  • i really love this song, her voice and the video. such a shame ppl are so obsessed with hits-by-numbers from rihanna and co.

  • what a little cuevey knockout

  • oh wow! i love this! I was such a massive Charlotte Church fan... and now i'll think i'll reclaim the love I have for her... she's looking so good! and she's sounding fab! Good Work Charlotte! from all the way in New Zealand :)

  • I love her "dreary opera shit", Christmas music, and her pop music. I admire here a lot! She's Fabulous.

  • - I love it and the album! I think it would do well in the states as classical music isn't as popular here

  • she look's like janine butcher

  • I don't care what anyone thinks, this girl is fabulous and she's got a great voice. Would love to meet her hey.

  • @janettosan yes she is great, love her attitude but i really miss her operatic voice! i think she lost it after drugs and alcohol

  • Is it me or Do i hear A-Ha's Take On Me in this song?

  • There is a splash of red, in the scarfs she twirls haha SamanthaRy1 is right! This looks like a target commercial! The only issue I have with this is that she really isn't a good pop singer...I mean, she doesn't have the style in my opinion. But more power to her for wanting to do something fun and rebel against all the classical training.

  • "dreary opera shit"....great, if you don't have anything nice to say....

  • MINGING SHITE

  • I don't recognize her. She's better to sing her christmas songs.

  • I prefer her old Christmas music

  • well i really like it, a shit load more than the dreary opera shit. plus i like the eyes :D

  • Great song, but PLEASE lose the horrid black eye makeup!

  • Yay! Glad she's back. I love Charlotte church!

  • she has still got it, and looks good too

  • ..recall a poet's words bout rememberin the plumtree blossoming in the thacket?...

  • so much for Yamagama

  • whatever she chooses to sing she does it beautifully...get over it, she has grown up, she has proved in the past that she can sing her butt off.

  • She Destroyed her voice was it five or ten years ago with smoking and heavy partying and this voice she has now is nothing special and whats with the raccoon eyes ??! Oh well I hope Jackie Evancho doesn't hand grenade her voice like Church .

  • I meant isn't trying on that last post. 

  • This is actually a nice song and her voice sounds great. At least she is trying to mimic the black soul sound that many girl singers are doing today. It's even seen on terrible shows like American Idol. Charlotte Church has clearly defined her vocal style, she has great range and is far better than Christina Aguilera or any of those other hacks. I'm not a regular listener of Charlotte Church but I sure know a singing voice when I hear it.

  • she's almost sounds a little country -popish, She's a fantastic singer either way :)

  • Actually like this song, she sounds better singing like this

  • Lovely song ;) so what if it didnt do commercially well , she is talented x

  • This looks like a Target commercial if only there was a splash of red somewhere.

  • OPERA PLEASE!

  • When was this recorded? I was always wondering what happened to her? I remember listening to her CD's like Enchantment and some of the other opera ones and then nothing. I live in America so she stay may be big England or Whales? Could someone fill me in?

  • @MsBubbly95

    She went pop in 2005, her first pop album was called Tissues & Issues (it peaked at 5 in the UK) and the first single called Crazy Chick to number 2 in the UK and the second called Call My Name went to number 10. She had 2 more top 20 hits as well. This is from her 2nd second pop album called Back To Scratch, but the single peaked at 200 and the album only peaked at 23 :( So no, she's not really big here anymore which is a shame as both albums (especially the second) are brilliant!

  • @09beyoncefan Ah I see. Thanks so much :) By the way, sorry for all the grammatical errors in my last post. I was a bit sleepy and typing fast haha :)

  • Go back to Opera Charlotte

  • this is....terrible.

  • miss her singing opera :(

  • On an interview last year when 'Back to Scratch' album was out, she said she'd do an Opera album when she's about 30! So she's not outta the game just yet :)...

  • If you don't use it, you loose it. She'll never be able to go back to opera. Even though she still has a "big voice," (I know this, II've heard it) she has said that she doesn't remember anything she had learned. I know we all would like her to go back, but she won't. She always has to say in videos that she still has her big opera voice, but what do we always hear? POP. She obviously has no intention in singing opera again and she is getting too old to re-learn everything. She threw away a lot.

