  • Hi Karen,

    Wishing you a very Happy New Year. I just love the way you sing.

    God bless you sweetie.

    Have you started working on Evergreen yet...my previous request.

    Look forward to it.

    Thanks for the joy you bring,

    Larry

  • @lairt357 Thank you Larry! I will definitely do a cover of "Evergreen" this year! God bless you too! Happy New Year! :)

  • I just stumbled into this one. Don't think I've seen it before. Very nice. Takes me back to when iw as 10 yrs old ha ha. A Late 1960's artifact. Not often heard because of that. Thank you for putting it up.

  • @razzking Thanks so much! I appreciate it! :)

  • Great song . Where have you been all my life.

  • What a great voice! A wonderful version of a powerful song!

  • WOW!!! Very well done. I also sing this. One word of advise. Just let the words flow out of your mouth. Other than that,nicely done. I remember going to see 'Billy Jack' back in '71, and yes Idid raise my fist at the end of the film.

  • I think you did a great job, you just need to put yourself into the song a little more.  Feel the fear and the power of the words in this song. Otherwise it was pretty darn good.

  • Your on key its just that your talking through the lyrics rather than singing them...

  • It would be better if you would sing the actual lyrics.

  • Wow your voice is amazeing!!! Best version I ever heard!

  • @jmv420able1 Thank you! I appreciate it! :)

  • you're a very good singer, i just wish that u had recorded this without the background music, i think it would have been better, the music kinda makes it sound weaker

  • Wow, Karen. You have an amazing voice and youre extremely beautiful. please keep singing.

  • @DavidFlyLee I appreciate that! Thank you! :)

  • Awesome as ever, my friend and still as beautiful, too! :))) As they've said before as good as or better than Jinx!

  • @Lloydhl I am honored! Thank you! :)

  • great job!!I thought it was better than the original.

  • @fish10241 Wow, thanks! I appreciate that! ;)

  • wow, you are very pretty

  • @kimblers Aw, thank you, that is sweet! :)

  • @KarenEng what happended to the video of you singing riders of the storm ?

  • Thank you Karen for the joy you bring to all. Please continue these videos. Do you sing evergreen?

  • @lairt357 Thanks so much! I will have to do a new rendition of "Evergreen"! I love that song! :)

  • @KarenEng Excellent rendition of a timeless classic. Your performance exceeds that of Jinx Dawson.

  • @CaptainMark87 Wow, thanks so much! :)

  • @KarenEng Your welcome.

  • Your voice is beautiful! Given your comment, I take it that you never saw the Saturday Night Live skit with Paul Simon playing "Billy Jerk". One hilarious part goes something like this: Billy Jerk (Paul Simon): "When I see racism, I get so mad that I feel the need to kill someone!" There are only 2 good things about Billy Jack.: 1. the song "One Tin Soldier" & 2. that I didn't pay to see it. I saw it on TV. If I had paid to see that piece of crap, I would have felt the need to kill someone!

  • Wow!!!

  • wow just like the original song

  • @trucvy123 Thanks so much! :)

  • wow.....you are good....that is really good.....

  • @MDre22 I appreciate that! Thank you! :)

  • @KarenEng U r very welcome

  • Quite good

  • @naviton5 Thank you! :)

  • Beautiful - and yes, you're right it IS a hard song to sing!

  • The internet and social media was intended to be a service,not a weapon or power to destroy thoes you may disagree with! Your song is a service to thoes of us who still beleive in yesterday.Take care ADonovan43

  • @ADonovan43 Great comment! Thank you! :)

  • A very good job... Closed my eyes, and went back to the early 70s... Thank you.

  • I love how you sing this song reminds of Coven cover version. And your cute as well :)

  • I LOVE HER SINGING!

  • You need to reshoot this . Its pretty good . With some minor changes it could be very good . Reshoot it with a Green/White backdrop in much lower light with sublit green , orange , red (Whatever appropriate colors) . When done listen to the recording . Sometimes your really loud and other times normal . This is normal it just needs to be addressed . Then you would have a first class video for you tube . Please dont take this wrong I wouldnt waste my time if you didnt have talent . Your good !

  • Hey you did that song great!! I loved the movie Billy Jack!!! I fell for Billy Jack's honour  right away, what a story.

  • @jenannna I appreciate that! Thank you! :)

  • Sing it girl!  Sing it!

  • Good morning Karen. Thank you of your beautiful prestation. I can see that you put the lyrics of the song, it's very good. Thank you very much. Respectfully.

    Your friend Sergio le gitan

  • LOVE this song! Its an amazing lyric and the story is great. I sang it once in a choir and fell in love. I have never heard of Billy Jack and I honestly hate this arangment, My choir teacher played it much slower and less raspy. Great song and I hope to see another version in a different arrangement arrive. Great Job!

