Karen Carpenter died in 1983. I was 17 years old. I was Very saddened by it, I am 57 years old. And I haven't heard anyone come close to singing like her angelic voice. Bravo to you, dear!
I was also 17 in 1983 when Karen died. I had a special love for Karen. I grew up listening to her on vinyl because my mom absolutely loved the Carpenters. She would put a stack of Carpenters records on the player while we cleaned house. Karen is the one and only musician or celebrity I ever that I remember crying about their loss. She was one of a kind!!
What a fantastic artist! Yes, she has Karen’s perfect voice, but has her own gifts to give us. I hope she has the breakthrough moments that are due her as she is recognized as Tori.
Just wonderful! You were born to sing. I’d love to see you get together with Richard Carpenter and perform these songs. However, your voice is your own, and I’m sure you can sing any type of music. Bravo!
It worked for Leonid and Friends. Hit on TH-cam..then....pow! Danny Seraphine got one of LAFs first Charts on the Chicago web site.....then it's been a non-stop ride ever since.
I'm a long time Carpenters fan. You are the only person I've ever heard that could do justice to these songs since she died. I like that you are not mimicking Karen's voice, it's your unique voice. (And it sounds excellent.) Well done, well done!
I've always loved Karen's unique "one of a kind" voice how smoothly she had a deep voice to go from the high notes to the low notes amazingly. Beautiful music that truly "was before it's time" back to the 70s! Loved singing Close To You myself similarly as kids in my class would ask me to sing it like her! It is fun! ❤
I hope this incredibly blessed young woman recreates every major Carpenters song and goes on tour. I'd pay an insane amount of money to hear that. I hope "Rainy Days and Mondays" is in the works, or any one of a dozen other songs of theirs I can think of. Tori, you are blessing to those of us who have been yearning for decades to hear real music and real talent again. Thank you!
Oh Tori, I have been following you on TikTok for a long time now and I am so happy that you are starting to get the attention you deserve for being the gifted singer that you are! I will be following you career for many years to come!
I’m 66 years old. I never thought I’d hear another singer whose voice I would love as much as Karen Carpenter. Well, here it is! (Not to mention your wholesome beauty and personality…you’r the whole package. Your gift is astounding! I pray the music business grows a brain and propels you to the highest level of stardom! I wish i had money or influence. I would promote you like crazy! Everyone on the planet should hear you sing. As a fellow vocalist, I can assure everyone that you could sing ANYTHING to perfection! Throw us some “Rose Garden” sometime! I’m thrilled to have found this video! I will buy whatever you make, and travel to any concert you do. Reach for the stars girl, YOU WERE MADE FOR GREATNESS!
If Karen came along 50 years after Tori, we'd be saying Karen doesn't sound exactly like Tori. I think we had 55 years to have Karen's voice grow on us, and many here have just heard Tori only very recently. I think she sings Olivia NJ and Ann Wilson of Heart better than the singers themselves. I understand Tori isn't singing that long, and she's only 20, imagine another few years of perfecting her voice. Karen's voice improved nicely as she entered her 20s.
Brava! I have been a Carpenters fan for over 50 years, and I believe Karen Carpenter had the most beautiful voice the world has ever heard. Your cover of their song is amazing! Thank you for keeping Karen’s legacy alive!
There is a very good reason why few try to redo their songs. Karen's voice and styling are untouchable. Not to mention Richard's amazing arranging. Well done young lady. You are bringing a lot of joy to those of us who have yearned to her live voice in these days. A very brave endeavor which you have mastered!
It's so nice to hear a young laady who really knows how to sing as compared to the trash we hear nowadays on the radio. Keep up the great work. Karaokepete.
Yes, you’re spot on correctly right, no talent trash on the radio nowadays in the Billboard pop music with a fake voice with totally fake autotune and low talent. But this girl Tori above can really sing for real with real talent just like The Carpenters, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Diana Ross, Carole King, Carly Simon, Patricia Dahlquist, and one of my very favourites Susan Jacks of the Poppy Family.
I've been a soldier for a long time. People like me we have been born to be this way. You on the other side of the coin were born to make people happy. And you do it very well. Love your voice. Please don't stop . Have you considered writing your own music and recording it . I'd buy it quickly.
Wow!!! I was in high school when the Carpenters were big. It is so nice listening to someone who can cover Karen as good as you do! I look forward to you covering her again as well as your own music.
Wow!! So glad you accepted this challenge! Saw the Carpenters in concert back in 1972. I was amazed that when they sang live they had 2 musicians to fill in for all those double tracks in the studio. I think you hit all the parts!!!
Singing with your hands in your pockets,Lori, is an added ‘so what’ feature that really makes the video. Like walking down the street along with a summer breeze while singing just for yourself. My favorite; Dionne painting her nails during a stage rehearsal as she sang one of her hits. Karen was the same way as she finessed her drum riffs. She was making them her exclamation marks for inflection, which was an integral force unto itself. As others have said, you can’t mimic heart and soul.
Great rendition of Burts big hits with Karen pulling them together. If I close my eyes it's like turning back time but so glad Tori that you are here with your sublime talent.
