I think she sounds great in this song.. I wish I could hit the notes at the end.. I've only been able to hit them once, and I was so relaxed at the time that I was almost asleep.
I think people are a little harsh about Charlotte Church.
I am no expert but I have developed a keen interest in opera in the last few years so I can totally get what people are saying about her technique.
However we have to bear in mind that this was an 11-12 year old girl who was manipulated, misled and misinformed. She was pushed into songs that her voice wasn't capable of sustaining because it hadn't fully developed to cope and it sounds like she was mis-instructed by her vocal coaches!
@ageordieboy I think ppl are way too harsh abt Charlotte Church. she has an amazingly gifted voice. I feel that she is not like a normal opera actress but more of a contemp opera with a diff kind of beat to it. I may be wrong at what I say but it is also because I am not a performing arts student so my knowledge is bad. but I have always been inspired by Charlotte and will continue to support her even when her taste in music has changed, Inspiration first, Technique ltr, quality last.
She looks a bit like the girl who played Sabrina here. Anyways usually when I see/hear a work of art done by a "prodigy" I usually don't take age into account and looks straight at what was produced. While I think this is pretty good its not spectacular in any way.
@hinatarocks88888 the hell is wrong with you? she's amazing. and take into account that she's only 15 years old. its pretty amazing that she is only 15 yet she can sing like that. so dont go hating on her.
@iluvjonbrandis Listen to others singing this aria, then you'll really understand the criticism. If you want young singers, listen how Nadine Sierra sounded at 16 (not this aria, but you can still here the difference in voice, technique and artistry). This is a beautiful aria, and Charlotte has a pleasant voice, so unless you've heard it before, you may well like the sound. But try listening to this, for example: /watch?v=2JlwfcRv2oI There are other versions too including from teens.
@hinatarocks88888 i must say that your voice is some what impeccable. however more work can be done...i would advise you to learn your breathing and pitch then you will be allowed to criticize others.
@hinatarocks88888 YOU go to a Charlotte video and spew rude garbage, don't think you'll get a free pass. You are biased by being taught rigid rules about an art form, in which are nonsense. You have no individual ability to evaluate. You just go on with what your jealous crowd taught you. You are the ones poking fun at someone else expense. You even bragged about it. Doesn't say much about your or opera persons charactor. How about posting a video of you singing? Afraid of being laughed at?
@hinatarocks88888 There are certain parameters when it comes to all music. One of the parameters when it comes to opera is that you project as powerfully as possible, which as a result, quaility of voice is diminished. Give me an artisst that isn't embarassed to use a microphone.
The thing you and your opera snob buddies don't realize is that Charlotte is NOT opera, and she is the one smiling all the way to the bank.... not you.
@crr1950 You really don't understand much about projection. It has nothing to do with straining or trying to be loud, but with how the voice is produced. None of the quality of voice is diminished in opera singing, quite the opposite, as you would've known had you actually listened to a live opera and how magical unamplified voices sound. It's also not the only thing that matters in opera - diction, phrasing, tone, expressiveness all matter a lot.
I love Charlotte Church's voice and music. Her style is very pretty and I can recognize her voice anywhere - it is very distinct - in this case it is a good thing!
@hinatarocks88888 You may be offended, just the same your comments offended others. She wasn't auditioning for you. You're an example of where the term "opera snob" is applied. She is NOT opera. She is also worth several million due her "atrocious" voice. She is the butt of jokes in opera world for one reason only.. it's spelled j-e-a-l-o-u-s-y. When you do the sound track for an Academy Award / Oscar movie let us know.
Oh, and BTW, Johny Cash and Bob Dylan are the butts of many jokes too.
@crr1950 "opera snob" is a term people who don't know opera at all decided to apply to anybody who doesn't appreciate their idols. They don't understand that opera fans have heard the same music performed many times, and have a completely different frame of reference. Classical music - both vocal and instrumental - has high standards, and anybody attempting it in public is compared to the best. Incidentally, in berating "opera snobs" you sound as a snob yourself - in a "reverse snobbery' way.
I will always love Charlotte Church. Her past and her current styles are amazing. She still has an amazing voice. I don't see her voice as ruined at all. I love all the versions of the songs that she did. I can't wait to hear more from her.
You have to understand that this is just about the easiest "aria" for a light high soprano. That's why the standards are so high. It is always sung in the opera bars. After a couple drinks even this limp version might begin to sound OK.
This Church girl has a breathy almost whispy sound. She seems to be swallowing the mic. She is very pretty however.
I find this hilarious to see how many people come here wasting their time writing about how much they don't like her technique, how much they think it's wrong to push someone that young to sing like that, how much she "ruined" or permanently damaged her voice... You people MUST go get a life and stop WASTING your precious time listenning to someone you don't like. ALSO, you can analyse her voice as much as you want, I still enjoy hearing it.
Trying to tackle this song at 15 is not a good idea...for anyone!
Hearing the air behind her voice and in her offsets was almost intolerable. What she was doing there was so damaging! She was definitely put into opera WAY too early!
