  • If you don't know about Lena Zavaroni, you are missing out on one of the world's most amazing natural talents. Unfortunately the world lost Lena in 1999 at the age of 35. Such a loss.

    when i watch this i see a talented little girl who was torn away from her family to make it big and was given success and everything she could want but was depressed through it all. she had so much charisma and passion but was shown off to the world at a young young age. and she grew to be even more famous and amazing but was fighting deppression and anorexia. and sadly died pennieless because of money grabbers. its a shame. r.i.p babygirl

    Until i watched this i had never heard Lena Zavaroni sing and it brought tears to my eyes that just like Karen Carpenter,this girl with an amazing voice succumbed to anorexia that ultimately ended both lives at the age I am now.
    Very sad.

    I hate to find out that this lovely young lady has passed away. What a terrible loss for her family, and the world at large.

    Her voice sounded like Broadway, like a singing talent that could boom across an entire theater.
    Some people see beauty in talent like that with a beautiful person behind it.
    Other poeple only see dollar signs.
    If the people I counted on were just using me I would be depressed too.

    i,like a previous commenter had a crush on lena.watching these vids again not only the fantastic voice,she was cute,charming and definately had the x factor.maybe if she had the help and guidance afforded to child stars these days she would not have developed her illness.unfortunately we´ll never know.RIP lena

    have you seen the 4 part documentary on youtube about her it is very interesting, so tragic a powerhouse voice lost.

    I haven't seen this since my parents let me stay up late to watch it, as a 10 year old myself, in 1974! (And I loved it then too!!)
    And to think, this clip was posted on what would have been Lena's 44th birthday, 4th November 2007.
    Thanks so much for posting this!

    wow. i wasn't expecting that. what a pro and a talent. it's as though...having that kind of talent, it must have been almost overwhelming. she must have felt like she was in constant competition with herself. sigh.....

    its amazing to hear such a talented young singer from the 70s...
    fast forward today
    everyone is captivated by a puny voiced marginally talented singer called connie talbot....

    totally agree with you - i cannot stand connie talbot!! argh she's so annoying and vibrates her voice so much

  • @mikeylorene
    @mikeylorene 15 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Oh, you've changed the story, Tilly... now she didn't die alone in a council house?
    Lena was a grown up adult and made her own choices. For goodness sakes, stop meddling in whose "fault" it was. It's distressing enough without your insistence on criminalizing what happened to Lena- why not go over to the Karen Carpenter boards and nail HER parents- and maybe her brother and agent?

  • @alfie1438

    Great little voice in a different class to connie lena had power in her voice unlike connies silly annoying sound

  • @ralucagymnast
    @ralucagymnast 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I hope thats a joke. Connie will never be as good as Lena was. She hasnt got the natural power and variety of range.She is just a cute little girl and nothing more. Sorry.

  • @alfie1438
    @alfie1438 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Connie wont be around long enough anyway as she is just a flash in the pan with the ahhh factor....one word Talentless

    She's not too bad but she wouldn't make a pimple on Connie Talbot's butt.
