Click the red mark in the middle next to "TOP"
for her streaming section
and check out how she sings it.

She was the headliner for the Carpenters tribute concert in Japan last March.

She made a guest appearance singing I Need To Be In Love
on a Japanese TV show where Richard also played back in 1996 or so.

What do you guys think of her singing?

I thought...not bad! She really moved me with her interpretation. She has a lovely voice! Reminiscent of Karen. I wouldn't mind hearing more songs she does...

My thoughts,

Thanks for your post, cam89.
She's a professional singer and a big fan of C's, too.
She impersonates Karen sometimes because lots of people here feel she has similar vocal qualities to Karen's and I think so many people still want to see Karen singing alive.
It's an impossible dream, but this is something close and it won't hurt you.

As so many viewers see her, they request that she do this and that.
But this attitude seems to be giving a little pressure on her and she feels that she wants everyone to understand that she's not Karen.

Being compared to Karen seems great but asking her to be Karen sounds too much.
