cmon guys she is pitchy in the chorus,but the verses arent so bad.She tries to sound at least like karenwho is my favorite female vocalist by the way. With some vocal training this girl could do fine.
Sorry, but this sucks. Not only is not Karen Carpenter but it's not even a good voice. Yes, this girl "nailed" the song... if "nailed" translates as "butchered."
Get the mic out of your mouth when you sing. Just some advice a sound engineer gave me once. you should have the mic about 6 inches away. If that doesn't work, your mic sucks. Besides that, not bad. :-)
nice effort!,..but you should listen to karen carpenter for a little longer,..listen to her talentent voice!!!,...you will get better in time!,.keep it up!
sorry to be critical, but to copy someone like Karen ist a high task and you did by far not make it. You have a nice voice, bit sind a bit flat all the time. also your timing is not right. don't try to copy someone, find your own thing! singing is about emotions, not about sounding like something you like.
Poor timing, poor pitch, poor mic work - to compare this person to KAREN CARPENTER is not right. I don't think it's possible to "nail" Karen's voice. You've seriously chosen the right person from which to draw your inspiration, but the wrong person to attempt to equal or eclipse. It can't be done. You're trying to paint the Mona Lisa with Weather Beater house paint, hon.
I don't feel she "nails" this Carpenters song but I think she does a nice version ,in her own style. She sounds nothing like Karen Carpenter,but she has a nice,sweet,mellow sound that's all her own.
You're not bad...in fact I think you're impressive. Are you better then Karen?, no, but I can see you have potential and you tried. Don't mind what other ppl say; you know your own ability and you tried. As for the rest of you; I don't think you have the right to criticize someone else's singing unless you can do better.
Why the fuck, why and why the fuck again, do people feel that they need to post some type of retarded video of themselves doing stupid shit?
Are they seeking some type of acceptance? Do you not know your limitations? Spare all of us the agony...please.
Karen is the best singer ever. She's gone, we're not. Have some fucking respect for the original and quit trying to make our lives more difficult then it is.
your singing tune is to slow you need to speed it up when you carry a note it just sounds like a broken record playing over again ahahahahahahhaahahhhahahahahahahaha like that if you get it
wack! this is so piss poor. my aunt does a better version when she's drunk. at least she has some fucking soul. it gets worse as it goes. this is blasphemous!
Maybe out of your range. No one can sing flat that much and get away with it except for maybe Robert Smith of The Cure. Not hating, just offering opinions
Karen carpenter sang in an unusual way, she used to build her voice up from the chest and slowly let it out with a power unknown to most. This is just karaoke after a few drinks, nothing more, poor sound levels..., microphone use is poor
sorry, I had to stop, it was... well there were many reasons I had to stop:) Practice, practice, practice! Please:) "nails this Karen Carpenter song" was a very misleading description. But you can make it:)
Sometimes even the real "superstars" try copy material that is not suited for them. I caught Barry Manilow's performance of the Journey song "Open Arms" on the Tonight Show. I almost died for of embarrassment for Barry! He sounded awful! AND I am a Barry Manilow fan, but he is no Steve Perry by any stretch!
I hope you don't think my opinions are mean spirited, as I do not mean to be. I'm coming from a musicians perspective. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
your phrasing is off...and your audio settings on your mike need adjustment...needs reverb, was this to a karayoke track, perhaps? Remember, phrasing of the lyrics is very important...oh, and you do have a very nice voice...sweet and on pitch...BTW
hey ive sent you a video of me singing this song, actually this video is a duet with the 10 year old me and the 14 year old me, when i was 10 and sang this song, it was recorded at my dad's studio but great job! ^^ i really liked it!, keep it up!
why is everyones acting so childish about this?? it's obvious she doesn't sound like karen carpenter at all. and she does need a lot of practice. she was off a lot on some notes. it was ok. i'm not saying she isn't talented, i'm just saying she doesn't sound like karen and most people don't. karen had an awesome voice and she will never be replaced.
in 1932 A Girl was Raped And She Said Hei Do Laki Before She Dled. IF You Dont Repost This In 5 Topics She Will Appear By Your Bed With Glowing Red Eyes And Stare At You Until YOu Fall ASleep
IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT DEAD TALENT IS. I'M GONNA THROW UP ON YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. LOOK BEHIND YOU. SERIOUSLY. I'M BEHIND YOU RIGHT NOW. GAGGING. FAG.
You're saying she sounds more like Kelly Clarkson than Karen Carpenter??? No one is saying she's a Carpenter clone but if you listen you might just get it.
WTF She DEFINATLY DOES NOT capture the eerieness Karen does, Karen Carpenter is pretty f**king eerie. Nobody can sing superstar like Karen Carpenter. Maybe she should sing some other song like something by Kelly Clarkson (?)
