seven days without food makes one weak

Have to agree with you. Karen started singing Superstar in concert in 1971. There touring schedule was 100 to 200 concerts a year up to 1976. She had sung it at least 1000 times by than.

I noticed that too....she was struggling.

Steven MacPhail

It's a sad song. She's not going to be smiling and giggling through it. Of course she looks sad here. Melancholic. Mind you, she'd performed this number so many times by now, maybe she was starting to get bored with it.

Ginelle Day

She was sad she was fighting the cruelty from people about her weight and she was not over weight at all. What a great loss to the music world all because of people and their cruel coments. Loved all of her music and miss her still.

Of all the footage of Karen I hate this particular concert the most. She looks so sad.

@DallasCityGurl What an ignorant post. Anorexia is a serious medical condition with root causes beyond a person's control. Yes, there are external impacts - but this is not something that you get to vote on or label as selfish. Now ignorance, the failure to become educated about a subject before shooting one's mouth off about it and offending others - yeah that's pretty selfish.

Psychological diseases hold two ends of the coin, the person dealing with the disease and the people dealing with that person. Folks on either end of it are basically shit outta luck!! Unless there's proper diagnosis/medication/ therapy available and taken! My mother was an undiagnosed bi-polar patient... I love Karen's singing, always have and always will! It's her legacy to us all and we should be thankful for her music!. It always makes me sad though to see her in bad shape... :'-(

I have a family member who was anorexic and my feeling about it is, it's a selfish kind of person disease, because it permanently damages other family members around the anorexic person for life. I've noticed other people who are anorexic also, like in my family, care little about what their disease does to other family members.

she had ti sit down........where were the people who loved her????

yahoopl3 is so disrespectful.. poor family upbringing, anyways this is about the carpenters. Karen was a beautiful singer, may she rest in peace. She will never be forgotten.

Poor poor Karen so tired and obviously sick... but (maybe because of that) she sounds so melancolic and dark and somehow honest. And that fits perfectly to the theme of "superstar"... R.I.P. my dearest Karen!

The poor girl is crying herself to sleep.

I love watching her prepare before she sings the ballads. It's like she's summoning something within herself that allows her to channel her soul and feelings into song. I know that Karen has been described as always up, even when she was down. However, I don't think that one is capable of singing the way she did unless one has something dark to draw from.

Tony Scott

i think that could more easily be attributed to the constant touring and years of touring they did and the strain it put on her voice everynight performance after performance, eventually your vocal cords suffer from singing so much. There have been many studies done on anorxia nervosa since karens death and none of them say anything about interferring with the vocal cords. I mean, its common sense, it could be she got tired of singing it EXACTLY like the record

stephen foster

I had always wondered about that myself. I noticed a shift in her voice in 76-77, but the xmas album sounds low and big. b

NostalgiaBob

Here we go again.... I agree that Karen sang 'soft' in her later, less healthy years. It was a conscientous decision to sound 'sexier' and more like her best buddy, Olivia Newton-John. Karen was obviously getting away from that sound when she cut her last few tunes just months before she passed. Listen to "Now" and "You're Enough" from April, 1982....you will be pleasantly surprised to hear the deep, resonant Karen sounding just like she did in the old days.

The tone in that last note! Wish they had done the whole thing.
