  • WOW if i didnt know any better i would almost have thought it was karen herself giving me goosebumps truely stunning

  • ENJOYED! keep it up girl!

  • Not bad- try breathing from the diaphram though. That will open you up on the higher parts. The best way to do this is inhale through your nose, hold it and relaxe. When you get the feel of it, then inhale through your mouth . Keep the throat relaxed.and lock the air in and sing..

  • @MrMFHORN Shut up, please.

  • You have a gifted voice......!!!

  • I love it ... thank you for 'your share' !

    With Love,

    Marilyn

  • Great job. Of all the Carpenter's songs this one makes me so sad as I think about what happened to Karen Carpenter.

  • Before you start, I liked your expressions ... you showed your heart without knowing it. Truly beautiful. This song moves my heart, too. All the best from Spain.

  • you sound like karen carpenter!! 1 million thumbs up! very nice!

  • you sound very nice and do a very nice cover of our dear karen carpenter! congratulations! Uruguay Catalogne, from Montevideo, Uruguay, South America

  • Iv seen hudreds of carens carpenters videos

    are your the best ever! closest to the real thing

  • Incredible! just like karen`s voice!

  • Every now and then you capture Karen's soft and deep alto, Nice voice.

  • Wonderful voice! your a great singer!

  • you sound very good considering the audio eqpts.(no offense)you're using..your voice overwhelmed whatever is lacking in the pre-recorded accompaniment. good luck and more recording on the way..you have talent with a capital T.

  • I'm down today for some reason, too! Not sure why. It's not even Monday! Thanks for watching!

  • "talking to myself and feeling old" I never knew that was the words! god. i can relate to that... snowy days and new years always gets me down!

  • I really like your singing. Now you can start thinking about the "lyrics behind the lyrics". For example, in the bridge ("Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you...."), try to convey the feeling that you are slowly realizing that the person you're singing to is the one you always seem to go to when you're feeling down and need a friend. It will give your singing another dimension, a subtle nuance. Hope that helps.

  • @Quatloo2007 Thanks. Hey, I was nervous; what do you want? I'm an actress, so I know how to do what you're saying. But I just kind of freeze up when the camera starts recording. I do loosen up a bit in my later vids though. Thanks again.

  • wow so warm and rich voice

  • @rcdinh91 Thank you!

  • You nailed another great Carpenters song. You are so fortunate to have a voice and ear for Karen's masterpieces.

  • @TomHbirbeck Thank you so much, Tom!

  • Was about to slate you before you sang, thought another great song slaughtered. But my jaw dropped, your really good.

  • @Amathusukx I'm glad you gave me a chance. Thank you!

  • This is like a diamond....I found in the rough....you knocked that one out...i love this stuff!!

  • @NightThunder2012 Thanks, NT! All the best to you, too!

  • do me a favor .. always smile when you sing .. your beautiful .. go share this great gift girl ! your have a great voice and do a great Karen cover .

  • @CraigBMM Thank you, Craig! Wouldn't it be weird to smile the entire time you're singing a sad song?

  • @songtruth .. aaah but if you listen to it its not a sad song .. she states .. "run and find the one who loves me" . its a song that says hey if your down go find something to cheer you up. she states "this has come and gone before" .. in other words .. i can get through it again. .. love you and your smile :)

  • @CraigBMM Oh, yeah! I forgot! Thanks. :)

  • My G-d, this woman really IS talented. to even attempt to sing a Karen Carpenter song takes a lot of courage, yet she carries it out magnificently. And it does not hurt that she is so very pretty, too.  I think I am in love. Will you marry me? ;-)

  • I love this video!!

    beautiful voice and such a cutie!

  • beauty, i love your covers, make me dream in my memories and fly away... thanks a lot, from veracruz, mexico

  • Hey where're you from, darlin'?

  • Beautiful song and you did it very well. Thumbs up ! You have a beautiful voice, --:)Rod

  • Excellent! Very similar to the original, great job!

  • Thanks to Hank for the awesome share. I truly enjoyed your song.

  • 5 star and shared

  • @HANKWILLIAMS1924 Thanks, Hank!!!!

  • Its a wonderful voice like the sound of angels, thanks for answering back to my email, I always listen to your videos at night time, it gives me peace, God bless

  • @rawa1953 Thank you, Rawa. God bless you, too.

  • Nice voice, but I do not think you sound like Karen Carpenter. Some similar tones... but overall Karen's voice is quite a bit stronger with a rich and deep bodied tone. Fairly good voice although.

  • I hope that someday I will meet you in person and play my guitar along with your wonderful voice, God bless you.

  • @rawa1953 Me too!

  • @rawa1953 I will have a ticket if on general sale lol

  • Great job, i have watched a few of your songs this is the best so far. Oh by the way you have a cracking smile. TTFN

  • @gdboro Thank you, gd!

  • @songtruth your very welcome

  • I just listened to your Downtown cover and thought you sounded a lot like Karen Carpenter, so I had to see this one, and it is amazing!!! You really ought to do voiceovers for her songs in a movie or something. She had a unique sound that can't be duplicated! WOW

  • Geez, you just sound like her... Very nice.