  • @RachelRox180 Thanks very much! I appreciate it! :)

  • Still around, my friend, and you're still as lovely as ever! :)))

  • Excellent rendition Karen. You have an exceptional voice.

  • another reason y i love this song is because it was sung at a summer camp i went 2 in my home state of vermont. that was many years ago but it still brings back memories. thanx 4 taking ne back 2 my time @ summer camp.

  • I love it Karen,

    I don't understand 42 dislikes! 42 Thumps down back at them :D

  • Now we're talking. I can see Billy Jack telling Bernard that he's going to kick him in the head and there's nothing he can do about it. A cult classic. Oh, and this was a bold choice given the soaring notes that that Jinx from Coven hits during this song. I was really impressed that you didn't hold back on those extremely difficult parts.

  • @4graces Aw, thank you! I have always loved this song! I wore my Billy Jack album out lol! Oh no, I am aging myself! I meant to say, CD, ha! ha! :)

  • @4graces ...actually Bernard was the son he made drive the $3000 Vette into the lake

  • Nice job, Karen ! I look forward to hearing more from you.

  • @SPennell Thank you! :)

  • love it--thanx for posting

  • beautiful!! THANK YOU!! :-P

  • thank you

  • Battle ridden.

  • It always brings a tears running down my cheek.

  • Yo Karen, Didn't some woman named Gloria Mcgovern sp?.......originally sing this song?........If you could help me out to settle a bet.......I need correct spelling !......Thank you soo much!

  • Damn girl, you are good. I don't know if you are English but your diction when singing is superb. If someone didn't know the words to this song, they do now. Unless you are a great actress, your passion when you sing this song is very authentic. EXCELLENT version of this great classic. Kudos Karen

  • @Tonithenightowl Thanks very much! ;)

  • Dang you can belt it out.

    I thought this was lip synch, but am impressed. I would love to hear a studio recording instead of this room.

  • Very very good job, i just wanted to point out that the lyrics are "go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend" so you left out 'ahead' but its doesn't really matter it was still extremely good!

  • This has always been one of my favorite songs and I must admit you do an outstanding job with it, I was very impressed, most people destroy it. Thank you

  • @spankylee012 Thanks very much! :)

  • @spankylee012 Difficult song. Hey, can you kick ass like Billy Jack? Jus' kiddin. Nice voice!

  • How cool was that? The only thing is you were red lining some of the notes so the louder you sing you should pull the microphone away a couple more inches or so depenfding how loudly you sing it only seems to happen in the chorus. the preceding comment doesn't mean I enoyed it less! OK? GREAT JOB!!

  • This lady did wonderful job sing this song.

  • i wasnt able to finish so I had to make another post now I want you to know I think your vocals are great you are almost as good as the origionals I did post this a few years ago to you but your"fans jumped all over me which im guessing will happen againI just think if you tried to be a little more "you" and be yourself I can tell your are "putting on a show" for the vid ,just once try to do it naturally dont try to "put on a show"I think you would be right up there with the best of them

  • hi i wwould like to give you a little constructive critisism ,I am a fan so please dont take this as in insult because i believe you are so close to doing it right ,Ive watched most if not all of your vids over the years and I think if its the one thing you do wrong is you seem to "over sing" the songs take this one for instance if you listen to Jinx Dawson of coven[who made it famous] sing this or the origional caste you dont see them going "full throttle" they just let it flow naturally

  • You do such an amazing job on this song. The only thing lacking is the quality of the sound - which is obviously not your fault. Terrific cover on a very difficult song!

  • Amazing! So glad you did this song. Has always been at the top of my favorites (the Coven version is all I had known) from when I was a very young kid. The lyrics have stuck with me all these years (am 47 now). Thanks for adding your beautiful voice to this incredible song. If you haven't already done this one...'Aquarius' would would be a really good one....or anything by The Association ('Cherish' maybe) or S & G 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' or Mercy's 'Love Can Make You Happy'.

  • WOW, great performance and you looked like you got emotionally involved with the song too!

  • WITH THE ACOUSTICS YOU DO THIS TUNE BETTER THAN JOAN BAEZ/THAT,S QUITE A FEAT.

  • @61TUNER Thanks so much! :)

  • i remember the movie. billy jack kicked some butte!! you did a great job on one of my favorite songs of all time. the lessons in the lyrics could well be used today.

  • @4goldenheart Yes, I totally agree! :)

  • The 39 dislikes are people who are just jealous.

  • For many of us there wounds of the 1970's are deep! The memories are a very mixed bag from "a time I don't remember and I war I can't forget". Your cover of this song is perfect...not easy song to sing. You did very well..not an easy song to listen to and you nailed that. Thank you !!!
