  • Karen. You will be remembered forever. RIP

  • This is a pretty good cover.

  • always was a xmas song to me..

  • What a marvellous spirit - marvellous voice. She's out there somewhere, I hope, I hope, I hope....

  • @Seanklang She is. No need to hope so much!

  • zOMG!!!! AMAZING!!!

  • Still my favorite female vocalists especially during the holidays. Who says nothing good could come out of Downey? : )

  • What a tragic end for such a alluring sensitive soul.Girls you need to realise how beautiful you all are to real men.

  • no diss. but at 1.27 didnt karen look like a grey>>

  • The day the Music Died R.I.P Karen.

  • @fsa74pjl39 Wow, I never really thought what you just said, but I think you could be right.

  • :'( Makes me cry! I miss you Karen A LOT!!! You're amazing! Everyone loves your voice!! YOU INSPIRE ME!!!! <3 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • The radio station I listen to played this song and the Chipmunk's Christmas Hula Hoop song practically back to back this morning. I suppose it's a little odd.

  • she has a gift her voice was exellent

  • ♥♥♥♥♥Karen♥♥♥♥♥

  • simply magic

  • This song proves that Karen can sing about anything such as aliens and I will listen.

  • originally by Klaatu..but Karen's voice was so beautiful...What can I say (wipes away a tear)

  • great I like it

  • so sadly missed

  • i love Richard's misucal arrangements in this song!

  • There is only one Karen and she is right here and will always be !!!

  • This was the Carpnters trying to cash in on the alien glam-rock thing that Bowie and the other glam rockers had going on,....with disastrous results. Pretty weird and funny though.

  • @metronomic1 - You may well have a point, yet its still another great opportunity to hear Karen's voice, this song as many were wrote for her and I cannot imagine who else could have done it justice if, they had turned it down

  • Wot a waste Karen .. "The Voice"

  • @TheTWIX0

    So sad she died at a very young age. Her voice was magic.

  • to me the most beautiful and unique female singer I've ever heard

  • Comment removed

  • They aren't saying either baby or maybe- -they're saying "ready"

  • Why isn't this on the Voyager space crafts?

  • we are observing your earth....and wed like to make ....acontact with you......BABY!

  • @mattismyname1984

    I was never sure if the aliens said "baby" or "maybe"! It does sound like baby but I guess to me maybe made great sense. :-)

  • @MXB2001

    I guess it's 'baby' bcz he call him/her/it 'babe' several times...

  • what a unique song for the carpenters, but karens beautiful voice lends a statelyness and class to it.

  • @timetravellingone Oh my god!What a beautiful voice!

    

  • awesome intro

  • such a waste of life....poor soul...I m missing her voice so much!!!

  • What a voice. Amazing what can be achieved musicly without black SUV's and baseball caps.

  • I love this song :D

  • *karen

    xD omg i feel stupid! lol I meant karen fgs! -_-

  • Carol carpenter had the most beautiful voice! <3

  • Haha I was a right space cadet when I was a kid and this track sent me into a trance... now I can appreciate just how great her voice is...

  • cool

  • ya gotta love the crooners. I loves me some Godsmack and Metallica and such. But one must leave space on the shelf for the Karens and Neils and Franks. Look you can even hate a Manilow tune, but you gotta admit that the boy can sing. Karen was my first crush. C'mon she sounds like a goddess, she's cute, and she plays drums! The world is a diminished place without her.

  • הצועד בנעליו - 22:02 - מוגבל

    תנועת N נהפכה בכמה מקומות שבהם הצליחו המהפכות שלה לממסד, וככלל חלק מ'השוטר החדש' של היקום שאמור היה בתרגום כללי של ססמאותיו להיות יותר ליברל-סוציאלי כלפי תושבי 'מעמד האמצע' של היקום (שכלל גם את האדמיים) לעומת 'האדונים הפיאודליים' של הסדר הקודם. פלנטות לא מעטות קיבלו עליהן כבר בהתחלה את 'השוטר החדש' ונראה שכל זה לא היה קורה ללא קיומה של מערכת תקשורת בינכוכבית מפותחת שיכלה כבר קודם לתאם, אם כי השימושים שלה לא היו כל כך נגישים קודם לתקופת המפץ הזאת.

  • Could you imagine her an Kylie minogue Singing together! What a killer duo!

