TORI HOLUB - YESTERDAY ONCE MORE LIVE AT CROONERS (JIM CARUSO’S CAST PARTY 4/12/24)

Had such a wonderful time performing for Jim Caruso’s “Cast Party” at Crooners Supper Club on 4/12/24! I sang “Yesterday Once More,” with Billy Stritch on piano.
This was my first time performing in front of an audience since I was a kid, but when Jim Caruso told me “Cast Party” was coming to town, I knew I had to do it. Needless to say, it wasn’t perfect, but it’s a start!
Thank you to Jim, Billy, and everyone who cheered me on that night.

[@brendawilliams8832]

Karen Carpenter is smiling down on you. You have such a beautiful voice.

[@ulphil08]

Such a true statement

[@sw5117]

My childhood!

[@johndavidson5228]

A good case for reincarnation.

[@brucejones1867]

Reincarnation seems possible. What a voice. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this young lady.

[@annab3182]

Her voice is so much more like Karen than the Vegas act hands down.

[@rizalinodelsocorro3209]

Without twerking, auto tunes and scanty clads yet perfectly rendered. Tori Hulob at her best, just like our beloved Karen Carpenter. - watching from Lanao del Norte, Mindanao, Philippines

[@PennyShreve]

Class act!

[@ExSkyCyclePilot]

As a huge Carpenters fan, this girl gives me cold chills every time I hear her. She has more talent in her little finger than Swift, Rihanna, Lizzo, and Beyonce have in their entire bodies combined. I really hope to hear more of Tori in years to come.

[@vincemarshall9520]

I got chills when she started. Amazing!

[@richardgonzalez5290]

EXACTLY

[@dondee5439]

People at this venue are going to be telling other people that they were here when Tori Holub sang before a crowd for the first time. Tori is going to be a star.

[@steelydan473]

I'm blown away! No ear-piece to help her pitching like all the pro's have and still makes an excellent performance;that's talent. Billy spot on with that piano too.

[@DugrozReports]

I think the earpiece is in theory because it's very hard to hear the backing track in real time at large venues. But yeah -- I'm sure some use it to "cheat". :) Tori is the best Karen Carpenter tribute singer I've ever heard.

[@TechnikMeister2]

The test of a really good singer. Live and just a piano. Few can do this, even some of the greats. They need the full production to sound good. Tori doesn't. We are privileged to be seeing the birth of a star.

[@jdfreeman5168]

So true!

[@MrKookiblue]

Totally agree

[@jasonkempdialog]

Yes she is good but do have a listen to Tori Amos Live at Montreux 1991/1992 where Amos is performing her own songs. When Holub starts recording her own songs we will see how it goes but there are others.

[@SMR3663]

If this is your first time, please make it first of many!!!!!!

[@gayefontoura3292]

Tori is also a talented audio engineer! An intelligent, gifted, and humble young woman. Wishing God speed to her!

[@randyeakin4503]

I fell in love with Karen Carpenter's voice in my youth. I closed my eyes listening to this and would swear I was 11 years old again listening to one of the greatest voices of our time. Bravo, Tori...this was absolutely masterful ❤️

[@vikkiflaig4735]

Same closed eyes. 😅

[@mattmeagher365]

I love that she’s singing so beautifully without the pyrotechnics and over singing. Just pure perfection. This pure music doesn’t have to hit you in the face.

[@andyschnell58]

Tori, you did an exceptional job for your first public performance. I am thrilled to have learned about you near the start of your career. Thanks for keeping The Carpenters music alive and I have enjoyed your original songs. I will continue to introduce people to your music on KZbin.

[@wizkidsvideos]

First singer that I have heard that sounds just like Karen Carpenter. Absolutely amazing voice.

[@johncox2912]

This girl is utterly FANTASTIC!!!!! She NAILS it every time. Her voice is golden. This is what TRUE TALENT sounds like.

[@charlesmarkley220]

Dang young lady, 58 year old dude here and just about cry because of the beauty of your voice. Keep up the great work.😊

[@FredTonelli]

I love the way Tori & her sister support each other! It is so heart-warming!

[@BeckVMH]

Wings of Pegasus channel published a very complimentary analysis of Tori’s voice and is high praise given it’s from that channel. I highly recommend that review.

[@HolgerJakobs]

That's how I found her. 😊

[@larrye3602]

Me too !

[@davidmmuench]

​@@HolgerJakobsSame!

