  • Her voice is all technique, no emotion. Beautiful voice no doubt, but misses the entire point of the song.

  • Great comment, wish others would understand it.

  • She has a perfectly beautiful voice but is a little shouty and screechy on this song. Art Garfunkel has nothing to worry about; his is still the definitive version.

  • yuck.. gotta go

  • this is an awesome video of her. I will have to add this to one of my favorites. She has such a wonderful voice.

  • What do you want from a 16yr Charlotte? With life so beautifully ahead, not behin, would you want it different? She tried great. Jesus, I didn't feel, let alone accept sensitivity until well into my late 30's and thats before real grief (i've still got my mum, dad & children) mostly!

  • EXCELLENT!!! And cute too!

  • I prefer Art's voice. Her's seems too... insincere.

  • @Lakekepler u just said you were perfect... shame on u.. lets see u walk on water now...

  • @whipzter2 can u read???

  • very good but too sappy for me. Simon and Garfunkel sang it from the soul.. this just seems to made up for me. stop trying so hard and sing it from the heart...to much dragging out the notes and animation.. NOPE

  • She's definitely been studying some Beyonce. I hear it!lol. nice voice!

  • Charlotte Church bridge over troubled water

    this version is better ,,,

  • dammit, will whoever is cutting those onions stop please. oh man. *sniff*

  • @aeonjoey ya, I'm having the same issue, seems like someone is cutting onions nearbye :-(

  • Not one of her better performances.

  • JESUS ALWAYS FORGIVES. PEACE

  • I don't know why, but her voice just doesn't do it for me....too breathy and just slightly out of control.

  • @TheSuitIsNOTBlack Charlotte Church bridge over troubled water

    this version is better

  • can anyone really match elvis version .i dont think so

  • @davieclaff yes... the original artists... Simon and Garfunkel

  • ...i was once a virgin...

  • For some reson this clip made me turn on Fire in the sky, for the first time in over a month:)

  • Hiorrible - really!!! How embarrassingly bad

  • not a good performance... sorry.

  • Sweeeeeeeeeet

  • She's good... I guess... It's just that I just listened to Whitney Huston's and Aretha Franklin's versions, and this just sounds 'meh' in comparison. 

  • @averagehomosapien Oh this is nothing to what she can sing like!!! She was sick when she performed here. Go listen to her sing Pie Jesu, The Prayer and Amazing Grace. SO BEAUTIFUL!

  • Awesome. Love every moment of it.

  • Every time I hear her sing... I fall in love again !!

  • great tits

  • Love this.

  • Honestly, I get so sick of of you old people living in the past that you crap on the young one's that are coming up, Really? If you can't handle the freedom's that the brave of you fought for??than am I supposed to care? It's ok I understand. I'd rather have it going wrong in this direction, Without just Blatant Murder . Fucking cave men. Wake the fuck up.

  • @ratsnacage1 got Xanax?

  • @whipzter2 Had to google it, lol, No I prefer to go with eye's wide open. No matter how manic it get's at time's. Whatever keep's you numb from the reality's. And we wonder what went wrong? Because they have got the whole pop. loaded. Good luck with that ;-))

  • She is the amazing voice, But she has never felt the Actual pain of the person that probably wrote or felt the pain of any song that she has sang, In short she sing's the pain but doesn't actually feel it because she is immediately able to walk away from it and go walk with her rich dingy friend's who are loaded on the finer thing's in life, like flat out ignorance. I could be wrong.

  • Nothing can stop that.... Nothing, It come's natural, You shouldn't have to force it. That's the illusion, She is the carrot you will never reach. It was planted for her on accident with parent's that actually loved her, cold hard truth. She know's it and you know it. ha ha she didn't get there without reaching............Reach but don't fool yourselves..But REACH!!Love is there for YOU TOO...........Totally Possible. Just Due Your Heart And I spelled that wrong on purpose. Feel the pain, Fake.

