[Cjay]

Karen Carpenter
Gladys Knight

No competition at all. Carpenter was one of a kind whereas the other woman was just a 'ten a penny' karaoke singer.

[The Subhuman]

Gladys was just fine as a soul singer, but a tier down from Flack... Who really should have made the last 8

[Cjay]

Licence to Kill is a great song imo.

But I've grown to appreciate Karen Carpenter's voice.

[Muppet the Cat]

KC, hands down (but then she’d be a #1 against any of the other seven)

[Cjay]

Bump.

Good way to get involved if you arent confident speaking is to vote on polls.

[1964white]

Both have lovely distinctive voices.

Gladys is so underrated, I love my soul, so she gets my vote.

Karen will probably walk the poll with her gorgeous voice.

[Mountain]

I've never really heard more than the opening bars of a Carpenters song before it's turned off. I always thought of them as nice teeth and jumpers with fixed grins, the Stepford Wives of harmless pop.

Cjay, was Randy Crawford in this from the start? I don't remember seeing her but if she wasn't she most certainly should have been.

No Chilli.

I didn't think she was and I did a search and last mention of her on here until you today was 2016.

I can't believe she didn't get voted in.
Thanks Cjay.

Mariah Carey and Dolly Parton not mentioned either.

Quite a few shocks

[Cjay]

Any more votes?

A final bump
