I don’t know what to say? Can’t believe they are both gone. Olivia, as many others have stated, did a fabulous job of almost making it seem like Karen was there singing the song! RIP to two amazing women😢
I've never heard anyone come close to Karen Carpenter's voice , I have to say Olivia Newton John does a beautiful rendition of Karen's song. Bravo! Olivia. 👍❤😊🎤
Two great vocalists. Two different styles. This not a competition or an effort to imitate Karen. It's simply a tribute to Karen from a dear friend. Lovely.
@victorhugosilvaescalante8739 they had wanted to for years, but both were on such tight schedules it sadly never happened. And Karen was so young when she passed. So they just kinda suddenly (& shockingly) ran out of time to do it. One of the saddest things to me is seeing Olivia half run out of the church at the end of Karen's funeral and before the casket is put into the hearse. She was an honorary pallbearer for Karen. So, so sad for her to pass so young.
@@SayItAintSo4realI just saw another video of them both on Mike Douglas from 1981, and Karen was explaining how hard it was for them to even get together for a quick lunch, because of their busy schedules.
The best 2 pure female singers I've ever heard in my life. If heaven exists, and we truly go up with a singing angel on each arm, I pray mine are Karen & Olivia. Both voices just make my eyes fill when I hear them. RIP!!
Karen is looking down from heaven smiling at your performance honoring her Liv. So touchingly beautiful. There are people God put in the world to beautify it , and Karen and Olivia are two of the absolute finest.
It's unfair to compare two singers who are good in their own right. They were friends and ONJ is just singing one of KC's songs in remembrance of her, not trying to sound like her.
You are EXACTLY right! If people hadn't kept doing that comparison crap and Keren's Mom would have showed Karen love, she would have had anorexia. That Epicac (off the market) is what killed her along with having no control of her own God-given life.
I know what you mean. Sadly enough her Daughter Chloe battled Anorexia as well as Addiction. She got well but Karen didn't. Oh here's another fun fact Skeeter Davis's "The End Of The World" would later inspire "Hopelessly Devoted To You" for Grease. Kimberley Walsh of the UK Group Girls Aloud who are the most successful Group to come out of Reality TV did her version of "Rainy Days & Mondays" on a TV Special.
@@byronharkey9166 have you seen here on youtube. petula clark's tribute to karen, only days after karen had passed, with Petula singing "for all we know" in concert in London? watch the video.. it will (makes me at least!) make you bawl...
I love Olivia newton John. And even she. Can't even come close to that angelic voice of Karen Anne carpenter. Thank you for the tribute.. We love you Karen Anne 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I heard her sing in vegas and the hollywood bowl and the Ampitheater AND The long beach terrace theater which i enjoyed the most w their christmas songs in november 1978! Merry xmas darling in person!!! What a great evening! I met Karen at our dentist in Downey in oct 1976!! She was so nice to me!
Olivia Newton-John, you've just made me cry with this beautiful tribute. It's a great thing that you got to be great friends with Karen our beloved angel.
Download Carla Williams the resemblance is amazing. Love and Prayers from Canada. If you get a chance to read Olivias book "Don't Stop Believin" it ys an awesome read 🇨🇦❤🙏🕊🌹
Yes, KD might be the only person I can think of that could do justice to some of Karen's classics. She recorded a version of the Joni Mitchell song "Help Me" which is really fantastic. But honestly, in my opinion, Karen's music should just be left alone, some things are so perfect that they shouldn't be messed with.
The one word that comes to mind when speaking of Our Karen is "tone". Karen owned a tone that will never be matched. Godspeed for one of the purest voices to ever live.
Remembering Karen Carpenter and Olivia Newton-John both two amazingly beautiful angels and talented angelic voices. BFF's May their souls Rest in peace 🕊️✌️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😇 FOREVER sending a love and peace to both of these angelic girls. BLESS THEIR SOULS IN Heaven Father God.
Nadie , pero nadie, podía haberse acercado tanto a la tacitura de la voz de Karen Carpentier, a mi juicio la voz más dulce del planeta, si señor, nadie cómo Karen, 🌹🌺🌷🌺🌹🌷
This video wasn't uploaded to create rivalry between two very successful and completely different singing talents. It's here, demonstrating Olivia Newton-John's appreciation for Karen Carpenter voice.
None can match her voice. In the 50 years since Karen came on the scene, not a single voice has even really come close to sounding so utterly crystal pure. Her instrument was simply one of a kind.
