Any news on more from Tori? Or a UK tour perhaps😂
@@mjsarlgm just that she stayed longer in L.A. to shoot a music video for Something To Believe In. Some photos of her on a green wall set with other actors.
@@jbs256 Many thanks!
Tori is a breath of fresh air in a cloud of musical pollution. 🌹
Cannot believe that she doesn't already have a record deal. The recording companies put out garbage regularly and this girl is talented but ignored. I would buy any record she puts out.
Being a great singer is one thing , being a good songwriter is another. There are a ton of great singers who can emulate other singers but can't write a decent original song to save their lives. If videos of her original songs begin to garner 1 million views or likes then the record labels will come knocking. For them its strictly about profits not talent. They would look at her Carpenters covers as a nostalgia act , something to be in Vegas.
@@rogerdaly6326 she writes songs and that’s on the agenda wiith Jim. On her Instagram her Top 5 videos total over 10 Million views. So we shall see.
@@rogerdaly6326 Who said anything about song writing? All I did was say that she's a great singer and record companies are dumb for putting out the garbage today and ignoring talented singers like Tori. There are many, many singers who do not write songs.
@@rogerdaly6326 You must work for a record company.
@@dt8787 Don't work for a record company but i've been a music fan since i was 10 yrs old (1975). In high school my friends father was the general manager of an independant record store chain where we live. I learned a lot about the criteria stores use when stocking product. I'm also a multi - instrumentalist , guitar being my first instrument. I know a lot of great guitar players that can play most of the classic rock guitar oriented music we grew up with. Good ear , good technique but struggle with writing original music. Most wind up in cover bands being sports bar rockstars every weekend. Now many musicians that can play other peoples music very well sometimes focus on onr artist they like and form tribute bands. There has been a rise in tribute bands the last 15 yrs and there are some real good ones out there. Sadly the music industry is putting out a lot of terrible music. Part of the problem is people don't really need record labels like they used to. You can buy some great recording software and make quality music in a home studio. This however leads to anybody that can afford the software can make a record at home regardless of their abilty or talent level therefore flooding the market through streaming platforms with a ton of sub par music. Add to it the mediocre singers using autotune or other pitch correction programs and there are too many average singers writing average songs being pushed on the public. Tori is a great singer with an uncanny ability to sound like Karen Carpenter and i hope she's able to get people behind her original music cause god knows we need more great singers like her to be heard.
Someone PLEASE get this young lady into a recording studio ASAP!
I love the stuff Tori has already done on her channel, but I'm sure we've all got the point by now: this is a set of pipes with no lack of cultural resonance. But what we need to hear now is a collection of brilliant NEW compositions that Tori can put HER OWN stamp on - and that we all can enjoy to our heart's content.
An album by Tori Holub will by a "Day One" purchase for me - and I'm sure many others!
You and me both!
Bert Bacharac said Karen was the most natural singer he was fortunate to work with.RIP Karen.
Burt Bacharach knew what he was talking about - having worked with the best of the best.
@@SteveWeaverIvyfield so did Paul Williams. Go check Tori’s acoustic cover of Rainy Days w/Jordan on her Instagram and look for the comment from @paulielama2
So true. RIP Burt Bacharach, as well.
Tori, I grew up on Carpenters music as a child. I am 61 now and your voice is stunning. I am so grateful to hear you sing the song "Something in Your Eyes". Obviously comparisons to Karen do happen, however I hope you are able to take that lovely voice of yours and create your own path. You have a precious gift and I thank you for sharing it. edit: And Joe, thank you for this post!
You are most welcome!
Saw the Carpenters live in Las Vegas on my honeymoon. Remember it like it was yesterday once more....
There is no technological safety net, it's not pitch perfect but this is live and its real. Just a brilliant beautiful voice. Thank you Tori.
…actually. Because of the troll bugging Tori. I found an iOS software to remove the piano. I then pitch monitored her rendition of Something. OMG she’s PITCH PERFECT her “Eyes” run was bang on the G4. Easily could be accused of being pitch corrected, BUT ISN’T! She nailed a good number of notes in the song. I recorded this Live and no post anything, I just posted it to TH-cam. Raw as in shot it. She is amazing! Her second live anywhere.
