It's so sad we never will know how she had sung at 40 or 50 years of age. So what. She's the best of all time!! Karen possessed one of the most uniquely haunting voices there will ever be, and it is destined to live forever. amen on all counts. greatest female vocalist of all time. Amazing. When I was a child and through my teens, there was one voice that was always there. Well, not always there, but always available when the thousand things I'm always thinking about would get thought out, when the hundreds of adjustments to be made were completed, when the tens of friends would be off friending with other people, when a handful of moments were there solemn and for the taking. The voice belonged to Karen Carpenter. the voice of an angel. Karen could sing to me anytime she wanted to. Anything she sang would be beautiful. Who gives a shit what she pronounces wrong.

She and her brother Richard performed and perfected some of the loveliest records of all time. is there a female with a better voice? her vocal tone was angelic in its purity. Over 30 years and she STILL gives me goosebumps. No better combination of voice and beauty. One of my first crushes.

So much talent out there but Karen is number one,Great voice, never heard a voice like hers again, did you? yeah. like petula clark would say: she has "a voice of a angel" The most beautiful voice ever! Karen Carpenter was, in my mind, the most extraordinary, natural talent. She was born a diva. Regrettably, her life was cut short. But if she had lived, she would have enjoyed many more years of success (I don't doubt that for a second). And she was no prima donna - she was a class act in the truest sense of the word (Some other divas could take a lesson from her on this point)! In my opinion, I would even call her a legend. yeah. perfect voice! karen's voice was a rare and perfect singing sound that still pierces my heart. your always in my heart karen...RIP Vocally, she is just the purest female there is.

She could sing like no one else ever! The greatest voice in the world! And heartbreaking eyes ... I have always enjoyed her fantastic voice. She was one in a million. There will never be another Karen. She touched people with her voice including me. She is the best singer I've ever heard. Especially Karen's voice in most of her ballads is like the voice of an ANGEL to me that goes straight into my heart, that's probably why ' Close To You ' is still the most played song on weddings all over the world, Great singer & talent. No one since has sounded like her. I think that Karen is one of the most perfect female voices in pop music of all times, and The Carpenters were one of the groups with much musical quality. Listen to that voice. You'll always recognize it! Another classic from Karen, man she had the sweetest voice, I think her singing voice is absolutely fabulous, magnificent, and amazing, especially when she sings the low notes. Her voice is like silk, I've grown up being calmed and soothed by her voice. She's one in a million. Her lower register shakes the world!!! this woman had so much soul (in the non-traditional, non-R&B sense). it was pure pop no doubt, but she intoned every song with such feeling. perfect pitch that really showcases the awesome simplicity of the melodies. Richard deserves a great deal of the credit for their sound and success. Karen, in my heart forever...brings tears to my eyes. She had the most beautiful voice in the world. No one's can compare to hers. a beautiful singer with the perfect voice. Majestic! Cos she has the best voice of all time. So warm, intimate, like she's sitting right there in your lap and singing just for you. Her voice was crystalline, pure and so so sweet. She was an amazing person! Flawless.

