@SallyOlsonCarpentersLegacy
9 жыл бұрын
John X FYI.....as managing director of Bill Reed Voice Studio, you should know that "head voice" and "belting" are not the same thing. They are actually exact opposites. Head voice implies singing above one's break. Classical singers sing primarily in their head voice. Belting, on the other hand, is one's natural outdoor calling voice. It's also referred to as one's chest voice. Broadway singers and many pop singers are known for their belting skills. When one uses both their head voice and belting voice together (with no break), it is called the mixed voice. Karen used her mix voice to perfection, which results in the rich velvety tone that characterized her voice.

MOST of the famous singers even have / had problems producing same degree of excellence while singing low notes . IT specially happens when a high note of a song plunges to a low note and requires to remain there between three and seven seconds -- here most of the singers find themselves in an unknown territory but LATE KAREN CARPENTER was different and exclusive. AND of course her mellifluous voice which still enthralls the audience UP AND DOWN THE WORLD. INDEED, A RARE VOICE.

Hard to believe she sounded that good live! There was no lip synching! Wow! What a gorgeous voice she had. So sad she's gone.

Such a beautiful elegant woman. I have NEVER heard anyone sing like Karen. NEVER. Today’s pop singers are more concerned with screeching & looking sexy. Karen was very sexy & her voice - pure, low, clear - is something we’ll never hear the likes of again.

Wonder if in 2050 people will still listen to these Carpenter songs. The songs will be almost 80-90 years old, but are just so soothing. But here we are 40ish years later listening.

There's plenty of Love it is just usually for someone else! Karen was great and so in the reincarnation belief ( Lord, 2005 'as not in this lifetime') who is she now, a star as Taylor or just your next door neighbor singing in her home that no-one ever hears?

Sadly, I think you are right. I sometimes think we are afraid of one another. I don't think forgiveness comes into it. We cannot do it. Once a person has made a decision to move on, that is it. In films misunderstandings miraculously get cleared up, differences get resolved, love conquers all. In real life the waters are much muddier. Also people can harden in their stance and hate. That is way easier than trying to imaginatively put yourself in someone else's shoes.

una mckillen I think more we are afraid we will fail or that the other will ask too much of us. I'm a loner, been a loner, will be a loner, it's written in me code. Next incarnation maybe the great Romeo in reality instead of in me songs I have wrote and War game text I have made for me game Panzer General II/ SS Amerika campaign, for me SS Fuhress Savannah, a porn star who killed herself in '94. Karen brings a tear to me eye, she was beautiful and I really liked her singing and she did good songs with her brother. If he don't commit suicide someday I will be amazed. Cats have softened me loner stuff, I got a Herd. Though I have wrote a few songs about suicide it's never the way to go. Fight the challenges the Lord tosses to you, live , die, live again.

Karen Carpenter was, one of, if not the finest female artists of all time. She had control, tone, feel and a presence. No electronic aids or autotune back then, just pure natural talent. Her vocals are so distinctive, and stand alone from anyone else. She was a living legend, but she just did not know it. One of the sadest stories ever. R.I.P Karen 🙏🙏🙏