  • @Lakekepler I guess one's religion doesn't matter so much in showbiz, all that matters is ones personality. She had those flaws which causes someone to choose drugs/booze. Nothing can stop that. Oh, and the people aorund her were probably bastards :P

  • @Lakekepler Hahahah cause that will help. You could also just avoid drinking and drugs?

  • Sounds too airy :(

  • @Lakekepler I wasn't a child star, but I DID wind up drunk on the floor of a dirty bar room. Has nothing to do with stardom. IT has to do with being a NORMAL teenager. Too bad we can't all be perfect like you...

  • I hate the way she sang the first verse.

  • @100johnwayne give her a break she had a cold and a sore throat. Besides this is how It supose to Be sung, Learn your songs Before leaving Hate coments,

    and Before Makig Fun Of My spelling I have dylexcia

  • @100johnwayne she had had a sore troat give her a break this is how it was supose to be sung

  • If any one wants to see more talent on singing this song check out Lil Jesse's Debut version, he's pretty good. Big future ahead. Hes wearing a charcoal gray shirt with a tie and he's hispanic with jeans.

  • OMG she must be the Daughter of a god .

  • I love her voice. Can't believe she chose to strain it instead of wait until she was over her cold. I'm glad this was posted. It was a good performance.

  • Finally, the first female version of this song I'm listening which is not broken down by trying to make a whole own version in order to cover up the most difficult, but essential singing parts which make this song sound like it's meant to be.... She's singing it a bit like Elvis did; and I honestly have to say that the cover from Elvis was way the best one I've ever heard... But this one, from a woman, really gives me some shivers... Guess I like Charlotte Church...

  • I am sorry but her voice and lung power have really gone downhill since she began her career. Don Anderson Calgary and Airdrie.

  • she sounds like she has problems breathing :/

  • I love her, but this is way too breathy. NOT her best.

  • Wow i think the girl sounds absolutely amazing. I love that little raspy breath she makes. very gorgeous too

  • I feel a bit sad for this singer now. When she was very young she had a pretty voice. She recorded a lot and she performed extensively and I think she over used her voice before it was fully developed and now she sounds kind of raspy and has lost the clarity even a cold wouldn't account for this sound. As she got older she has moved into more bland pop genre and her voice simply doesn't stand out any longer.

  • @gczwarkiel sorry y0u're nuts. Watch this performance, that voice is not common, it's a gift and very beautiful

  • OMG WTF?

  • the sounds constantly out of breath

  • what a beautiful voice this gal has, she gets into your soul with her magical voice

  • I LIKE THIS SONG VERY MUCH.

    PLEASE CHECK MY VERSION.

    THANKS.

  • @amermulalic there are no videos on your channel.

  • @eusebiusalexander pls check my video now. it is online. thank you for comments. 

  • Sweet and Soulful

  • Yeah nice , just wanted to hear her high note at the end.

    Art did it alright in the original song.

    .Charotte was a bit higher though

  • EXCLUSIVE - If anyone wants to see an amazing live singer that couldn't even get in to Britains Got Talent search- Dave Lennard Britains Got Talent Reject and see what you think, thanks

  • Me likey .

  • Me likey.

  • beautiful voice! nice song!

  • Her other one is the best. The one with her in the black dress. It is under my profile in my playlist, titled Charlotte Church. Have a look.

  • beautiful

  • so breathy...but not nearly as bad as some of her other stuff...but for "the voice of an angel"...she does not get a free pass...Eva Cassidy owns this song...

  • @joshuaborg s the most intelligent thing I have heard on Youtube. Eva is lightyears ahead of this.

  • @joshuaborg Amen to that!

  • Well she has a unique and different voice, I think she hit that last note very well shes a high singer!!!

  • Her voice was developed far too early in life. Nowadays we say 'Charlotte who?'

  • God, what amazing voice!

  • I love it, nice voice!

  • oh my gosh I just fell in love with Charlotte Church...

  • no eva but good

  • Charlotte you sing this beautifully, I love you your awesome!

