CARPENTERS - SUPERSTAR REACTION

[@catticusfeline4623]

Shane, thank you for commenting on the legendary Carpenters. I am so glad that younger people like yourself are discovering and acknowledging the greatness of Karen and Richard. The Carpenters' talents are extraordinary and timeless.

[@sharoninglima1217]

Karens voice is hauntingly beautiful and rich Richards composition was always genius. They were both great musicians. ❤❤

[@ronsmith-d7y]

She had the voice of an Angel and anyone who heard her misses her CC

[@whitebird357]

Great selection of the video and song. Wonderful talent. So much volume, richness, and clarity and her expressions are so beautiful with that classic Karen Carpenter melancholy blended with hopeful energy. So iconic.

[@DaveK0526]

I always have the same reaction to her and this song..absolute shame we lost her so young

[@bonester50]

Carpenters were insane. This coming from a hard blues rocker, Karen was gorgeous, humble, kind and there are not enough words to describe her beauty and talent.

One of the rare voices that sounded the same whether live or recorded, she was just perfect no matter the context.

[@DallasPsyborg]

I would recommend their song Solitaire. It really shows off Karen's voice. It will give you chills on your chills.

[@billrichardson1982]

Can’t go wrong with the Carpenters. Enjoyed your reaction.

[@emattdat10]

the Carpenters are a once in a lifetime act, EPIC music!!!! it is amazing that as we age our music taste seem to Expand. When I was younger I did not like Country music really at all. now that I am older I listen to that type of music more often than not. thanks for the review

[@ShaneAlanGower]

I still got to check out some country music for the channel. Think I might enjoy it after all these years.

[@staciemoisa4884]

The melancholy sound of her voice in this one reminds me of how we lost her way too soon. RIP dear angel, your beautiful voice is still loved by millions.

[@JoeCruz-hs2yt]

believe it or not heavy metal rock musicians love the carpenter's is just something in her voice that makes you feel it !

[@robertfausnaught8513]

She's was just something special

[@The84riviera]

Great reaction to Superstar,Shane. I'm near 70 years old and heard the song hundreds of times,but the first time I actually saw Karen sing it,I reacted exactly like you did. Full body chills and goose bumps. Her voice is spell binding. Like nothing before or since. Keep up your journey on Carpenters. Everything they did was pure heaven and it's all because of that beautiful brown eyed little drummer girl with the bangs. The world loves you angel face. I pray you rest in peace. 😢🙏

[@whyme7996]

and when she played the drums there were no hitches in her singing....such an amazing talent. Watch any videos where she is playing her drums...you'll see a happiness that is always missing when they just have her up front singing.

[@mrtonyo1965]

Karen was a beautiful singer. There is a young lady by the name of Angelina Jordan. She is the best singer on the planet. She is 18 years old and won Norway Got Talent at 7 years old, and she is an international treasure. Her millions of fans will check out your first video of Angelina. Best wishes to you.

[@terrisalser7721]

She was a fantastic drum player. You should check out videos of her doing drum solos

[@Coowallsky]

She was good. I wouldn't call her fantastic.

[@johnmatthew102]

I remember when this song dropped. Karen was loved by all generations: grandparents, parents, and young hippies like myself. That didn't happen a lot with the music scene in the 70's.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Luther does a brilliant cover of this ..........imagine,if they both were alive today ......doing it as a Duet ???????????? :)

In Nov of 2018 Richard Carpenter released "CARPENTERS WITH THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA" by taking the masters of 17 of their songs to the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London and after arranging the music and directing the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra made new masters by overlaying the orchestra music on the old masters. This version of "SUPERSTAR" is from that work. Also, on the album is 1. RPO Overture, 2. Yesterday Once More, 3. Hurting Each Other, 4. I Need To Be In Love, 5. For All We Know, 6. Touch Me When We're Dancing, 7. I Believe You, 8. I Just Fall In Love Again, 9. Merry Christmas Darling, 10. Baby It's You, 11. (They Long To Be) Close To You, 12. Superstar, 13. Rainy Days And Mondays, 14. This Masquerade, 15. Ticket To Ride, 16. Goodbye To Love, 17. Top Of The World, 18. We've Only Just Begun. While my mind prefers the jazz they played as the Dick Carpenter Trio (1965 to 1968 in LA clubs Karen was a 15 year old drummer then) my heart belongs to the original tracks but my ears love this album.