Her passion, natural talent, and the emotion with which she sang can never be duplicated. She is the female vocalist of all time. No one else can ever come close. Karen's voice is just top of the world. Her voice is gorgeous. It gets to me every time, especially when she's singing the low notes. There is so much passion in her voice. When she sings, she sings with her whole soul. That is what I admire most. Unique distinctive voice. Perfect performance. Magic, magic, magic. She sings the songs the right way. She doesn't change the melody to fit her voice as Streisand does. She sings. ... because she had a fantastic voice with little effort, a golden voice! Effortless - no one else can sing like that. She finds singing easier than most of us find talking. BEST singer ever. Fact. No argument as far as I am concerned. You may not have to like the music, but anyone who says Karen Carpenter isn't AT LEAST in the top 5 greatest singers ever doesn't have the intelligence to form an opinion that is worth listening to She had the most unforgettable, irreplaceable, unmatchable and instantly recognizable voice to ever grace the airwaves. Great song and one of the greatest singers that ever lived. Always my favorite. Karen Carpenter's crystal-clear angelic voice lifts me to the seventh Heaven! You can't touch Karens voice. The quality and tone of her voice is unrivaled to this day. Karen Carpenter was amazing. She was only 20 years old here, and just listen to her voice. Completely unique. No one has ever been able to sound like her. Beautiful voice. One of the all-time bests. Karen's voice is stunningly beautiful. I've never heard a voice as good, she's my all time favourite female singer. all these pop idol and x factor contestants non will ever come close.she absolutely had the most beautiful female voice of all time. Probably the best female pop voice of all time. John Lennon once told Karen, "My, what a lovely voice you have dear." Her voice is absolutely stunning in its beauty and clarity. It's her soul singing. God can be so unfair...only he can hear this now. Perfection as only Karen Carpenter was capable of! The world lost its most beautiful voice when Karen left us. When her voice hits that low note near the end...I get goosebumps on my arms...its really one of Karen Carpenter's purest vocals....beautiful. Karen, i truly loved your voice, no one ever like you, your undescribable voice, never fade, you're one of a kind. A voice that can transform a killer into a saint, a voice that can stop time. I truly believe that God gave Karen het magnificant voice to bring pleasure to all of us. Karen voice is to song, what Mozart is to music. No other human being has brougt more happiness to me or more tears to my eyes then Karen Carpenter. Karens voice touched me in a way i cant explain, she has the ability to do that. I have admired many vocalist's over the years and like many others, have been waiting for a new voice that would match Karen's. But so far, that hasn't happened. Perhaps someone like Karen Carpenter is born once in a lifetime. I still miss her. Maybe one day we'll get to hear het again in heaven. How come nobody can write songs that are great like this anymore? Nothing on the radio today is going to be missed in 20, 30, or 40 years like this is. her voice , no one in the entire world had or have something like that she was one of a kind. No voice on the planet is as wonderful. The purest voice ever...luv ya Karen!!! I've never heard a better voice and doubt that I ever will. No lip synch. This IS a studio shot for one thing. They were filming, but in studio and you can see from inside the control booth at the last shot. Karen was one of those rarities that could walk into a studio and not have to practice it much less edit it. Most performers can spend an entire day or more on a single song. Karen rarely needed more than a single take. Second - I was there when it was recorded. Don't claim lip synch as fact when you have no idea what you are talking about. She was awesome and her voice really touched my heart and soul. i have listened to so many versions and renditions of this song but hers is the one that reduced me to a flood of tears. so angelic and so effortless, so beautiful. I really like the fact that Karen Carpenter is getting some of the recognition that she deserves. I only wish she was here with us to enjoy it. just love them, her voice is devine. She also had one of the most beautiful smiles one can find. Even to today, no electronic instument can match her voice. Karen had something that no
other singer can reproduce, and when she left this world she took it with her, her and the music she made will always truly be missed. Her soulfull voice and singing way always make me soar to the deepest of my soul. the closest thing to an angel we'll never see again. Karen Carpenter was the greatest wemon singer who ever lived! She has the most beautiful voice ever on earth, she is one of a kind and I love her and Richard! A hero in her own right, and a voice like no one else's - and damn, she could play the drums like nobody's business! She was an absolute goddess - no contest - with the most fabulous voice ever, no competition at all. THE BEST FEMALE VOCALIST - A pure soul and spirit. You're right...she needed no SEX or striptease behavior to sell her product. She was just a mass of BRIGHT LIGHT and her voice pure and lovely. BEST OF THE BEST. What a great brother and sister duo. Such meaningful songs, whether happy or sad. Karen had the very best female pop voice that I expect to ever, ever hear. Karen you are so beautiful!!! heaven sent voice you have.

Karen and Ella are the greatest voices ever She has a very beautiful voice. It is very natural and not artificial. They were the most peaceful singers the world had ever seen. My heart aches everytime I hear that beautiful voice. If there is a God, I suppose I couldn't blame him/her for wanting it in heaven. I've thought for the last 25 years that she has the best female voice ever in popular music...i haven't changed my mind. Fantastic. Excellent.. She is the best female singer ever! To me, at least! On February 4, 1983, the world lost one of the most beautiful voices ever.
Kwame, dearest, we finally have something special in common that we can share.
With love,
Kenneth