Tori is definitely the real deal, these recent live performances show that clearly. The nerves are there (just adorable how she was clutching her gown at points), but the more she does it he easier it will get. Someone needs to help her put together a release of Something In Your Eyes. It would probably be way too much to ask to have Richard Carpenter do it, so another pro needs to step up and get this done. If no pros will do it maybe she can work it out with Jim Wilkas, he's certainly capable of putting together an amazing recording of that song. We need this needs to happen!
Tori sounds just like Karen Carpenter to me. I can see why Richard loves her voice. Great job, Tori!😊👍🌹🎶
Besides being ridiculously talented she is just so nice and humble, what a wonderful young lady!
Karen had the most beautiful voice for a woman... I was a fan n almost pessimistic that no other person can sing like her.. Until now...
Tori you are a gift from God n for all of us who are a fans of Carpenter..
Thank u dear Tori...
No other person *can* sing like Karen, and most likely no one ever will. She was lightning in a bottle. But Tori has a very nice voice.
I agree wholeheartedly!! No one can sing like Karen. And no one ever will.
Tori, I'm just so happy for you, not everyone gets to song with Richard. I guess your voice reminds him so much of his Sister, it must be a real honor, congratulations.
She didn't sing with Richard. He wasn't there at the church where she sang.
@Choirguy95 Richard was not at the church that night. Tori did NOT sing to Richard's accompaniment. It's a dadgum crying shame that this falsehood has gotten started. Richard and Mary did come to the final event of the 55th Celebration held at the Embassy Suites in Downey. Please get your facts straight.
Maybe Richard saw the video. Someone should send him the link on one of his videos. @@SayItAintSo4real
Bravo!
Please correct this. Tori sang on Thursday, Richard appeared on Saturday. They did not sing together.
Beautiful natural voice, rare today, thank you
Thanks Joe! Tori’s performance was great! I’m sure the people there were totally amazed and delighted with her singing. 👍
I said in another reply, my iPhone didn’t pick up the audible gasp when Tori started. ❤
Tori is so wonderfully natural and effortless in her vocals. But more importantly, the honesty in her self-expression reveals a singular inner joy that even Karen did not have. And darn, what courage it took to put her own stamp on THAT particular song in a setting like that. What an admirable young woman!
Want some serious goosebumps. Search Tori’s channel for her original stab at Something. About 2 years ago she introduced it and sang a bit. A short, of course. Younger, brown hair and OMG. Close your eyes and it’s full on Karen singing it. She toned it back for the 55th, but only a little. The opening line told me she was in “Homage Mode.” She and Jim absolutely need to do this as one of their not Carpenters/is Carpenters covers. It was the 55th committee that asked for this song. Someone saw her short, or they were just clairvoyant. No one has covered this song better. 🙏❤️
Tori is such a warm genuine young Lady with such a beautiful gift. It's amazing she only discovered it, per Tori, in the last few years. Wishing her a long and wonderful career, whatever she wants to do, her skies the limit !!!!!
So pure and beautiful.
Music the way God intended.
Great job Joe! It's wonderful to have these moments captured for eternity. We may look back on them and say we were there.
Absolutely! ❤
Lucky you Joe, I would have loved to have been there, however living across the world's largest ocean put this beyond my means. A very good reception to Tori by those fortunate enough to be in attendance.
I still remember my feelings when I saw the program. I knew she was going to do Yesterday Once More, her Crooners debut sealed that deal. When I saw that “Eyes” was the first song, I got a little shivers. I’ve heard 17/18 year old Tori explain and sing it in the short. I think I showed that to you? What my iPhone didn’t capture but I heard and felt was the audible gasp when she got rolling into the song. I’m guessing 80% of the audience had no idea who Tori is and what was about to happen. They got that introduction, that night. I wasn’t the only one getting the goosebumps then.
Tori, you're such an Inspiration to others, who are so inspired, like you. Hoping you achieve whatever you wish in life. You truly are So Gifted. Stay Safe and Well, young lady. ❤Greetings from N.Kentucky USA Y'All 🇺🇸 ⚘️
Very cool. Wings of Pegasus introduced me to Tori. (Wish I could have heard it better. ) awesome to have met Richard too.
