  • Voice as clear as glass.

  • God bless Karen. What a voice. And Dr. Pooler who worked with her at CSULB

  • Please go eat

  • @NYKID10014 she died.

  • @NYKID10014 I hope you are not really that cruel of a person.

  • Welcome Home Troops U.S.A

  • HI EVERY ONE HAVE A HAPPY XMAS TO EACH AND ONE OF U GUYZ :)

  • Merry Christmas to you too ...

  • I dedicate this song to all our soldiers fighting for our country <3 Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! o<II:]

  • Can't imagine that in the beginning her brother wanted her to be in the back ground playing the drums. What a wonderful voice.

  • @Kflygrand1 No - Actually SHE wanted to be in the background, or at least playing drums. Richard suggested (to opposition from Karen) that she should front the group, as he knew her voice was the main focus. They supposedly compromised, where she would front the group on "ballads", yet still play drums on more upbeat songs. I maintain the drums were her main identity, and she felt more insecure without them. In the later years, you almost never saw her on drums (unfortunately).

  • @greenwich1754 Thanks Greenwich1754 I stand corrected!! Still what a wonderful voice!

  • I so love Karen and her voice makes me cry x

  • oh shes fat

  • MEY CHISTMAS HAITE

    NO REMORSE

  • 1:53 Luke Skywalker? Merry Xmas in space!!

  • I loved Karen then and now!

  • so beautiful

  • I am writing this for my mother.....Karen Carpenter was without a doubt one of my moms favorite singers.....I remember when she would sit and listen to her Christmas cd and just cry ........she always said Karen had the voice of an Angel and she does........one of a kind and there will never be another Karen Carpenter........God Bless You Karen for giving the world such a wonderful gift......your beautiful voice.........

  • @arfies Great idea and so thoughtful. Ev was one of Karen's biggest cheerleaders and was like a mother to her. She was treated so poorly by Richard after Agnes was gone. It's a shame. Ev was the voice of the Carpenters to fans all over the world for many, many years.

  • Karen lives!!!

  • she knew how to hold a note.and she sung from the heart

  • karen's voice is timeless

  • thank god we have memerys

  • nice choir back up too

  • You'd have to have a glass eye not to shed a tear in this melencoly song sung so emotionally by Ms. Carpenter.

  • What a beautiful voice she had and how she brightened the holidays.

  • i accidentally the whole thing

  • I'll be home for Christmas,if only in my dreams.Great Christmas song,amazing version.Thanks,and a Merry Christmas to all.

  • RIP Karen - the very best female pop vocalist ever!

  • Ahhhh yes, this is my Karen at her best. She loved recording all of the Christmas material even though it was done during the Summertime in Sunny California. Perfect high notes and lush rolling lows are simply sublime. One of the finest singers who along with her brother Richard have left us an amazong legacy of music that bears up year after year. Such a rotten loss...

  • i love carpenters, one of my favorite, and i love all their songs

  • Merry Christmas, Honey ♥

  • A voice for the ages, incredible, one of the best voices bar none, wish she were still here today making beautiful music, just brings out the Christmas spirit in me whenever I hear her singing this song.

  • And one more thing....18 dislikes?.. That is amazing to me.

  • I sat here and listened to Karen sing these Christmas songs with tears in my eyes. I don't know if anybody sings these songs better. I know nobody sings ""Merry Chirtmas Darling better. We miss you still Karen

  • Beautiful ....Thankyou : ) xx

  • The best Christmas song of all times. Fantastic voice, arrangement and all. The whole album of Carpenters Christmas songs is very good and innovative.

  • I remember the day she died in 1983. Man where does the time go?

    RIP Karen

  • I miss her so. I always tear up when I hear her or Selena Gomez sing. So sad their beautiful voices were extinguished so early in their lives.

  • is any body having trouble when you click on view all comments? give me some infro.

  • Growing up in the early 70's, we always heard her voice on the radio with her beautiful voice and the songs that just made you feel good; you just don't hear much like that anymore.

  • What a voice Karen had.....she will always be missed! I have The Carpenters double Christmas CD and its my FAVORITE Christmas album of ALL TIME!!!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!

  • The incomparable Karen Carpenter. One of the most beautiful and inspiring voices of all time. She is missed! Blessings to her family this Christmas Season.

  • We miss you Karen! Have a great Christmas everyone!!!!

  • Just brilliantly magical!

  • Every Christmas, Karen makes a very special visit with her warm, memorable voice. She loved Christmas, and Christmas is much more special because of her.

  • 18 losers

  • I think most singers would pass out if they tried to hold their notes as long as she did.

