[KarenEng]

@GordonIatiMusic Aw, thank you so much Gordon! I appreciate that my friend! Have a wonderful Sunday and week! :)

[johnzsongs]

loved it! : )

[isuckaman]

If you can hang with Karen Carpenter, then you can hang with the best of them.

I'd like you to find a partner then do the June Carter/Johnny Cash hit "Jackson".

[bluedovepdx]

One again excellent! Thanks. :-) I don't know if there is a proper request process but if I could offer a couple of suggestions....Carole King's 'It's Too Late' and Linda Ronstadt's 'Long, Long Time'. Two fantastic songs and I think your versions would be incredible. Also, anything by the Fifth Dimension ('One Less Bell to Answer' would be most excellent). Thanks!

[WoodLawnHills]

OMG you really have natural talent, thanks so much for this song!

[1stMrMemories]

Wow! This is one of your best. You are such a great talent. Thanks for helping me have a great start to my day. Thanks again.  5 *****

[ZZAAN84]

In my most humble opinion...I think this is Karen's FINEST performance. It was a toss-up with "Have You Ever Been Mellow" but this sounds so SMOOOOOTH.....like warm butter on a biscuit :)

[KarenEng]

@ZZAAN84 Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! :)

[prestush]

Why did they take Rainy Days and Mondays down? I loved your version.

[KarenEng]

@prestush I chose to take it down. I want to do a new version of it with my new Sm-58 mic! ;)

[petermackett37]

Every day i wonder how someone as talented as you,Karen has never been discovered by the music industry,you could be the greatest undiscovered singer ever and the whole world should hear you,it's a real shame,you could be a massive star,you so deserve it!

[KarenEng]

@petermackett37 You are such a sweetheart Peter! Thanks for this sweet comment! I do appreciate it! :)

[petermackett37]

[petermackett37]

Why listen to other singers when you can listen to the greatest singer ever and that's you,Karen!

[celebrityimpressions]

I've always enjoyed the Carpenters and you do this song so beautifully.

[KarenEng]

@celebrityimpressions Thanks so much! ;)

[umajunkcollector]

Karen, do you like any of the Gloria Estefan songs (Miami Sound Machine). She has many great songs, and I liked her covers of some of the greats, especially Traces.

[KarenEng]

@umajunkcollector I will have to check out Gloria's songs! Thanks so much! ;)

[umajunkcollector]

So many weddings used this song, it's so perfect.

I also love the Hawaiian Weeding song.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever heard a female singer do the Hawaiian Wedding Song?

[ruantengyi]

'We've Only Just Begun' is one of my favorite song from the Carpenters.

I first heard this song from the 1997 Australian Film' The castle" (Starring Michael Caton), although it was sang by Kate Ceberano in the film.

Any chance of singing 'Yesterday once more'?

[KarenEng]

@ruantengyi Yes, I will have to sing Yesterday once more! That would be a great one to do! Thank you! :)

[ruantengyi]

Yes, go for it! I can't wait for you to sing that song!

[aaaaadupre02]

outstanding! well done keep singing you have the gift.

[KarenEng]

@aaaaadupre02 Thanks so much! I appreciate that! ;)

[petermackett37]

We had a T.V.programme on last night celebrating the music of the Carpenters with well-known singers doing covers and Richard Carpenter talking about the songs and he said this was one of the hardest to sing and that no-one ever sung it properly.I just wish he could hear your version,Karen,it is true perfection!

[KarenEng]

Thank you, Peter! ;)

[KarenEng]

You are so sweet! Thank you! :)

[toolootool]

Wow. Are you in a band? Or did you used to be? Very impressive!

[KarenEng]

Well when I was 16, I sang in a band. Thank you! ;)

[petermackett37]

I've just thought of another great Carpenters song you could sing,Karen.

"Yesterday once more". My list of requests keeps getting longer,i'll keep you busy for ever,LoL!!!

[KarenEng]

Yes, that is a great one Peter! Thank you! ;)

[OONO39]

ｑ（⌒◎⌒）ｐ ＼（⌒◎⌒）／ ｑ（⌒◎⌒）ｐ

[p12oph3cy]

im not sure how you came up in my recommended videos but this was really good. you sounded just like her. great work.

[KarenEng]

Thank you! ;)

[petermackett37]

They say you can never have enough of a good thing,this is certainly true in your case,Karen because i can never ever have enough of your fantastic singing!

[KarenEng]

Thanks very much Peter! I have always loved singing this classic! :)

[tommyboy409]

Man....i have to agree with Pete,  Very difficult to tell you apart! But you definitely have her in the hotness department!

[KarenEng]

Thanks so much! ;)

[petermackett37]

I have heard many Karen Carpenter tribute singers but not one of them comes close to you,Karen.If they ever make a Carpenter's musical you should have the lead role,the more i listen the more i think you sound like Karen Carpenter,in fact it's hard to tell you apart!

[KarenEng]

Aw, thank you, Peter! I guess singing with her album over and over payed off lol! ;)

[kcngwm]

You are great!!! I loved the Carpenter's, you are wonderful.I think you need to make a album!!!! Keep up the good work.

[KarenEng]

I would love to make an album!.......Thanks so much! ;)

[oakdude1]

Not bad.....Karen Carpenter was the bomb!!

[KarenEng]

Thank you! ;)

[oakdude1]

Hire some musicians and record it as a demo.....

[petermackett37]

Just read Jim's comment and all i can say is you can never have enough of your videos,Karen.I can take the overwhelming pleasure all day without limit! LOL!!!!.

[KarenEng]

Thanks so much Peter! I am smiling from ear to ear again! Your comments always make that happen lol! ;)

[jimbo6227]

Hi Karen,

I've had to limit my intake of your videos as my eyes and ears can only take so much overwhelming pleasure (God that sounds so corny - BUT TRUE!) I never got to some of the older videos and I came across this one today following a long day. What a pleasure it is listening to you and looking at you! I have downloaded many of your softer, sexier songs and put them in my iPod and go to sleep listening to your meodic voice and hoping "You've Only Just Begun". Keep Singing Karen - Jim

[KarenEng]

Wow, Jim! Thank you! I really appreciate this sweet comment very much! You are the best! ;)

[gnijing]

great!!! just great!!!! we want more!!!! a simple request ms.karen, plz do the song of sergio mendez - bridges!!! keep up the good work karen!!! you rock!!!! ;)

[zgambz]

i do admire you & your voice....

[KarenEng]

I am so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you! ;)

[Starlifter88]

Wow! I have heard only two singers who came close to Karen Carpenter with her music. Yours is the top! Your rendition honors her as no words are capable of. Thank you for this renewal of talent!!!
