I totally agree! I was indecisive between Carol, Perry Como and Ella Fitzgerald. Ended up going with Carol Burnett because they all seemed like they were having so much fun, it looked so natural and Karen looked so happy!It would probably be a tie for me between Carol Burnett and Perry Como, leaning toward Ms. Burnett. Carol's vocals were quite seamlessly integrated into the Carpenters sound. Perry had that smooth style like Karen, but somehow, the blending wasn't quite perfect.
Youch...I don’t think I have watched these TV specials since I was in my teens. It’s amazing how I remember the audio but watching the video really makes me cringe. Especially watching Richard dance. They all look so uncomfortable at the end of the dancing segment.I do like the Como and Fitzgerald medleys, but they don't seem to sing together all that often. (But they are my favorites!) As far as working together and harmonizing, I actually like The Old Fashioned Way with John Davidson the best.
How interesting that a dozen posts in, and no-one has mentioned Peter Cetera.
Maybe I didn't say it well. The Ella and Como duets are amazing! But when I think of both artists singing at the same time in a song, it doesn't happen all that often with Ella or Perry.Youch...I don’t think I have watched these TV specials since I was in my teens.

I’ve always liked how his voice was buried in the mix. It’s amazing how fast the Carpenter catalog is and how we are all drawn to such different songs.Personally I find the Cetera track lacking. First off, he is a bit buried in the mix. Second, he and Karen do not blend well at all. And third, the recording just lays there.
