THE CARPENTERS Superstar REACTION

[@tomschmitz5745]

REMEMBER FOLKS, KAREN CARPENTER SANG THIS and recorded this on 1 take! singing the lyrics off a napkin! and only 21 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Doodsy1975]

Did she really? I didn't know that. Incredible.

[@tomschmitz5745]

@@Doodsy1975 yes, all true.. she was known as "one take karen"...

[@nickjames3049]

A true natural! 👍

[@hv3926]

She nailed a lot of the classic songs on the first take

[@jazzmaan707]

WOW! I first heard this song 50 years ago. Glad to see that Karen is not forgotten. She had the voice of an angel, that always touched the emotions deep in my heart and soul. Karen had that God Given Voice, and God gave us Karen to enjoy for a few years. RIP, Karen.

[@thething1710]

Karen's voice was just such a thing of beauty, and I'm glad more people are discovering how wonderful she was. Great reaction! ❤

[@jimbishop2801]

Karen Carpenter - Her eloquent and expressive voice in the contralto vocal range had a richness that no female pop singer ever has matched. Her singing style was incredibly beautiful and compelling - a true talent to be sure!

[@tomschmitz5745]

well put! surely the most rich, pure, movingly intimate, warmth, beautiful voice ever... as her brother stated her voice was "phono-genic" and herb albert stating she made you feel she was sitting in your lap and singing only to you! greatest female "crooner" of love and romance songs ever... looking for love, finding love and losing love...

Another great record by The Carpenters my dear friend Hal Blaine played drums on, with Joe Osborn on bass.

[@tokenjoy]

You're right, an insane amount of talent.

[@meganparsons9106]

She was also a drummer, and actually really good at it too.

[@stuartmw8156]

So beautiful ..Great reation too 😊

[@robertromero2928]

Kirti your communication skills are tops, God gave us a smile that we activate on emotions. Your smile lights up this Song. Thank You

[@Coupydog]

Thank you for choosing the original 1971 version. I always liked the way the trombones stood out prominently in the chorus! Great, first reaction, we love her too 💟

[@Coupydog]

I 'd like to hear your reaction to their, "A Place To Hideaway" off their 1970 Album. NO one sings like Karen 😎

[@malinhead322]

Superb vocals....lyrics, melody and arrangement just beautiful.

[@Wolfsky9]

Late summer, early fall, of 1971. --------------In LA, THIS HIT # 2 , on, KHJ, 930AM, in LA. ------------KUDOS to Richard's gorgeous arrangement / orchestration. He was a master at it. Karen was 21, Richard was 24 y/o.-----------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o

[@jimwillride]

I agree, it is a perfect song. I love the way that you absorbed it and then talked about it. Karen lived her music. Thank you for your insights.

[@Kruppt808]

The way you look into the camera, with your beauty...... it's so enchanting and mesmerizing. It's like your looking into my soul😍

[@malinhead322]

Great song....and still part of my playlist....Karen Carpenter's vocals were always so smooth and easy listening....thanks for playing

[@robertromero2928]

I Love You Kirti, The Song SUPER STAR Lives A Little Bit In All Of Us. Thanks Kirti For Your Reaction It's A Gem. Is Your Sister Pirti ? Your Both So Awesomely Beautiful And Intelligenct Ladies Of India. God Bless You And Your Families

[@marcusbetancourt3760]

Thank you Sweetheart. I don't really know what was more beautiful. You or the song. I think you both. God bless you both. Adios.

[@robertmysliwski7881]

Karen Carpenter's voice is so perfectly soothing

[@ericschmidt5510]

Karen Carpenter's voice, OH SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@bruschmidt9943]

Yes siree!!!

[@teresasmith4446]

Love all your reactions to the Carpenters and to tell you the truth I love most of y'all's reactions because you're very genuine and honest Carpenters music is not something I get tired of listening to I want to say that I discovered their music around 3 years ago when you listen to good music like their music you just can't really listen to the stuff you used to listen to in the same light like you think to yourself oh this is okay but it just puts it on a whole different level if that makes sense thanks for your reaction there is some reactions y'all haven't done from the Carpenters yet or maybe a couple of tracks from their last album made in America whenever y'all get the chance thank you for the reaction stay safe God bless bye

[@gordonhutchison9647]

Her vocal range and emotion are unequalled by other female vocalists, peaceful reaction and chilled 👍

[@Volar777]

i love your reaction...it is so genuine and complete...i subscribed because of this...thank you

[@richardsadler6167]

Karen carpenter one of the seven wonders of music 🎶!