  • @operagirl81 Have you heard her interpretation of pie jesu at the coal exchange?

  • @Gudulpif  Yes I have. I don't like her interpretation. :p

  • @operagirl81 It's ok. I didn't write that to know whether or not you would like it. I was responding to the "She obviously has no intention in singing opera again" statement. :p

  • How are you Charlotte ? Wishing you the best,,,your No1 fan...

    Steve..God bless you and everyone around you..xo

  • any one else she looks a bit like janine butcher

  • @wiifelix YES! ive been saying this for over a year now LOL but no1 agrees she looks loads like her don't she

  • @wiifelix ffs dont say that!!! thats an insult to the sexy char

  • i like her better when she sang opera dont get me wrong she sounds execelent here but i dont think pop music is her thing.... but if it makes her happy then i would support her all the way...

  • They changed the location of Esengul (sorry)

    Nice outfit tho'. Skinny waist =D

  • It's good to see her back. I'm not wild about this song, but some of the other songs on this album (especially "Where Did All the Actors Go?") are great. And more importantly, she looks so happy and relaxed. It's nice to see her becoming comfortable in her own skin.

  • Charlotte is so incomprehensibly beautiful!

  • Classical singers do not make good pop. Neither is singing the only thing needed.

  • I love charlotte church but was disappointed by the video and thought it did not showcase well her vocal talent..even a professional can have a dud of a song and this one is surely one...

    Tessa

  • I love charlotte church but was disappointed by the video and thought it did not showecase well her vocal talent..even a professional can have a dud of a song and this one is surely one...

    Tessa

  • xylaphone dude is xylaphoning

    

  • @Singularbeing She started smoking for a while :( Nevertheless, her voice tops any secular artist out there. She's extraordinary :)

  • I had no idea she had a new album out!

    I love Char Church!

  • 0:42 What a chorus! I've got this song on repeat, a highlight of her album.

  • she looks hot, sounds very modern and up to date pop... but you dont have to suppress your voice to be a good pop singer... why not be more like katie noonan during the george era? this just sounds like another pop song that i wouldnt buy.

  • i love her voice in these songs, everyone saying she need to go back to opera, i disagree. i think she has evolved as an artist. this album is much more mature than her last album, and i cant wait for the next one.

  • Comment removed

  • i agree i miss her operectic voice

  • The promo for this single showed her out on a (cold) beach. Wonder what happened to that footage?

  • It is never a waste to do things in life that you enjoy. If singing pop makes her happy then it is certainly worth more to her than doing what other people want her to do.

  • @Unreal32822 I agree with you. Unfortunately...artists have to do what other people want (and will pay for)...See Michelangelo's bio.

  • @Unreal32822 Not just pop, but her own personal songs...she is more of an artist here than doing classical.

  • She used to be so unique, not anymore. Did she have a nose job? It looks like it and it wasn't needed she was beautiful in her natural state and without all of this makeup.

    She's really far too talented to just blend in with so many others that just pretend to have talent.

  • she can't sing opera anymore,destroyed her voice by singing opera too young. Also this looks like a target commercial.

  • @genitalsmckool Ummmm no she ruined her classical voice by chain smoking, not by singing opera too young.

  • If you take a listen to some of her other songs from this album, she sings in her head voice/higher register. But right now she's singing songs that best suit her voice where it is right now at this point in time, which I think is the best route for her to take. She's said she wants to get back to classical music and be trained in that area once more; but she would have ruined her voice had she gone from not singing for a few years to suddenly singing classical songs in such high registers.

  • @Kalypso3000 isn't that what happened to julie andrews too?

  • @KiraAdzior I suppose you could say something similar happened, but Julie had surgery on her throat in 1997 which left her unable to sing. Her first singing performance after her surgery was in The Princess Diaries 2 in 2004, 7 years afterwards. Charlotte took time off to raise her children; resuming her career after fully recovering from Dexter's birth and after her children had grown a little.

