she's just turned 15 when she did this song 4 years ago. She also writes her own music. If interested... "Pray For The World" I think she was 16 when she wrote that. Some have described it a breathtaking.

Yoyoka plays with authority. Miles Davis said that he could tell if a musician was any good just by the way he carries his instrument. You're right, Maria, that we could see Yoyoka walking down the street and have no clue that she's a musician of the top rank, but the moment she sits behind a kit, it's clear who's in charge.

Loved the music, hated the video. But that's because I really get creeped out by gory stuff.

She (wink). And that is some display of talent. I had to push my mouth back shut. That bar thing is called a whammy bar, by the way, and it's used by quite a few rock/metal guitarists. If you watch Nightwish, you'll often see their guitarist, Emppu, using one. Now, about this sucking as a human being. You may suck as a musician, Maria, but I can tell just by watching these reactions that you far from suck as a human being.

Maria, I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the great guitar talent of this amazing young Lady. You have witnessed the crazy amazing talent of the Indonesian Guitar Princess!!! As most people say after hearing her play, what the heck are they putting in the water over there. Seeing we have so many amazing Artists, musicians & Singers come from Indonesia. I need to say, you nailed her name, spot on!!!!! in my opinion. The thing on her guitar to change the sound is called a Wammy Bar. Ayu will usually use it mostly if the song she is covering calls for it in the original song. She doesn't try to overly use it in her performances. I have been a fan of hers for a long time. She has been killing it on the guitar at a very young age, as you will see in her Bio. As you would guess, the guitar was bigger than she was at the time. Even at that fact, she still was able to work her way up and down the frets on the neck, and give the guitar quite a work out using Her spider fingers. Here's a Bio on Ayu : Ayu Gusfanz (Born Aisyah Eka Wahyu Utami) , June 3, 2005 is a Progressive Rock, Indonesian Guitarist, Ayu Gusfanz was born in Bondowoso, a small town in East Java, Indonesia. Ayu's interest in playing guitar began at the age of six years old. She would continually ask her Father, Agus Susilo Jabrix, a very accomplished guitarist, for lessions, but he would refuse because of her physical size. At first her Father tried to teach her how to play keyboards, but Ayu did not like this and continued to ask for guitar lessions. At the age of 7 her Father finally relented. Her first guitar was a Ibanez Jem copy. Even though this guitar was quite large for her physical stature, she was able to develop extraordinary musical skills at an accelerated pace. At the age of eight she was learning and playing musical compositions by, Guitar Virtuosos Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, and John Petrucci. At 9 years old she recorded a video of herself playing the Andy Timmons Tune "Cry For You", Maria, I did sibmit the dono to you for that performance. Andy Timmons was so impressed that he posted her video on his F_ _ceb_ _ K page. Ayu continues to cover the music that she likes, as well as write and records original compositions. More Ayu to come! Thanks so much, Maria for the Amazing reaction!!! God Bless You, and your Family, and your Beautiful Kitties, Peace & Love, Thomas & The Kitties from Indiana

I know it's been awhile but hope you do or done some The did a new trailer for new one coming out 19th July the trailer called ate.

Bobby Hatfield 1965 live hear it for real...

Heads up Maria ? This is not "That Beyonce' song". This is a Toby Gad, B.C. Jean song they wrote and Beyonce' Begged to cover. Toby asked Angelina to sing it for his piano diraries series, He didnt ask Beyonce', Cuz Angelina's version is much better. FYI.

We love Dan! He improves everything he sings

What a great reaction to Tori’s cover! Thank you!

As great as her Carpenters covers are, I think the recently released version of the old Perry Como song It's Impossible is even better. Absolutely stunning.

This is a good cover but don't sound just like her to me she can't get the low pitch like karen but some parts sound like her, but she is a very good singer though, but I've always been biased for the originals anyway very few ppl can do better than the original singers

Maria! You almost cried? I cry every time I hear this, and that's already been two-dozen times at least. Tori's a big admirer of Karen and has incorporated nuances of Karen's singing into her own style. But that's not all. If you go to her site, she has myriad covers of not only the Carpenters, but many other artists. One that's really striking is her cover of an Olivia Newton-John song. Olivia had a soprano range, as opposed to Karen's contralto. Tori effects a breathier, lighter sound to her voice and pulls off a really good doppelganger of Olivia's voice. Know what else? Before she teamed with Jim to do this, she created, on her own, many of the covers at her site (which comprised overdubbed parts) on multitrack recording decks and pro-level sequencing software. But back to her voice, the thing that has me gobsmacked on her is her on-pitch singing and her seemingly endless vibrato. Most singers I've heard can't do that. She's incredible.