As a person who was alive when the Carpenters were singing, you do Karen proud. Both of you are beautiful and have the voices of angels! Can't wait to hear more from you!
Having a hard time hearing Karen's voice but seeing your face , just not computing so far . But NEVER STOP singing !! You may become my new favorite singer . Richard Carpenter must be just freaking out !!
I have this observation and theory: Western civilization seemed to have started a downward spiraling into an abys when Karen died - perhaps if the magic she had with her voice is brought back, then we will rescue Western civilization?
I know nothing can replicate the real thing on its prime but this is crazy!The closest thing i've heard to this utopic voice that Karen owned.Gosh!This is unbelievable!
She is real Tori. No comparison needed. This video showcased songs by a writing team, regardless of who recorded them in the past -- not only KC. Tori made a great recording. It is her own.
@@artsmith1347 it's unavoidable not to remember of Karen.But it's also a privilidge that this is Tori's natural vocal colour and not smth she tries to be.Undoubtfully.I think it's about time record companies give her the chance she deserves.
You are truly AMAZING Tori! I don't believe in re-incarnation, but baby girl you are sure making a believer out of me... How is it that you don't have a million plus subscribers yet? I see an UNBELIEVABLE future for you! Just keep doing what you're doing and I PROMISE you your day will come Tori! TRUST ME! Thumbs up and a sub from me... Stay safe... Rico
OMG....fabulous! You are doing what you truly are meant for. Enjoy every moment and continue to perfect your craft. Most importantly, take care of your voice. Treat it as the fine instrument it is. It should be babied to assure it will continue for the decades that you deserve. Stay well, and thank you for so many warm memories.
A handful of years ago, my sisters, my mom, and I went to a Carpenters Tribute show. We had every Carpenters album and knew all those songs beginning to end. That show was the worst insult to the Carpenters that there could ever be! Tori, your voice would be a treat to hear you do a full show of Carpenters music!! Please consider it, you have a new fan!💕
I love Karen Carpenter’s music and her voice, I listen to it all the time. I mean you literally have her voice I’m so surprised❤, god bless your career Tori.
Wow....just wow. I grew up with the Carpenters. I was born in 1968 and don't remember NOT listening to them. No one could match Karen; I used to think, but now I know I was wrong. Run with your talent and keep building onto this rich music that we ALL NEED to hear. BRAVO and God bless you young lady! 😊😊😊
Given your absolute vocal control, superb modulation, perfect not relative pitch and resonance - you have a gift too precious to even measure. Although you are somewhat influenced by Karen Carpenter in this particular case your own style comes across clear. You now own this song in present day form. ❤
Frank, this dropped just days after TH-cam said to me; you might like THIS. My head had barely healed from the explosion and I had a new video to request. I was yet to learn about the Ohio Session. My first reactor said this was too high for Karen and she found Superstar and that showed me the trio of audios, and Christmas was coming! Joe
You started...and my jaw dropped. What a great job by all of you. I remember this medley by the Carpenters so well...what a great tribute and I must say...challenge met!! Thank you so much from an old, lifelong Carpenters fan.😎❤❤
You make twice in recorded music history God has smiled so brightly on Earth's singers! I can't wait to buy every DVD, CD, and Central Florida (please) concert ticket you sell!
Hey that was cool thank you. I'm in the parking lot of the DMV listing to this.....lol. Good stuff. A stage dive into the drum kit behind you would have been cool at the end.
I actually have an identical Karen Carpenter voice, too! I was 18 when she died I was devastated. I especially love singing her Christmas carols. I should probably do this… go to a recording studio and have myself recorded. That would be fun.
This was truly impressive, even more than the WOJB vocal. Your breath control was impressive. The layering on the vocals was also masterfully done. I know you want to be an audio engineer, and you clearly are talented there, but I'd really give this singing thing a real good shot first! You only live once!
Your voice is amazing! I didn't like Do You Know The Way To San Jose until I heard your version. Yes, you can do amazing Carpenters songs, but your singing is wonderful in general. I hope your original songs take off.
Tori, I would gladly buy a ticket to listen to you sing. I don’t have the education or vocabulary to put my finger on it… Timber, Body or phrasing? One of the other commoners said it beautifully - you sing with your own voice without mimicking. But in every other song, it seems like there’s swamp particular note or phrase where you are a perfect match with Karen. One definition of heaven would be to have the two of you on stage together in your primes. Thank you for developing and sharing your gift
Tori I cannot believe how amazing your voice is. I always loved Karen Carpenter and you have given her songs a new life. Might I even say some are sung better by you . Thank you for sharing this amazing giftxx
Karen was such an amazing talent. I never thought I'd hear the like of her again............. you are so young, so talented, and with so long to grow, you will surpass her! Keep singing girl, the world needs you!
Bravo Tori!!! You've been blessed with a gift few people have been given. To sing a Bacharach medley and if I shut my eyes, hear Karen but I also hear you and guess what? I'm happy it's you because the world now will have another amazing singer!!!!
Amazing, Tori. It was like you were dancing on the head of a pin, always about to fall off but you kept your balance and finished the dance. Beautiful....