  • i dunno i just think her singing pop is quite uninspired compared to her classical crossover days

  • Shes good at pop (so are most), but she is great at classical (what a gift/range to waste).

  • @potluck365 I agree. It kills me to see her let it go.

  • Клип великолепный, певичка отстой!

  • so glad she decided to go to pop! I like it so much better in her voice! Also, I feel you can express your true emotions in everyday language like this. Sometimes, it's hard to act to music that is hard to relate to, like opera (although i love opera).

  • THE HALLOWEEN EYE MAKEUP HAS GOT 2 GO!

  • @HEARTHEANGELSVOICES That's called the classic smokey eye.

  • Beautiful voice, even if you sang the McDonald's jingle.  Never stop singing Charlotte! Never stop shining!<3

  • Her voice sounds different but Good

  • her voice is much more suitable for opera songs, n I love all her classic songs.. this one isnt that bad but i still prefer her to sing opera..

  • She should go back to opera =\

  • She should go back to opera =\

  • She shouldn't have taken so much time away from the music industry to focus on her short-lived relationship with rubgy bf. Also, all that baby-having has taken a bad toll on her body. She's young but looks like a drugged-out Madonna. The music video for her lead single is terrible. Charlotte is loud enough as is, do we really need 10 Charlottes at one time?

  • She looks amazing! And damn...catchy song is catchy...

  • this video sucks, its boring, something a college student would product, charlotte excelled at classical - here she sounds just like any low grade pop singer, too bad, I miss the classical sound

  • is this video about a ball

  • skel,u dont get her

    she is just beautiful... fact !

  • I like that she's gone from one end of the music spectrum to the other w/o taking the downward turn most musicians and performers make, most especially ones that are child-prodigies transitioning to adult performers. This is one performer I respect for the effort she's put into her training her whole life. This is such a cute video!

  • Loving the look C!

    Stay Sexy!

    xxx

  • my head's spinning

  • @GuitarWhisperer you're about 5 years too late then.

  • @GuitarWhisperer It depends... Cause I'd say never. But if you consider as a whore a woman wearing heavy makeup and short dresses, well then I'd say only in this video. If you are refering to the only 2 music videos from her last album where she was dressed a little bit sexier than usual, then I'd say since she's 19 (she was 19 back then). If for you a whore is someone very sexually explicit in her attitude, her lyrics, her dancing and in the way she acts in her everyday life, then I'd say never

  • I LOOOOVE this song! Up beat, catchy and something we all can relate to! I love the intimate quality of her voice in this new pop-y stuff...but yes, I too miss her classical sound.

  • Im glad she recorded "enchantment" though. It's my favorite album of hers.

  • Welsh. Whore would be her last album. This album is more along the lines of redemption or personal because it was inspired after the breakup..or was it divorce.

  • God, she sounds sooooo common like this!!! Just like every other pop singer...

  • @MrReed314 Really? In what way does she sound like Rihanna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Pink, Natasha Bedingfield, Cheryl Cole or any of the others that I could name? Even those that I have named all have different types of voice. Charlotte has a big belting voice with a slow but strong vibrato and a pretty sweet pop head voice that she uses pretty often unlike most of the other pop singers. I'm not an expert though, so I could be wrong :S

  • I actually like this song, and video, and I don't listen to very much music out there nowadays because I think most of it is crap. I was a big fan of Charlotte since the beginning and even though I usually don't like her "non-opera" pop voice, the REAL shame here is that she has had two kids with no commitment from her boyfriend and now they are not together anymore.

  • i plain like her.

  • It's a good video and song. Nothing compared to previous classical works, but it's a shame that audiences can be so bastard to describe this as 'the worst thing they've ever heard' I mean, If you don't like it, that's fine but please RESPECT! Maybe I will no be buying any of her new albums, unless I like one of the other songs which I haven't heard yet, but will be likely buying something classical from her.

  • I agree! She sounded better a few years ago...

    

  • I agree! She sounded better a few years ago...