    Anyway Merry Christmas from Los Angeles.

  • why oh why did she have to think she was too fat? The most beautiful voice I've ever heard!

  • Karen, I miss you so much... :( xx

  • Though the Carpenters are long before my time.I've always felt loved there music.And have always felt especially close to Karen

  • Love you Karen!

  • I love this song, but can never listen to it without crying,

  • @shirl328

    Me too........

  • @shirl328 ..Dammit! Me neither!

  • @shirl328 Lol, me to. It reminds me of childhood times, when everything in life seemed to be very easy and you felt very much loved by everyone. It makes you feel like a child again. Songs like this make me feel right at home.

  • @user2090z Moreover, it makes me feel loved by God.

  • Voice of an angel, Merry Christmas with Jesus karen!

  • This song just stops me in my tracks. Karen's voice has that effect on me. She takes me to another place and time.

  • @Tracevidence1 her voice was magical, Karen was well known for going into the studio and cutting a track in one take......that's talent, no one today can even come close to Karen Carpenter!!

  • @Tracevidence1 Your absoultely right, she has a perfect voice. I hope she is leading the choir on the shores of heaven

  • @Tracevidence1 Absolutely- The most mesmorizing captivating voice I've ever heard.

  • a lady to be sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You'll be home for Christmas? I'm there!

  • There are current performers with similar standards of performance as Karen but not amongst the ranks of those like GAGA. Notice how nothing in her delivery is forced, every word can be clearly heard and the song's meaning understood.

  • I cried every time when i watch this video.

  • R.I.P Karen Anne Carpenter <3

  • I agree with you mid. Lady gaga really sucks! her and that stupid Justin kid..

  • They tried to interview Richard. But he refused. I guess he just wants to be left alone. Let Karen "rest in peace". I agree with him.

  • Such a loss ... that beautiful stunning voice !!!

  • karen rocks! As far as Gaga goes he cant hold a candle in the wind to her

  • KAREN CARPENTER fué admirable y su dulce voz cautivó a todos en la NAVIDAD del mundo.

  • Poor Karen :(

  • so, there are 18 people out there who either hate Christmas or can't stand a talented singer.

  • My grandparents knew Karen Carpenter.

    Karen Carpenter babysat my mom.

    True story I swear.

  • a Major Talent .  In her own league.

  • Her voice is a miracle!

  • Eternally Karen

  • Have a look at Bug1156 sound more like Karen Carpenter than Claire De La Fuente.

  • Karen Carpenter so would own Lady Ga Ga!!!! NO QUESTION!

  • eat your heart out Lady GA GA!!!!!! 

  • A true voice of an ANGEL !!!

  • Karen Carpenter wow! Sure do miss the Carpenters....

  • She has no equal, or no next Karen. She is one of a knid and can't be duplicated. She is truely a Angel. She is missed still to this day!!!

  • I know that she will be remembered for many reasons but mine is the VOICE..our loss thanks 4 posting

  • those who are fans of Karen Carpenter, listen to this singer Claire Dela Fuente...she is not Karen wannabe...she's original..

  • Listen to this singer...Claire de la Puente "Sayang"..she comes close..to Karen...even Richard tried her....but never materialized...

  • Not just a great Christmas song - one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

  • Simple.....voice of an anger.......Hopefully you have the peace that eluded you here.

    RIP

  • @lizzymar73 I hear you and had similar memories. The Christmas parties we had in school and how spirited everyone was, priceless. Now it's all commercialized and politically corrected garbage, but I manage to escape it and make Christmas my own now, thankfully.

  • Her voice never ceases to amaze me, wow!

  • Real Christmas Music!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BEAUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL,BEAUTIFUL! ABSOLUTELY DYNAMITE! MY FAVORITE FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIMES! I'LL LOVE HER AND MISS HER FOREVER. REST IN SWEET PEACE.

  • hearing this great music from the one and only karen carpenter..brings me back home on a christmas day with my loved ones..>_<

  • Fantastic voice. Died way to young.Sure is better than the trash music we now hear.

  • She didn't have to scream, or yell, to be heard!

  • @renew2day Exactly, unlike Whitney Houston, bleh. Karen's talent was just remarkable.

  • i really missed christmass time spending with my family,brothers and sisters!! beautiful song, i love it.

  • Just beautiful..

  • Yes I'll be home for Christmas..... Christmas in the Philippines is the best Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

  • @airwinplastic The same to you my friend.

  • The Voice of a ......"Angel"

  • I wish I could have saved here JC

  • Karen is wonderful <3

  • 17 people know nothing about great music.