  • I listen to the Carpenters when I want to hear my mum's voice. Mum sounded like Karen.

  • All this time and govt's still deny their existence!

  • YES YES YES

  • Her voice was from another planet. Good old days!

  • @aek1928 heavenly.

  • What a flashback! LASERIUM did some of the effects seen in this video.THANKS

  • I miss her soooooooo much this was one of my faves I get chills when I hear it, this woman was such a loss to the world it isn't fair how many good ppl we have lost so young to this biz. Her voice haunts me forever Love her !

  • Nice voice and so clear pronunciation. This is my favorite song...

  • An absolutely fantastic song her voice is timeless.

  • Comment removed

  • A + A + A + A + A + A + A + A + A + A + A + A + and a whole lot more,. simply outstanding singer, i would go as far to say, probably the best female pop singer of all time !!!!!!!

  • Incredible singer. Will we ever have another songstress who can dip seamlessly into that rich lower register that Karen did?  No, I think not in my lifetime. Ann Murray was the only other singer who could do that so well.

  • If I Were an Alien this is how i would like to be contacted

  • No one, I mean NO ONE can speak like those aliens.

  • @lucasrvdonato They could easily speak to us, but they probably don't actually exist for an endless plethora of reasons, though they might.

  • "Calling occupants of interplanetary craft"........You might just want to give 'This' planet a swerve.

    I'd keep looking for another one if I were you!!

    Lovely song, great voice.

  • I LOVE CARPENTERS1!!

  • can anyone come close to this voice?????

  • brian cox's wonder of the solar system the final episode

  • A time when pop stars wrote their songs, could sing, play instruments and didn't walk around in there knickers to get our attention. True class lives forever.

  • It was a time when the human spirit was yet to be leashed by the billboard, the corporation, and the celeb.

    I love it. And always will.

    ed

  • I REMEMBER WATCHING THEIR TV SHOW.....WONDERFUL TIMES BEING A KID IN THE 70S!

    SHE WAS A CLASS ACT, WHICH IS SO FAR REMOVED FROM THE TRASHY SLUTS TODAY IN MUSIC......HOW SAD INDEED; IF ONLY WE COULD REGRESS AND CONCENTRATE ON BEING MORE RESERVED LOOKING AND NOT SO MUCH T & A ALL THE TIME FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.

    KIDS TODAY HAVE MISSED, UNFORTUNATELY, A VERY IMPORTANT BOAT THAT ONLY PEOPLE AS IN MYSELF, NOW IN THEIR MID TO LATE 40S KNOW ALL TO WELL.

  • @silicon605 you are so so right............ the class and pure sophistication of this era of music is unmatched. I am an indian classical musician and that has remained unchaged for centuries , please give that a try i think you mighht like it ......

  • Unreal song... Love this so much.. xxx

  • It is so sad that Karen died so young but her voice is one of those special gifts that we get to keep forever.

  • best song ever

  • Listening to this song and for the first time @ 3:01 I can hear Scissor Sisters 'Laura' in there.

    Always loved this song.

  • @neil73 No disrespect, but you understand that this song pre-dated the Scissor Sisters by about 30 years, right? Excellent that a fan of the Scissor Sisters can also be a fan of The Carpenters.

  • @zachary1215 yes, I do. but I was just commenting upon the similarity between the two 'riffs' in both songs. The scissors almost certainly were inspired by the Carpenters on their song 'Laura'. BTW, I'm 38 so I do vaguely remember the carpenters being around the first time, as it were.

  • This is sooooo seventies/ eighties, like E.T. and Close encounters etc...I can almost see Carl Sagan frowning on it and then, once he had heard Karen's voice, his face breaking into a beaming smile :)

  • I remember been in agony with toothache and my mam rushing me to the dentist, and this record was on, in the waiting room. Sadly my mam passed away but i still smile when i hear it.

  • Our civilization has become a beacon that identifies our planet has home to Life...

  • The Original version is better, look up Klaatu. They did it first and they did it best. Listen to everybody took a holiday if you like this song.

  • why did u hav to listen to those critics, your beautiful in every way karen x

  • i agree it does leave me wanting more!

  • Wonderful arrangement, big sound without being overdone and it leaves you wanting more.