@lilyballerina Your rite, like most people her age her technique isnt ready. Ther are rare exceptions. My school puts on a yearly opera, only 1 in the US we no of. We did Die Zauberflote 4 years ago and had an abnormally vocally mature 15 year old as Queen of the Night, but her voice was very developed. This year were doing Les Contes D'hoffman (so excited) and my 15 year old friend is probably getting Olymipia, but shes ready, and is now Christine Daae (they just released the rites for skools)
@christineannemarsden I hate it when parents say: 'Oh hey my child is three and can sing! Then force them to do voice lessons that cause their voice to mature to early...which causes a great deal of damage! And unfortunately, that's what happened to Miss Church.
@FireStar32005 I do not understand what you are refering to. I mean, how the hell is her voice supposed to be ruined!?!?!? What did she loose exactly? She can certainly still sing, she just doesn't sing opera anymore cause she chose to grow up and do something else.
@Gudulpif She lost her range and the chance to reach her full potential. And I'm sorry singing pop songs isn't exactly growing up. Sure it's a new technique and new style, but not growing up.
@FireStar32005 Growing up, for me, means leaving the past behind and looking right in front of you and do what you want to do and learn to know yourself. Also, I don't think we can actually call what she's doing now "pop"... It's a different style, it's her style and most importantly, she is now singing her words.
@flowersings I'm sick of pompous pretentious fools who think so highly of themselves that they feel they can call other people "pompous pretentious fools".
@operadiva023 Of course they do, we all have two pairs of vocal cords - one is a true pair and the other is a pair of false cords in the larynx. The only difference is that probably it isn't called "falsetto" though. I don't know what it's called.. false voice?
Unfortunately she hasn't improved with age, but gotten worse. Many teenage sopranos have a seemingly limitless top, and can sing quite cleanly, with no breath support to speak of, just like Charlotte, but no pitbull stage mommy like hers to promote her. She really has terrible phrasing, focus is all over the place. This is NOT good singing, even for a 15 year old.
@Trillidotia Church has stated that she has never wanted any formal training...and it shows. With training her technique might well have improved, along with her phrasing and and focus. She never would have had the voice to be an opera singer though. I agree that her voice has unfortunately gotten worse. The damage she has done to her voice really shows now.
She does have good tone quality. Most of the time. However she lacks the projection up high. But maybe that's because of age. Just saying, I (am a sixteen year old) and my (opera singer) voice teacher is working on this with me. With proper instruction it's a good song... I just don't think she has the notes.
@redhead529 Charlotte Church isn't opera...she's a mezzo soprano and she sings CLASSICAL! By the way, I could still probably sing this song, with a tad bit practice on my WORSE day when you are having your very BEST day! She did a very good job! Also, she was properly taught, unlike most!
@flowersings Wow...Wikipedia..you know something funny is that I did actually look up Charlotte Church on Wikipedia, around a month ago mind you, and you know that it did state somewhere in there that she IS a Mezzo Soprano..so please the next time you go babbling on about things you think you know...think again!
@sweetaztecangel69 Just because she says she has a 4 octave range, doesn't necessarily mean that she truthfully does! Yes I realize that I could possibly have been mistaken, but I can assure I did read in a few places that she was only a mezzo, I can also assure you and everyone else who reads this that I was quite shocked!
@sweetaztecangel69 I don't have anything to prove...just like you probably don't. Lets just leave it at that. Now if you don't mind, which I'm sure you won't, I've got other things to do then to argue over some strangers octave range!
@redhead529 I disagree. i take singing lessons from a famous singer who went to the singing school, Juliard. 1 in 3,000 people make it into this school. she knows what she is doing. charlotte knows how to breathe correctly. i met her last week at one of my singing practices, and trust me, she is a more professional singer than anyone you will ever meet. Even though, at her young age, singing like she did does not harm your voice whatsoever if you warm up properly.
@jwosborn1 You probably have a very good teacher, but being a good singer doesn't necessarily mean you're a good teacher. The worst voice teacher I ever had gave up the chance to be principal baritone with the Vienna Opera to come back to the States and teach. Bad decision. He had an exquisitely beautiful voice, but he was a terrible teacher.
Wow, she's waaay too young for this song in this recording. :S
You can hear it in her voice, the breath control isn't what it should be, it's all airy. Surely that's obvious? She sang it nicely enough, and she had clearly been trained to within an inch of her life, but she shouldn't have seriously attempted this type of singing for a few more years.
She has a very good voice for her age, but I have to say, I agree with the people who say she's too young. Her voice has a peculiar, airy quality to it. Yes, she sings prettily, but I don't think she's ready for this stuff yet. Certainly, I think she will be in a couple of years - even now, she'd be a great lead for a musical - but doing it now might even be damaging.
@ xoxpenguinxox I'm sorry but i disagree. I was pulling off stuff like this when i was her age. All you need is the passion and desire to attack such things. It's the same as saying Women can't be Construction workers. If you have the drive and the skill to back it up, then what's stopping you.
