Of course there's no mics. This was a variety show and she taped all her parts. Just like there isn't really two Karen Carpenter's in the video. You're missing the point! Her first love was drums. She was an accomplished jazz drummer/percussionist! Read the book'"Little girl blue." We lost an amazing talent too soon! She barely scratched the surface of what she could do!!!

laugh at them cuz they listen to justin gaybieber

It would have been nice to have two Karens.

We may still have one replacement Karen today.

Better then Travis Barker. And Im being serious

[dizzaztergirl]

Seems she also had a great sense of humor! :)

[Andrew Waber]

nothing hotter than a chick drummer

Thank God for Justin Beiber. He proves that you can become wealthy on the stupidity of people.

Carpenter had more talent in her fingernails than most of the stars have today, combined.

I have never seen this. It sure explains her wonderful sense of rhythm and timing. She was a drummer and a really good one. She lit up the world with her music and smile, we really lost her much too soon. Heaven got another beautiful voice ! Thank you for posting this !!!

who can compare to that today? Without voice enhancing etc... norah jones gets close... but to me Karen is the Top

[lee32ful]

how she did that and sing in that perfect voice at the same time.... I am just awed over Karen Carpenter, you beautiful girl u bring tears xx

[Leigh Via]

I want to drum as good as her. Maybe i'll make it to symphonic band. or even the Purcussion ensamble.

She already was anorexic.