Tori you give me chills and goosebumps every time. But this one was off the charts as a complete song. I love what you did combining The Tan Album version with a breakout homage to them on Ed Sullivan for the interlude. Awesome! I think of all the folks covering you’re the only one and the best one doing the multipart harmonies. That’s goosebump time. Not to mention your voice and dare I say Richard’s voice is in there, too. Wow! All I can ask for are more full length songs like this. You need a complete band to make it totally yours, is all that’s left. I assume it’s big bucks to license the backing tracks. Richard just turned 77 BTW, but you already knew that I bet. Keep going dear, you are special. Joe
I totally agree w/ you! Tori is a very special young lady and performer! I also hope that she’ll be able to form a band and take her amazing talent across the country in live performances! 👏👏
@@ToriHolub I didn’t mean the actual RC. Just you filling in a lower voice range to fill out the harmonic balance of sound. Whatever you’re doing it’s magical.
Been a Karen Carpenter lover since early 70s. In my opinion, greatest female voice ever. This young woman is incredible! Never thought I would hear this beautiful voice again, and here it is.
Greetings and congratulations..!!! You have really done very very well. Is the contralto (Alto) voice your tessitura ? I thought so. I love knowing that young people like you recognize and admire this singer of that generation. K.C. was undoubtedly one of the best female voices the pop/jazz world has ever had. His voice was angelic and perfect. I congratulate you again and continue your work. You have a beautiful voice... God bless you
Where have you been in my life? Wow, just.... wow. KC would fall out of her chair. keep singing and singing and singing. I am mesmerized to say the least. LOVE, LOVE LOVE that voice. I look forward to much more from you, young lady... You will go places, I promise. Best to you... 🙂
Just wonderful, sorry I missed you last week at Birdland. You will be a sensational performer and have a great future ahead of you. Just stay true to yourself.
Tears of joy here. Absolutely beautiful.
Karen Carpenter died in 1983. I was 17 years old. I was Very saddened by it, I am 57 years old. And I haven't heard anyone come close to singing like her angelic voice. Bravo to you, dear!
She could be a reincarnation of Karen Carpenter. I do detect a slight difference in the voice but no less angelic.

The best Karen Carpenter cover in existence. Now if you could jam on the drums at the same time like she did, I'd be picking my jaw up off the floor!
oh well, one can't have everything, one out of two ain't bad
am settling for her voice being returned to the world - there are a number of great drummers
How are you not blowing the charts up? Best female vocalist I've heard in a long, long time!
Even her speaking voice is beautiful.
WHERE have these videos been for the last 4 months? She is AMAZING!

I’ve never heard anyone ever cover this song. Congratulations you did it!!! Well done
Wow! Just plain wow!
It's refreshing to hear a simply beautiful voice with no gimmicks or autotune.
Absolutely sublime! You bring a vulnerability and a slight sweetness to Karen's perfect singing voice. This is special. Thank you for sharing Tori!
Thank you!!

Try her Merry Christmas, Darling. Tell what you think, then. 🤷🏻♂️❤️ Search it with her name. Not on her channel.
I heard Karen after the first note
I have no idea how many times I have rewatched this. It makes me long for you to do more full length covers. Love your stuff!
OMG I don't know what to say Hallelujah maybe. I think people need this wonderful, peaceful, dynamic voice now :)
I have this observation and theory:
Western civilization seemed to have started a downward spiraling into an abys when Karen died - perhaps if the magic she had with her voice is brought back, then we will rescue Western civilization?
Such a beautiful voice and so much ability to sing these songs, not an easy task but she was masterful in the way she did it. Bravo young lady. 😊
I've taught music for over 40 years.
The only thing I have to say is... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stunning. Hands down winner on The Voice or American Idol.
No she wouldn't. As good as she is - and she IS amazing! - those programs are looking for something never heard before.

I love knowing that young people like you recognize and admire this singer of that generation. K.C. was undoubtedly one of the best female voices the pop/jazz world has ever had. His voice was angelic and perfect.
I congratulate you again and continue your work. You have a beautiful voice... God bless you
You make me cry. You do these songs in a way that only Karen Carpenter was ever able to do. Wow! Incredible!
Thanks to you Karen is alive!❤
Excellent what more can I say 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Where have you been in my life? Wow, just.... wow. KC would fall out of her chair. keep singing and singing and singing. I am mesmerized to say the least. LOVE, LOVE LOVE that voice. I look forward to much more from you, young lady... You will go places, I promise. Best to you... 🙂
Tori, when all these players and the multi track machine is set up, PLEASE consider doing Mr. Guder. Thanks
Fabulous! And singing both Richard and Karen's part on "Walk on By" must have been very difficult, but you made it look easy. ❤
Pppp😅
Wow! Some of those songs are really hard to sing. You did a spectacular job. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Well done! I would love to hear you sing Snowbird by Anne Murray
Smooth as silk! Gorgeous voice!
Thank you!!
Amazing voice!
Just wonderful, sorry I missed you last week at Birdland. You will be a sensational performer and have a great future ahead of you. Just stay true to yourself.