[@ronk701]

This young lady has a promising future in music. Love Toris' singing. Good Luck Tori you will be a superstar in the near future. Best Wishes and much happiness TORI.🙂

[@dt8787]

Tori is just fantastic. Humble, too. Love her. I want to see her in concert.

[@sandiland0000]

your voice makes me smile.. God blessed you with such a gift Tori. Thank you.. thank you for sharing that with us. My husband is a singer… he said wow…. Authentic and i agree. hugs, Sandi

[@CH-dz9nn]

You made this 60 year old man cry! That was absolutely beautiful!

[@paulhuval]

That was great Tori what a beautiful voice you have 👍

[@TheMavmbr]

I´M 61 years old. I was a big fan of The Carpenters. Wow!!! You´re a great performer.

[@annab3182]

Tori’s voice is so beautiful. How incredible is that, that she still sounds incredible in this format and you can still hear the quality of her voice! Way to go Tori.

[@gregdcross]

Few artists today would want their voice heard without autotune, background singers or sing without an earpiece to try tobkeep in pitch. You Tori, do it and absolutely smash it. Bravo!

[@royhi1809]

just BEAUTIFUL! Karen Carpenter would be proud. May God bless you and keep you safe and well.

[@charlesmclaughlin6968]

It is such an incredible moment to be in the presence of someone who is on the verge of becoming a superstar. That is what I imagine the entire audience was feeling, hearing you sing. Here you are performing at a local talent show, just being "you," and it's almost as if you don't realize how incredible your voice is. I hope you never lose that quality that makes you so approachable.

[@chicken-bone]

Every time I hear Tori sings I get chills. Crazy but it’s almost like the past is repeating itself.

[@rocknsuhr1078]

What a voice, Karen Carpenter is smiling up in heaven ❤

[@MyName-nx1jj]

Heck yeah, girl, you nailed it! I've hosted an open mike for years and I know how nerve wracking the first time in front of an audience can be. From now on you will feel more and more confident with every performance. The stage is yours.

[@hoss2752a]

Tori is awesome! I never get tired of watching/hearing her sing…

[@KoalaOpheliaSnowbish]

BRAVO 😊😊@ToriHolub well done 👏 ✔️ a 64 year old fan of yours. I adored the Carpenters. I love ❤️ your voice!!!

[@shellys4636]

You are a gift to us. Believe in yourself and keep Karen alive.

[@oopsdidItypethatoutloud]

I want to see you live before before I'm in a crowd of thousands... so soon. ❤from North East England ❤️

[@rasandberg]

I smile and often tear up when I watch or listen to Tori. So beautiful, timeless. ♥️😀❤️

[@David_Musicpro]

Natural beauty and talent that shines through you Tori. You are amazing and blessed!

[@user-hc3ce7ye6r]

What an amazing talent. Singing Carpenter covers is great but it just illustrates what seems to come naturally to Tori. She sings beautifully and effortlessly without needing to overpower the lyrics. Best of luck to Tori- do what you enjoy! We’ll all be watching for your original material and the development of your career!

[@Mrvictorfernandes]

Godspeed, Tori. You're making "Kace" proud while plowing your own furrow simultaneously. To quote Barbra Streisand when she encountered Karen at a social gala: "You have a marvelous instrument."

[@lee2005us]

Such an inspiration for all especially those of us who were teenagers in the 70s.. Thanks God for a beautiful Tori Holub..”🌹”…

[@daveogarf]

Tori, you almost always move me to tears! EXCELLENT!

[@spikerztuber]

Same!

[@briankalil6257]

Pretty amazing ! I was 8 yrs old in 1970 when I heard the Carpenters. So sad to hear about her death. What a voice ! To now hear Tori..OMG ! I wish Karen was here to hear Tori, but somehow I think she does hear Tori ! Tori and Karen are TWINS !

[@briank10101]

You can really make cry! Just like before...we lost Karen Carpenter. You have a bright future Tori and are so talented both musically and technically. It's Yesterday once more.

[@SteveStevieboy]

Just excellent singing and all without bloody auto tune! You put modern so called singers to shame,very well done lovexx

[@andersonfan1]

Simply wonderful. What an amazingly talented person you are. I am sure millions of people would love to hear more.

[@lauralombardo9605]

I have always believed Karen Carpenter had the most perfect singing voice ever created. Like a beautiful crystal star piercing a cold winter night. No one has ever come close. You are Tori, with your own special gift. gg gh

[@TopCat2021]

Amazingly beautiful rendition. Thank you

[@Jaco3688]

Don’t tell me that you can teach that. You can help refine it, but God has blessed this woman. 👍

[@jbs256]

OMG (again) The full version! ❤❤❤

[@owensclock]

Does Tori Holub have a bright future? The "oh my god!" from the audience when she was done singing says YES!