[@kaafromoz]

A beautiful version of this song, Karen's vocal is Superb..Flawless...Stunning..Thanks for the reaction I am sure your other half would have been over the moon hearing it as well..Keep Safe Keep Strong

[@judywalker8020]

No voice ever like hers.Really hard watching her waste away and go too soon.

[@richardmoran2320]

Awesome reaction to one of my favourite Carpenters songs. I always enjoy watching your reactions Kirti.

[@somersetnewsnetwork2198]

If great to see you young'uns reacting to the music of my youth. We had some great music back in the 60's and 70's. Beatles, Stone, Animals, carpenters, simon and garfunkel and the list goes on. If you start doing beatles you will be doing them for years.

[@vdimasteremeritus]

The best alto voice in pop music ever.

[@dtennow]

I was lucky enough to see them at a show at Lake Tahoe in 1974. My parents took the whole family. I still remember the shock of seeing her behind the drums. Not too many girl drummers back then. I fell in love with her that night.

[@buddyhodges4621]

SO glad you love the song as much as my generation does!

[@saurian11]

Karen had a Very Beautiful voice!!!!

[@joseportillo2760]

I am, a grown man but this song with Karen brings a tear when I hear it.....I like your video because it sounds so clear and strong and your reaction is neat.

[@robertcastillo7292]

Another great reaction Kirti! Your thoughts are so sentimental and your feelings heartfelt.

[@195511SM]

I saw her in concert made a year or two before she passed away. I was living up in South Lake Tahoe on the Calif. & Nevada border.....when The Carpenters performed at Harrah's Casino & Resort. I think their album 'Close To You' was one of the first I ever owned, when I was back in high school.

[@badumpy]

Karen Carpenter has the voice of an Angel....Love your reaction and take on song!

[@michaelbrowne541]

Like others have said.. another great song .Karen Carpenter's voice is amazing.. She had such a unique refined voice... In the beginning her claim to fame was that she was a drummer.. I think she played all of, or most of the drums on their 1st album... Her biography is a amazing story.. And on a lighter note they used this song in a segment of the movie Tommy boy... Very funny...

[@Wolfsky9]

Kirti : This Masterpiece is from the late summer of 1971 . I was hitch-hiking from Denver, to LA, WHEN i 1ST HEARD IT. In LA, IT WENT # 1 IN 3 WEEKS. --------------Karen's voice, & Richard's flawless arrangement & production, are unforgettable. ------------WolfSky9

[@Coupydog]

Hey Wolfsky, good to know you're okay & still with us 😌

[@morenteria2988]

You'll love The Moody Blues "Nights in White Satin"

[@smittyworld4096]

Makes me think of that hilarious seen in tommy boy with Farley and Spade 🎶😂

[@robertromero2928]

Kirti this song has a haunting feeling to it. But it's wonderful because it goes to the heart. Kirti good to see you have an individual reaction, great job! Your so intelligent and beautiful. I have a crush on you but don't tell Savio. Anyways you and your family keep going with the REACTION channel, no haters on the comments I'll defend your channel to anybody, your awesome! Thanks!

[@tinakelley7018]

What a awesome song. The Carpenters had so many hits check out others. Karen died at such a young age . Karen and her brother Richard both had amazing voices. I believe Richard had his own group before they figured out Karen could sing. Thanks

[@williamsmith-kd4bd]

"Breathtaking"

[@tomschmitz261]

recorded in one take! reading the lyrics off a napkin! Karen ONLY 21 years old at the time! OTHERWORLDLY incredible...

[@RamonIsWokeAF]

Such a gift!!!!!!!

[@pseudonym7473]

I think he lives only on the radio and she has never met him. This song reminds me of Helen Reddy's. Angie Baby

[@theopinionatedman8939]

My Sweet Enoma, You have just listened to the voice of an angel. It sounds a bit cliche, but how else can you describe it. I'm happy you did a little research on Karen and The Carpenters. It's good to be informed. God Bless

[@roseunderwood6298]

The Carpenters was one of my favorite groups coming up as a teenager because she was the first female I saw as a drummer. I don't feel that way, because everything in life involves choices which will determines outcomes of either life of death. Sometimes, we choose things that can harm us, and we may not even know these choices can harm us. Yet, at other times we choose things we know can harm us. So, whether or not we have that understanding of not, choices can change the direction of our life, so choose wisely; observe diligently; listen in hopes to increase in knowledge. Even considering all of these things, all of us will experience all our share of experiences! By the way, I enjoyed your review! The Flower 🌹

[@kentmains7763]

The Voice!