  • Not bad, not bad,.. :)

  • blinding song

  • Good performance, but she has done it better

  • Wel done charlotte....your the best !

  • A+++. gives me chills, incredible performance.

  • wow! looooooove it!!

  • She is using a really breathy singing style here. I don't know why. This performance is really weak. She has done it so beautifully before. I don't know why she chose to perform it this way. She just wanted to experiment with a different sound I guess. Check out the other video where she is wearing the black dress. It's brilliant!!!

  • She's either a bit ill (probably a cold and sore throat) coz she soudns a bit bunged up. Either that or her smoking is starting to affect her.

  • I hope she appreciates the song and the man that wrote it.

  • I've done this song for worship before and it is not an easy song to control your breath in. I didn't hear a breath control problem, I heard the microphone gain being a little high so you could hear her inhale more pronounced. She did fine with this performance.

  • she sings it so beautyfully ..

  • I totally agree with you she is brilliant! Look at aretha franklin shes much better thought!!

  • Charlotte is a fabulous singer. For those who think she sounds 'breathy' here, I've heard reports that she had a slight cold when she performed this song. Regardless, we should all be so lucky to sing so beautifully.

  • wonderful, beautiful and awesome vocals....+ she is a worshiper....

  • she dont even look 16 in this video LOVE IT!

  • eeeh she's not bad, there are times she sounds like she is riding down a washboard road in a truck with no suspention

  • The breathiness doesn't bother me a bit...I think it works...gorgeous voice.

  • she has a nice voice but really do not think this type of music fits you check your voice was not to do this ... I hope to resume his career in classical music.

  • She performs this song just BEAUTIFULLY (I honestly rather like the way she sings this much better than her straight operatic performances). However, I don't think she is breathing right - you can hear her gasping pretty loudly between lyrics, and upon closer inspection you can tell she's breathing from her chest instead of her diaphram area. Poor girl - I think somebody didn't teach her the proper breathing techniques for a singer of her caliber. Shame on them. :(

  • SHE HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE

  • Awesome! Too bad she had a cold. But considering a sore throat, it's amazing!

  • @2004sweetpea sore throat?? go to hell, i`m crying like a little child, i have never seen this girl in my life and i thank her for this presentation... beautiful beautiful beautiful

  • she sings like an angle

  • @dishthetish Your comment actually made me burst out laughing, I think what you meant was she sings like an angel? :]

  • I remember when I first saw her on Oprah at 13 years old and I bought her CD then. She was my inspiration and ever since then I have been studying voice and can hit those notes too now!

  • @pmcmusik, I have done the same i saw her in the tv as she was 13 and on the next day i have searched in the shops for her cd..:)

  • @pmcmusik Thats when I seen her sing also

  • @pmcmusik great. can't wait to see you on the tele!

  • What key is she singing in, for my guitarist to play also....anyone?

  • gorgeus girl and voice!

  • si tiene una gran voz , ella es una soprano, pero lamentablemente se retiro de la musica clasica hace mucho tiempo (2002), pero de todas formas igual me gusta sus canciones, tengo todos sus DVDs

  • WOW WHAT A VOICE! she sure is gifted with a marvelous, golden voice!

    thanks for sharing!

  • magic song

  • 'Breathy'. That's not a criticism because the performance is fantastic. It's especially fantastic when you consider she was only 16. Round of applause. Beautiful.

  • Nice job..

  • thats great!

  • i feel in love with her like 6 years ago

  • Beautiful!

  • She had a cold

  • this song is beautiful and i love her voice amazing

  • yea it seems she runs outa air on some verses... love her though.... she can sing what ever she likes i still enjoy her talent

  • amazing xx

  • Lucky you, she's amazing(:

  • i hate when classical singers sing pop. it's too high and breathy.

  • nice voice,

    hope you could sing with Charice Pempengco

    and come to the Philippines

    you have reach us here in ILIGAN CITY

    proud to be FILIPINO

  • wonderful song and wonderful voice

  • she has an amazing classical voice, but this song sounds like she needed to clear her voice or something. but never the less, she still sings beautifully

  • Excellent version.  Paul Simon and Art are probably very happy with it.

