HARMONY! 🎵 Carpenters - Rainy Days And Mondays REACTION

[@iainweller452]

The Carpenters, that voice, what a talent, sadly missed.

[@Iamageniusru1982]

Such a tragic story

[@FUBAR1986]

Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful and on top of it, the most talented, female drummer, I know besides, a young Japanese girl named Yoyoka

Bought me to tears just hearing her beautiful voice 💕

[@jennyjenny4501]

Karen Carpenter remains the best female vocalist ever. Everything she sings is perfection!

[@raylangley4842]

Absolutely Period

[@Augirl78]

Also the way she conveys the songs. What an angel

[@jonk9154]

Without a doubt!

[@chrisalldis3375]

Hi Jenny, i just love that last note.

[@melodyannherringmcneely7842]

You should hear Eva Cassidy singing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. Or anything else. She too is incredible. And 😢 gone too soon.

[@torreyholmes7205]

Always great to see Brad super animated by the songs that really hit him.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Brads has been pretty upbeat lately. Getting ready and excited about being a father. 👍

[@coolmomjj48]

Exactly!! That got me too. I loved it. I was thinking Brad is letting his softer side in. That is something I've noticed since around the time they found out they were having a boy.

[@Markrealguy51]

This really hit Brad

[@jeffmorse645]

Got chills with that first line she sang. There will never be another like Karen Carpenter.

[@friendtostfrancis]

That's for sure. ❤

[@Chris.Davis.2]

😢

[@markford4253]

Happens with every song she sings

[@timfrazier7589]

The best female voice of all time She suffered mental health issues She thought she was overweight 😢😢

[@timfrazier7589]

There will never be a voice like her voice again 😂😂

[@loristone9242]

I grew up to be a metal head, but this is the music of my childhood, and I still love it. It makes me smile sitting here watching you two take in the greatness of the Carpenters 48 years later. 💖

[@laurak9666]

Well said.

[@bothellkenmore]

My Mom listened to soft rock in the car when she'd drive me around, I know all of it. Also Metal/Grunge are my core but glad I'm well rounded.

[@julieford8788]

She was first a drummer and then singer. Such a beautifully haunting voice. 💙

[@5ricky23]

Carpenters and Heart.... I listen to them almost every day. Live performances are very good.

[@Head-ck4hu]

The vibe is from Richard Carpenter. He's the producer. He was one of the first to use the 8 track to have Karen sing lead and harmony. He always did the arrangements. But none of it would have happened without that voice. Still one of the greatest.

[@kellyzak2375]

One of the greatest vocalists in music history. Her pitch, range and vibrato give me shivers.

[@Bluewizard7131]

What a voice! This is exactly what she sounded like live.

[@galenstone9097]

Our Karen. Gifted, Shy, Fragile.. She took a simple Paul Williams song and made it immortal. Godspeed for one of the purest voices to ever grace pop.

[@blodgettshouseofinsanity]

My favorite songwriter! Paul really wrote amazing songs. Check out, “The Gift (Angel of Life) One of his lesser-known songs, but a beautiful beautiful song

[@kellyhilton2330]

All I can say is keep going!!! Carpenters are the bomb 😁👍♥️

[@josephriley3911]

Those voices from back then sounded so good because they were real and natural..no special effects. And Karens voice was just beautiful.

[@UncleCharlie111x2]

Sure like seeing Brad like this so much!!!!!

[@randyfender6122]

I am SOoo glad you picked this video. One of the rare times we get to hear her angelic voice as she's doing what she loved, playing the drums. Check her out covering Dancin in the Streets when she was only 18. She shows her drum chops better in that one.

[@ganggreen9012]

I haven't seen a reaction to that one yet, I've suggested it a few times.

[@randyfender6122]

@@ganggreen9012 maybe better, especially if you know the songs, is the live, outdoor medley of Burt Bacharach songs. It was at some college, and it looked like she was having a ball, though half the spectators looked like zombies.

[@mikebutler5409]

I think that she had the best female voice ever- so pure, so clear, so smooth.

[@joeburt1106]

They called her "One Take, Karen." She never rehearsed on the way to studio. Just nailed it the first time. And the drums too at the same time. She became the lead singer only reluctantly. Her home was behind the drums. The rest is just so sad. No one compares to the talent this then 20-year-old woman had!

[@chrino21]

The Carpenters were perfect. Just PERFECT.