Charlotte Church has such drive and skill, therefore she is able to pull off this song regardless of her age. She sounds amazing doing it. So no age does not have anything to do with it.
Charlotte Church maybe many things. But flat in her real life:P And flat when she sings isn't one of them.
And Taylor Swift couldn't hold Charlotte's bra strap:P
I don't find Taylor Swift pretty at all or very talented. We can argue that on one of her video threads. Not that I'd go listen to one. She's just not my cup of tea.
what the heck does age have to do with singing a song. It's not like you pick up a piece of sheet music with a statement that says WARNING: " You must be 16 to sing this song." Give me a break. If your voice is trained enough it can be done. I admire her courage for attempting this piece. I think she did an excellent job!
@xoxpenguinxox i agree with you, though I don't think you can pinpoint an exact age when a voice is mature. It also varies with voice types. I do know that singing something you're not ready for can damage the voice. Even mature opera singers sometimes wait to do certain roles. The bass, Samuel Ramey, sang a lot of belcanto and baroque opera as a young singer, waiting until later on in his career to tackle heavier roles.
@arpeggio1358 Yeah this is true, a lot of conservatoires put on baroque operas as they are easier for the less mature voice as such, instead of throwing them in the deep end with some wagnerian opera.. :|
@xoxpenguinxox It all reminds me of Jose Carreras who was pushed, by Hervert von Karajan and others into roles too heavy for his lyric tenor voice. The result was that Carreras had pretty much sung his voice out by his mid-thirties, long before he became sich with leukemia. Pity. It was a lovely voice.
@karaokedivah , As xoxpenguinvox says below age is very important. If a singer is pushed into singing material that he or she isn't ready for, the voice can be damaged. There are even opera roles that established singers don't tackle until their voices are ready for it. Sometimes the singer won't sing a particular role until they're into their 30s or 40s.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually this isn't Charlotte but me - I was asked to record the track in her place and quite frankly your criticism of my intonation and God-given tone is upsetting. The angels would weep.
This translation is awful and leads to horrible vowels. Oh, and she's really flat. I'm sorry, maybe if she learned how to breathe properly she could pull this off... Her sound production is not consistent at this age, nor should it be, but I definitely think she shouldn't be approaching coloratura arias at 15, you definitely don't know your fach at that age. And if you don't know what a "fach" is... STFU and go back to your Taylor Swift.
@beeholy Agree, The Laughing Song was a popular solo for the sopranos in our youth choir years ago in the 60s/70s, including myself. I sang it no problem in my teens but couldn't by the time I was older as my voice became lower. Too many "experts" on here nitpicking.
Her voice isn't bad, but she strains a lot. And she clearly can't hit the high notes. This just means she has a lower voice (mezzo). This was just the wrong song for her. She was too young.
I cannot understand how anyone could be putting down this girls VOICE! :| This is absolutely AMAZING for a 15 year old. I mean... let's hear YOU do it, for goodness sake!
What I'm saying is it don't matter how bad she is. She had a go and is making money off it. The challenge I put down is - are any of you guys a household name. I applaud the girl for her spirit.
I think it is somewhere a law that for opera fans or students, you have to hate on someone who is not your favorite--this is a competent version of the song--could a mature full bore soprano do it better? Yes. So freaking what!
As a counterpoint; Terre Te Kanowa (phonetic spelling ) and Jose Carreras were both top rated operatic talents; their version of West Side Story is not that great-even with Leonard the Ego Bernstein conducting them.
Get outta here you lot !!. Have a go yourselves and record it. See what you sound like. Anyone that has a go at this should be applauded. Charlotte has made a lot of money at this game. How much have you made ??. If you want a real treat - listen to Carla Maffioletti do it on Andr'e Rieu's show.
Sorry , But I feel her technique is a little mechanical, she takes the tempo of the vocal passages too literally, not fluid enough. Could use a little more playfulness. Having said that, not bad for 15.
I cannot believe That some have stated that she sings this with less technique than an 11 year old.. Which 11 year old??? This sounds exceptional for her age and her quality is very very pretty. What a bunch of asses.
Her teenage voice was beautiful, but its husky and angelic (meaning sexless) qualities were everything but good for opera singing. I found her versions of Le nozze di Figaro's Cherubino and Lakme's flower duet absolutely enchanting, but in most of the classical arias she used to sing was lacking a HUGE component of opera and singing itself: EMOTIONS. She sings joyful and sad arias in the same "above it all" way, as she thinks that the notes will pretty much do all the interpretation work...
I really enjoy Charlotte Church music and has a beautiful voice. Die Fledermaus is one of my favorite operetta and I play that every New Year Day and is really funny.
Deutscher:
Ich wirklich genieße Charlotte-Kirchemusik und habe eine schöne Stimme. Sterben Fledermaus ist eins meines Lieblingsoperetta und ich spiele dass jeden Neujahr und bin wirklich lustig.
Sounds quite good. Although she was 15 in the recording, she sounds between a choirgirl and a young classical singer, but there is a lack of technique! I heard a version from a little choirboy, age 11, singing this with a better techinque and quality. She makes all the difficult things softly, intelligent. Anyway, she's was TOO young for this song and so the little choir boy. I think this is an average interpretation as a classical singer and musician.