[@hv3926]

She also sings about extra-terrestrials in "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft." You should do that onem

[@123fredv]

I love your channel! Awesome 👏🏽 👍🏽 keep it up.

[@saturnnet1627]

Nice solo reaction

[@glen6945]

ACE YOUNG LADY

[@roseunderwood6298]

I feel that things don't just happened. I believe that life is about choices and the choices that are chosen can impact on ourselves and can impact others. The Flower 🌹

[@glen6945]

oohhhhyes---darling

[@jacquelinebell6467]

You have to listen and react to Luther Vandross version of the song. He took this song to another level. It’s a masterpiece. One of the Greatest Makeovers in music. You will be amazed I promise.

[@jacquelinebell6467]

@pm not taking anything away from the great Karen Carpenter particularly as the original songwriter. I grew up listening to the amazing duo that is of her and her brother. I’m an avid music lover of all genres of music being a singer myself. Karen was a master in her own right! But Luther was a master too. However in my opinion and in the opinion of many others overwhelmingly, Luther took this song to next level.. It’s almost a completely different song. It’s kind of like Dolly Parton’s “I will Always Love You” and Whitney Houston”s rendition. I love both versions. In fact Dolly’s version was one of my favorite songs to sing as a kid. But Whitney’s rendition of the song was heart stopping and brought her version to next level. Nevertheless, it was never my intention to offend the greatness of our beloved Karen Carpenter. I’m just speaking truth about Luther’s version of the song. Regards.

[@glen6945]

OOOHHHYES

[@glen6945]

OOOOHHHHYES

[@carlosvasquezvasquez2845]

KIRTI For SAVIO 🙏🌹

[@cd72]

Supposedly this song was written by Rita Coolidge, as she says herself and it was taken away without her knowledge....anyways Karen's version sold over a million copies, becoming their 5th Gold Million Selling Single, hit #2 on the Billboard Top 100 and Number One on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Charts and I believe might have been nominated for a Grammy Award....she had a stellar voice!!!

[@c.c.charles5885]

Loving your channel. Will love to see you do a vid comparing the Luther Vandross version to this.

[@southpaw2k1]

That would be great, considering that Luther Vandross's version is more of a slow jam.

[@javiermgtaoism5702]

Karen's voice complemented Richards' musical arrangements and chorus ideas. If Karen's voice was gone, the music would still sound beautiful and vise-versa.

[@jamesveryzer5833]

Great reaction

[@apolloyt3957]

Good song

[@donstrasbaugh663]

Karen is amazing indeed. If you want to hear the voice of god listen to Eva Cassidy singing Autumn Leaves Live at Blues Alley. It will change your life for the better forever. 🎺

[@adityapratapsingh8970]

Europe sign of the times

[@seekfirst817]

nice, very nice

[@robertwalker1803]

An 11 out of 10....

[@glen6945]

ooohhhhyes

[@hemi1045]

Well, a good song is hard to resist, isn't it?

[@mr.goodenough3796]

Great vocals. Luther Vandross had a nice version of this song too.

[@glen6945]

YOU ---SHOULD SEE LOVELY KAREN PLAY THE DRUMS

[@dexterjankaren]

There's a lot of melancholy in the Carpenters music.

[@iliketowatchvideos47]

Yes her voice is hauntingly beautiful almost otherworldly

[@tracypaxton1054]

Believe it or not they have some happy songs, too.

[@williewimmer5102]

I've always thought this song was about Eric Clapton...

[@Rob-29266]

This song was originally titled ‘ (Groupie) Superstar’, and recorded by Delaney and Bonnie in 1969. The song was the story of a groupie who holds a strong love for a rock musician who left her. The most famous version is by the Carpenters, after Richard heard Bette Midler’s cover.

[@roseunderwood6298]

Wow, you did the review yourself very nice. But always, the best to you and your husband. The Flower 🌹