[@daveli9760]

she was a beautiful person inside and out will always love her.

[@mikeortiz6008]

Karen was so beautiful and her voice was just angelic. We lost her way to soon but her legacy lives on through great reactions like this. RIP Karen We miss you.

[@aks4204]

The Carpenters are the best! Karen Carpenters definitely left us all way too soon. She had the most beautiful voice. Reminds me of being little. Guys we need more old school Pat Benatar!!

[@matthewteague623]

While it's not old school, I'd love to see a review of Pat Benetar / "One Love (Song of the Lion)". Such a constantly overlooked gem.

[@aks4204]

@@deepsix1827 Poor Linda, such a sad story. Thankfully we have her music. She too is amazing.

[@leonardjeffreys1546]

Karen was the best of the best. No other voice as beautiful as hers.

[@warwickhunt]

Gold standard right here, the emotion she conveys is heartbreaking, such an intimate production and feels like she's pouring her heart out

[@elizabethfranco1284]

When she died so officially did my childhood

[@stevenpatrick85]

The Carpenters will always have a special place in my heart. They lived 8 houses down from us growing up and Karen would babysit me and my little brother.

[@jad4680]

karen carpenter is one of only a few voices the planet has experienced as being maternal she sounds like she is a mother singing to her child every time i hear her, such a one off talent. ; )

[@jollyj3285]

Ahhhhh agreed.... total vibe ...I love Karen so much...best voice ever!!!!

[@crisbarber5404]

One of the top 5 greatest female voices in history! She left us way too soon.

[@vpking77]

You are listening to the purest vocalist in over 50 years, No autotune or processing.

[@IanDarley]

One of my favourite things about this channel has been witnessing the change in Brad over time. 18 months ago he would have been blank faced and just not getting or feeling this tune and now his face lights up listening to these new genres and artists that he would never have listened to years ago. They say that music is a language that your brain learns and matures to and if you listen to enough, *everybody* will end up understanding and loving jazz. I'm 56 and not quite there yet, I guess I need to listen to more music 😛

[@IanDarley]

@@emtallmoose9436 Not so much gets and appreciates, but it could be melted to the point that you become a vegetable 😛😛

[@savageman2194]

Yes 🥰🥰

[@davidmeir9348]

Karen Carpenter was such an angelic human being.

[@joepowell7025]

Most of today's female voices are just screaming. Oh and she had no Autotune or any computer help ... Just raw talent.

[@keith6485]

All these years later and I still miss that voice so terribly.

[@ontrack16]

Brad, Karen Carpenter IS a princess. You got it :) ..while drumming? (of which, she was extremely talented but that's a story for another time). Yes, sadly missed and unfortunate. Thank you Brad & Lex :)

[@alexandraozbourne3937]

You will find all their songs are amazing! Such a loss when she died. RIP KAREN CARPENTER

[@fredselbman3319]

She had the voice of an Angel 😇 smooth as silk ❤️ Rest In Peace Karen 🙏🏻

[@alanarakelian5021]

With the Carpenters, less was often more. Understated, yet dynamic.

[@leonardoD81]

She is the only female singer that gives me chills when I hear her. What an amazing talent. RIP Karen, you left us too soon.

[@jimfussell5589]

Brad is right! SUCH a vibe! And what an incredible voice Karen Carpenter had. The depth! The power! The control! That tone! And bang on the note every single time. No auto tuning here. Just crazy, raw talent! Simply one of the best voices ever!

[@thekingcobra63]

Richard Carpenter was amazing at putting those arrangements together.

[@BobbyRagnar]

Another classic from Paul Williams, with Karen Carpenter’s angelic voice.

[@lordnerdicus1617]

The greatest Alto voice ever. It amazed me how she could carry a vibrato that soft and low…

[@gregcable3250]

One of the best pure female vocal talents of the 20th Century--good drummer, too.

[@yambo59]

Karen Carpenters voice was like liquid gold, smoothest female voice ever. We had so much musical talent in the 70's, thumping rap doesnt hold a candle to this eras endless variety of amazing music.

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

To this day I am still in awe of Karen's singing, her low, velvety smooth contralto, so warm, natural and fresh. Richard's instrumental arrangements and production were impeccable. Together they recorded a series of 1970s hits that are, 50 years later unforgettable.

[@willfromyadkinville]

after all these years it is crazy how i am still so captivated by her everything! sorely missed!

