I'm not ashamed to admit that I have an serious Karen Carpenter obsession. Her musicality, beauty, persona, voice, etc. I study their video footage like JFK conspiracy theorists study the "Zapruder film".
Most of us are quite familiar with the Karen eye-roll. But what about the Karen grimace? I could be wrong, but I don't think this has ever been brought up in this forum.
Is there an explanation why she does it? Enquiring minds want to know!
Two examples (and I'm sure there are more out there);
1972 Budokan during Close To You (thank you Billy Rees) at 26:17 and 27:38. (I also love her facial expressions doing that whole flirty thing with Doug Strawn at 27:12)
By the way, did Karen's hair ever look more beautiful/spectacular than during this concert? I don't think so.
1974 Budokan during Jambalaya at at 0:28 and 1:39
Please feel free to add more Karen "grimaces" as you find them...
