remember Charlotte Church?

[fleabert]

the little girl with the huge voice?

holy crap! http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http://charlottechurch.net/tandi/photos.html&h=600&w=423&sz=34&tbnid=l3nyPvbveo_qJM:&tbnh=133&tbnw=93&hl=en&start=107&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtandi%2B%26start%3D100%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN

she grew up!

and after further curious image googling- I found out she's been in the Sun a few times. I had no idea she had grown up quite so much. I won't post links here, google it yourself, might get the thread locked if I do.

1. The only thing I think is a real shame is that

she took up smoking. :(

[fleabert]

2. I had no idea all this had happened!

I am surprised she doesn't hang out with Paris and Lindsay here in the states, perhaps she and Tara should party?

[billyskank]

4. It's amazing they way they grow up when you're not looking

Jeez, when I was growing up it seemed to take forever! :crazy:

[Misunderestimator]

3. Well, that's stupid.

[billyskank]

5. Yes. I must confess

I did it too. (I quit, though).

[Misunderestimator]

6. I did too... and also quit... But...

when I had a career as a singer... I was not smoking. I guess hers came too easy... she's going to blow that way.

[billyskank]

7. She's had a couple of singles out lately

just manufactured pop, indistinguishable from all the other pap. What a waste of a voice. :(

[Misunderestimator]

8. Wasn't much to start with if you ask me.

:shrug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. Doesn't she realize smoking kills your singing voice?

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. Ohh, bad idea. Someone needs to get Marianne Faithful to talk to her

[LynneSin]

9. Not only has the little girl grown up

she's a two-pack a day smoker and her 'voice of an angel' is starting to get a bit rough around the edges

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. Her "voice of an angel" was getting rough in its heyday

The few times I heard her on TV, I could tell that she was straining, and therefore damaging her voice. Evidently she got some vocal training later, but not soon enough.

[LisaL]

20. Smoking? That's just stupid. If you have something that made

you millions, why destroy it by smoking? Of course being stupid is her prerogative.

[LynneSin]

21. In her defense she's also a rebellious teenager

Let's hope she quits before her voice is destroyed

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Her fifteen minutes are long gone.

The only left is a playboy or penthouse spread, maybe some awful TV show, and perhaps a cameo on an "all-star" Easter celebration variety review in 2037 hosted by an incontinent Dennis Miller and the remains of Joan Rivers.

[Orsino]

12. Looks as though she's selling something different. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

14. Holy Shit!!!! Another one...

who peaked early and turned into a pop tart. The little girl done grew up as a bad girl.

Or, maybe, she just doesn't care after being so pushed and managed throughout her childhood. Ain't the first time.

[SoCalDem]

16. Young girls ALWAYS discover their sexuality

MOST are lucky enough to not have to do it in the public eye:(

Did we expect her to just get older, and still act/look 14?

Her parents actually kept her in check for a pretty long time.. Look at Brittney, Christina, et al...They were dressing and acting quite slutty in their early teens..(while pretending to be the virginal young girl)

[TreasonousBastard]

19. Of course they do...

and cute little Charlotte is no exception as she grows into a very attractive woman.

But, everyone has choices to make and it just looks like her choice was to have some fun.

[SoCalDem]

15. She loathes our puppet-in-chief

so she's ok in MY book :)

[fleabert]

17. I tend to agree, while I was just shocked the american press hadn't

demonized her yet. It is a shame her voice is suffering for the behavior. I don't begrudge her one bit for her sexuality- that's none of my business. And she dislikes Shrub? all the better!

[SoCalDem]

18. Voices are tricky.. they do mature & change

even in girls :)

and perhaps she's not as "into it" anymore too:) Girls just want to have fun ...sometimes:)

Go Charlotte

[bridgit]

22. although sort of 'poppy', i like her i say she'll be the next sara...

brightman :thumbsup: if she gets the right music to perform & career guidance

[elshiva]

23. MY OH MY!

Very beautiful!

[petronius]

24. 'Tissues and Issues' is a godawful name for an album...

IMO, anyway. She is attractive, though...

[gmoney]

25. Weird name for a pr0n site, too...

....ewwww

[XemaSab]

26. .

:o

[petronius]

38. LOL!

:rofl:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

27. I hate to say it but I'm disappointed with her.

[Frank Cannon]

28. Here's a great Charlotte Church quote about GW Chucklenuts:

"George Bush hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He asked me what state Wales was in. I said, 'It's its own country next to England, Mr. Bush.' I thought, 'You twat.' When I've met President Clinton and Tony Blair and other world leaders, as you do, they've all made me feel like they wanted to have a chat." He "was like a sulking child, he looked like he couldn't be bothered."

[Bridget Burke]

29. Well--maybe she's just going through another stage.

The girl with the angelic but fragile voice is gone. Now she's running wild.

Will she eventually become the sultry chanteuse with the voice that says she's seen it all? It's happened before.

[swag]

30. Yeah, she grew some nice ones.

[GalleryGod]

31. I sure do. I received 2 of her CDs as gifts.

I'm convinced she'll be just fine. Some growing pains.


As for our erstwhile music critics:rofl: JAFO.

[Misunderestimator]

40. You probably love Sarah Brightman too.

Right?

[Benfea]

32. No, I don't remember her. Who the heck is she?

Mother Theresa's long lost twin?

[StaggerLee]

37. I don't remember her either

But that's ok because she can probably say the same thing about me.

[Ryano42]

33. All grown up now...

No doubt... :o I am OLD!

[Redstone]

35. So what's her genre, besides cleavage and eye makeup?

Redstone

[Ryano42]

36. Good Question...

Surely not opera any longer!

[Misunderestimator]

39. Never really was.