There’s another recording coming. I hope he was tied into the sound system. He also recorded the interview I linked. 🙏
Stunning natural talent! She comes across so real , so relatable... like the stunningly naturally talented girl next door 😉 lol Tori, you are lovely. Wishing you all the very Best! ✌️
Tori, your have a beautiful voice. Your tone, phrasing and articulation on point; you tell the stories with emotion and spirit. However, you are not the reincarnation of Karen Carpenter, because of a missing sadness and melancholy in YOUR tone. However, I love to listen to your versions nonetheless, even though you lack some of the sadness and humor that gave Karen's vocals a sense of desperation to be heard and felt. Thanks to her brother's arraignments she could tell a story like no other and her talent should never be forgotten. That is why I admire you so much...your engineering skills amaze me for someone of your age...you should be proud of your talent vocally and electronically. Thank you for helping people re-experience the excitement of past live performances; and best of luck in the future, I am looking forward to you sharing more of your impressive talents.
Simply love Tori’s voice she is absolutely amazing ❤ Tori keep singing at those live performances 😁
Beautiful voice of an equally beautiful lady!
Big fan of Tori. Looking forward to music from her in the future. Like everyone else, I'm hoping for a collaboration with Richard.
They could record an album of classics and also a few songs by Richard that Karen wasn't able to record.
So Good Tori, I love your voice and can't wait till you release your first album.
This warms my heart. I've been following this amazing young lady's work for a few months, and I'm beyond impressed. I've been a long time Carpenters fan, and we finally have someone who can do her justice. Such a beautiful voice, so beautifully done and with such taste!
What I’ve been thinking from day one last October when TH-cam said “you may like THIS!” 🤯
hi Tori i read somewhere singing comes from inner beauty giving joy and healing…must be true keep up the good work
What a beautiful voice. I wish I was there.
Thank you for bringing this to us Joe. Such a talented young lady, just love her voice!
Very talented and I love her choices of song. Thanks Tori. Great to meet you. X
My TH-cam feed is dire straits, skynyrd, Boston, brubek, and now you, Tori. Great stuff!
I am such a fan of yours. The more I hear you sing, the more I love to listen to you. I find myself getting on my phone and just playing one song after another of yours. You are an amazing young lady with an absolutely beautiful voice. I always loved the Carpenters and had the song, For All We Know, sung at my wedding but I am so glad to have those songs revived by you. I hope you get a recording contract soon because I'm anxious to buy whatever you put out because I know it will be great.
Brilliant, amazing performance
Nice..
Outstanding talent please make a record
Just an FYI, she has 5 songs on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music and all the larger services. More coming. Also long form audios/videos on TH-cam.
@@jbs256 Thanks so much
Thanks so much for posting. Must have been fabulous to be there and see Tori in person. Hope you got a chance to say hello. And thanks for all your efforts in highlighting her to reactors.
Hello, pictures and such. She is as nice as you can imagine and her dad was cool too and we kept chatting over the days. Then Richard shows up and all our 🤯
She's something special Joseph!, wish I could of been there! 💖
That she is and so nice too. Her dad is a cool guy, too. This was all video’d and the Richard, Gayle and Earle interviews, too. A lot of editing to come for Chip the videographer.
@@jbs256 Awesome! can't wait to see it!
@@harveystig9704 me too! I was there and it was all so fast and amazing that I’d like to just sit down and watch what I saw. Of course when Richard walked in I fumbled my iPhone and missed the record button! Arrrrrgh. I just changed the thumbnail on my Tori’s Live video . I think it’s better 😎
What a voice. So refreshing... best of luck as u navigate the music industry.
tori wow you don't get much better than that you have an amazing voice and i hope that all your dreams come true x
Magnificent ❤
Very nice. Love the Carpenters. I’m sure you have a very bright future.
Beautiful voice.
I was lucky enough to see the carpenters live. I’m of that age and there was nothing like them when Karen’s passing. It’s one of those where you know where you were and what time of day you heard the news and your heart sank.