  • a gift from god her voice

  • preferred her when she stuck to classical, but still prefer this version of the song to the one by Leona Lewis, who is also very talented - just don't like her style.She shouts too much, Charlotte sings!

  • there we go. this is what she should stay on. =]

  • Very good! Excellent performance!

  • Charlotte Church have a amazing voice.

  • high falsetto soots her more....

  • I think her voice is better suited to the classics or "Phantom of the Opera" but she is an excellent song stylist at such a young age.

  • This is so greatissimo. A sixteen year old lass singing this mature - and on top of it all presumably with a cold - is a very rare and splendid act.

    Triple bravo, Charlotte!

  • Also, they remove breathing from the studio recordings. I love this song, and how she sings it. I never noticed anything bad about it before.

  • At the beginning of the interview the host said she had a bad cold and almost didn't make it. I think this is why she is breathy.

  • fun from the philippines

  • wonderful voice

  • sorry not my type not a strong voice no way

  • that was just amazing!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • WHAT YEAR WAS THIS

  • her high notes at the end were beautiful.

  • Mit Romney Larry King

  • 16? o.O great

  • wonderful

  • she's still the best although she had changed her genre from opera to pop and still sounds angelic

  • Maybe that's just the way she sings this song. 'Cause I think they'd shift the concert if she got a sore throat or anything. "Cause a sore throat doesn't give as good a performance. And this song is very high, even the lowest note is in my sort of higher-notes voice range.

    Isn't it amaxing to be so good at just 16? She's amazing. Kind of like Aled Jones and Billy Gilman, both stars even as kids.

    Is Charlotte Church christian, 'cause I can see a cross on her chest.

  • she was raised a catholic.

  • Wow, awesome voice!!!

  • I agree. She is so big because she was a breautiful little girl who had a nice voice and had a vibrato. Not many children sing with vibratos, so everyone was like "wow!" but they used and abused the poor girl and exploited her young voice.

  • Yes...SopranoE...I agree with you totally. It's a shame her voice has changed so much in such a few, scant years.

  • Yipp

    i so agree too

    she was exposed at wayy too young of an age

    ://

  • Charlotte Church can still sing like this.

  • Yes, I agree to a certain point. I think as she matured so did her voice and it started to lose the angelic tone that everyone feel in love in the begining of her career. But than in saying that this song doesnt show off her voice to the best of its abilities. Look up a lot of her clips when she was younger, so anglelic. She does however still have a beautiful voice, just not as pure as it once was (but voices change as you get older. Just life) I highly recomend Hayley Westenra from NewZealand

  • That's because Charlotte Church started to change her style of singing until she changed her genre to Pop.

  • Wow. Just wow.

  • ¡¡ Precioso !!

  • Man too bad she started doing meth and coke. Oh well she's my roll model too. I'm gonna follow in her footsteps.

  • Go for it!

  • The 16-year-old Charlotte is much lovelier than the 22-year-old one.

    Sigh......

  • She does this a great justice!

  • she's an angelic voice but leona lewis is so much better.

  • voice of an angel, liver of a wino...lol...the words of nan taylor....(catherine tate)....nah just kidding....church is fabulous!

  • You say NO EMOTION are you deaf she sings this song with alot of emotion

  • The voice is beautiful, she also, but...I don't like her respiration: it's like as if she has no air...

  • WAUW.

  • Wow she is just amazing. I wanted to marry her but that other guy got there first.

  • Thanks for sharing this video. She is amazing!

  • Awesome from a 16 year old it is awesome! Sung with depth and feeling. Well done rock chick!

  • great singer:)

  • I can sing just like Charlotte! Only difference is I sound awful............

  • waw awsome

  • She's married now with 2 children I think to a rugby player...I loved her when she was much younger..her voice was more angelic and easy listening...this is more pop than classical..

  • They are not married

  • Shes lookin hot.