Sweet

According to close friends of Karen,her mother,who was a perfectionist and made it obvious that Richard was her favorite child,took Karen to a weight loss doctor when she was just 17. Karen lost weight and liked the way she looked,but then the eating disorder kicked in. When asked about her later on in interviews,Richard and his mother would “circle the wagons”,shoot down any questions/concerns about her weight loss,and claim the family had it under control. Karen was literally starving for her mother’s love. Makes my heart hurt to think of how much emotional pain she must’ve been in.

Obrigada por seu apoio ao nosso querido Gabriel 🙏 ❤

Glad you enjoyed the Phantom Regiment!!! The Colorguard can use flags, rifles and anything else that you might think of to enhance the show. They might all be on flags or rifles at any given moment. Sometimes the Hornline even does flag work during a drum solo. Each section of the corps has a few judges assigned. Brass, Drums, and Colorguard… even the marching program is judged. There are judges at the field level and up in the press box. General Effect is a big portion of the score. The judges for General Effect (in each category) are mostly up in the box. The field judges are usually looking at the precision of marching and playing of the members. Hope that helps.

UA-cam search Wings of Pegasus. There is a guy named Fil who has a reaction channel and he has this software where he feeds the song or just the vocal through it and it shows the singer's voice on a moving graph---sort of looks like the lines you see on an EKG but for the voice instead of for the heart. He ran Karen singing this song and then fed Tori singing it. It was nearly spot on...almost identical. I thought Tori sounded so close to Karen that she was lip-syncing, but she wasn't. It's really Tori. It's kind of eery.

This song actually was an official theme song for wrestling WWE(NXT).

I'm not calling you one, but one of your comments made me think Karen's vs Alex Terrible would be a great thing to watch. Awesome reaction!

Josh Turner Guitar and Alison Young each have many wonderful songs on UA-cam

I think Hoagie Carmichael is the man who wrote the original song. Stardust is one of the more obscure American Songbook songs

Can't add much more to what those who have already commented, other than that I thoroughly enjoyed your genuine and heartfelt reaction to the wonderful gift that Tori is sharing. I would only emphasize that as much as she has similar vocal qualities with Karen, their voices are actually rather distinct. Tori herself has adamantly stated that there will never be anyone else like Karen, but as you and many others have observed, Tori herself is incredibly special in her own way. And I would wholeheartedly agree.

The real Angelina also appears in her Official "If I Were a Boy" video, which was also produced by Toby Gad. The video filmed in London features Angelina sporting a hoodie and pants walking thru streets and parks. (ua-cam.com/video/_rJ-HlsTsyM/v-deo.htmlsi=bWy-KR3utratSgLS)

You mentioned not knowing who was whom except Hazuki. And several folks have filled in good details, but I don't see a full listing. So if I may, left to right: The string players - Hazuki you know. Notice that she plays an Ibanez 7 string guitar and uses all of it. Haraguchi the bassist plays a 5 string bass instead of the usual 4, same reason. Saki on the far right plays a 7 string Killer guitar. The eldest and most experienced in the business, she stayed with them and helped them get to play the prestigious Budokan venue. She has since left. In back, Tamu Murata (or in Japanese form, Murata Tamu) is an in-demand session drummer, so her support was huge. Her birth name is Ai (like "eye") but early in her career people noticed she uses her floor toms more than most, so everyone calls her "Tom-oo" spelled as Tamu. Lead vocalist Mayu has been introduced somewhat. Her previous band Lipstick had an ammo belt with lipstick like bullets in it. Or fake bullets with the tips painted red, whatever. To me her most amazing vocal ability is to do harsh screaming vocal and switch to soaring cleans with zero transition time. Not a common skill and always impressive. Their first (original) heavy metal tune showing that ability was Dissension. It also includes a delightful cheerleading style chant by all of them right in the middle of it. Funny, reinforces that they are fun ladies, and somehow works artistically. I grew up with rock and roll, heard a lot of rock and metal, and this is one of the best bands I have heard in my lifetime. In the past decade, the bands whose music has impressed me enough to buy it are almost all Japanese all-woman bands. They are just that good. Band-Maid, Nemophila, and Exist-Trace for example. Several others are awaiting further funds. From the Americas, The Warning. From the USA, Plush. And one controversial young male band, Greta Van Fleet.