  • Come on down we'll crack a bottle o guid sippin whisky fi Glenkinchie |:

  • I don't mind being invaded if it was through this.

  • triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiip

  • Telepathy is sending thoughts, words, as messages which are received through CHANNELING, called like this because channels are opened for the human to communicate. I also receive through my heart, and my hand. But what we really do is DECODIFY UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES.

    It is possible to receive messages from Jesus, Gautama Buda, Zaratustra and other high spiritual beings, also receive their ENERGY which has healing power, and can create consciousness. Above all it is LOVE.

    Why are you scared?

  • Our challenge is to come out from darkness, call it IGNORANCE, and grow in Light, call it ILLUMINATION, understanding who and what we really are, and why we EXIST. Human life is just a FACE of existance. Our challenge as human beings is to accept this and gradually open our mind and heart to another paradigma, elevate our frequency enough to abandon EARTH and our temporary body of flesh and bones and without death as we know it, turn into BEINGS OF LIGHT, and ascend to other dimensions.

  • @SahraCosmica 'kay, Babe.......you get started and we'll catch ya on the flip side. Have the keg chilled when we get there. Appreciate the hell out of it, Babe. or, maybe, Dude !

  • Human beings are not the only "beings" in the Universe. There are many other forms of life or races, and I am not talking of religion. SPIRITUALITY. Satan and God are words made by MAN, according to his own limited interpretation of EXISTENCE IN COSMOS. One of you mention religion and call themselves Angel and your language is totally unnecessary.

    Good and Evil exist in lots of dimensions. Light and love prevail over power of darkness, and experiencing all is our challenge.

    Telepathy is real.

  • lmfaoooooo lol

  • Tele pathic communications the new 2011 phone, no bills,hidden contracts or listening devices attached D;]

  • the song is kinda daft, but her voice is absolutely the song is kinda daft, but her

  • taqueopariu esta é muito linda

  • Have not heard this in 30+ years! Thank you for a great memory, and an awesome video!

  • didnt realixe till now this was carpenters...amazing.

  • What an extraordinary song!!?!

  • Was this on a concept Lp by any chance ?

  • OMG ANOTHER GEM!!!!!! :) love this one sooooooooooooo much :)

  • As dissapointing as it may seem to most, war in the Universe is a true fact. The situation is now at a critical stage. All beings who help expand LIGHT are in danger at the moment. You must elevate your FREQUENCY TO HIGHER LEVELS and if in danger MENTALLY CALL GALACTIC FEDERATION AND SAHRA for protection. The best you can do is keep a positive atitude, and REJECT BAD THOUGHTS IMMEDIATELY. Keep in emotional equilibrium.THIS IS A WORLD WIDE ALERT for our WARRIORS.

  • @SahraCosmica *cough* Doosh, play it cool...

  • Whenever I've heard this song on the radio, the opening sequence featuring the DJ on the phone to 'Mike Ledgewood' is always cut. Can't think why... :-}

  • No one, I mean NO ONE can sing like this woman.

  • @Beckiimonstaaa cant agree more

  • @Beckiimonstaaa i agree and so does my dad this woman had one unique voice and no one could ever duplicate it

  • @Beckiimonstaaa or write music like he does!

  • @Beckiimonstaaa

    Damn right!

  • @Beckiimonstaaa And wow is she gorgeous too!

  • I've never seen her look more beautiful than in this video. And it is captured forever. Lucky us.

  • det er der noget om

  •  This voice cannot be replaced ever!

  • @heidi9272744 thats true.

  • Stunning voice. She just needed to down a few a more pies.

  • Loving this....

  • This song was a cover of a song by a Canadian Prog band..KLAATU!

  • She's scary

  • @TheWayshower1982 There is only one God. You are not it. I am not it. I ask you. What would God say if another race from another dimension suddenly showed up.

  • @wotmeworry333123456 WE ARE ALL ONE.

  • @wotmeworry333123456

    As a matter of fact they do show up, they materialize. Good and bad. There are lots of beings protecting EARTH, but in spite of that, they do materialize sometimes.

    Galactic Federation is on constant watch, particularly now that we are in finnal stages for ascension of our planet and those human beings who are ready for it. Our enemies are becoming desperate. We shall triunf.

