Toni Lee does a great job and helps us remember these great songs. I think she would agree, however, that there was only one Karen Carpenter.
yep, and thank you xx
My first time finding this video. I loved Karen Carpenter and Toni Lee does a great job. Karen Carpenter's voice was out of this world! I enjoyed this.💓
Thank you for your endearing tribute to the incomparable Karen Carpenter. Losing her so young was a tragic loss felt by so many. I wish she could see all the love and admiration we have for her, and what her iconic voice continues giving to the world!
@@tonileesings-123 Please accept my apologies. I don't know WHERE my head was at. You are lovely and performed a tribute to Karen beautifully. I am sorry I was disparaging. (Not an excuse at all, but I am disabled and in a lot of pain. Let this be a good lesson to me, "Never post any comments online until I've given it a few days to make sure I wasn't completely out of my mind at the time!! I am truly sorry.
Glad you think so very highly of Karen Carpenter as all of her fans do.She was so incredible.
The show sounds even better live! I saw Toni last night at St. Albans, and it was a great performance by her and her wonderful backing band.
+kitemanmusic Bless you thank you so much, glad you liked the show :) x
Keeping The Carpenters legacy alive. How incredible. Toni Lee is extraordinary.🌹
Thank You so much x
A most delightful and pleasing rendition of the great Karen Carpenter. The brother-sister duo that captured America's and the world's heart during the 1970's...and then we lost Karen all to soon. But thanks to Ms. Lee we have the pleasure of hearing those beautiful songs preformed live again. If she is ever in my "neck of the woods" I'm putting my money down to hear her!
Thank you x
*256. LET me applaud vehemently the UNTOUCHABLE Greatness of the wonderful Art. My victorious hugs deserve to SHINE forever.*
Thank you so much , xx
She does a really great tribute...without the perfect pitch and the deep resonance of Karen's one of a kind sound. It's a beautiful way to remember the songs though. Karen Carpenter is immortal.
Thank you so much xx
karen one in a million...period
Very beautiful woman and real good singer ... many compliments to Mrs Toni Lee. It is widely known all over the world that Karen's voice is irreplaceable and unapproachable because her voice has been simpy "not human", but this girl made a really good work with a nice rendition. Kisses.
Thank You so much. 🙏❤️
A pleasant surprise! Thank you so much for bringing us a little bit of our beloved Karen back! I'm sure that up there she must be very happy with her performance! I hope that one day she can come to Brazil to make us happy with her Show! A big hug and may God bless you!
Thank You so much x

Hello 🌹😊
I listen to Karen Carpenter all my life and I can hear the difference she's similar to her but she's not Karen Carpenter Karen Carpenter has a very distinctive unique voice and I can hear it and I know it she is similar to Karen but not Karen but she has a beautiful voice
Thank you
Toni Lee is Toni Lee and Karen Carpenter is Karen Carpenter
So true 😊
When will she be in New York city
I saw toni lee tonight she is the best karen carpenter I have ever seen the voice is amazing and looks fabulous too.
Thank you so much :)
And I cannot believe that Richard carpenter doesn't hear the difference but this woman is good
I am sure Richard will definately notice the difference between my voice & Karens. 🤷♀️.
Sim, a que parece estar mais perto da voz de Karen, mas não é a mesma voz tipo ( Ctrl C + Ctrl V ) Mas pelo menos ela não deixa morrer a linda história de karen Carpenter ( No esquecimento ) !!
Jamás se comparará a la verdadera karen
카렌...😢
Hello hw are you
She does a great job keeping the music alive, but she's not quite Karen Carpenter.
seattwa really? Thanks.
No she's not! She's Toni Lee. :P
Kerwin Ronquillo ha ha exactly. Im not KC. Lol. X
@@tonileesings-123 No offense intended, you do a fantastic job and sing the songs beautifully. Just like the best Elvis impersonators, or the Fab Four, or what have you, the idea is to get as close to the original as possible so that those who were never able to experience the real deal can at least get a sense of what it was like. And you are successful at doing that.
Totally agree....
Canta ella o esta doblada por karen?
Thank you
es igualita a karen
thanks you xx
Close . But stillcan tell it's not Karen.
of course, or I may as well be KC, I know I am not her, never will be either, she was one in a million
How in a way Toni resembles Frida from Abba, must be the wig.
lol ;) love ABBA too, I also run my own Abba show, ABBA Lush
I don’t want to sound rude but is that her real voice or is she lip syncing Karen’s voice ?
its me, its real x

Hello 🌹😊
You can hear the breathing, it's live.
She is not bad but i love the real karen carpenter

@@tonileesings-123 welcome young Lady I'm 65 and i loved her and Richard along time
Please keep singing and keep her legacy going this Thursday is 39 years ago rip