Timing was not for me to see Carpenters live. A great regret of my life. Karen;a death hit me hard, too. I also feel blessed to have been here to see Tori so early in her career. IMHO I think she’s only just begun.
i have patiently been waiting for this thank you for sharing this with the world she is amazing
Tori has such an incredible voice. Thank you for sharing this.
Outstanding!❤
That was very good, I loved it...more, more, more!
So very lovely. 🥰
Wow! Tori, your voice is so beautiful! I grew up listening to her! She would be proud! Never stop singing ❤
Thanks for this. I'm hoping this young woman takes off. And hope she doesn't suffer from any of KC's demons. Being 2024 such a disease is better tamped down. I enjoy her down to earth personality. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
She is very sweet and down to earth. She’s totally normal to my observations and is blessed with a golden voice. Not to mention crazy technical skills. All her short videos are self produced and are for the most part, not simple.
Tori is also such a sweet and classy person 🥰
No arguments from me ❤️ Oh and did you notice, she can sing, too!! 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely beautiful.
WOW. With Richard Carpenter himself on the keyboard. Karen is surely smiling. It doesn't get much better than this.
It wasn’t Richard on the piano. BUT Richard did show up on Saturday! The thumbnail has the photo!
That's funny. Richard wasn't there that night nor on the keyboards. Who is starting that? Sorry you got dooped on what actually happened the night this video was recorded.
@@SayItAintSo4real no one was “dooped” Richard was not scheduled to show up. It was a complete surprise on Saturday for the closing session after dinner. As you can imagine, when he followed Chris May in to the room, it went nuts.
@jbs256 @riskybusiness1806 was absolutely WRONG that Richard accompanied anyone on the piano that night at the church. I was there. And I was correcting a FALSE statement by riskybusiness. Maybe you have issues comprehending what you read? And BTW, I've met Richard multiple times myself, been to several functions with him and his wife, and occasionally with other of the original band members. I ALWAYS correct ppl who claim something about him that is NOT true. I'm very protective of him and what ppl claim he did or didn't do. Ppl need to get their facts straight before claiming anything.
@@SayItAintSo4real I corrected him right above your statement. I also added Drew to the information page. So, huh? Maybe you have said issues?
OMG! As soon as as I heard the start of Something In Your Eyes, I got goosebumps - then Tori started to sing the song we all wish Karen could have recorded. I hope Tori is able to put her stamp on the beautiful song. Dusty did a great interpretation (It’s on Richard’s album Time) but I think Tori, with the right producer (Richard - take note 😉) could take the song to another lever.
I don’t have a religious bone in my body but Tori is heaven sent..!
You are not the first to have a spiritual reaction. You won’t be the last. Something has been a consistent request in the comments by my observation. It apparently was a request from the committee. Bless whomever started that thought process. 👏🏻 She did a short cover with explanation about q years ago based on hair and appearance. Look it up on her channel if you haven’t seen that one. Whoo boy. 😭
she would be a star ⭐ one day
Tori !!! Your Ticket to Stardom is Coming Your Way very Soon 🔜 !!! Believe in God's Love !!!
Dreams are Always Possible With God !!!
Maybe she doesn't want it.
So awesome.
How beautiful! A dream reborn! It's so wonderful to hear Tori sing these songs with the same kind of gentle specialness that Karen brought to them. Together once more.
i tear up when I hear Yesterday Once More. i am a sentimental old man
I love her voice. ❤❤❤
Wonderful!
Lovely!
Great pipes.
Wow. Thanks Joe. I love this girl so much and feel it such a privilege to be able to see her early steps into live performance. Needless to say, very jealous of all who were present.
Dan, my pleasure to add to your enjoyment. You’ve give me quite the enjoyable episodes. I still remember when your top episode was about 6K views. I said Tori is gonna blow right through that. Be ready for it. Or something to that effect. Are you on Fb or IG? She’s published a picture of her and Richard meeting on Saturday night. He was a giant surprise guest. I’m waiting on Episode 3: The Multi-instrumentalist. When she dropped Crazy On You 🤯. You have to get them from IG, the TH-cam versions are truncated and just,, when you see the difference, you’ll understand. Keep up the good work!
