CHUBBY SISTER? CHUBBY SISTER? SHE WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE!

The person that called her chubby, is a stupid, dinosaur poop, asshole who has no intention of living.

I always said that the media and public were at fault for Karen's death. She was already showing signs of anorexia, but being called names like that in the media is what threw her into overdrive. It's a shame she met such a tragic end. She was far from fat. Though this music was long before my time I've always loved The Carpenters since the first time I heard them. God bless you Karen!

I was just thinking, "gosh, if they just hadn't called her fat, then maybe she wouldn't have suffered and maybe would still even be alive." It then occurred to me that although her death was tragic, it probably saved the lives of millions of girls/women because of the awareness.

Poor thing. She looks good to me. It's a shame how shallow this society is and how it has been for a long time, ruining a lot of lives in the process.

@BabyDayDay31382 I truly believe that the media and the business makes most of them develop eating disorders and addictions. It truly does. Because the media loves perfection. It's such a backstabbing industry.

@daynolism they used karens vocals on it!

[skystarless]

I will never understand why they couldn't just put her damn drum kit in the front if they were really concerned about the audience seeing her! Putting her drums in the front or on a raised platform would have been just fine. It's not like she couldn't play-- she was very good!