  • You have a nice voice actually. :o)

  • Exceptionally great voice on this tune...love your vibrato. Look more into the camera and add facial expressions and you are a star !....Sing like you are singing to someone's face.

  • You are a very good singer!!! Keep up the good work!

  • Very nice voice....and I must say, very beautiful woman!

  • Preety good singing as usual.

  • Breaks my heart that you can't team up with Richard. Always a great pleasure to hear your sentimental voice!;-)

  • @richardgraves62 Thank you, Richard!!!

  • very sensitive, tender girl..., awesome voice

    1.000.000 stars *****

  • @Comcommer Thank you, C! That's a lot of stars!!!

  • Wow. You look and sound like Karen Carpenter.

  • @thespermdonor Thank you, sperm donor!! haha!

  • @songtruth Any chance you can do a version of Desperado?

  • @thespermdonor I did. They took it down due to copyright infringement!!!

  • @songtruth That's ridiculous! I'm inclined to boycott The Eagles after finding that out!

  • @thespermdonor I know! It may not be the Eagles' fault -- it's the company that owns the rights to the song, which may or may not be the Eagles. YT took another song of mine down, too, and they said if I get a third violation, they will shut down my channel.

  • @songtruth @songtruth That's a shame. :(

    You'll have to be sure not to tread on anyone's toes then. Haha.

  • I just ran across your site. Listening to you made me smile, but was haunting as well. It's hard to touch a stranger with your voice, but you accomplished that with me tonight. Thank you. It was my pleasure listening to you

  • @Kkassulkie Wow, thank you so much for that amazing compliment. That really means a lot to me that my song touched you.

  • Hello from Berlin Germany,

    Make me happy you to have found. Super song!

    Much fun with your music! LG mikealphaone

  • @mikealphaone Hello, Berlin!  Thank you!!!

  • Ha! I just commented on your hearts video that you sound just like Karen! Apparently you knew this already! YAY!

  • @andithebombmom Thank you, bombmom!!!

  • You go, girl!!

  • @michstang1 You know it!!

  • Beautiful tribute.

  • @steelerfanTX Thank you, sftx!

  • I swear. Watching one of your video clips is like watching a familiar tv show and the producer decides to insert a musical interlude by having one of the cast members suddenly break into song. Then, there you are in the library, singing a song reflecting how the day is unfolding for your character in the storyline. Oh, gosh, it's fabulous.

  • @tvviewer46 I like the way you think! Thank you!!!

  • Gorgeous voice!!!:))) You know you do look very much like, Karen Carpenter. Your looks & voice are very elegant! Totally classy! I love you.

  • @Kalepa81 Thank you so much, Kalepa!!!

  • Beautifully sung : )

  • @CuriosityRocks Thank you, CR!

  • Spot on, I love it. A Rainy day once in a while makes the Sunny days that much Sunnier and a Monday is fine...Just pretend it's Saturday and have a Party :)

  • @steelydrwu Haha! Good idea! Thanks, steely!

  • I think your voice is similar, but I don't think that is what makes this video so great. I think what puts this video over the other covers on youtube is the fact that you sing it with the right amount of panache. This song is kind of sad, yet kind of romantic, which is a very difficult thing to convey. But you get the mood perfect. Very cool.

  • @JohnDUskglass Wow, big compliment, John! Thank you so, so much!!

  • USA. has many wonderful singers but Karen Carpenter was the sweetest and most privileged voice. By listening to you. I relive the freshness of her incomparable voice. Thanks friend songtruth

  • rehearsing their performances and truth are beautiful. Thanks again 'by such great gifts. Take care please

  • if you kept the key the same as the first few opening lines without climbing would make it better in my opinion but well done but more with the blues would work wonders,

  • Your voice is well suited for any Carpenters' song. Karen herself would enjoy listening to you.

  • you are superb ... so much heart and soul! i think you sound as close to KC as i've ever heard.  keep singing. you have fans out here.

  • Wow! I have'nt heard anyone cover Karen as well as you. I feel like I just discovered a gem! Keep em comin.  Greg

  • a solid 9.9

  • Thank you for letting me know about the Carpenter covers. Your very talented. Not a whole lot of people can even attempt Karen. But you do a wonderful job. Thanks again, it was a pleasure to listen.

  • Sorry for my "basic inglish", but ...your cover its so fantastic, you can play that song with a lot of feelling, i can feel a lot of emotions with your cover, very very nice!, congratulations!

  • ITs better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all

    If she wasnt so pretty Id be in the bath tub slashing my wrists

    Song is the only girl I know that can sing heart break songs and makes me happy

    send this video to everyone you know and cheer them upShe got a heart of soul

    JoeyMo

  • what a pleasure.

  • Very nice!*****

  • The Carpenters material seems to fit your voice. I think you are very talented and should record a couple of songs in the studio.

  • Thank you for Songtruth resurrect The Carpenters with your voice ... a very beautiful song and you too. :)

  • is this carpenter? sounds exactly like her..excellent!

  • Well done! The 70's put out a lot of well remembered mellow songs, like you have here.

  • thank you, rse! i love 70s music!

  • I agree, you are pretty. I have to be honest in saying that's the initial reason why I clicked on your video! LOL But really, this was a good cover. I love this song and I've been trying to cover it on guitar. It's really hard.

    Anyways, cool cover.
