Here's a different video from the black and white GAHOM. Her mic technique is really lacking in this.

Never seen that one before. It was interesting.
(The green light and her shiny suit look like a Doctor Who episode.)

Hot take:
Christine might have found bigger solo fame if she had followed Billy Joel's example and done some videos and live performances standing up with a guitar like one of the boys instead of hunched over at the keys like an overworked secretary.

Or jump like Elton?



But seriously, Elton always complained the piano didn't allow him to do much on stage, that's why he came up with the jumps. I know jumps and costumes wasn't Christine style, but yes being in front captivates the audience more. I remember the Carpenters history, it was hard to convince Karen to stop being behind the drums.