  • I cant even finish this song. Charlotte, I havent been following you. But I've heard a few songs. Eughhh! What happened to her?

  • People, I know you have opinions but can't you understand that the woman just wants to sing what she wants and feels and show the diversity of her voice?

  • @horrorhearter oh, finally someone who agrees with me! this is very alternative, there's a lot of singers who sing this way, and she's not singing bad here.

  • @lucy0loves0music two great minds think alike :) I can imagine that the comments like this are a whole lot worse on stuff like Call My Name. 

  • EW. NO NO NO. She cant sing here. Call my name sounds waaaaaaay better.

    I liked Charlotte and really admired her as a little girl, but now. I realize she doesn't sing all that well. But I still like her. Shes a lovely person (I've talked to her before) - Or so she seems. I hear a lot of smack talked about her now. Then again I live in the US, so I dont know much about her....

  • possibly the worst song I have ever listened to in the entire 22 years I have been living and breathing. At 2:31 I almost wished my heart had suffered an attack.

  • I LOVE IT

    SHE IS AMAZING

  • She looks good here, though I wish she'd go back to singing opera.

  • @Fuliginosus I recently saw an interview where she was saying that she would like to go back to it someday, but it's not for now and she would also like to have a real proper classical training this time, so she could try to play in a real opera. The guy asked her wich role she would like to play and she said La Boheme. I can't find the interview though (wich I found the first time with google video and not on youtube) but I found an article about it.

  • @Fuliginosus i think she is fine where she is, she seems to be comfortable singing her own typ of music, and i wish she would go back too, but i think her older fans like you and i should give her a chance to spread her wings and express herslf in a whole new way that we have never seen out of her

  • I didn't even recognize her or her voice at first! It's even more different than her Tissues and Issues album. Why such heavy eye makeup??? She has such beautiful eyes, it only does her a disservis, in my opinion.

  • @Singularbeing First of all, she is a known smoker. That can hurt a singer so much. :(

  • i wont know this is charlotte church if isnt for the title...

  • i love the melancholy of this song and its lyrics so bittersweet :).the strings behind the track are really mellow :)

  • Reminds me of Maria Elena Salinas with this look.

  • she is awesomeness!!!!!!! she sounds a LOT different in this song that in dream a dream! She rocks!!

  • Charlotte, me alegra mucho verte bien y con un nuevo album. Estas muy linda y el video es simple y original. Saludos.

  • They all look like Jane Krakowski.

  • @purelitenite - Is that a bad thing? Jane is awesome. :-) And so is Charlotte. All in fun.

  • I would love to buy your album, only it is not released in New Zealands iTunes store !!! so I cant.... you may want to fix that !

  • This is not bad at all. I actually like the song and everything but at the same time, it just really really makes me sad that the Charlotte Church I used to know who used to sing prayer and pie Jesu......has turned to.......this.

  • What the hell is this crap? Sounds Like Japanese Pop AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

  • Uck....I liked her classic stuff. I am all about artists re-inventing themselves but she sounds awful, she doesn't seem natural in this genre, it feels so forced. I was hoping she'd grow into a Sarah Brightman-like figure...There's enough crappy pop singers in the world we don't need another. Her classic, yet still fresh sound made her unique.

  • nice video but i lke her before she sold her soul

  • I got dizzy just watching the video. Yet I like the eight people effect. That made me really dizzy.

  • The music is diarrhea inducing. The visuals are like they were made by someone who had zero inspiration by this shitastic track. What was created was clean visually but overall this is another steaming pile of main stream music video shit.

  • I can't belive it! She looks like a bad copy of Madonna and Lindsay Lohan!! I wonder how someone who has an amazing voice and talent wish to sing pop songs? I think Charlotte can sing any kind of music she likes, but... This is very poor. It's a pity. Definitively I prefer the charlotte soprano. At least, she should to take more seriously her career.

  • @elmoaioria TOTALLY agree. Have you watched her sing "No More Tears" in Over the Rainbow?

  • dslrfeed.com loves this video! Front page'd...

  • come back to classical!

