Why wasn't Karen Carpenter as highly regarded as some of the greatest vocalists in history such as Aretha Franklyn, Elle Fitzgerald,..when she clearly surpassed all of them with flying colors?
youre a very boring person, arent you
lol zoomer OP everyone you just named get utterly mogged by https://youtu.be/ULw1RHHPv5g
>>130264695Critics hated the Carpenters back then, absolutely hated them. It also didn't necessarily help their image that they visited the Nixon White House.
>>130264695Wait, you mean the drummer for the Carpenters?
She can’t even sing like Big Maybelle let alone Ella
Boomer Eugenia Cooney
Probably because she was so massively obese, she was absolutely disgusting to look at, even if you did manage to get a glimpse of her when she wasn't shoving food in her disgusting fat food hole.
>>130264695Where did this cult of personality around Karen Carpenter begin? Why do people obsess about her so much now?
'Cause The Carpenters made music for lame-ass niggas, back in the early 70s, when every other band on planet earth was tripping balls on LSD and shoe glue, making complex and intricate concept albums about their own druggie delusions and whatnot, The Carpenters were hellbent on writing sappy radio-friendly love songs for old people, so logically, all the cool kids who sniffed coke out of waffle-house toilet seats never paid ANY attention to their songs, let alone to the objective quality of Karen's vocal performance in them... Until she died of obesity in '83, of course
>>130265549It's literally one obsessed schizo poster making multiple threads a day, no one else cares about this fat dead bitch.
Dead people suck, they're losers and it's ok to hate them. Especially when they died in what should have been their prime.
>>130266587>no one else cares about this fat dead bitch.I do. She'd like me more than OP, too.
>>130266872It's not a competition at this point anon. I could imagine her saying she loves us both equally because she has a big heart:3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR36gV6vW4
>>130264695I GUESS SHE WASN'T HUNGRY ENOUGH
>>130265922>>130258747it happened back then too. tptb really really wanted bland mush for 45 year old housewives to be most of what got played.
>>130266587There's at least three separate schizos obsessing over Karen Carpenter, lurking and posting in this board sporadically (one of them only posts pictures of her with her feet out or something), terrifying stuff really
>>130267797>one of them only posts pictures of her with her feet out or somethingLove that guy, I wish I had more pictures for him
>>130264695Because she sucked dick
The Singles: 1969-1973 [A&M, 1973]The combination of Karen's dispassionate dulcet contralo and Richard's meticulous studio technique is about as musical as the clattering of silverware in a cafeteria, but it's also just as impervious to criticism. I will say that I very much enjoy "Rainy Days and Mondays" and very much detest "Music" and "We've Only Just Begun" but those aren't so much aesthetic judgements as they are points on a graph. C
>>130269855Did she suck 4" vietnamese dong thoughbeit?
>>130270053This review probably caused her to eat a whole cake by herself.
>>130270053Pretty much. There's a lot of music out there, maybe most of it, that is just a very well-defined formula executed with varying degrees of technical competence. It's either to your taste or it isn't, not much else to say about it
>>130270053he means the music is so mechanical and absent of any human element that there's nothing to really critique about it
>>130267797
>>130266587>>130265549i've posted about her before and it's because she is very good looking and she plays drums and sings at the same time. it's impressive and attractive.
>>130270809Hahahah, I love this feller
phwoarsad she die anorexiaso talented.listen to her performance of dancing in streetbrilliant drum solovery hars to drum rhat song and sing convincingly too. carrying the melody but also carrying the rest of the band
>>130265922Then Fleetwood Mac proceeded to ripoff their style and become popular. Yet another reason why they suck.
>>130269855She was better than John Bonham and Ginger Baker
>>130273927genuinely wasthose two were overrated as fuckreal goat was keith moonkaren also a greatnot as good as keith but better than boham and baker