Joe
@@jbs256so what proportion of the audience would you say had not heard Tori before?
@@danwesley7990 in my amateur opinion. The church felt like it held 300 and was quite full for the most part. I’d say 80% had no idea. There was an audible gasp when she started Something… Tori was definitely the youngest primary singer. There was a backup for one of the singers and she was under 30, I believe. The rest ranged some maybe over 70.
@@jbs256 but how dare you withhold the delight of us seeing the back of people's heads. 😊 Is it just me or did the guy playing piano for Something... play it too fast? I felt that Tori was being made to rush it a little.
@@danwesley7990 maybe a touch but he was the primary pianist for the night and did great overall. My ears heard it better than the iPhone picked up. Especially the gasp/mumble when Something started. I got a bit of a shivers run through me at that. I knew what they were experiencing for the first time. I got what I told you. This video is at 3K in a day. Hold on! My first seat was the front row inner aisle. Then I was told that’s reserved! I scrambled and got the 3rd row. One shot and that’s what I got. I’m so happy it was good enough to share ❤️
Jim told me they are close to 🧐 the next Carpenters cover being ready. I believe Tori has to lay down the harmony tracks. Lead is done. Apparently Jim is happy with what he has so far. I’m excited.
So I can assume RICHARD CARPENTER officially knows her. My work is done here. Lol
He’s known of her since December. Yesterday they shook hands (assuming, didn’t witness that). Tori was hustled to the “backstage” area ahead of RC.
@jbs256 Good maybe Tori can do a RICHARD & TORI SHOW!
@@MrBojankies wouldn’t that be something! You know my fingers are crossed. 🤞 He does have a tour in the U.K. In the Fall. One can hope! Including taping one for distribution.
I just realized! You said your work is done! Nope it has only just begun! More folks are now requesting Tori from reactors. Since November, it’s been me. In February I met my friend Ron and he’s been requesting. Now I see random new folk. My criteria when I started was the reactor should know about Carpenters. I think now, with more original songs, anything goes. But for a Carpenters cover it’a good to know how to compare.
Also did I say how nice and kind she is in real life. I think I just did, then.
Joe
I think Tori, with some more live performances in front of an audience, will become even more confident singing consistently as good live as when she is recording at home. Richard Carpenter's "Something in Your Eyes" was performed flawlessly though. Yesterday Once More's low notes are more challenging up on stage. It's easier to sing those lower notes after waking up in the morning or when allergies are suppressed. I find taking a tiny piece 1/8 of a single nicotine lozenge really relaxes my vocal chords and suppresses my post nasal drip and eliminates my throat clearing, your mileage may vary.
Thanks Joe for getting this out to those who couldn't make it to Downey Methodist. I cannot help but think in due time that this 2nd live performance to an audience will be a historical marker in Tori's future success. I'm sure some there were stunned at her talent. Was Richard Carpenter there?
PS, thanks for capturing video in 4K.
It would be great if Richard Carpenter assisted her like he did with Karen to sing new songs. At least give her resources to assist her like he did with Karen. She is the best I have heard at singing like Karen, better than Sally Olson. She would have a very promising future if she met the right people.
It was not announced nor expected but Richard DID SHOW UP on Saturday, the final night after our dinner. He was interviewed by Chris May. As you may imagine the room went NUTS! He did meet Tori backstage as it were. It was in the hotel ballroom. He was there over 2 hours! He signed stuff he was wonderful.
And you’re welcome, I default my iPhone 14 ProMax to 4K HDR and hope it gets something good. The event at the church was recorded but that camera (a high end prosumer Panasonic 4K) was in the rear balcony. More unobstructed than my seat and people in front of me. I wanted to shoot horizontal but I’d have two heads in the shot. I was able to mostly avoid them. I couldn’t even show the pianist without showing a big head in the shot. Oh well, I’m happy with the result for what I had to work with.