Nothing better to see her best friend ever Olivia Newton-John imagine the legendary Olivia Newton-John giving such a heartfelt tribute to Karen Carpenter the angel the drama who can sing Olivia Newton-John thank you so much but doing it the way you do thing you do a name your style in Manor to my angel Karen Carpenter restinpeace you're the best drummer singer ever in all-time you're truly an angel and a gift who always remember miss Karen Carpenter
I absolutely love Karen and Richard - their songs are my life and heart. Olivia's voice has great emotion and depth and i am broken that she too is gone. This was so beautiful xo #RIP I hope Richard Carpenter is keeping well - we love you.
They both admired each other's talents....Olivia mentions and writes a bit about Karen in her biography....she even appeared on Olivia's HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS tv special...
Olivia such a beautiful talented woman, who remembered another beautiful talented woman. Great job, love the song. Closed my eyes and saw Karen smiling down at you. God bless you and I pray that he defeats this cancer in you.
Después de muchos años he vuelto a escuchar a una mujer excepcional. A Olivia Newton John . Su voz maravillosa , su melodía, su sonrisa, simpatía, y con elegancia recordando a otra inmensa intérprete como Karen Carpenter. Hoy , ya están las dos cantando juntas en el cielo. Dos estrellas ⭐️ ⭐️ nos iluminan. Olivia, que gran persona y artista. Buen viaje 🥰
I got a chance to see them both when I was young and they were starting out (early 70s) . Saw the Carpenters when they came to my Jr High and Karen was still playing the drums and Saw Olivia Newton John in 74, at Disneyland on grad night. After seeing them I became a life long fan of both and still listen to their music on Spotify and Pandora.
Just beautiful. God bless her. May The Lord Jesus heal Olivia of cancer once again for His Glory so that all my see His Loving Power. What a wonderful tribute to Karen. Lovely Olivia, just lovely. †
"religion" may be or seem "toxic" but Jesus is Not. Believing in Him is not a "religion" but a relationship with God who created and loves us. The One who died for us with our sins and pain on his back. He "layed" in the ground for me and for you. It is your choice whether to read what I write or not. The choice is yours. However, I shall never stop sharing His Love with The world
@@Loki1982axala yes they sure are hilarious, they don't really think things through, they have zero common sense, God turns off the common sense part of their brain.
Qué gran regalo. Escuchar una canción de la inolvidable Karen en la voz de otra grande, de otra inolvidable... Olivia. Saludos desde Cuernavaca, Mor. México.
So sad Karen did not have the will to fight her disease while Olivia battled cancer and hopefully made it. Thanks for this tribute, I can see and hear Olivia is deeply moved.
This makes me so sad that I was in tears before the end. What a beautiful tribute to Karen and so very special and sweet that Olivia included it in one of her concerts. Even after more than 40 years, it still kills me that Karen died so young. Thank you for sharing this. RIP Olivia and Karen.
As a kid, I remember reading how Karen could record her singing in 1 take. That impressed me even to this day at age 62. I'll always remember her death as it happened in my Army AIT at Ft Eustis, Virginia. Her death was my biggest memory.
A beautiful tribute from the love of my life to the favorite voice of my life! Rest in Peace beautiful angel! You and Karen have given me so much! I love you both!❤❤
If just have been so hard for Olivia to watch her daughter suffer anorexia after losing her friend Karen to the same dreadful disease. Thankfully her daughter recovered and got better.
I don’t know what to say? Can’t believe they are both gone. Olivia, as many others have stated, did a fabulous job of almost making it seem like Karen was there singing the song! RIP to two amazing women😢
Beautiful women with amazing voices. Now they're both gone but their music will live forever
....two Angels in Heaven❣....Great Voices forever...
Las amo con todo mi ❤❤❤.
Rest in Peace, Karen and Olivia ♥️🙏🏻
I never get tired of listening to either of these great ladies.
Olivia isn't often mentioned as a great singer, but to me she was/is excellent. So in-tune!
Of course, Karen was from another world.
I've never heard anyone come close to Karen Carpenter's voice , I have to say Olivia Newton John does a beautiful rendition of Karen's song. Bravo! Olivia. 👍❤😊🎤
probably my two favorite female singers from the 1970s
Best friends in life, reunited in heaven. Now, singing the most beautiful duets.
Two great vocalists. Two different styles. This not a competition or an effort to imitate Karen. It's simply a tribute to Karen from a dear friend. Lovely.

