Oh yes! I'm pretty sure Timbaland would have a perfect beat up his sleeve that would please the hip hop kids AND the die-hard Carpenters Fans.
Whether you're a Hip Hop Fan or not you just have to admit that Timbaland is a very good producer. His album Shock Value is excellent! 50Cent, The Hives and Elton John on one album - I'd like to see anyone else do that!
I saw him live on Justin's Futuresex/Lovesounds-Concert and he was amazing!
But regarding the style I think Karen and Pharrell Williams and/or Kanye West would build a perfect match.
By the way, what do you, especially Rick as a Chris Martin Fan, think of the song "Homecoming" by Kanye and Chris? I reckon there are not that much Rap Fans among us, but I think this song is just brilliant!
The clip is brilliant, too:

Like the song, a homage to Chicago..
I like "Homecoming" much more than "Beach Chair". As you know I'm not much of a rap fan... but at the same point I do recognize the work put into putting it together. Kayne West is proficient in his timing and rhyming... he does a good job. Of course I really like Chris Martin's vocals on this.
CG... again you are so right Timbaland would do an outstanding in producing an album for Karen. I like some of Timbaland's songs and he does have a knack for a good strong melody and chill beats. I love his song "Apologize".
The talents of Williams and/or West would certainly compliment Karen's voice. I wish so much she were still alive because I know her voice (even at age 58) would still have that verve that would capture the ears of musicians from all genre's across the board. As it is she's doing that right now, she's just not alive to record new music with some of the younger talents on the current scene... of course we know Karen would also work with the tried and true legends in the music business... she's always been one of variety in musical styles in her recordings... solo and with Carpenters.

Oh yes, I just can't stop thinking "What would it be like if Karen would still be around!"
I love to read that you appreciate Timbaland's talent. "Apologize" is definitely a great song.
Listening to his song with Elton John "2 Man Show" again, I just have to think of a collaboration of Timbaland and the Carpenters. Richards Piano play over Timbalands Beats with Karen's vocals - that would be my dream come true!!