@@MikeJones-xe7ovsee my other reply adjoining. Sally was there too with Ned. I enjoyed their show more than I thought I would. Neither Tori nor Sally are trying to “be” Karen. Though Sally is acting as Karen so hair and makeup. Both hung around for the entire 4 days. Very nice people. All the performers on Acoustic Night were really good each in their own way. None were trying to be Karen, just sing those songs with the most respect. Lisa from Australia is totally nuts in the best way possible! I love her, she is awesome. What my iPhone didn’t pick up but I heard was when Tori started to sing, there was an audible gasp from the audience. They just learned about Tori! ❤
@jbs256 Thanks for filling us in on the extra details on Richard Carpenter. By making an appearance this was a great mark of love and respect to all Carpenters fans globally.
I had figured the portrait orientation of the video was due to heads in front which also makes auto focusing challenging. Let's hope the main camera by Chris May was in landscape mode and in 4K. Thanks for all you do to get the word about the great Tori Holub out to all those reaction videos.
@@briank10101 yes, I was working around the heads. At least it was below Tori. It filled up really good. The videographer was on the front of the balcony. He was shooting in 4K with a high level prosumer Panasonic. Chip, is his name. He shot everything that was in a stable location. So he’s got a LOT of editing ahead of him. I just zapped it on and let it go. It was good enough. The piano was hot or her mike was low but in the theatre it sounded OK. 🤷🏻♂️
I always knew this could happen, sending love
Amazing singing 👏👏👏🔥😊
Joe, thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I am so happy for you, that you got to attend this celebration. Tori seems like a smart and sweet young lady. No doubt, she has a wonderful career ahead of her.
You are very welcome, Andy! And I couldn’t agree with you more! Thank you for the kind words!
Joe! I watched this, but only just today found out that Tori made a studio version. It was nice to see her at the church, but I know what she sounds like, and I thought it nice, but not a great recording. The studio version I heard today made me cry. Hope you're doing well. :)
Hey Chris! It’s been in my pinned comment and I’ve been requesting it. Tee Spicer just released hers and I was in the live stream for it. Please go watch her reaction. I won’t spoil it. Basically Tori wasn’t happy with the sound of the official release and went into her Studio and to quote a friend “knocked it out of the park.” She did promote it on her Facebook, also. As did I. I’m screaming as loud as I can. LOL This song has been in my heart since day one and now it’s as close as we will get. I know about H and C and honestly, I don’t think they could have done this. Maybe 🤷🏻♂️ You haven’t been diligently searching Tori’s name or you’d have seen it! Needs fine tuning. 😉 Oh and her church performance, even though not great sound, is crazy accurate, vocally. But now she’s added the Carpenters “sound” it always needed. We’re still waiting for the next big drop. BTW she’s going to interviewed by some guy I’ve never heard of in early June. That’s on her Facebook. We’ve gotten some nice reactions recently and the Troll has been quiet. More are in the queue from Ron and me. Then there are the ones that come out of left field like “the Nitpicker” He picked nits but bottom line he melted.
Be well and stay tuned!
Joe
@@jbs256 What's H and C? The Troll?
@@jbs256 I watched Tee Spicer last night. That's how I found out about the new version. She had to stop it while she teared up. I was crying with her. :)
@@christopheryochum3602 Harriet and Chloe. The other major “Karen” voices. Look in a Tori search and see the guy screaming autotune in his thumbnails. He seems to have given up. If you go back in that search a few weeks you’ll see Bob (70’s) who did all 3 Karen voices. In the comments you’ll see who he really preferred. All were good, one is Tori. 🤷🏻♂️
@@christopheryochum3602 I’m in her Patreon. She barely made it through. Then had to wait 15 min to regroup. This hit her hard. She’s gotten emotional before, blame me, but wow, we were all “hugging” her in the live stream. It was in her Friday Twitch stream which is free.
Edit:
Go watch this video and pay attention to the horn section at the end!

Hi Joe! Thanks so much for posting this. I've been waiting to see this for a while. I was hoping there might be some kind of video of Tori meeting Richard because I've really been wanting her to meet him. However, the snapshot is great. I'm so happy she got to meet him. Cheers, Joe!
