WHeT Charlotte Church?

Op add her to your other odd fascination list

Her voice was never great. I suppose it was "cute," for a while, but when she matured it was amateur hour, even by relaxed, classical crossover standards. When she was late teens or so she decided to go pop-slut, and with terrible music, at which point her popularity nose-dived and became virtually non-existent. She still seems a bit trashy or "chav"-like, it however the Brits say it, and it seems mostly to be of her own doing.

She did not have a trained voice. I’ll bet she can no longer sing like that as it probably gave out.

The Ford Millennium Anthem sucked.

Her voice gave out and she said the firefighters of 9/11 weren’t heroes and everybody got up in arms.

In college I had a music teacher who used Charlotte as an example of someone who had a natural gift of singing but instead of training her voice further she misused it and lost her voice. He always said that her voice was gone, and this was around 2009.

She's busy sucking Hamas cock so her mouth isn't available to sing.

Oh, her voice WAS beautiful r2. If she trained her voice she would have been one of the greats and her voice would still be around.

Didn’t she open some bed and breakfast?

She’s fine. She sends her love.

She had a talk show in the UK like 15 years ago. It didn’t last long.

And she used to perform on her show. That shit Kelly Clarkson does isn’t original like people think. Maybe to US audiences but Church did it in the UK long ago.

I remember her and Fergie butchering 9 To 5

R7 I have to respectfully disagree. I think her voice is not good at all in that example. It's okay, but it is nowhere near great. Countless West End and Broadway performers could put that performance to shame. If she was singing that at a local fair in a small town, or a high school talent show, I might think otherwise, but it's just not remarkable.

R12 that’s your opinion. She didn’t make millions off of nothing babe.

The last time anyone saw her, she was sailing down the Thames with Queen Elizabeth for the Millennium Celebration. I think when they got to Greenwich, Liz pushed her in.

No, she would never have been one of the greats R7. She’s a mediocre soubrette soprano who could easily be outsung by any freshman soprano at any low level conservatory.

Charlotte Church is a horrible person although not quite as horrible as her mother. She paid for her mother to run a pub, a shop, a bed and breakfast and she still isn't happy.

So many stories about them in Cardiff. They're not a popular family. People know fake shit when they see it.

As for the pop career the Tissues and Issues album came out in an era of amazing British pop. Girls Aloud were getting into their prime, Sugababes were having huge hits, Rachel Stevens was knocking out bangers. For all the tabloid hype Church was so pedestrian. She recorded a Rick Nowels Boy George song called Even God Can't Change The Past which is a beautiful song but was sung a lower register and she sounded like she needed to blow her nose.

More recently she bought Laura Ashley's old house and turned it into a "luxury retreat" but spent so much money on it she had to take money back from her parents. She sold the story of the development to a tv channel for a behind the scenes show which was so dull. It's staffed by volunteers.

She also won't send her kids to the local school so they're homeschooled by the "charity" she runs and asks the public to donate money to.

Chav.

I remember her becoming a tabloid fixture in the 00s as a teen. British tabloids were harsh on her.

Her last name is Church, it couldn't end well.

Mother Maria Church orchestrated the sacking of manager Jonathan Shalit because she felt he was taking too much money.

The case went to court and a day after some pretty damaging revelations about the Church family they settled and agreed to pay him £2m.

She’s no longer a millionaire.

[quote]Charlotte Church denies antisemitism after pro-Palestinian chant

Thanks for posting that! Was on the fence about her, but when I see she’s standing up for oppressed people despite judeo-fascist pressure, I’m on her side now!

She’s no Susan Boyle.

She is a prostitute now

I'll always love her for throwing shade at that old whore Elizabeth Windsor:

[quote] I've met her about seven times and she never remembers me. When you get close to her you realise she's an old woman and has no idea what's going on

That nicely sums up the Queen's whole life - she spent almost a century shaking the hands of people she forgot thirty seconds later.

This is what I was talking about you jet set whores…

Damn, and here I thought she'd end up a classy broad -- guess not!

[quote]Damn, and here I thought she'd end up a classy broad -- guess not!

Just not our type. Belonged mopping the stage, not performing on it.

The Queen knows who the important people are. Ed Miliband's anecdote about her saying "oh it's you" was hilarious.

Considering the amount of people she met why would she remember some kid who sings?