An interesting voice, to me, but I'll have to hear more to come to any kind of an intelligent conclusion.

As soon as I saw this I knew you were going to be astonished. She sounds so much like Karen Carpenter. Her's is one of those voices that you can't forget, once you have heard it.

Hi Maria.. Can't believe this is your first reaction to the Ladies of Nemophila.. Oh my.. Have you got some awesomeness to check out.. Heres a few for you.. Change the world, Zen, Dissenssion, Raitei, Sorai, Monsters, Plus dozens of covers of all the greats.. Oh and be prepared for Mayu's voice.. Its a bit gritty on this track yes, but the norm will blow you away.. Best wishes from France

Please react to USED TO MINE cover by him I love your reactions

Out on all platforms now, her original, Something To Believe In, but Karens voice is still there.

Remarkable resemblance to Karen Carpenter, who I am sure is smiling in heaven. 20 year old Tori Holub also has a couple originals. Thanks to Joe, I learned about Tori when she only had 3.4k subscribers to her channel. I encourage everyone to subscribe to Tori and also to Maria's channel. It is FREE to subscribe so please support your favorite content creators.

lady in the blue shirt stop talking

Tori and Jim do a great cover of the Burt Bacharach & Hal David medley - which The Carpenters did on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1970 outdoors at The Walter Reed Hospital. Dan Wesley posted a Tori video of the "It's Impossible" (Perry Como) about 2 weeks ago. Tori's channel has many short covers of The Carpenters songs. Checkout Tori's "Merry Christmas, Darling (audio only) and Georgia On My Mind (audio only).

Fortunately in Britain we understand our comedy without explanation every two minutes.

Hi Maria, I was considering requesting this as I had discovered Tori about 4 months ago. But I'm glad Joe got to it quickly. Tori I think is a generational talent. The only way I can describe her voice is timeless. The Carpenters performances are impactful as you just witnessed, but she does cover other artists and even has an original on her UA-cam page. Her voice is outstanding and she claims that she will never replace Karen Carpenter and is not trying to. There are nuances of her voice that are different but if you weren't listening closely you may not notice. What you heard here was not an imitation but her natural voice and tone. This particular performance is the masterpiece it is because of collaboration with Jim wilkas, a genius audio engineer and producer. He coordinated all of the audio, video, instrumentation, and backup harmonies that created this work of art. As you can see, he is a master of authenticity. I really enjoyed your reaction to Tori and I agree with you. It was probably the most profound reaction from you I've ever seen and I loved it.

Karen Carpenter is my second favorite voice of all time (Lucy Thomas took top tier), but Tori is so close to Karen it's like a reincarnation has happened. I listened to everything Karen sang and my estimate is Tori overlaps Karen voicewise by about 90%.