As always, thanks Chris! What an adventure that was. Tori was on cloud 9 that Saturday night! My prediction was Dorothy was going to visit the Wizard. Turned out the Wizard came to visit Dorothy. I overheard TH say, if she knew RC was coming that night she’d have been a nervous wreck all day.
Had this been twenty years ago or so, Richard could have taken Tori on tour - with respect - as a tribute to Karen.
Good
I left a note to Richard about her, with her video on his Instagram and said I know you are busy but I hope you listen to her, she’s incredible! That was a month or so ago! I hope he saw it this is why she is singing with him.
She’s not singing with him, hopefully, yet. Maybe soon. He has known about her for months though and last week was the first in person meeting, which was a surprise to most of us. Last year she made Georgia On My Mind, look who produced it. Is all I’ll say. You did see the thumbnail, right?
Great rendition and OH how I’d love to have heard Karen sing it. Dusty did a beautiful version under Richard’s direction, but it was, of course, meant for Karen to debut to the ever hungry fans who miss her as much today as yesterday.
Tori did a wonderful homage to Karen singing Something. Have you seen her short video on the song she did about 2 years ago? Even more goosebumps. It’s in her channel, here.
What an angelic voice. My mind must have been playing tricks on me because there were certain parts of those two songs where Tori's voice sounded just like Karen's to me. Tori, I wish you much success as you carve out your own musical path and future. RIP Karen.
She’s very close in timbre. Check out her channel, her name, she has a wide variety of covers and some originals. Many are short videos but some are full length. They are all glorious.
@@jbs256 Hi Joseph and thanks for sharing that information. I will for sure do that.
@@user-mj1lh1iy4x you are most welcome. Especially she and Jim’s; We’ve Only Just Begun and her “Studio” version of Something In Your Eyes.
Thanks so much, Joseph! I will do that and already subscribed to Tori's channel.
❤
Tori is the re-incarnated Karen Carpenter. Absolutely wonderful.
Could you please put the entire concert on TH-cam?
I just recorded Tori. There was a videographer who shot it all. He also shot the interviews with Richard, Gayle and Earle. And much more. I have no idea how it’s all being handled but it will be a massive editing nightmare. I assume it will be posted as Richard showing up is news. So it’s a wait and see thing. Essentially I’m just an attendee with an iPhone. There were other people recording other singers. So search TH-cam for Carpenters 55th Anniversary Acoustic, that may yield some more videos.
Joe
I got it .
I hope you are current and are going to react to the brand new on, she dropped yesterday. It’s perfect. The one in the church is historic but the sound suffers. The new one she re-recorded is amazing. Thanks, Carole!
@@jbs256 it just went up
I saw the video and got it up today
@@Carolereacts I tried to comment but TH-cam had other ideas. I’ll try again later. The only mistake was I didn’t shoot the one Tori posted. I shot the live video here in my post.
@@jbs256 I posted the studio version
💙💛
É maravilhoso tori.voce cantar a Karen 💕 sua voz lembra muito a voz de Karen
❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
Any thoughts to a musical play on the life of the CARPENTERS?
I think it was more about Karen then Tori. Awsome performance!

Listen to the same song by Claire dela Fuente and judge for yourself.....Even Richard Carpenter thought that this would have been last song for Karen was offered to Claire first rather than Dusty Sprinfield......proud Pinoy.
Listen Claire and sorry but she does NOT sound anything like Karen Carpenter. She is has a nice voice. Tori has the closest voice to Karen. Karen will always be the Gold Standard and I am sure Tori will want to have a career of her own, known for her own style … 👍
Looks like Richard Carpenter was there & met Tori?! If true.... that's great!
Yes, Tori sang on Thursday night. Richard surprised most of us (some knew) and showed up on Saturday night. Tori was whisked away, with other dignitaries to meet in a quiet room next door with RC.
@@jbs256 It's a great honor (I think) for both Richard & Tori to meet face to face! I believe that Karen & Tori would become the best of friends if Karen were still with us. Lovely Karen still lives on in the hearts of her adoring & loving fans! May Karen RIP with God! Richard is a musical genius... God bless him!
