    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!!!

    It would have been nice to have two Karens.

    We may still have one replacement Karen today.

    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 !!!