[@wendyshores6771]

So eerie to hear her sing about depression so many years after she died. I wish someone could have helped her. Such a terrible disease, anorexia. A voice like this comes once in a lifetime. Great reaction.

[@lumpyfishgravy]

The Carpenters are an American National Treasure.

[@chrisalldis3375]

The best female voice of all time, great accomplished drummer as well, Richard's arrangements just spot on!

[@livenhfree]

What a beautiful voice she had. Just so pure and easy. Brings tears to my eyes.

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Yesterday One More” and “For All We Know” !!!!

[@hanng1242]

Also, "Superstar."

[@jameshelm2847]

I hope Richard Carpenter, the keyboardist, sees these videos and knows how his and his sister's music is still appreciated today and by today's generation.

[@ffjsb]

I don't know that I've seen Brad get that excited during a review. Been enjoying that sound for over 50 years. And actually, sometimes I DO enjoy a rainy day. Just enjoying listening to the rain on the roof, watching the water come down and flow, kinda peaceful, especially if you're sitting on a porch of a cabin in the woods. I like the smell of fresh rain.

[@jonniiinferno9098]

yep - i miss my front porch - it was awesome - had a metal roof - and lots of windows and plenty of chairs to sit on - and we were out in the middle of nowhere - 13 miles to the nearest grocery store

[@Chris.Davis.2]

My Dog hates rainy days, so it makes life difficult in our household. He doesn't know Monday from any other day so no issues there.😊

[@drumbelly]

Brad mentioned “vibey”. Karen Carpenter’s voice felt like she was singing directly to you. She was the master of vibe.

[@kellygirl923]

Nobody today even comes close . Her voice is like listening to an angel. Never received the credit she deserved..

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

She had an extraordinary voice. And she was a great drummer as well. I remember where I was, what kind of day it was, everything, when they came on the radio and announced that she had passed. Such a sad day. The first thing that jumps to your mind is that incredible voice. 😇😇😇 Y'all be safe

[@msaz2720]

That's called "Easy Listening" music . Karen had such a beautiful rich voice, clear as a bell.

The Carpenters are awesome, her voice is so haunting and perfect.

[@raynscloud8072]

Karen's smooth as silk vocals, so full of warmth and emotion, never gets old. And there's something special about anyone who can play rhythm while singing melodically; such different, but complimentary, sounds coming from one person is always super impressive. Talk about using your whole body to create music!

[@Primevals33]

No one sounded like Karen Carpenter and never will. She was one of the best ever..

Glad to see Brad growing in his appreciation of real music. Very gratifying. Carpenters always tug on the heartstrings, (& my favorite bands are Zeppelin and Nirvana... lol).

You ARE starting to know what you're talking about. I'm 57, and I grew up with all of the 70's and 80's stuff that you are listening to. So cool to see your generation appreciating, and getting, these classics. Keep it up!

Karen Carpenter never had to sing like some vocalist that had come before her. Even after so many years, I still watch/listen to this.

[@herbie1234567890]

Just exceptional. Possibly my favorite Carpenters performance. Hard to narrow it down to only one though.

[@zzzzzach]

So much talent in the 70's, and this was the cheesy pop music. Talent ran through (almost) everything. So glad I grew up with this music. It gave me an appreciation for authenticity and expression.

[@anthonwest9541]

very few female singers that played the drums while singing. What a talent!

[@nicholasn6698]

The Pride of DOWNEY, CA. Karen was an absolute Angel.

Said it before and will happily say it again: If ever there was a Mount Rushmore of female vocalists, Karen Carpenter is on it.

[@leighsaldivar4439]

One of my favorites by them. She was such a sweet soul. Gone way too soon ❤her voice was flawless

[@donaldr.pinson3351]

Such a tragic story is hers. Their music is definitely the most chill ever. You can put on one of their CDs and sleep!

[@andrew097]

The Carpinters were a masterclass of songwriting, the musical arrangements, harmony's from the backing singers and musicians who can play perfectly. Of course Karen's imperious, unique voice was the cherry on the top of perfection.

[@lantose]

One of the purist voices ever! Amen!

[@Kipperbob]

The depth of her voice is so cool.

[@eljobo3258]

Her voice is just so beautiful. What a talent. If you haven't done one yet, do a Karen Carpenter drum solo video. It's a different side of her, and gives you an extra dimension of her musical gifts.
