    To be clear... this is a completely re-tracked version. Tori is the real deal.. and fabulous. She's not Karen, never will be. But she's 100% Tori... and that's something to really be excited about.

    Thing is, she's not trying to be Karen. She's trying to be Tori, who strongly resembles Karen in vocal range and tonal quality. She also covered some Olivia Newton-John songs. I love this girl, and can't wait to see where she takes her career. I so hope for a renaissance of this musical genre!

    But she's not Karen so get over it...but still you know she's the best thus far so stop fine picking and just sit back and enjoy....

  • @eggietheggman

    No need to nit-pick. She’s not trying to imitate Karen, which nobody can. As a musician you should know that no two people would ever sound the same. You are spending more time criticizing Tori instead of enjoying what she’s put out which nobody has done before. You seem to be missing the point that this recording took a lot of work to sync each clip and how many takes it must have taken to put this together. Try listening without stopping. Give them the credit they deserve instead of picking up on the little things. After all, this is entertainment for our enjoyment.

    I think you're wrong - Tori's actually better. There's a video in TH-cam with the two singing side by side. Tori's the richer.

  • @SAnnun-hs1io

    Your over emphasis on the differences actually did undermine an enjoyment of the reaction for me. No one will ever sound just like Karen, but I'll bet she's smiling down on this gifted 20 yr. old who is paying the ultimate compliment to the contribution that she and Richard made. Like you, I'm very familiar with the subtleties of the Carpenters sound, but I much more enjoyed your initial reaction to hearing Tori's voice and the subsequent genuine emotion you showed than the heavy emphasis on technical differences. Just my opinion though.

  • @artfartzy

    Sorry to much nitpicking lol

  • @johnsimon2988

    Hm. It's a tribute not a Dolly the sheep scenario. Karen was born with her voice and Tori was born with hers. Did you almost cry? Then I feel you got what you needed from the music. Nostalgia induced by a 20 year old kid! isn't that a ridiculous sentence? Your nitpicking as you call it, is bit of a down turn for me. Tori was sublime and stands on her own merits. Perhaps I was mistaken when I though we the listeners were getting some upbeat reactions. Your backhanded complements are odd. She isn't Karen and if you read her own words, she's not trying to be Karen. Still gave you a thumbs up. Peace. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • @Scuffed_Andy

    Karen always makes this old dude cry like a baby. So does Tori. Thanks Tori.

    Woah, i didn't hear them say they're the Carpenters, or Karen !!??. They're just doing a cover in tribute ?!.. And stopping every second and a half to tell us your " nit pic" opinion just made me close the reaction..

  • @GA-1st
    @GA-1st  +14

    I can't say your nitpicks were wrong. But your crying was the most valuable reaction, don't you think?.

  • @stevemclean5787

    Karen is Karen. Tori will never be Karen but what she's bringing to the table is something no one has to date. She's able to evoke emotions and feelings created by Karen's voice in decades.

  • @lisamaggart952

    I think Tori's voice sounds so similar to Karen's that it gave you a visceral reaction and brought up so many emotions.

  • @victordegrande1628

    She is amazing, isn't she? She may not quite have Karen's lower register, but the first time I heard Tori sing, I had tears in my eyes. I had waited nearly half a century to hear someone else who could sing like Karen, and I hope she gets the chance to record her own music someday.

  • @pekinpanther

    I had the same reaction to hearing Tori as you did Larry. I never thought I would hear someone so close to Karen. Thanks for reviewing this.

  • @ronraskind

    Firstly, this is not just a cover. It is a reincarnation of the Carpenter sound! I agree on some of the comparisons you mentioned, but this is not Tori trying to be Karen. This is pretty much her natural voice! She has other artist covers and an original and still the vocals have some Karen vibe.

  • @christopheryochum3602

    Larry! Enjoyed the reaction. What you may not know is that, despite Tori's affection for Karen and her incorporating nuances to her singing as homage, she's stated she doesn't think she sounds like Karen. She just loves Karens's singing and happens to be a fabulous singer (covers or no). I got what you were saying about Karen's strength on the lower tones. I think Tori has a rounder, softer timbre, whereas Karen had a lot of overtones to her sound, which is what made her voice so nice to listen to. And the overtones were very present at the lower end of her range.

  • @PopHorizonScanner

    Your points are well-taken. Her personality comes across as such that she would be the first to admit that she falls short of Karen's vocals. She seems humble and full of respect for Karen and Richard Carpenter. Tori also has some TH-cam shorts covering bits of covers of Olivia Newton John, and those also greatly impressed me such as in "Have You Never Been Mellow" when she sings "now I don't mean to make you frown." Her story is even more fascinating when one realizes that Tori gave her first performance to a larger audience only a couple weeks ago. It's almost miraculous that someone with a voice like hers also has such a deep love for these older songs.

  • @Marilyn-zw3og

    I adore the Carpenters… I miss Karen and when I first heard Tori I cried buckets.. ❤

  • @ruedigerfriebel8454

    Exactly, go listen, I couldn't believe it, but it is a 10/10
