Karen, of course. [;)] Probably because of my age too Cuddles, LOL! [:D]

Karen Carpenter, hands down. She understood that one note, properly held, delivers more emotion than endless scales and vocal gymnastics.

Thank you LeMis and Celticlord...I was feeling quite alone with my choice.

celticlord2112 -> RE: dead white chick vs crack ho (9/16/2007 8:45:47 AM)
Think of it this way: Karen Carpenter is as popular as Whitney Houston...and she's been dead for decades!

For me...Houston has the much better set of 'pipes' and could bellow out a great song and even hold that one note as well as anybody. Problem is...she's been 'dead' for years too.

I can't decide, I liked the Caprenters, but she was annorexic and set a BAD example for furure generations of women; then you have Whitney, who I like her music, but her taste in men is less than to be desired. I am taking the 3rd option, voting for neither. I can't do it with a clear conscious. Sheesh, I hope the election next year is more cut and dry.

Elections always come down to a filthy douche bag and a turd sandwich. My vote was based solely on songwriting.

I just woke up....I am sickened! ...It's as if someone put a dead hobo in my bed, while I slept... Whitney or Karen....Cut and dried...It's Whitney...I think what we are seeing...Is something referred to in the polls as the "anti DG backlash." Every person who I ever spoke of unkindly .....Every person who has ever placed me on block...That strong lobbying movement known as "the friends of minnetar"....All have known how strongly I felt on the issues regarding this extremely important measure. I'm sorry Whitney...You were and are the best...I'm glad to hear that you are currently in the studio working on your next group of blockbuster recordings.....I hope this horrible set back does not hurl you into a "shame spiral" and back into rehab.... I know it's devastating ...To be defeated by a skinny dead white chick...Who's voice couldn't hold a candle to your own...And who's biggest hit worldwide was "Please Mr Postman." After considering the ramifications of this loss...I might just pick up the pipe myself.... The folks on CM sicken me....Everyone who voted for the scrawny skinny dead white chick will be immediately placed on block....I'm sorry Whitney. I let you down.

If this little poll is in any way indicative of the tastes of the average American, it's no wonder the TV and radio airwaves are full of blather. Karen Carpenter can honestly be seen as the best female vocalist of all time? Talk about mediocre[8\|]............luci

I don't think she had any problems with her self image until the PR folks said something about it... maybe I am wrong, but I am not going to blame her since I don't believe it was her choice.

Whitney never wanted your vote....And although I'm quite confident that this vote will further her dislike of white people...She was always sympathetic to the plight of those who have suffered and are continuing to battle with the horrible ramifications of anorexia...Although Whitney has publicly battled with her own personal demons...She never lost her humanity.... She also told me that she is not your biggest fan either.

Level...Or should I just call you minnetar? It's impossible to say just how many minnetarians are running around unchecked on this site. All of them voted for the dead skinny white chick. Karen's victory was hollow at best.

Cuckme4Life -> RE: dead white chick vs crack ho (9/16/2007 12:06:12 PM)
For the Whitney mark. Has she a set of pipes? Yes but there are dozens upon dozens of singers with pipes.. Does she have one ounce of Carpenters sweetness as a human? No. There lies the difference. Whitney was a strutting diva in her day. Carpenter has never come across as " I am better than everyone" like Whitney has done. People endear to the humble and sneer at the too proud. Carpenter was pure heart and her music reflected that directly. and Whitney seemed more concerned with her public image. Greatness is not a race related issue , greatness is something that bursts out of someone who has it inside them. Its not about who has higher or lower voice range or holds notes longer. It is what comes out through their character and their heart. Whitney threw her character out the window years ago. If you are going to lean on race, then give Donna Summer her due and drop the Whitney marking. Donna Summer ruled in her day and to my ears has better pipes than Whitney anyways. To borrow from one of her songs, Whitney never had her "dignity" taken because she literally gave it away. Not wishing to correct you but Carpenter was well known way beyond "Please Mr Postman" which makes me wonder just how unfamiliar you really are with The Carpenters because she had much bigger and better hits to her credit. My fave of hers has always been "If We Try" and it has never failed to give me goosebumps. "Hurting Each Other" has a similar effect. And I dont consider myself a Carpenters fan all that much. I have my own era and taste of music to relate to but thats not the topic here. My familiarity with her music is direct influence of my mothers tastes and albums she bought and liked. Age differences reflect that and as a child hearing her albums i was well aware i was listening to something beautifully gifted and truly great. Also not one song of Whitneys gives or ever gave me goosebumps. Another thing I wish to point out. Studio work these days and Whitneys days allowed for alot of digital tweaks and twists to manipulate recordings. In The Carpenters days it was analag studio equipment and you best have your voice on because any flaws in your voice was harder to cover up compared to today. Most voices were preserved as is. Not much studio magic to lean on. Karen Carpenter may be a dead skinny white chick but one things for sure, her fans are loyal 30+ years later. Whitney is a half dead skinny black chick so whats that all about anyways? Give me the humbler more human K.Carpenter anytime over Whitney H. throwing her known diva tantrums. I may be wrong, but i honestly feel one of K. Carpenters advantages was her character over Whitneys in the final say here. Not the all too easy to blame, skin color.
