Advantages: she looks pretty

Disadvantages: out of tune, under developed voice

Charlotte Church has done very well for herself in her short career. After all, she is 14 years old and bought her mother a mansion. How many people can say that?!

She sings many "classical pop" songs: Pie Jesu, Panis Angelicus, Jerusalem, Ave Maria, I vow to thee my country.... as well as a number of her native welsh songs.

Her repertoire is built up of songs that everyone knows and loves, and quite frankly, hear too often!

ALthough her vibrato gives an illusion of maturity, underneath it there is little support in the higher register and there is no change in her tone colour. There is also a slight hint of a closed throat.

You can see that because she has started off her career so young, she has maybe encouraged other people of her age to listen to such music whereas otherwise they might not have done. So she has done some good for the classical world, because people might hear what she has done and then go and buy more music of a similar nature.

I do feel sorry for this little girl, because her voice has such potential but because she is being pushed so hard now, she will never get out of it what she otherwise might have done. I think if she had waited until she were older, gone to music college and then tried to make something of herself, she would be amazing. My parents were friends of Lesley Garrett at the same age, and were at music college with her. She had a very similar voice, and was not pushed at all- look what this has done for her career!

A promising voice, but should have been left alone. Let her enjoy her childhood I say! She could make a big comeback as an adult and really be amazing!