@@websurfin9575 the interview with RC from the last night just dropped! 90 minutes of joy!
Please see my pinned comment for this updated link and all new links as they drop. As of 6/7/2024 I think all the links are good and current. I doubt more will drop but if they do I will add them to the pinned comment.
@@jbs256 Thanks!
Looks like Richard’s video is private unfortunately.
Did Richard played the piano?
No, this was Thursday, Richard showed up Saturday. Drew played the piano.
Is Richard playing the piano ?
If he is, why no shots of him in this video ?
No, Drew is the pianist. Richard showed up on Saturday as a complete surprise.
I ❤The Carpenters when I was a kid. Too bad Karen died to young.
If only Richard was there to see this.
He’s seen Tori plenty, I’m sure. Now we get to see if he wants to go further. I’m hoping, that’s for sure. 🤞
@@jbs256 yes, even just for one song, it would mean the whole world not only to Tori but to so many of us.
@@bpabustan look who made her Georgia song… 😉
@@jbs256 my apologies, but I don't get it. Can you explain further?
@@bpabustan in December she released Georgia On My Mind. The producer was Chris May. He cowrote… with… I like puzzles and you have it all now to solve it…
カレンカーペンターにかわる人は居ない😮
For some reason, to me Tori sounded a bit nervous, there's a slight quickness in her breathing? Perhaps some hayfever or a light cold? I still very much enjoyed the performance.
Only her second time before a sizable crowd, live. 2 weeks previous and on her channel, she performed at an Open Mike show, near home. This was at the Carpenters 55th at the church where Karen was mourned. No pressure, right? She did GREAT! ❤️
@@jbs256 That she did indeed. Thank you for recording and uploading.
@@bosoerjadi2838 you are very welcome! It was try and get a good seat (front two were for performers and family) and pray (in a church?) that my iPhone 14 ProMax was up to the task. I learned why the piano at Crooners sounded too loud! Also they get heavy after awhile! Notice the drop in Yesterday. I balanced my elbow on the pew. I shot in 4K HDR so if you watch on a 4K TV you get the full effect. I shot vertical because I had to shoot between the two gents in front of me. I hate vertical, film school grad. 🤷🏻♂️
Terrific piano playing.
How come no one praises the poor piano player?
(Playing an instrument is a greater skill than singing.)
I credited Drew in the “more…” description. He was awesome and played the majority of the night. There were a couple of exceptions. One exception is linked in my pinned comment.
Joe
She sang that song just like Karen did, as far as the lyrics. Pretty voice and a singing talent but no
one has her singing talent. I enjoyed it though 🙏🏻✝️❤️
Depends which song. Karen never sang Something In You Eyes. She died before she could. Obviously, Richard approves or he wouldn’t meet with her. So 🤷🏻♂️
@@jbs256 Amen, Richard was very gifted himself in different ways. His arrangements were incredible, he had a
great feel in framing them around his
sister’s magic. 🙏🏻✝️❤️
I hope you are monetizing this Joe
I wish I could it’d help pay for more reactions! I now have the time but under 200 subs. The first one for this should drop today from Tré, Fish Out Of Water. He loves Tori so it was not a surprise, I saw a preview.
Der Man sollte nicht mitsingen, das wunderschöne Lied wird dadurch kaputt gemacht, die Stimme der Frau ist so gut, dass die keine in der Welt nachmachen kann.
Tori has a beautiful voice as well, but not similar voice to Karen Carpenters and they both have unique voices.
Hmmmm, similar? Yeah. Exact, no one can be. Even Wings of Pegasus noted how similar they were in a number of circumstances. When you can close your eyes and wonder, that’s similar. But yet, it’s still Tori. Just as it was just Karen all those years ago. I lived it, too?
I can still recognize Karen voice on first note even if my eyes is close.. Maybe not only the voice but the rhythm of karen diction of word can be distinguish the difference between the two? Tori has beautiful voice by herself too.
Perhaps Tori should sing Carpenter songs without instruments background just her vocal voice. Thank you Tori for your lovely voice...
@@albertleal5950 she has numerous A Capella renditions on her channels. Sometimes is chilling! IG often has longer versions.