[@cmr58]

To the guy sitting on the right in this video......Just know, I was wiping away the tears out of my eyes just like you were.

[@starcraft5379]

Well done! Looking forward to more live performances! Though that SM58 didn't do justice to your voice! A KSM9 or at least a Beta 87a would capture your voice with much accuracy. 😍

[@aaronlow1977]

Sounds like it was recorded on a cell phone.

[@Sctmpsn]

I’ve been listening to Tori for a few months now, I would have thought the shivers through my body would go away at some point. But I just heard her again, and there’s that feeling again! Nobody else has that effect on me. One very special, talented, wonderful person! ❤

[@djmips]

she has it.

[@vinceogawa]

Wow wow wow . There should be a televised music special with Tori and Richard doing Carpenters songs

[@rafaelgcpp]

"Needless to say, it wasn’t perfect..." And that is where you got it wrong: you sounded amazing as always!

[@viniacamp]

Tori, it's very difficult to see true singers like you in a world in an increasingly artificial world with "artists" who have nothing truly new and different to offer, unlike decades ago (I may sound like an old man saying this, but I'm only a 18 years old lover of old - good - music). But girl, I'm discovered you a few weeks ago and I liked too much of your work - and your voice for sure! If you were to do a concert here in my country someday, I would definitely see you there and have the chance to enjoy a great singer singing great songs (since I didn't have the opportunity to live in the golden age of music).

[@barbaralarson1897]

Over 20 yrs ago a young woman in Las Cruces NM had the voice of Karen Carpenter. So glad another is here.

[@broerymarantika853]

Loves what you are doing Tori ❤❤❤ Karen would stretch and emphasize each notes, and she had an amazing long breaths to extend those notes...

[@forwimp]

absolutely magnificent. A Karen Carpenter song done in Tori's own vice. A great performance.

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

Thank you so much. Brings back great memories of not only Karen Carpenter, but my dear Mom as well, who I miss every day. She passed away in 9/22😭The Carpenters were her favorite musical artists. Always would listen to their music with her.😃

[@user-pi6zh3qq4p]

Tori I can't tell you how much I enjoy your singing. I was lucky enough to have seen the Carpenter's in concert. I remember how it sent chills down my back hearing Them sing. I get the same feeling hearing you sing. I live in Minneapolis and hope you have the opportunity to perform live here in the city. I would really love to see you live. I know you would gather a big crowd. Let us know when that happens because I will be there. Good luck to you and to your trip to Downey CA for the Carpenter's big 55 year anniversary event. You are going to knock their socks off.

[@daryljohnson9010]

More please! Including new music.

[@djmips]

The host was great too. Wow Tori - you nailed it live!

[@Mistywon]

So good to see you performing live! Here's to many more years of performances. 🥰

[@chrisosti]

Tori dear...I never get over how effortless you sing...I don't believe for a minute that you're nervous about performing! Keep on giving the world the beautiful gift of your voice. I consider myself so lucky to be alive in this time, and to be able to experience everything you do. Please keep us all posted on your venues and concerts too! Love you!

[@rafaelchaconroa3424]

I fell sad and happy at the same time. I remember Karen voice. Tori sings beautiful.❤

[@yt-viewerfromger320]

Once again I've fallen in love with your angelic voice, and in fact with you Tori. You brighten my life since I discovered your channel through the almighty algorythm..! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gift with us and please continue doing so for the sake of all mankind..! Wouldn't it be a-dream-come-true if you, Tori, did a collab with Richard by performing new songs written by him for you and meant for Karen in rememberance of a real unique singer that she was, and sung by another unique singer that you are, Tori..?

[@VintageTimeGems]

Just like Karen Carpenter, you have such a pure beautiful voice.

[@stanross2566]

Your beautiful voice takes me back to the 70s listening to the Carpenters. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@tomg5304]

I discovered Tori singing a few weeks ago and was amazed by her voice. Now, I can’t believe she has only been singing for a couple of years and this is her first live gig. If she doesn’t become a superstar, there is something wrong with this world.

[@S2KPHD]

Out of the dozen KP voices, she's probably the best one in my opinion.

[@imacmill]

What an incredible gift this woman has!

