Need more evidence of the record industry's obsession with youth? Consider that budding Welsh diva Charlotte Church was a ripe, old 16 when this, her first greatest-hits anthology was released. Spanning her first four releases, as well as some outside collaborations and unreleased material, this 18-track collection underscores the soprano's seemingly boundless potential--as well as some potential career obstacles ahead. Her crystalline, still-maturing voice is best showcased on classically oriented works like Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Pie Jesu," Franck's "Panis Angelicus," and her now-ubiquitous rendering of Delibes' "Flower Duet." She also excels on folk traditionals such as "She Moved Through the Fair" and "My Langan Love." But overwrought productions like the already-dated "Dream a Dream" and "Habanera," a faux-flamenco take on Bizet, nearly get the best of her. Still, her promising duet with fellow young phenom Josh Groban on "The Prayer" and her mature, dreamy reading of A Beautiful Mind's "All Love Can Be," as well as strong performances on the previously unreleased "It's the Heart That Matters Most" and "Bridge over Troubled Waters," are ample evidence of her potential for rewarding pop crossover--if she doesn't retire by 21. --Jerry McCulley

 Excellent listening music April 14, 2010
buellgirl44"cab" (Monongahela, PA USA)
This is the best CD i have ever bought. I have over 100, the music is great to listen to in the car, while reading, house cleaning, and even at work. Charlotte has an excellent voice...it is amazingly beautiful. I wish i would have heard about her sooner. the varied music is wonderful. i bought it simply because it contained the closing song from the movie "beautiful mind"...boy was i pleasantly surprised when the entire cd, EVERY song is great! That doesnt happen too often with music. Buy it if you want a good all around operatic/easy listening CD!!!
Beautiful...the negativity astonishes me February 2, 2010
Sean Woody (Seattle, Wa)
Why are so many people hell bent on smearing this young woman?? Every track on this album is excellent. I could care less: 1. WHO wrote the songs 2. If her voice completely flawless every second. 3. If she publicly puts her foot in her mouth once in a while. Who hasn't?? My personal favorite is her rendition of Amazing Grace.

Bobby J. Truong (Philadelphia, PA)
I couldn't believe reading all the negative reviews about this album that I had to say something. I was first introduced by a friend and I was hypotized by her beautiful voice.
About the songs in this album, they are simply incredible. Nice to put on when you're in the mood for some good music like house cleaning, etc. By the way, did I mention this album comes with a CD and DVD. I really like all the songs here.
 incrediable voice May 28, 2009
