JUST LIKE karen Carpenter We've Only Just Begun (Claire Paydon)

[Escul1960]

You really have a BEAUTIFUL voice!

Well done.....

[missmelissa1204]

not bad, but not EXACTLY like K Carpenter.. Man Please!

[TomsFriendKake]

Wow, this is creepy, she sounds just like Karen.

[Desoto875]

Her intention is not to copy The Carpenters. If she tried she would be spot on without reservation. Just a little coaching, and she would be perfection.

[Cpaydon]

@Desoto875 thankyou!

[skippidido]

Claire,the last comment says it all.There are thousands of songwriters out there (just like me)who write with a voice like yours in their head singing the vocals .I would pay for your voice(if i had any money).Do yourself a favour.GET YOURSELF A DECENT MIC AND START PRACTISING.Listening to what you've got so far,a little bit of effort will go a long long way.And lets have some more vocals that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

[AnyBrightIdea]

Sure, you're a great singer. But to say your voice is just like Karen's is ridiculous. I doubt that anyone will ever come close to Karen's style and talent.

[Cpaydon]

@AnyBrightIdea I agree I only put that to get more listeners!!! I adore her I sound like her as she taught me to sing. She was the first person I heard sing and I learnt from her. x

[MsTinkerbelle87]

this is really good!!!! i was like "yeah right" but you actually sound like her!!:)

[iduefoscari]

Best of luck in "Brittains Got Talent" this evening. You certaintly have Claire!!!!

[jayvizer8]

ever see the movie 1408?

[1979davecub]

You have a great voice,Claire! Your voice sounds remarkably like early Karen. I think she would be proud! : )

[iduefoscari]

@1979davecub such a lovely comment

[bravesfan11221969]

awesome...you sound awesome

[erko62]

You have a beautiful voice.

The best Karen Carpenter tribute I have heard

[flavia2061]

beautiful, your voice is more beaut. than her, in my opinion, but she sings stronger. in some moments your voice "die" before it should. nice!

[srbrunoaf]

I make aljabi's words my own.

[spider196047]

[In2TheNiteLife]

Hi Claire...Mom says thank you and she appreciatiates your humbleness...anyway she wanted me to ask you if you ever heard of Connie Francis or Brenda Lee? she said your voice is wide which shows that you have dept , I on the other hand think you should take a shot at some like either Dusty Springfield...who knows lol ..any whooo talk to you again hun

[In2TheNiteLife]

Hi Claire, reading some previous posts, u wish u had some of ur own material to sing? Do you write? would u be willing 2 look over some songs written by others if so I have so much which I call "Crap" lol i'd share.

PS. I let my mom hear ur singing & i didn't tell her it was u.she said oh my u still listen 2 those songs I played when u were kids.I said yea mom but that"s not Karen lol.When I told her it was u, she was baffled lol.her words to u are as quote "What an angel"

[Cpaydon]

@In2TheNiteLife thats such a lovely message from your mummy!! Im really fed up as I went to recording studio and sang superstar and when I listened to it on the way home you couldnt hear my vocals!! I WANT TO FIND WORK SINGING!!!!! but can't so annoying. I went to xfactor audition qued for 7 hours and went home couldn't take it anymore it was ffffreeeezing!!!

[kanwo16bian]

Your voice's great! Should start being yourself and not Karen:D Your looks + nice voice = Fans:D

[TheSami1973]

You have a lovely voice. Not exactly like KC but there is definately a big resemblance in there and you sound almost like her. You are talented in your own right. Would love to hear you singing your own stuff. I'd buy your album. :o)

[Cpaydon]

@TheSami1973 Thank you I wish I had my own stuff to sing!! I need Richard to write it! x

I LOVE YOU.

[Downeastisgr8]

Hi Claire,

I've had the privilege and great opportunity to share this with some friends in the music industry. Response: "Fantastic"!

Again, kudos for such a spectacular performance.

Thank you again for indulging all of us at YouTube.

Cheers!

[Cpaydon]

thank you lovely kid! x

[Downeastisgr8]

Claire,

If you decide that you are in the "game"--SERIOUSLY, please let me know, you have the "chops" to be a superstar.

I know the people who can make it happen.

Not sure how to communicate, I'm new at YouTube.

Looking for great talent--Kiddo, you've got it!

Cheers.

Downeast

[Downeastisgr8]

Hi Claire,

Absolutely Fantastic!

Without question you have the pipes.

If you have interest in pursuing a career in music please LMK.

Again, thank you for keeping Karen's memory alive.

All the best!

[Caddichris]

Hi Claire! I truly enjoyed it, you have her tone qualities and a very nice vibrato. I know that Karen is indeed smiling. Today there are entertainers that impersonate singers from the past . You should look into something like that or as someone else commented try out for American Idol. Looking at your pictures I can see you are young and very beautiful. I studyed with a voice teacher for many years and I know you have the qualities to do something big if you put you mind to it! Best Wishes!

[Cpaydon]

Thank you for your lovely message. I got into Stars in Their Eyes an impersonation show. But they cancelled the who;e bloomin show didn't they! My luck.

[woodlandparadise]

Thanks, you send me the link. I listened and you do have great voice. What do you want with it? Maybe develop your own style? Haunt Richard Carpenter with a great idea. Pitch movie producers.... I wish you all the luck!

[Cpaydon]

thanks for listening. I wish I COULD find Richard to haunt him!!!

[geraldengstrom]

fantastic

[foreverashcroft]

wow im inpressed , youve got Karens voice to a tee..great job..

[Cpaydon]

Thanks! Please make all your friends listen!!! x

[In2TheNiteLife]

Not bad...not bad... What else can you do?

[Cpaydon]

cheers! listen to my other song brown eyes blue trying to record more x

[iduefoscari]

I've NEVER heard anyone sound as much like her than you do! It's really quite amazing.

[TICSES]

[oldstrat1]

Hi again, tried rating but it didn't show, so I'll put it in writing EXCELLANT 10 OUT OF 10. Best wishes

[Cpaydon]

why thank you what lovely words!!! x

[oldstrat1]

Your welcome, have a great day, Best wishes Mark

[oldstrat1]

Hi Claire, I tried to comment earlier but it didn't show, so here goes again. I've got to say that after hearing a lot of Carpenters covers, I've got to say this is the best. You have such a closeness to Karen's voice, it's very moving but also makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I really look forward to more covers. Best wishes Mark

[asharbino]
