Summary: A pretty blend of class and culture...
Review: 'Voice of An Angel' star Charlotte Church has much to learn, but her voice can carry a tune and she sounds very mature for her age. The concert itself was rather tasteful. No slinky outfits, no dancers distracting the audience. No smoke or dramatic screens to show off the young soprano slithering on the dance floor to 'Pie Jesu.' Charlotte has the spark, wit, and personality to pull off the impossible: capturing the audience's full attention with her voice, and performing a wonderful concert presentation. Unfortunately, there are some things I do not like about her voice; it strikes me as nasal at times, like she has a heavy cold. Hopefully, she'll grow out of that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charlotte is delightful on this VHS tape.....
Review: Charlotte Church demonstrates in her concert that there is a lot more to a performance than sheer technical perfection. The ability to connect with an audience via projection of personality is the magical ingredient for an entertainment success. And this young lady has what it takes. I very much enjoyed the concert, and the insights into her life were quite charming. The overall quality of the production is very good and the tape can be recommended for and enjoyed by anyone who enjoys pleasant music.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great voice, Poor song selection
Review: Charlotte Church has a beautiful voice, but the songs on this video don't show it off very well. She's much better at baroque period songs than classical/romatic. If you are interested in Charlotte Church, get her newest CD.

On the other hand, though, Charlotte Church sounds awesome singing anything, and while these are not the best songs for her, it's still great to listen to. The best feature of this CD, though, is the interview at the end...she has a really great personality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly gifted girl
Review: Charlotte Church has one of the best voices I've yet to hear in any opera performance. This program shows her range and her all around beautiful voice. Let the others say what they will, this girl is here to stay.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Teen Singing Voice I Ever Heard Definitely Angelic
Review: Charlotte Church in This Recording will really Touch Your Heart. The music itself on Audio CD or Cassette is Paled Compared with seeing her actually seem to be praying the words out as she sings in concert. This to me is an item that should be in all Classical or Christian Religious Music Lovers homes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Touches the Soul
Review: Charlotte Church is an accomplished young teen who truly reaches audiences of all ages and across all musical spectrums. SONY Music and Public Broadcasting (PBS) accomplished quite a coupe in feting her in such a forum ... and we thank them ! Despite her several years of stardom, visibility and international acclaim, we're embarassed to say it was the PBS broadcast of late that brought her to our attention and made us instant and enduring fans.

Since hearing this 'voice of an angel' six months ago, we cannot travel far nor relax in our home without yearning for the magical sounds of Charlotte's voice ... with apologies to no one, we heartily believe she has a very special, God-given, unique musical touch. A handful may critcally assess the breadth of her classical training or question the maturity of her voice, however we shall be forever grateful for the blessing that is the voice of Charlotte, an accomplished woman whose wonderous voice touches our heart and most assuredly has taken residence there forevermore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: Charlotte Church really does have the voice of an angel. I have never heard anyone like her. What is also cute is that her 13 year old personality shines through, too. At the beginning, she brought a couple of stuffed animals out on stage, and a few other times, did not know who the songwriters were. This was part of her cute charm. She is an ordinary 13 year old girl with an extraordinary voice. It is truly a gift from God above.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Angel Indeed
Review: Charlotte Church will hopefully remain one of the voices of the future. She is a remarable talent proving that today's young people are capable of great things besides hip hop and rap. Without seeing her perform, it would be hard to realize that suck a magnificent voice came out of someone so young. She is the essence of youth untouched by the drugs, booze, and sex emulating from today's modern music culture. She is a refreshing change the stale, everybody sounds alike music of our supposedly dominate society.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Misplaced Popularity
Review: Charlotte Church's current popularity clearly shows the public's general distaste in classical music. Any vocal pedagogist or singer, from watching this video, could sit down and write a substantial critique of everything the young Welsh soprano does wrong.

The human voice is a fragile instrument indeed. Used properly, it can create a beautiful sound. Used in the manner of the young Miss Church, one will experience general fatigue and laryngitis in extreme cases.

Hopefully, there is a pedagogue out there who can correct Miss Chruch's vocal issues, and help her to achieve the status that the public places her in. Otherwise, she will continue to develop techincal problems that will eventually prematurely end her career.