Absolutely beautiful both were born with a beautiful voice that’s for sure ❤❤
Two angels. Never to be repeated. 😢❤
Absolutely beautiful Olivia. Karen would be proud.
Thank you Pam I think so too
I agree with you Pam
Karen might even want to sing a duet with Olivia on some of these songs.
She is the only one ALLOWED to sing Karen Anne. She loved her. 💞🌹🌷💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹
Petula Clark can. They were besties as well.
@@markberryhill2715 true also
My mom use to play both of them all the time
@markberryhill2715 yes absolutely petula also
Beautiful tribute, Olivia. Thank you....Please say hello to Karen from all of us. We miss you both.
Amen❤❤
Yes we miss them both.
Beautiful tribute to them both, @Sarasdad91. Thank you. And I have no doubts that they are back together again, singing in heaven.
Rest in peace Olivia Newton-John and Karen Carpenter. Two great singers!
😥
I am a huge Karen Carpenter fan and I also love Olivia too! This is so touching.
The best version of that song next to the original I ever heard, no wonder another angel singing it ! RIP Karen and Olivia 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BFF's karen and olivia are together now in heaven

You're exactly right, but everyone nowadays has to make everything a competition. Lol
Great tribute video.
@@chrisb8655 Totally agree Chris
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦😀
They were best friends. But both were so busy with their careers. ONJ Angel is with Angel Karen. R.I.P. 🙏😞😢❤
You are EXACTLY right! If people hadn't kept doing that comparison crap and Keren's Mom would have showed Karen love, she would have had anorexia. That Epicac (off the market) is what killed her along with having no control of her own God-given life.
That's right
It OK to have tears in my eyes.my heart love karen so much
can't believe olivia got thru the song without bawling... beautiful but so so sad....

Right, so much emotion, how didn’t she cry, they were good friends.
Kare was also friends w Petula Clark!
she misses Karen and John Denver too

And even she.
Can't even come close to that angelic voice of Karen Anne carpenter.
Thank you for the tribute..
We love you Karen Anne

and even Olivia would admit that, no crime or shame in that, in that NO WOMAN could match karen's voice...

What a great evening!
I met Karen at our dentist in Downey in oct 1976!! She was so nice to me!
Two talented and classy ladies who were great friends.
I can’t believe Olivia Newton John has been gone almost 2 years. She was part of my childhood.
pure class, dont see that anymore these days.
Olivia Newton-John, you've just made me cry with this beautiful tribute. It's a great thing that you got to be great friends with Karen our beloved angel.
Olivia introduced Karen's songs to a new generation ❤⚘
@@cazpk6840 so did Agnetha from Abba. Check out her version of "The end of the world".
when one incredibly beautiful legendary voice pays homage to another incredibly beautiful legendary voice its hard to go wrong!
Both.of you RIP 🎵🎶🎼🥰👍✝️👑❤️
No other singer can duplicate that depth of feeling that Karen had.
I agree. Who could have done a better job? "Hopelessly devoted to you" vs "Close to you". Both were exceptional at emoting the depth of a song.
Download Carla Williams the resemblance is amazing. Love and Prayers from Canada. If you get a chance to read Olivias book "Don't Stop Believin" it ys an awesome read

I would love to hear KD Lang cover some of this material.
Yes, KD might be the only person I can think of that could do justice to some of Karen's classics. She recorded a version of the Joni Mitchell song "Help Me" which is really fantastic. But honestly, in my opinion, Karen's music should just be left alone, some things are so perfect that they shouldn't be messed with.
@@davidsheriff9274good point and I agree.
Lovely, thanks for posting this. No other singer could have done a better job for her dear friend than classy Olivia.
That was awesome from Olivia - so much warmth in her tone.
such beautiful girls, 😢 we have lost
Very nice rendition, and Olivia does the song justice, in her tribute to her sister, Karen.
The one word that comes to mind when speaking of Our Karen is "tone".
Karen owned a tone that will never be matched.
Godspeed for one of the purest voices to ever live.
RIP They're together in Heaven now. Loved them both in 2022! Beautiful souls!
I grow up loving Karen and Olivia (Donna Summer too). Super talented and sweet ladies. I’ll always love them.
What a lovely voice they had !! Big respect for both of them.
Beautiful tribute to Karen x
I loved music of the 70s carpenters were the best !

Twenty years after Karen's passing and she is so missed, especially by her close friend, ONJ. A sincere tribute.

Now they can due the duets. Singers we have lost to never hear new works from is growing. Losing the best. RIP to all.
Both equally gifted peers that respected each other! Olivia absolutely did Karen's song justice! Olivia's signature vibrato beautiful!
Bravissima.olivia❤❤❤
Very nice tribute from Olivia who is another one with a beautiful voice and is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside

No se pueden comparar una soprano con una messosoprano, son dos tonos de voces diferentes que combinan muy bien si alguna vez hubieran cantado juntas.
2 Angels now in heaven . RIP Liv & Karen

Both iconic, angelic voices! Both now joyfully singing with the angels in heaven❤❤❤
Two of my favorite vocalists.

Very welcome Phoenix Rising!
Wow! The ending just gets your heart. How she must miss Karen. 😪

ONJ is a legend, but Karen Carpenter is another level. Friends reunited at last. Love them both.
Oh Olivia your voice is just as heavenly as Karen's. We're very lucky we still have you to this day. Appreciate both you much🙏

So sad Karen left us way to soon.