  • Every time I hear Karen's magical voice, I instantly daydream 8)

  • I've missed her glorious and angelic voice, not to mention here sweet beauty, since the first day she passed away! What a Godgiven talent she had!! KAREN, WE STILL MISS YOU TODAY AS MUCH AS EVER!  The world lost something very special the day it lost you!!!

  • Well here I am listening to this song on the last day of April! Nice!

  • @poppa8169 Got you beatXD I'm listening on the 16th of August

  • @poppa8169 Nothing wrong with that!

  • The greatest voice of all time.

  • @sebastianpellegrene Well, since sound recording. Before then, we have no way of knowing. She is certainly one of the very finest.

  • Karen, I want you home for Christmas, but my wish will never come true

  • The greatest alto voice in world history! Dawn

    Upshaw and Kiri TeKanawa are great in their

    own way, but Karen Carpenter was a one-of-a-

    kind, and she'll never be equalled. Her type will

    never be seen or heard again. Rest in peace,

    my angel.

  • @avaxtakaka c'è un angelo in piu' in cielo grazie Karen

  • @avaxtakaka pls explain alto voice

  • @avaxtakaka I totally agree. God bless you for the love in your heart for her.

  • I Can't listen to this song, without getting teary eyed. Karen just killed this song, she just sang the soul out of what this song is all about. It makes me think of friends & family that are long gone, and will never be back, but not because they don't want to be here.

  • @tomwills100 you hit the nail on the head for me as well

    its a big lump in my throat song

  • @tomwills100 Karen Carpenter was one of the greatest

    singers in world history. Why-oh-why did she have to die

    so young? Had she lived longer, think of all the great

    music that she still had left in her. What a tragic loss!

  • @karkkipussi1000 She IS the greatest !

  • @felipeco20 I agree 100%!

  • Nicely done! The beauty of the pictures matches the beauty of Karen's interpretation of this Christmas classic.

  • God Bless you Miss. Carpenter. You dear sweet lady! You can sing in heaven now.

  • My parents introduced me to this Angel...My eyes well up to so many of her songs still today...Mom, Dad, thanks for many endless years of awesomeness, with Karen and with you.

  • No other voice was comes close to Karen's angelic voice. No one can sing like this angel.

  • Merry Christmas!  YULETIDE PRAISE

  • Merry Christmas

  • her voice is was and is still amazing it sucked to here from my dad how she died may she rip and may her beautiful live on.

  • What a beautiful person and a beautiful voice. We all miss her. We lost her far too soon.

  • merry xmas everyone...pls be safe

  • Merry Christmas to all!

  • God told me Karen knows shes greatly loved still, so I asked Him to let her sing again someday for us in Heaven. Get to Know Jesus first, thats the only way u get up there u know, Lets all hear Karen again! MERRY CHRISTMAS

  • @MasterAceman123456 Praise the Lord Jesus! He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords forever. Hallelujah!

    (God rest Karen's soul.)

  • 2 Days till Christmas!!!! :D

  • The greatest female singing voice ever, period. !!!

  • @greg4161 Totally agreed!! 

  • My goodness, this was sung with such beauty!!!!!!!!

  • merry christmas to everyone let us show the real meaning of christmas

  • A most beautiful version of a Christmas classic by one of the greatest female voices of the last 100 years. She will always be remembered.

  • Karen was an angel on loan from Heaven just to sing briefly to us. We were blessed by her presence. She and Donny Hathaway were two great singers with amazing voices who left the earth way too soon.

  • died of anorexia

  • There never was and never will be a voice like Karen's. So pure andwith such perfect pitch. So sad that she had to leave us. I still listen to her all the time.

  • @Sandyc3838 I agree. There is no beating Karen's voice it is so clear and absolutely beautiful in its distinct style that separates her from all others though there are many great singers out there both male and female. Such a sad, sad end to a wonderful lady with a voice that could melt icebergs. We miss you Karen and we still love you!!!

  • @52Mik Best singer ever....God has an angel for the choir...

  • Karen now sings with the angels...R.I.P.

  • i saw them live outside in Dallas 30 years ago, and they were fabulous. Such talent. She was taken way too soon. RIP Karen

  • I still recall the first time I ever hear Karen sing... on an Advertisement on TV.. for Bank of America I think... then it seemed like overnight the "Carpenters" rose to World Wide sucesss... though I love many Christmas Albums... it's Karen's that goes on first and embodies Christmas for me... saw them once live in San Francisco... wonderful... though not exactly Filmore and pretty square to admit back in the 60's

  • Karen Carpenter was truly the best female singer in the music business. She left us way too soon.

  • an angel who died before her time, the world lost a great voice and artist the day she died
