how good were the Carpenters ?

they were better than plane .

some great unforgettable tracks

chiselled out a living

in the day it was deemed to be rather unfashionable, but most of us bought their albums.

she had a voice like pure silk.

formed a splinter group.

varnished without a trace

Show some bloody respect you planks !

nailed on better than todays muck

lol Joe, class.

i love the carpenters , fantastic singers , just goes to show what fame does to people

hopefully tomorrows show on itv will do them justice.

I'd chisel over Karen Carpenter's chebs if she were here right now.

wood you :(

Although she was a bit too lathe for my tastes.

If Karen Carpenter had eaten Mamma Cass' ham sandwich they might have both still been alive today. :(
I'll get me coat.

they wrote beautiful ballads and reached happy crescendos of harmony. a beautiful person murdered by all of us in a small way.

They were farkin dire.

NO WE DIDN'T

Fashionable to like them now.. Never had and never will own any of their albums.

Carp enters.

Best female vocalist ever

were they on the Box ?

Jesus was King

Aretha Franklin
Dionne Warwick
Gladys Knight
Etc
Etc
Etc

Not even the best white female vocallist, Dusty different gravy (no food related punnery intended).

from the ad for the show looks like the celebs are going to kill them again.

That's pushing it a bit! But almost certainly the best well known popular music vocalist

Carpenters were very boring, actually

I'd love to have heard her sing Bond Themes

gorgeous girl at the start of her career

A brilliant group. Hers is possibly the most tragic and unnecessary music biz death of them all.

very poor

i get a shiver down my spine listening to her voice.
far better voice than your mariah cary's and sh@T

They deserve better than these bunch of pub singers on ITV1 butchering their songs!

poor was a remark about the saturdays version of mr postman thats just been on btw.

Awful effort here

yeah id agree with that.
bunch of **in mugs

richards pretty thin aswell

Oh dear.

ffs slaughter a classic why dont you.

I'm waiting for the guitar solo at the end

mmm, didn't even attempt it.

me fav one coming up, always think elvis should have covered this.

Looking forward to Chrissie Hynde, lovely woman.

Looks well does Chrissy.

Knocking on, must be late 50's.

Godawful lyrics, innit, though?


Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft

And please come in peace, we beseech you
Only a landing will teach them
Our earth may never survive
So do come, we beg you
Please interstellar policeman
Oh won't you give us a sign
Give us a sign that we've reached you

With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate
Together that's the way
To send the message
We declare world contact day

yes,she will be well into her fifties.

58

Thought so, she's very kind to animals, that's why I respect her, plus fancy her a bit. :-)

I think this programme is well demonstrating how good a singer SHE was.

spot on mr spark

Celebrating the Crapenters.

Murdering the Carpenters more like.

You want to know whether Karen Carpenter was a good singer?

Well, watch this.

Arguably, the two greatest female vocalists in a duet. It will send shivvers down your spine.

Lots of footage of her singing on this programme BC

thought it must be Ella, seen that clip, will have another listen
