Charlotte Church interview: When the angel lost her innocence

I thought Britney Spears was dumb, but Charlotte Church makes Ms. Spears look like a nuclear physicist!

[MadIvan]

I apologise on behalf of the British nation that this mindless adolescent is allowed to wander the streets, let alone speak to newspapers.

God, what an embarassment.

Regards, Ivan

Her voice is indeed angelic. And while I don't agree with some of what she says, she certainly has the narcissistic, whining, American mindset figured out. Maybe that is why so many at the "new" FR attack her so in this thread.

You're close!

I thought that was quite an odd statement. Most Americans (the vast majority) don't even know who Blair is.

C'mon folks. This girl is 15. If you want to blame someone, blame her publicist for putting her in a position to answer adult questions, or the reporter for asking them. Interview a 15 year old singer as though they're a 55 year old senator, and this is what you get. And of course she thinks she knows it all - what teenager doesn't believe they know more than they actually do? (For that matter, what adult doesn't think that way?)

[Marysecretary]

Aw, Ivan, give her a break. She's only 15. I don't want to think of the stupid things I said and did at 15. Well, I can't remember that far back, actually. Good thing. I sing all the time but would love to have her voice. She does sing like an angel IMHO.

She's a know it all teen, true enough, but someone like her isn't apt to face some of the hard knocks that straighten the rest of us out. She might go from bad to worse.

BTW she is turning into a bit of a porker, wot? She might have to change her name to Charlotte Cathedral.

Her music is great- and I intend to buy her new CD before long. Get over her statements- she is speaking her mind...and listen to her actual singing. Regardless I will continue to support her...

Once she really loses her innocence...she will probably sell more CD's then ever before. Say what it does of our culture...I predict that will occur.

[FreedomFighter86]

Making fun of a young teenager now? Excellent way to show how mature you really are...

[maxwell]

Blah blah blah... Last thing the world needs is another childish ego to contend with... I find it particularly biting how she pooh-poohs others' being in the limelight and she got discovered on a damn TV show herself. Spoiled brat. If I did listen to that sh!t in the first place I'd quit. The worst people to put up with are the ones with the over-developed superiority complexes... That line about New York's finest really bites my a$$.

[Angry Republican]

And they call us Americans ignorant? Please. Next thing you know, she's probably helping out O-Slimey Bin Laden.

[pgkdan]

Well Charlotte, KMCA

LOL...wwhat's the C stand for?

Ms. Church sounds like a proper little b*tch doesn't she?

[sayfer bullets]

“President Clinton was like, wow, really impressive. But go to Texas, you see 1,000 George Bushes.

Obviously she hasn't read the Starr Report. The bent one Impresses while 43 is just another guy. Oh well, ignorance is bliss.

Hey C harlotte...You're almost INTERN age.

“I went to ground zero just as an ordinary person,” she announces, as if a red carpet might have been laid amid the body bags. “It was awful, people taking debris to sell. They were really rowdy, climbing on police cars to get pictures.

This chick is really clueless. If she really knew what was going on in the world, she'd know that "an ordinary person" doesn't get to go to ground zero.

[Verax]

Just now seeing this post...we have one of her albums...but that's the last. Too late for damage control.

Better give Sinead O'Conner a ring and see what to do next.

[Happygal]

Give her a break Ivan, she is Welsh! *L*

Actually she's just a kid. Kids shouldn't be let talk to newspaper folks.

[MadIvan]

Give her a break Ivan, she is Welsh! *L*

If I was "ForgivingIvan", I might. But I'm not. ;) She is singlehandledly reviving the Victorian notion that children should be seen and not heard.

Regards, Ivan

Funny you should ask! Since I was a kid I've always been fascinated with this phenomenon. :)

I think it's because Brit's are allegic to certain letters combinations like 'ar'. I once listened to what I thought was an American rock group play on Johnny Carson and when they sat down to talk they all had British accents.
