Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWWWWSOME
Review: The LA-based remix team of Thunderpuss (Chris Cox and Barry Harris) give a trance-like, energetic thrust to her single "Tonight." It's one of the most exciting remixes in years and will sure take Miss Church to new levels. Absolutely stunning!

Summary: Excellent performance. Horrid, distracting light show.
Review: The performance of Charlotte Church is excellent, with a superb rendition of 'Danny Boy', and the rousing finale of 'Men of Harlech'.

Only flaw is the really horrid, distracting light show that overwhelms Charlotte during some of the numbers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The gods must me crazy!
Review: They would have to be if such a beautiful goddess graced us with her voice and appearance like this girl has! I sat through the DVD and at the end, I was speechless! The whole concert moved me, and it looks so good on DVD. Plus being a Charlotte Church fan, the photo selection was a clever addition and it made the DVD even more enjoyable. If you're thinking of buying any concert on DVD, give Charlotte Church a look. You'll definantly be surprised! See ya!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderfully Gifted Child
Review: This is a beautiful gifted child. Her voice is astounding. I am looking forward to a world tour. Every child, every family should see this Gift from God. Charlotte Church is a delightful individual.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's simple, Charlotte and this DVD are 10 stars !
Review: This is a must buy DVD !

Listening to and watching Charlotte Church in her first concert, on a Home Theater system with a good speaker system and a big screen is truely exceptional.

Forget the Internet or digital games, this DVD may be the single best arguement for the benefits of digital technology that there is.

The DVD's production does have some slight flaws though. The audio quality is very good, but there is some slight rumble at high listening levels. The video seems over driven and camera angles can be irritating when they hit laser lights (a common problem)

Now for the thoughtless part. The concert's lighting seems done by a bunch of confused 10 year olds that think hundreds of spinning and glaring laser lights and massive ultra violet lights are way cool. Reality is that it all just detracts from Charlotte's presence.

Luckily, Charlotte's young voice and personality do overcome the childish lighting.

On a one to five scale, this DVD is still a 10!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was an athiest until I heard her sing
Review: This remarkable young singer not only exudes one of the loveliest voices I've ever heard but she emits an undiminished warmth that helped me see (and hear) that there's so much beauty to life. Miss Church obviously has not let her success and talent go to her head because when I saw her perform I didn't feel as if I were looking at one who thought too highly of oneself. I think everyone in the world should listen to the CD; I've shared it with others and am looking forward to more music. I think it's a source of encouragement for all young people to behold her. Perhaps they can be inspired to expressing their own creativity. Thank you so much, Miss Church!!!

Summary: Concert video of Voice of an Angel is divine
Review: When Voice Of An Angel came out, people wondered just who Charlotte Church was. Despite being an ace singer, through it all, she was also a schoolgirl in Cardiff, Wales who has homework like everyone else, but who happens to be very talented and with some famous friends. Oh yes, and with more stuffed animals than I've had hot meals--(OK, maybe not that much, but you get the idea).

Her televised concert at the Brixon Academy in London on 2-3 March 1999 is a visual triumph in terms of the red, blue, and yellow lighting that flash during her performance, and her red jacket and trousers outfit is a smart and stylish. The kid in her is there, as she puts two of her stuffed animals, a large white bear and a goofy-looking spider, as a kind of security and moral support. Given her performance in the concert, they should be paid overtime. Though not listed on the video box, here are the songs played in order. All but one are taken from her debut album.

1) Panis Angelicus

Charlotte gets help from the London Symphony Chorus on this Cesar Francke composition.

2) The Lord's Prayer

Yes, this is the "Our father, who art in heaven" done in song, and she has to ask the conductor who wrote it, to which he responds Albert Lamotte.

3) Mae Hiraeth yu y Mor (There's Longing In The Sea)

In that song, the lights fan out behind her, giving her an angelic penumbra, and with her singing, she does have a voice of an angel.

4) In Trutina

5) Pie Jesu

In her signature tune, she gets a guy her age, Gwillem Evans, to duet with her, and he does an admirable job, and has a good voice to match.

6) Danny Boy

7) My Lagan Love

Again, the same penumbra lighting effect is done, making this a highlight.

8) Suo-Gan

9)Y Gylfinir (The Curlew)

10) When At Night I Go To Sleep

11) Men Of Harlech

This is a climactic closing highlight, as it features the Welsh Male Voice Choir, smartly decked out in red tuxes, singing a stirring, traditional Welsh song.

Those who have Voice Of An Angel who want to program their CD in order of the concert, follow this sequence: 2, 4, 15, 3, 1, 9, 10, 11, 14, 17. Then program her eponymous CD for track 16.

After the concert, there's a behind the scenes prequel of the week before the concert, including interviews with Charlotte, her family, vocal coach, Sony Music rep, manager, leading up to rehearsal at the Brixon Academy.

A stunning concert debut and the signs of things yet to come.
