  • Karen was a one of a kind. Streisand performed We Only Just Begun on one of her albums in the 70s. It never came close.

  • What's so awesome is that Karen was so perfect that her live songs sound almost exactly like the studio versions. This is one of the many reasons nobody can cover the Carpenters without looking lame.

  • From what I've seen, Karen's presentation didn't need "some work". Also, what she needed was for more people to not be controlling her. If it was tough to see her, she should have been elevated, like Ringo Starr. Watching live performance videos, you can see how much Karen loved the drum-playing.

  • Believe it or not theres a taiwanese singer (who sings english as well) sounds 95 percent like Karen.

  • She didn't believe she had a great voice!? Wow... Wouldn't it have been nice if Karen cared more about her wonderful talents then her own body image? RIP Karen :(

  • When I was a kid I thought all the songs Karen Carpenter sang were about herself. Now I realize her voice was so sincere.

  • I don't see anything wrong with the photo album on Close to You. Richard it was after all the seventies.

  • Karen's presentation needed some work? I don't think so! Hearing her sing, sounding and looking like an angel is one thing, but doing this while also playing the drums, is simply amazing!

  • If I ever see a documentary on Carpenters without someone describing them as "squeaky clean", I'll chew my own toes off.

  • I don't get it, I love to see her behind drums, as also much people do! why did they want to control her so bad? :/ She is a legend and what she did... I mean a woman drumming and singing at the same time... it's legendary! she's an icon!

  • boy, she was singin that song wasnt she?!

  • the miraculous clarity that amazes you so and seems to separate her miles from other singers is coming from her spirit-- it wasn't clouded with typical industry vanity, callousness, or something jaded-- this was a kind of vocal crystalline purity which happens RARELY
