOULD BLESS THE BEAST AND THE CHILDERN. AND THE ONES WHO DON'T NEED TO GO STRAIGHT TO F- - - - - - JAIL.

[redmus1959]

I would like to disagree with headley62. I very much like to listen to Belinda and this is a good version but Karen Carpenter's version is still the BEST.

[robdon88]

karen blows this away there is no meaning  this version karen pours her heart into every word

[PurplesunnMusic]

Opps. I should've also said it was called "Tame Yourself" came out in 1991 and was for PETA. VERY RARE. But that's where this song is from.

[PurplesunnMusic]

Actually, this IS on an album. It was a charity CD of various artists that belinda donated the song to. I Still have the original CD = )

[rafiti555]

Thanks i was looking this for years! God bless you :)

[psychofred2]

Karen has a nice voice, but like Ann Wilson and Dusty Springfield, she is no match for Belinda Carlisle! No-one is. Love you, Belinda!

[kassid4]

dont care, who sings it. the song is worth to sing and be listened.

[Aeolis7]

I love Belinda. This rendtion seems under produced (possibly unfinished?).  It's strays a bit too much from the original version. I am thrilled however that you posted it.

Thanks!

[pattyd1401]

I have to agree, this song is done best by Karen, The original singer.

[lanasnana]

I like alot of Belinda Carlisle's songs, but this is not her best work. For one thing,this version has nothing to do with beasts or children, which is what the song is about. I feel that it lacks sincerity.

This version can't even touch Karen Carpenter's version. Karen's voice is incredibly beautiful. I didn't really enjoy this one. Just my humble opinion.

[hellonyhello]

it was on Tame yourself a various artists album also with Exene's amazing version of phil ochs do what i gotta do.

[mrbroadway0711]

there is a reason a song does not make it on an album.

[HoshiChun]

nope dont like it. her voice is to vibrating...hard to explain. that shes cold or something and her voice is shiver to much....nope nope dont like it.

[acerr40]

@HoshiChun her voice always vibrates like that...kind of her trademark...she has great vocal modulation, but it can irratating in some of her songs...

[chichiboypumpi]

ms carpenter's and ms carlisle's takes on the song were both superb

[prodos8]

You can't touch KAC's version.

[windsablowin]

one of the best songs from the 70's - awesom

[FlyingMondongo]

Love Karen's version, her deep comprehension.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Belinda is an amazing talent.

I love her so much.

She gets better with time.

Thank you for posting this.

[stuartshame]

Karen's is the best but Belinda's is also great. I don't think you can compare the two as they both have complately different arrangements. S x

[maleficentdiva]

Karen Carpenter's version is THE BEST, this one is ok, but Karen's is better

[maria98173]

lovely!!!!!!!

[mysticore]

Thanks, got it on ebay for 2 dollars :)

[tadapa]

You're very welcome!

[mysticore]

Does anyone have the mp3? Can't find it online :( Thanks :)

[tadapa]

Just in case you'd like to know, anyone out there, I originally got this song from the "Tame Yourself" cassette tape(surely available on CD also) in approximately 1990 or so. "Tame Yourself" was done as a benefit compilation for PETA. Just in case you want to know where it was recorded originally. The days before MP3s. I remember being very impressed with this and that back then. I just now happen to click here on this video clip today seeing this song clip for the 1st timeon YouTube. Blessings!

[VerdammtX]

I'm running a deal on clues this week. Please think about getting one.

[tadapa]

God has enough Love to go around for all his creation. May God help you if you have a distorted idea of the word "beast", which just means "animals" here, certainly not what you suggest. Please see another viewpoint. Animals can show (God's) love more than you may witness in many people. If you don't know this then YOU are ignorant in this way.

[tadapa]

13th C, I've read many other books also, such as books on near-death experiences, Guideposts reading material, even books and quotes from other religions, etc. I feel that you don't have to be scared. You can believe you have lovely creatures around you, and there is not just the Bible but a lot more to give you hope and inspiration and joy in life. Wishing you wellness and happiness and a more positive & true heavenly outlook in your path in life, blessings to you!

[MacGrurry]

I like what she did with this song. i just heard the Carpenter version but i want to say i liked this one better, prolly cause i heard it first

[headley62]

Belinda singing of this song is the best I have heard.

Bless Belinda.

[54spiritedwill54]

Belinda's rendition of this song is the best.

[FaytLinegod]

All of you haters suck. Belinda did a fine job with this song.

[JaysonsMom]

I like Belinda, but I have to agree that this song doesn't suit her. She has a lovely voice but this is one she should have left alone.

[anniecakes661]

I like that animals were included in this. We tend to forget them.

[mariusica7273]

Deridex you are sick with your beast.

[sirkku29]

I don't see the point of a video like this

[blueeyesofice]

what were u thinkin belinda?

[SHAYDJ08]

please can anyone help me to get a copy of this

regards from ireland

[ssoko]

Even I like the arrangement, Belinda's voice doesn't fit to this song.

[rmworthem]

Yuck, she took a wonderful song and made it lousy. No one can top Karen Carpenter with this song.

[Kateyhall]

I agree with you.Belinda never should have sung this. This song does not suit Belinda's voice at all.

[pffortes]

Her vibrato makes her sound like a munchkin.

[cindeemorgan]

Great song! An Important reminder this election season: Check out another powerful YouTube video recorded by 7 year old Sharon Morgan "Fearfully And Wonderfully Made - Voice Of The Children."

[headley62]

Bless Belinda.

[Gnillob802]

Never realized she covered this song. She butchered it. I don't think anyone could top The Carpenters but I have heard other people cover it ok, this is pretty bad in so many ways.

[Kateyhall]

I agree. Have a nice day.

[pennymusicMAma]

Belinda is great, however PLEASE listen to KAREN CARPENTER's rendition & Sarah Brightman.

[headley62]

I think Karen is great too, but I like Belinda's version of this better. 5 stars Jim from Cleveland.

[headley62]

Wonderful song from a beautiful classy lady.

[PrettyPrudance]

What are the videos that these clips are all parts off ???

[GooGav]

They are various promo clips of some of Belinda's singles. So far I've spotted: Half The World Vision Of You All God's Children Circle In The Sand Summer Rain In Too Deep Leave A Light On Heaven Is A Place On Earth I Get Weak

[Davey7358]

I love Belinda but Karen's version is just so much better. In every way.

[oranger2525]

Until right now, I never knew she covered this song.

Love you, Belinda, but Karen owns this song.

[headley62]

Belinda's rendition of this song is the best.

It sounds so beautiful I can't put it into words.

[headley62]

Bless Belinda

[headley62]

Four children and two adults died two days ago in a fire set by an arsonist in Youngstown, Ohio. Are we already in hell and don't even realize it?

[frb01]

You can never get close to perfection, KC was that voice of perfection. Belinda does a good job here in her own way.

[ladykrista2]

elroto's right about this piece...

[corkguy30]

thank you so much for posting this excellent stuff

[elroto]

sorry, doesnt hold a candle to the original to Karen Carpenters version

[kwebster62]

I agree. Some songs just don't need to be redone.
