Karen Carpenter
“A deep smooth voice that still gives me chills when I hear her sing classics like "Superstar". What a tragic loss.”
“Karen had the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, or will ever hear. I loved her. I miss hearing her.”
“A pure and soulful voice, sorely missed!”
“ethereal.”
“It's been said before but there is a subtle almost sad or longing in her voice. She had the real thing; the thing that cannot be faked. All of the great ones had it. I think she had a wonderful voice technically but it was her ability, an effortless unconcious ability, to connect it with her soul that makes you feel what she sings...... BEAUTIFUL.... I miss you Karen.....”
“The greatest. Period.”
“Karen is my all time favourite female. Have got all her songs”
“Saw the Carpenters special on public television. Other female singers were very intimidated by Karen's perfect voice, they dreaded singing a duo with her. That says it all!”
“I think she should be top 5, but it is hard to get a lot of support from a 1970s singer.”
“Hands-down, Karen Carpenter was the finest female vocalist in the past 50 years. She didn't shriek like Whitney or Celine -- she simply and effortless had the most perfect voice ever recorded.”
“Clearly Karen had the greatest voice of all time-no question about it!”
“Karen Carpenter's diction was the best of any female singer in history,”
“There is something so touching, soothing and comforting about Karen's voice...something I have yet to hear another singer come close to. When I hear the yearning in her voice, the perfect intonation and the "presence" of her voice, it sends chills down my spine just about each and every time. Singers that "shriek" or "flutter" like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey or Celine Dion do not ellict such feelings, even though, granted, they do have good control over their respective voices. For overall sound, in my humble opinion, Karen was (and is) in a league of her own.”
“Her ability to sustain a note at a low decibel level with authority and even subtleness is unsurpassed. A perfect voice, a shame she is not sitting at the top spot in this poll.”
“LeadSister~
forever...
'A star in earth, a star on heaven'”
“Best female singer ever”
“The most beautiful and perfect voice to ever utter a lyric. No trilling, no yelling, no shrieking, just pure perfection of note and timbre.”
“Karen Carpenter! always in my heart! forever!
Brasil! Votem na Karen!!!”
“"A Star on earth
a star in heaven"
Karen is the best singer
off all the times.”
“Karen, simplesmente the best!”
“Only great singers can be recognized from the first note that they sing. Bing had it, so did Sinatra,Ella and yes Karen Carpenter. Whenever I hear that perfectly flowing voice I think of an american flag gently waving in the wind.”
“wonderful voice....
forever in our hearts...”
“Sorry, but Karen Carpenter should be in the top 5. Very few can match her tone, diction and emotion. None of today's singers (who tend to "over-sing" songs) can match her.”
“RIP - Karen's voice touches the hearts of many people still.”
“she's not even top 200...what a joke!”
“this should be at no. 1
voice of an angel..songs are effotlessly done..beautiful character...no 1 compares to her...”
“she has this really sweet smooth voice that can make you just wanna sing even if you dont like singin you hear her voice then your singin along a real natural talant karen you are really missed”
“karen carpenter had a beautiful voices. I think karen was so pretty.
I really sad that I didn't get time to me karen herself. I am a big fan of the carpenter's
please could you say to Richard how sorry I am of the loss of his sister.”
“She is great”
“Karen Carpenter's voice is rich, full-bodied, silky smooth and pure.
She sings in true and pure tones.
Karen Carpenter is a singer's singer.
Others may have a wider range and can sing higher notes... but being able to sing those super high notes does not automatically make you a great singer. I think a great singer should possess clarity of tone and natural ability. Many of those who hit the high notes only do so because of studio production, it's not natural or real.
Karen Carpenter's voice was real. she sounded exactly the same when she sang live in concert... and unlike others her live concerts were not lip-synched.”