To Gwendolyn , You are not literate either! She is prob singing it in English BECAUSE she's 15 at the time! I know a great deal about opera/music and you do not show that you know. Lots of people sing "The Laughing Song" from Di Fleidermaus in English to entertain people who do not speak other languages. People cope differently with pieces & not all people follow 1 route to being asinger. I love Charlotte's tonal quality. She even sounds lovely singing in a TV advert. And she is beautiful!!!
This was beautiful. Am I the only person who can listen to a song and not critique the hell out of it and compare it to other (and much older) singers? Just enjoy the music man...
I'm so glad you said that. I'm so over people comparing her to other singers and criticizing the hell out of it. And I'd be willing to bet that most of the people talking so much smack can't sing a lick themselves.
It just seems like in classical music more than any other genre, everyone is a fucking critic. It's like the whole thing is built on foundation of deluded bitches.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
obviously ur arnt a musician cause if you were you would know that no 15 year old should be singign music this advance (it is the reason she no longer sings classically she shot her voice.) and she is an amature. and while it is acceptable to sing it in English a real opera singer wouldnt. im a purist madam i hope it doesnt offend you
So I suppose Joan Sutherland is an amateur because she sings this operetta in English as well (look for vids on youtube). I hate it when amateurs talk out of their ass on these videos and spout their so called knowledge as if it's gospel truth.
i'm sorry to say, but this is just atrocious. she had no business singing this, her voice completely lacks substance, this is just squealing, weezing and air.
truthfully, i wish that she would have stuck to opera, instead of going into pop. this is absolutely beautiful. im glad that she didnt damage her voice by singing songs like this when she was that young. im only 14, and i can guarentee that you wont be seeing me sing stuff like that until at least a couple of years. :]
I think she did damage it by doing these kind of songs :/ If you listen to her trying to sing her old songs now, she can't do them nearly as well. It's sad. I think she pushed her voice a little too much.
No she damaged her voice with smoking. It's really sad. I mean, she still has it, just not the way she did a few years back. I know my vocal coach almost killed me when she caught me smoking. It's sooo bad for your voice and lung power. People aren't joking when they say that. The good thing about it is how fast you actually heal when you quit. After a little while you can get back to where you once were.
I love her singing opera but I have to admit I really liked her pop album. I've been singing opera since I was just a couple years younger than you and I used to try songs like these. It won't damage your voice unless you're trying to jump to fast. As long as you work within your own limits you should be fine.From my personal experience singing these songs really helped me control my already wide vocal range. But everyone develops at their own pace. Good luck with your singing.
this sort of repertoire can really damage someones voice at this age. The amount of aspiration you can hear in her voice is evidence that she was clearly not vocally mature enough for this, perhaps this is why she crossed over into pop circles and no longer sings classical.
I do love charlotte's voice, and she has an amazing ability. I do understand the fears people have of her damaging her voice, though. it would be sad if she had done something too hard physically for her at that age and damaged her vocal chords so bad she couldn't sing anymore.
I'm 15 and learning to sing this song...lol...but there is something i don't like about Curch's and Brightman's voices that i don't like...maybe its that they sound breathy...but idk...
Both have a tendency to sound like they are singing from their molars, trying to swallow their tongues. They both have beautiful voices but I agree that it can be a little . . . annoying? Off putting?
brightman just sucks, thats a different issue entirely. charlotte church is WAY too young to be singing this kind of repertoire, thats why you can hear so much air and aspiration in her sound. I would discourage you from singing this kind of stuff at your age, starting this kind of music too early can cause the voice to deteriorate much earlier than it might naturally otherwise.
I think that she was awesome, and that if she wants to sing a song like this then go ahead, its not that high if you've been trained to sing like this
not that high? there are high Ds, it doesnt get a lot of higher, the operatic repertoire only goes a note or two higher, and for a 15 year whose voice is clearly not vocally mature enough for this, this kind of repertoire can be quite damaging.
Wow....some take Church's version of this song to the extreme. Sure this is a 15 year old attempting a piece for an experienced singer, and it sounds ok, but being pushed by record executives and lousy teachers aren't a good tactic.
I love Charlotte Church and was complete unaware of this debate. I think she's an amazing vocalist. I hope she didn't damage her voice doing this song like you guys say.
On another note (no pun intended) I tried to sing this song and I actually can do it occasionally. It's rather fun but I don't sing it nearly as well as she does. xD
To all those who believe Charlotte's vocal abilities are being disputied, I do believe you are misinterpreting what is being conveyed. Those who are operatically trained, simply state that this song is way too big for a young singer no matter how gifted. In spite of having a voice coach, children by enlarge have not yet mastered the vocal abilities a seasoned operatic artist has. There is no doubt that she is gifted and is one of my faves, but the truth is she could have damaged her voice.
How is this out of her depth? she sounds great!