He said: “I was deposed by the British people rather than my party, but as my career nosedived my wife’s took off.

“In 2019, she became a High Court judge and a dame. We were therefore both invited to the Palace to meet Her Majesty.

"As we saw each other, Her Majesty fixed me with her gaze and said, “Oh, it’s you. What are you doing here?”, knowing full well why I was there, and we had a wonderful conversation.

"There she was at 93, still full of vim, vigour and humour. There is a lesson for us all in the kindness she showed to me and to other Members of the House.”

Didn't Church become involved with a series of questionable men that weren't such great influences on her?

She’s fine (and in fine voice). She sends her love.

She and Jackie Evancho are in the studio now recording the flower duet from Lakme for release later this year.

Every year, she calls Buckingham Palace and asks if this year they’ll make her a Dame.

The fact the Queen didn’t remember her makes the Queen all the more endearing.

[quote]Didn't Church become involved with a series of questionable men that weren't such great influences on her?

In her teens she dated 2 working class boys her own age in Cardiff. Both were dubbed "bad boys". Neither were particularly nice people and they both sold their stories to the tabloids. One of them went to prison for drug dealing.

And then she started dating Gavin Henson who had had a few decent matches with the Wales team and had a body much nicer than his face. One media saying was "You've heard of Posh and Becks, here's Dosh and Pecs".

Gavin Henson cheated on her repeatedly and had multiple drunken incidents, like pissing over someone on a train. They sold loads of exclusives to celebrity magazines and ultimately broke up. They have 2 kids. In sporting terms he achieved nothing like David Beckham, more a David Bentley.

Incidentally Charlotte's step dad cheated on her mother repeatedly over the years. She is now closer to him than to her.

Or just senile.

R32 Jackie is also a bad singer, incidentally. While very young she was tolerable, but like Charlotte, the voice didn't age well and is barely sufficient for the "classical crossover" genre.

I remember reading comments by a few people at the time who commented that when she would try and his a sustained note, her chin would wobble which was indicative of no real classical training.

She fell down outside and the pigs ate her

Totally agree with you OP. Her rendition of “Bridge Under Troubled Water” was stunning.

I have never heard this song

Stupid morons

How do you lose your voice? You can't get it back??

R7 she's barely okay there.

R36. The Queen met Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten, and the Beatles. I doubt she excitedly told Philip, “ I Just met Charlotte Church !”

The Queen wasn’t senile. Church just doesn’t matter.

She has absolutely terrible technique R38. She never really learned how to sing because she didn’t have to. Her audience doesn’t know the difference and her managers and producers don’t know either.

R37 neither is a “bad” singer. Post a video of you singing. Let’s hear this.

Wasn’t she a chav?

That performance at r7 is very mediocre. And obviously nobody worked with her on her stage presence.

R49 all opinion. I think she does amazing and has great stage presence there.

What is she supposed to do? Dance? It’s a classical song. Retard.

[quote]The Queen wasn’t senile. Church just doesn’t matter.

For the rest of the world the queen doesn't matter, either.

[quote]What is she supposed to do? Dance? It’s a classical song. Retard.

Calm down, Charlotte. All the arm work she’s doing is weird. She just flails her arms around like she’s drowning on the Titanic. Just stand and sing the song. Less is more.

R47 Based on your advice I will never criticize a restaurant meal or the quality of a house since I am completely incapable of building a house or running a restaurant

Everyone willing to open his mouth in public should be lauded as a great and famous singer since mist people can’t sing at all.

R53 you not liking her doesn’t make her “bad”. None of that was “bad” fucking jobless retard reject.

In 2010 she joined the "celebrity panel" on Andrew Lloyd Webber's talent show to find a new Dorothy for a production of The Wizard Of Oz - this was 4th series and followed I'd Do Anything where Jessie Buckley and Samantha Barks had their big break.

Charlotte only did it for the money and the opportunity to promote her new album and towards the end of the series sang herself.

Every single Dorothy (most of them were teenagers with limited performing experience) were better than Church. There were stories that she had 3 takes of the song as her vocal was so poor.

R54. I didn’t make any comment whether it was good or bad. Apologies that your stupidity led you to think I did.

I commented solely on your brain-dead playground retort that the poster probably doesn’t sing as well as Church.

If you need help dealing with your stupidity, you can always just politely ask.