  • @SahraCosmica

    La humanidad esta cada vez más preparada para los cambios evolutivos en otras realidades, en otros mundos, yo creo que ya es hora de que nos dejemos de supercherias antiguas, dogmas que no llevan a ningún lado, y le demos la mano al cambio, a la verdad realidad, todos somos hijos del universo, y todos tenemos derecho a ser parte del universo. Luz galactica

  • Comment removed

  • @SahraCosmica

    Humanity is gradually preparing for evolution changes in other realities, in other worlds. I believe it is time to end old deceitful beliefs, dogmas which lead nowhere, and we give a hand to change, tu reality truth, we are all children of the universe, and all have right to be part of it.

    Luz galáctica: galactic light

  • @laura5623 The universe? you mean earth which God created for his people, children and adults are seperate.

    Gods people have the only right to live on earth and the rest are inbreeded jinns of different origins but all from satan and they will return back to hell

  • @AnnAAngel1564 Shut the fuck up with religious bull-shit... It's starting to get bloody annoying now -.-

  • calling ocu pants

  • haha

  • yeahhhhh ;]

  • i loved it too, so i liked strange music at times when i was young, however its spilled over into my adult life too as well, and if it werent for youtube, i would not b able to re hear all the songs i grew up with-so than yous to all the people who bring to us music from our younger days : )

  • DAMN ANOREXIA

  • Intresting. AAAA Ummm The Daisy Pong Has Turned. Pissed, Don't Know What Term To Use But It's Time 9 X In Jeopardy Through Sexuality. Heaven Is Gone A Fact. Time Never Had And Piano Playede With Cool Notes. Damn. Hell Awaits. Lets Just Wait It Might Change???

  • @OldRaveMaterial is your name Jared Loughner? LOL

  • I was very late in enjoying the Carpenters. This was the first record I bought while it was on the charts in the fall of 1977! I learned about Klaatu in the summer of 1980. The next record I bought was "Make Believe It's Your First Time" in late 1983, a posthumous (for Karen) hit.

  • Great song, just heard it on the radio and checked youtube to hear it again.

  • ***AMAZING***

    ☜♥☞ wish you a great weekend☜♥☞

    Thank you very much!

  • man i remember this song when i was 2. this used to be my moms favorite song. and now its mine

  • 30 people dont like ET :O(

  • @nova65350 hey i love ET two. i remember when it first came out i watched it over and over, and still do.

  • This song was originally written and recorded by a band named Klaatu. Not to diss the carpenters, but the Klaatu version is far better than this cover by the carpenters.

  • This dj in thei video is like mad lol

  • This song fucking happened ?!?

  • deserves a LOT more views  she's much better than all the rap crap today!!!

  • 天妒紅顏

  • Gone far too young.

  • I listened to this on 208 radio Luxembourg I used to wounder if "they" were listening too lol

  • all the best singers (john lennon, karen carpenter, bob marley, gibb,) died young . and what was left to us are a bunch of mediocre auto tune singers. what a shame i grew in the 90's

  • I know this song is older then dirt but it is still cool.

  • really like this viedo ........

  • She looked like an angel

  • I was really into this song at a time when I was in middle school andmost of my classmates were either listening to Metalica, Nirvana, REM, Green Day, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Snoop Dog, Notorious BIG, Tupok, N W A or all of them at once. Not me. I was the nonconformist who listened to Carpenters. and, this was one of my favorite songs of theirs.

  • good 70's tune accept 4 da intro.

  • a cover from klaatu no wonder The Day the Earth Stood Still used it as main character name! GOOD CONNECTION i think

  • BOLD

  • Talent like Karen Carpenter doesn't exist anymore.

  • You Will Always Be In My HEART ♥

  • I hear this song when i was 13 and now im 15, and i still like it so much!!

    I love Karen Voice. ♥

  • @johntheboymac. I agree with every word you say. It is so sad that someone with a such an astonishing talent should have died at such a young age. Her life was short but her legacy will live on for all eternity.

  • I doubt if we will ever hear a voice like karens again.Her voice is as near perfect as perfect can be. Angelic it was and so beautiful also.She was a big loss to the music world.There was something spiritual about her lovely self also.

  • I was stuck in Iraq on a bus for hours one night. This song was playing over and over. I think the bus driver had a thing for it. This song is now known among my squad as the "Song That Shall Not Be Spoken Of"......