[@elkevera]

It's amazing that the brain remembers song lyrics after decades. Karen had such a beautiful voice but couldn't take the stress of the industry. Really sad 💔Thanks Shane ☮

[@Ctkare4k9]

@@elkevera from what I’ve seen,her mother contributed greatly to her anorexia. She often let it be known that Richard was her favorite child. She took Karen to a weight loss doctor when she was just 17.

[@buukkreider544]

Thank you for your reaction to this Carpenters song. Please also react to their song, "A Place To Hideaway" - thank you. Peace.

[@changaming08]

Awesome sharing my

[@scotties.3414]

And much love back to you brother shane! Thank you so much for celebrating and cherishing our beloved Karen and Richard Carpenter. They dropped wholesome and whimsical songs on the radio waves for young kids like me to enjoy. Hearing their songs gives me similar tingly feelings just like you.

[@heralddelarosa4472]

Love your reaction Shane. Until now, am still having a goosebumps whenever I hear her voice. The greatest female voice of all time in my opinion. Pls check out "A Song for You" by Carpenters. 😊

[@danc4355]

Heard her on commercial in the 1980s for a cassette tape set and begged for it. And got that set and never stopped listening to her. She was beautiful and her voice silk.

[@alexarmendariz7763]

One in a trillion Karen Carpenter the music of the Carpenters timeless rip Karen Carpenter

[@kimvestle3097]

Try "Close to you" it has always been my favorite!

[@eveline5858]

hi Shane, yes thanks KZbin, just like you I discovered so many great singers that I didn't know, it's crazy, and as I said before, music is a gateway to release buried emotions, it's a magic that reaches every culture, every person and every heart, it has the power to make your heart happy, even if you don't understand the lyrics. Thank you my friend💜

[@jeffgray9943]

Always liked her version if superstar.... Next: garbage/at rock am ring/performing bad boyfriend.🎉🎉🎉

[@jack-um9hz]

Great reaction. Would love to see your reactions to “Solitaire” and/or I Know You Need To Be in Love.” Both absolutely stunning vocals.

[@dalekrampert1920]

what a voice, she left way to soon...

[@lynnecurrie7561]

They called her "One Take Karen" because she was always perfect the first time. RIP Karen❤❤❤

[@jbs256]

Hi Shane, Yes, it’s goosebumps time. This song is one of those that can get you, big time. The drums on this one was Hal Blaine, he of many Carpenters studio recordings. The musicality on this is all Richard’s arrangement. Complimenting Karen’s vocals perfectly. I want to link you to a restored video of a Carpenters appearance on The Tonight Show from 1973. They performed live the song from their second album, Mr. Guder. A Richard and John Bettis composition it’s about their boss when they worked at Disneyland to make a few bucks to buy audio tapes to record on. Karen sings lead and drums simultaneously, live! It’s a beautiful restoration and is just magical. That’s Bob Messenger on the electric flute, a full run member of the band and on many album sings. He was a triple threat, Bass, Sax and Flute. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX-ZqmqIf9SMrJYsi=5A_nxeJukOVCjCjv This channel by my friend Harvey, is a repository of his wonderful restorations of Carpenters videos. I’m also going to go sponsor another Tori song. This one is a song she sang when last April she was one of 8 invited artists to the Carpenters 55th Anniversary. She was the only singer to sing a non-Carpenters song. It’s; Something In Your Eyes. Richard wrote it and Karen died before even hearing it. So we will imagine what it might have been like if Carpenters recorded it. It was recorded by Dusty Springfield in 1987 for Richard’s solo album, Time. That video is also on KZbin as a reference point. Tori’s performance in the church was noisy and boomy so when she got home, she re-recorded it (the “Studio Version”). She also embellished it with backing vocals and used video and pictures from that day. Here’s the link and I’ll refer this comment in my donation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXuzanaEqJ6MjJYsi=wn3ClZlfKJdYXw3N I hope you enjoy this. Joe