+babsfocker thank you who is keiko?? :) xx

aww I see, am flattered, thank you so much xx
Sorry but there is only one Karen Carpenter !!
@@tonileesings-123Her voice will never be forgotton . Richard Carpenter has kept there mucic alive !!
@@tonileesings-123 now i live in michigan and the oldie but goddie radio stations play all the carpenter songs and at christmas time all the radio stations play there christmas music im telling you she will never be forgotten !!
@@janjones690 ahh thats good to hear!!!! I was over in LA last April, in Thousand Oaks, Downey etc... met 100's Carpenters fans from all over the world, was amazing. Also met people that worked with them and some of the musicians that are on their recordings, and the producer Al Schmidt, who produced RC's last album release. So many there were saying tho that they do no hear them enough on radio, etc.... and so appreciate Tributes helping to keep their legacy alive, for more generations too. I performed my show to them of my recent PBS TV filming, it was such an honour. Miss her so much, she had the best voice ever, and love their music, its timeless , Best wishes to Michigan xx
@@tonileesings-123 Thank you for doing what you do for Karen i can tell you are a true fan !! Im sure shes smileing up above knowing that her fans still love her !! Have a nice day !!
@@janjones690 take care xx
I’m sorry. I just think this is weird. Sure, have a tribute, but just be yourselves and sing the songs. I absolutely love the Carpenters… and there are many classy ways we can celebrate them without “being” them. Oiy
Its a tribute show thing. I am myself to be honest. Its just costumes.
I think this is kinda creepy. Also she lacks the velvety richness that karens voice had. Imo she is a watered down version.
Crystal McCarroll Beautiful. Thanks very much 😘
czcams.com/video/ncdz-Fwlo7M/video.html recent show
Hell I'd like to see you lol...this lady is the best anyone could be of karen
I hope she comes to the United States and tour the country. She will definitely sell out. Don’t be jealous Crystal. She’s amazing!
I worked with the Carpenters in 1978 and to be fair I don't think Toni Lee is trying to be Karen. She's hoping to bring today's audience a feeling of the old days and to honor the Karen Carpenter legend. I think it is much more difficult to "impersonate" Karen than Elvis. I wouldn't use the term "watered down". She's trying to open a window into the past and give some comfort to those who still to this day feel the loss of such an amazing talent. And it is also not fair to criticize someone for doing covers of these songs. Many of the Carpenter's hits were themselves covers. I think she does a nice job of trying to convey the essence of the experience of hearing those songs done live and a remembrance of the unique style that made us all so enamored by Karen's voice and personality. It's a beautiful way to remember.
Nah!!!!!

I would have walked out after the 1st note out of Toni's mouth .
THATS TOTALLY VILE!!!! Thank you very much,
Hey Toni Lee, if you really want to be Karen Carpenter do it right. Let's see your Karen Carpenter drum solo, let us see you sing and play the drums! Karen Carpenter's first love was the drums and she was an amazing drummer!
Ha ha. I dont ‘want to be Karen Carpenter’. ??? Im Toni Lee. Karen was Karen. Im enjoying just singing & performing their music. Im a singer not a drummer. Sorry to dissapoint? Ive no interest in playing. Jeez at 56 be hard. Karen started on drums as a teenager? Lol
Hello 🌹😊
Not the same, she may sound like her. But the emotional part Karen had is missing. Karen was a one of a kind. It's like all those Elvis impersonators. They sound like him but they are not Elvis. This girl is not Karen,she can sing close to her but the emotional power that Karen had is missing badly here.
I feel so emotional when I sing The Carpenters, means a lot to me, maybe look up my recent works, showreel etc.. often get told the complete opposite to your comments, this video is rather old
czcams.com/video/bOQRf-VzOjY/video.html
recent showreel czcams.com/video/3hs6kEAFfrM/video.html
I think she is emotional but the problem here is her tone is not as deep or velvety as Karen's. Often singers are missing some part of the equation. She is a good singer by itself but as far as emulating Karen...if you're going to do it, it has to be spot on, which is a hard thing to do...thats why Karen is regarded so highly, her voice was extremely hard to come by. Even with constant practice, its not a sound that can be easily duplicated bc she wasmt copying someone, God gave her that tone and she just perfected it with practice.
Claire Dela Fuente the Karen Carpenter of the Philippines would sound better than her.I appreciate the passion to pay tribute to my idol KC though.
Thank you so much. Although many Asian singer love & sing these songs beautufully its very hard not notice the Asian accents that stand out. Karen didnt have an Asian accent. It kinda sways it for me. But to be fair tones are there. Beautiful voice but she cant hide her Asian accent.
Yes you are right. There really is Asian accent issue. Let's just appreciate that we all love Carpenters and their music and you are doing a great job in bringing them back to life. I am sure I would enjoy your show live. No offense meant.😀😀
This is soooo creepy shes wearing her clothes too far and she doesn't even sound like her but nice try this is too weird at least get someone that sounds at least close to Karen carpenter 🙄
She's ok.Not near as good as Karen.
Derr well of course I wont be. Im a tribute artiste. Only one KC & shes the Best
