I like novelty songs, but I just didn't click with that one, and considering I have Joe Dolce on my playlist, that means a lot!

Too bad the Carpenters didn't make it through. To me, Karen Carpenter has one of the most beautiful and clearest voices in pop music. They might have a chance to come through again this round, but Please Mr. Postman isn't one of my favorites, as they have far better songs than this one (which obviously weren't a UK #2 hit).

Yes, that was another great side of her, right! Behind the drums she looks simply stunning - in her 70s outfit. I love it!

Yeah, the appeal of the Carpenters for me is largely in the warm coziness of Karen's voice but that doesn't really shine in a by-the-numbers oldies cover like PMP.