AGONY next

Hi Maria, yes, I do my best not to give it away. At over 300k views it’s more difficult but not impossible. I was algorithm’d Tori back last October. It’s been an adventure. She is so much more than just a Karen “clone” she has a magical voice. Tori is 20 and that is synergy to Karen who was 20 for WOJB and the 2nd album. If I told you Tori can do supreme justice to Olivia songs, you’d be surprised, too. I’ll leave a link to her most recent short cover of “Sam” down below. She is also a multi-instrumentalist; guitar, piano and yes a little drums. But guitar is her main skill. She has a small library of full length videos and audios. The vast majority are the short vertical format. There’s a whole story surrounding WOJB and the amazing Jim Wilkas who put this all together. Maybe he will impart that, if not I’ll fill you in. I’ll also get you more caffeinated with a special song. In April, Tori was invited as one of 8 acts, to the Carpenters 55th Anniversary Celebration. I was there too. Tori sang two songs on that night. It was a 4 night event in Downey, CA. Night 2 was The Acoustic Concert. The first song she sang and also the ONLY non-Carpenters song of the night, it was “Something In Your Eyes.” Richard C. and Cynthia Weil wrote it for Karen but she died before even hearing it. The concert was held in the church where Karen had her funeral and Richard married Mary. A very connected and historic church. But churches have weird acoustics and there was crowd noise, coughing etc. The official recording made by Chip for the 55th was dodgy at best, but Tori sounded fantastic. She wasn’t happy and when she got home to her studio, she re-recorded it with a clean piano track from Drew Jansen the piano for that night. She basically created the Carpenters song that never was. It was originally sung by Dusty Springfield w/Richard for his Time, solo album in 1987, a beautiful rendition but, not exactly what we all wanted. I will warn you on this one, have tissues at the ready, depending on your level of Carpenters love. It seems strong, this hits hard. I’m so glad you enjoyed this, it is to me also, the best cover of ANY song I’ve ever seen and as a Carpenters cover, insanely difficult to pull off. Hat’s off the Jim and the international crew and Tori ❤.

Yep, Maria, she's dressing her age and looks her age in this one. Then, of course, she opens her mouth and sounds like a 45-year-old diva full of soul and attitude who has been wowing audiences for the last 30 years! Incomparable. Thanks so much for another fine Angelina reaction. Have a great weekend. 👼

AJ gets to play a bad girl! I bet she loves it!

What a great reaction, probably the best to date from any reactor, to this phenomenal cover by twenty year old Tori. These musicians have collaborated to this masterpiece from all over the globe and put together by the genius Jim Wilkas. Tori has a lot of shorts on UA-cam but well worth a look. If I were being picky about Tori's voice in this video, she's taken away the sharpness that Karen's voice portrayed in the 1970's original and somehow smoothed out the pitch, which I find pleasing to the ear. If you didn't know, you would be forgiven for thinking this was actually the Carpenters.

Good reaction!

My Funny Valentine This is my 185th time listening to this MASTERPIECE and each time I experience a new level of perfection by our ethereal prodigy extraordinaire, Angelina Jordan. My Funny Valentine When you listen to the A cappella portions of this performance at the very end of the song you are truly experiencing the genius of Angelina Jordan’s PERFECT PITCH. Sinatra, rest in peace Angelina Jordan, the Bare Foot Queen has taken the crown and there is nothing like her in the universe. When I first heard her perform this. I put it on pause and brought up Sinatra, Bublé, Streisand, Fitzgerald and Vaughan's version of this song to compare it to AJ version, and none of them moved me like this version. It is so hard to comprehend that Angelina from 7 to 18 is the greatest story telling being in my 76 years of experiencing great vocalist and I can't wait for the rest of the story. We are not only hearing it, but we are also feeling each word as though she were singing to each of us individually. She is the only one in this universe that is capable of making us feel the true emotion of this ballad. There is no way to explain this gift that has been given to the universe, does she even know, or understand the power she encompasses?

Beautiful reaction with a unique stunning singer.❤🧡💛

The ART of connection. The profound impact that Angelina Jordan can have on her audience is a testament to the power of art and human connection. When an artist like AJ takes the stage, they bring more than just skill; they bring an emotional depth that resonates with the audience on a personal level. This connection is often a combination of the artist's passion, the energy of the performance, and the personal experiences of the audience members. It's a unique alchemy that can make each performance feel like a transformative experience. AJ's ability to consistently affect fans so deeply is likely due to a combination of talent, hard work, and a genuine connection with the audience that transcends the ordinary. It's this rare and special bond that makes live performances so unforgettable.

Bad Valentine The collaboration between Angelina Jordan and Toby Gad on the song "Bad Valentine" marks a significant milestone in both artists' careers. Their performance at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles was not just a display of Jordan's mesmerizing vocal prowess, but also a testament to AJ's, and Gad's exceptional songwriting skills. The audience at the intimate venue witnessed a captivating blend of Jordan's soulful tones and Gad's melodic craftsmanship. This partnership has undoubtedly set a new bar for musical innovation and emotional expression in the industry. The song's live rendition, which can be found online, and edited by James Thiel, showcases the young artist's versatility as a song writer and Gad's ability to create a soundscape that perfectly complements Jordan's unique voice.