Trying to tackle this song at 15 is not a good idea...for anyone!
Hearing the air behind her voice and in her offsets was almost intolerable. What she was doing there was so damaging! She was definitely put into opera WAY too early!
lilyballerina 1 year ago
@lilyballerina Your rite, like most people her age her technique isnt ready. Ther are rare exceptions. My school puts on a yearly opera, only 1 in the US we no of. We did Die Zauberflote 4 years ago and had an abnormally vocally mature 15 year old as Queen of the Night, but her voice was very developed. This year were doing Les Contes D'hoffman (so excited) and my 15 year old friend is probably getting Olymipia, but shes ready, and is now Christine Daae (they just released the rites for skools)

@Gudulpif She lost her range and the chance to reach her full potential. And I'm sorry singing pop songs isn't exactly growing up. Sure it's a new technique and new style, but not growing up.

@FireStar32005 Growing up, for me, means leaving the past behind and looking right in front of you and do what you want to do and learn to know yourself. Also, I don't think we can actually call what she's doing now "pop"... It's a different style, it's her style and most importantly, she is now singing her words.

Unfortunately she hasn't improved with age, but gotten worse. Many teenage sopranos have a seemingly limitless top, and can sing quite cleanly, with no breath support to speak of, just like Charlotte, but no pitbull stage mommy like hers to promote her. She really has terrible phrasing, focus is all over the place. This is NOT good singing, even for a 15 year old.
Trillidotia 1 year ago
@Trillidotia Church has stated that she has never wanted any formal training...and it shows. With training her technique might well have improved, along with her phrasing and and focus. She never would have had the voice to be an opera singer though. I agree that her voice has unfortunately gotten worse. The damage she has done to her voice really shows now.

@redhead529 I disagree. i take singing lessons from a famous singer who went to the singing school, Juliard. 1 in 3,000 people make it into this school. she knows what she is doing. charlotte knows how to breathe correctly. i met her last week at one of my singing practices, and trust me, she is a more professional singer than anyone you will ever meet. Even though, at her young age, singing like she did does not harm your voice whatsoever if you warm up properly.

Wow, she's waaay too young for this song in this recording. :S
You can hear it in her voice, the breath control isn't what it should be, it's all airy. Surely that's obvious? She sang it nicely enough, and she had clearly been trained to within an inch of her life, but she shouldn't have seriously attempted this type of singing for a few more years.
thequeenofsheba3 1 year ago
She has a very good voice for her age, but I have to say, I agree with the people who say she's too young. Her voice has a peculiar, airy quality to it. Yes, she sings prettily, but I don't think she's ready for this stuff yet. Certainly, I think she will be in a couple of years - even now, she'd be a great lead for a musical - but doing it now might even be damaging.