  • woah this is now charlotte? :D

    awesome that she's back on her feet ^0^

    there might be a change of image but she's lovely as always :)

    her voice isn't the classical one anymore but the kind of "harshness" in her voice gives her a bit more of a pop edge..we'll all miss the classical song singing little girl but at least she's back in the music scene after awhile ^_^

    though..she does kinda teensy bit looks like lindsay lohan with the makeup and hair :P

  • Wow!..from a little sweetheart singing classical songs to a full grown woman doing pop songs. Where have I been?...my, time sure flies when you're having fun. What a shame, all those mascaras are covering and hiding the beauties in her eyes.......

  • not everyone needs to be a pop star!

    Just sing what you are meant to sing!

  • Charlotte,

    Now that you've become an anti-Catholic bigot, not to mention a slut, is there any way I can get back all the money I spent on your music and memorabilia when you were a normal human being? What the heck happened to you?!!!

  • @FotoGraffer How dare you insult someone who don't even know!

    Firstly, what gives you the right to sit in judgement on someone else? And secondly, how on earth do you figure she's a 'slut'?I have no idea why you no longer consider her 'a normal human being' as frankly in this game she's the most normal celebrity I can think of!

  • How can she keep her beautiful voice down in pop songs.

  • How can she keep her beautiful voice down in pop songs

  • How can she keep her beautiful voice down?

  • Ok, I can dig it...sure sure. Definitely different from her earlier faires

  • Ok, I can dig it...sure sure

  • she is perfect for eurovision =D

  • @93rman Yeah, she could definitely go and bring the British standard back to where it was before! =D

  • @93rman Really!??!? Shes definitely far too talented to be on eurovision..... lets be fair... This isnt her best stuff, but to be on Eurovision you have to be shite. Regardless of your opinion, Charlotte is far from Shite.....

  • What happened to her? I liked the old her better. :/

  • @yourenotalone94 Me too.

  • whatever it's simple, she's trying something she's never done, she has balls and she looks good doing it!

  • i am NOT digging her attempt at pop music.

    classical = epicsauce. love you still tho hoebag :D

  • salut d-na profesoara =)))))

  • This is the synopsis of Charlotte. She possess a beautiful voice, is lovely and is absolutely gorgeous. She says it best herself: "I'm awesome." :)

  • Looks like she got punched in both eyes

  • wow she cant sing any more at all! I remember her when we where kids and she was a bomb shell!

  • @MrsOwineape I must respectfully disagree.

  • @MrsOwineape I think she likely CAN still sing, but she is trying to fit in to the modern pop demands. Her managers are in charge of her image and they are changing her to be like all the rest of the so-called singers. I don't like the way they have her eyes so heavily made up. Charlotte is beautiful and would look better with less make-up IMHO.

  • @mmcrosbie absolutely agree. they are tryna change her into something shes not...whats wif the panda eyes...cmon seriously

  • @K4t3W0zHiA And who are "they"? You know, she didn't decide to produce everything by herself on this album for no reason!!

  • @K4t3W0zHiA They? Let's see: over 11,000,000 albums sold, worth millions. I'll bet Charlotte a lot of say in what she does.

  • i thought she was amazing as a classical singer...why did she stop? i mean this is really good. and its quality pop but....they need more people to bring classical back in to young peoples lives

  • @sweetness010 I agree with you 100%. Maybe she should sing with Gustavo Dudamel and one of his orchestras.

  • i thought she was amazing as a classical singer...why did she stop?

  • kinda weird........ :/ but its cute I guess:)

  • How could anyone criticize. She is gorgeous. I love her. Jasie xx

  • Catchy song but the vid is a bit like the BBC One intros...

  • The song itself is catchy after a while, the video however, well I don't understand the symbolism of it as it relates to the song, its all a bit confusing and disorienting, but perhaps that is the point. I was a big fan of her classical music. I just received my copy of the new album today. Wasn't sold here in the US so had it shipped from Germany. Haven't listened yet, but from what I have heard so far the melodies are eccentric and quirky and lyrics are more mature, which all suits me fine.