[@gregkiyuna6029]

Excellent first live deput young lady. I love your voice. Straight mike! No autotune crap. You were awesome. Karen is smiling right now. Aloha!

[@frontprochproduction]

You just continue to do what you were born to do young lady..! God gave you that wonderful voice to be a blessing to everyone who hears you sing, so enjoy the journey of sharing that He has laid in front of you..! I hope to hear you sing live someday..!

[@johnbutler4631]

This makes me happy, both to see and hear this wonderful young lady's beautiful voice and talent and to see a resurgence of excitement about the music of the Carpenters.

[@susanscheuermann4898]

It´s So Nice to hear a Young Lady like Tori Hulub with a Beautiful singing voice. And a Beautiful Singing Voice like Karen. Karen is Proud !!!!

[@rnovick]

I want to see you on The Voice or American Idol, Tori. DO IT!! The whole world needs to hear you sing.

[@dwightsmith5174]

She does not need the Hollywierd scammers. She is much better than that. Hopefully they won't be able to lure her in and destroy her as they have done so many others.

[@fizzedupslade4082]

Oh Tori, take a bow, that was wonderful. When you got to part when it almost makes me cry. I was crying! I just wish you the best of success at a singing career.

[@spencerbutterbaugh6104]

To every singer and would be singer this is how it's done. So beautiful Tori's voice is I fell in love with it the first time I heard. Now I am a devoted fan. Thank you Tori for being a wonderful singer and person that you are. Looking forward for a complete album. I hope in the not to distant future. Peace, Love and Happiness!

[@simonhurst253]

What a gift to sing like that … Simon from over the pond Uk

[@SpareRoomFilm]

Somebody get this lady and orchestra and a tour!! I’d pay $$ to hear her for an evening at Chastain Park in Atlanta!!

[@Fatos-re3rq]

Yes, I think, a birth of a huge star.. 🌟

[@bpabustan]

No really!! This is Tori's first gig??? Unbelievable man!!!

[@DomingoVoiceOver]

Tori…Congratulations on your premier live performance! As a performing musician from the past three decades, I will humbly offer that there is nothing like playing live to expand and improve upon your performance skills. What an exciting new adventure for you! Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@realbogus]

What a voice. If there was any doubt, this blows them away. Just amazing!!❤

[@papajoel52]

Tori, what a talented and beautiful young lady you are! I suspect you may not fully realize what elite potential you have in the music and production industry. Keep it up, never lose your humility, and all of us will be following you for years to come! (I'm a US citizen living permanently in Chile, S.A.)

[@SquirrelTheater]

Go TORI !!!! Awesomeness right here. 🌹😎

[@raydionangy]

I can only imagine how hard it is to perform in front of a crowd. You did very well! Congratulations Tori.

[@derrickheidweiller9580]

She's gorgeous and with a beautiful voice❤

[@johnfinnegan2780]

OMG!!! In the jaded world we live in there is little that moves me, this voice did.

[@3342andrew]

Tori is so gentle with the song, like she don't wanna hurt it, but we all want her to belt it out! Just keep singing Tori!

[@SteveWeaverIvyfield]

OMG! Just found you today! I’m seeing Richard in concert here in the UK (he’s touring for just one week - 7 consecutive nights in September 2024) how we Brits would LOVE to see you sing with him. I know you’ve already worked with him. You gave me goosebumps. Phenomenal. ❤ from the UK.

[@themotownboy1]

Well done, Tori!! You can have a very successful career as a singer, if you want it! You have the ability and class that is rarely seen anymore.

[@alanhau6690]

Thank you for your music I got to listen to Karen in the past and now I get to hear her music again in the future thank you for that from Hawaii aloha

[@davidmiddleton7545]

Tori you have wonderful voice and I think it's so cool your sister was filming you singing. And even proudly says 'this is my sister'. It song sounded great !

[@leroifox]

Even when you speak you sound amazing; that warm golden voice is a comfort to the soul. 😎

[@pablocruiser209]

Goosebumps engaged!!! Thank you Tori for creating your own magic! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrisaleman6180]

So in love with Tori. Such an incredible talent. ❤❤

[@teresal5174]

Beautifully done, Tori! 👏👏

[@MerleDoughty-yw6cl]

Yes Karen would be happy for Tori to take her place, just wow nothing I can say can describe listening to Tori.

[@RiverCat999]

Minnesota has a bright light. Great job, Tori Keep up all the good work. Your talent is amazing.

[@albertcadiz7000]

Absolutely brilliant! I needed this today. Thank you Tori.