Charlotte Church has such drive and skill, therefore she is able to pull off this song regardless of her age. She sounds amazing doing it. So no age does not have anything to do with it.

what the heck does age have to do with singing a song. It's not like you pick up a piece of sheet music with a statement that says WARNING: " You must be 16 to sing this song." Give me a break. If your voice is trained enough it can be done. I admire her courage for attempting this piece. I think she did an excellent job!
karaokedivah 2 years ago
age has everything to do with singing.
a voice doesn't mature properly until you're 27. yes, she sings in tune, but she doesn't have the maturity or experience of an older opera singer.
xoxpenguinxox 2 years ago
@xoxpenguinxox i agree with you, though I don't think you can pinpoint an exact age when a voice is mature. It also varies with voice types. I do know that singing something you're not ready for can damage the voice. Even mature opera singers sometimes wait to do certain roles. The bass, Samuel Ramey, sang a lot of belcanto and baroque opera as a young singer, waiting until later on in his career to tackle heavier roles.
arpeggio1358 1 year ago
@arpeggio1358 Yeah this is true, a lot of conservatoires put on baroque operas as they are easier for the less mature voice as such, instead of throwing them in the deep end with some wagnerian opera.. :|
xoxpenguinxox 1 year ago
@xoxpenguinxox It all reminds me of Jose Carreras who was pushed, by Hervert von Karajan and others into roles too heavy for his lyric tenor voice. The result was that Carreras had pretty much sung his voice out by his mid-thirties, long before he became sich with leukemia. Pity. It was a lovely voice.
arpeggio1358 1 year ago
@xoxpenguinxox actually, in that last post, it should have read "Herbert" not "Hervert".
arpeggio1358 1 year ago
@karaokedivah , As xoxpenguinvox says below age is very important. If a singer is pushed into singing material that he or she isn't ready for, the voice can be damaged. There are even opera roles that established singers don't tackle until their voices are ready for it. Sometimes the singer won't sing a particular role until they're into their 30s or 40s.

This translation is awful and leads to horrible vowels. Oh, and she's really flat. I'm sorry, maybe if she learned how to breathe properly she could pull this off... Her sound production is not consistent at this age, nor should it be, but I definitely think she shouldn't be approaching coloratura arias at 15, you definitely don't know your fach at that age. And if you don't know what a "fach" is... STFU and go back to your Taylor Swift.

I think it is somewhere a law that for opera fans or students, you have to hate on someone who is not your favorite--this is a competent version of the song--could a mature full bore soprano do it better? Yes. So freaking what!
As a counterpoint; Terre Te Kanowa (phonetic spelling ) and Jose Carreras were both top rated operatic talents; their version of West Side Story is not that great-even with Leonard the Ego Bernstein conducting them.

Her teenage voice was beautiful, but its husky and angelic (meaning sexless) qualities were everything but good for opera singing. I found her versions of Le nozze di Figaro's Cherubino and Lakme's flower duet absolutely enchanting, but in most of the classical arias she used to sing was lacking a HUGE component of opera and singing itself: EMOTIONS. She sings joyful and sad arias in the same "above it all" way, as she thinks that the notes will pretty much do all the interpretation work...

Sounds quite good. Although she was 15 in the recording, she sounds between a choirgirl and a young classical singer, but there is a lack of technique! I heard a version from a little choirboy, age 11, singing this with a better techinque and quality. She makes all the difficult things softly, intelligent. Anyway, she's was TOO young for this song and so the little choir boy. I think this is an average interpretation as a classical singer and musician.

It won't damage your voice unless you're trying to jump to fast.

But everyone develops at their own pace. Good luck with your singing.

this sort of repertoire can really damage someones voice at this age. The amount of aspiration you can hear in her voice is evidence that she was clearly not vocally mature enough for this, perhaps this is why she crossed over into pop circles and no longer sings classical.

To all those who believe Charlotte's vocal abilities are being disputied, I do believe you are misinterpreting what is being conveyed. Those who are operatically trained, simply state that this song is way too big for a young singer no matter how gifted. In spite of having a voice coach, children by enlarge have not yet mastered the vocal abilities a seasoned operatic artist has. There is no doubt that she is gifted and is one of my faves, but the truth is she could have damaged her voice.
