hotcandy's Full Review: Voice of an Angel by Charlotte Church
My mother has no musical taste! It's a fact that she can't even deny. If you don't trust me, let me run down some of her "must have" albums over the past couple of decades.
Hall and Oates topped her charts for quite a few years. You know, it wouldn't have been so bad if she actually liked one of their not so bad songs, but she scratch a grove in the album on "Your Kiss in on My list" by playing it a thousand times.
She clinged to Squeze AFTER they turned into a pile of wusses over night. She didn't like there "Cool for Cats" days.
And of course, now she's into InSynch... because they have nice voices. Geez mom!, at least tell your friends you have a little young meat fetish... their voices!!!! please!
So that being said, I was a litte leary about Mom's choice when she told me about this little delicate flower that has a voice that floats straigh to God's ears. Her words not mine. I was expecting some dumb 8 year old kid that can hardling sign trying to pull off grown up songs. You know a lilly white version of Kriss Kross ("Kriss Kross gonna make you...").
For once mom picked up a cd that actually had a good voice on it. Too bad is this business talen doesn't seem anything. Look at Rush. Supposedly these guys are unbelievable misicians. I know I can't beleive it. They put out garbage that only the Hall Monitors listened to. And the guys that really rock my a-s-s probably couldn't get through music 101 - Posion, Areosmith, and all.
The music is a little bit of cute and a little bit of adult. Sort of like the pictures you can find an any kiddie porn kingpin's laptop while he's doing the one handed surf. Make up your mind, cute or adult. We only need one Kathee Lee in this world singing her garbage about cabbage.
It's impressive that this 12-year (at least 12 when the cd was made) has such a voice. Better cash in before puberty creeps up baby. Peter Brady suffered from the change and you know it's going to bite you bad. But again, impressive talent doesn't mean much if you can't go 3 minutes with the cd on. When I see Tommy Lee I'm impressed, but that doesn't mean I'm going to listen to his cds.
The cd's intersting but more as a novelty. Wow a young girl has a nice voice. It's nothing better than other adults, but because this little half woman sings it we're supposed to gush.
The absolute worst part is this little saprano attempting a rendition of "Danny Boy." This might be sexists, but this is a song build for a man with a Irish broge to belt out. Not some whinny little Welsh girl. I can only compare it to Sinead O'Connor trying to sing "Don't cry for me Argentina". TERRIBLE eventhough I love her music.
