Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Compare to her previous albums, this one ranks closer to the bottom. When she was younger, say elevenish, her voice was lovely to listen to. It was a sweet, angelic voice so like a young girl at that age should sound with a potential of becoming a power house in the future. But now in her mid teens, Miss Church has yet to reach that point and one wonders now if she ever will. Her voice has not gotten better nor worse. Like a previous reviewer said, the strain in her voice is evident and sometimes a little painful to listen to. There are some songs where she's straining towards a range her vocal chords can not handle and there are other times like in "Papa can you here me?" where here voice is just above whisper (cranking the volume is needed). In fact, her pitch is not the same, at least to my ears it isn't. It sounds as if it's been lowered a key or two. Another thing with her singing is that I hear a lot of air before the words come out. Her voice does not come out as clear or pure as it could be. There is just too much whooshing sounds for me to continue listening to this CD. I love show tunes from time to time and I'm familiar with most of the songs on this album. Although I believe Miss Church did put in a great effort, she missed her mark. If you want to listen to an Opera/Pop/Broadway style of music, I recommend Sarah Brightman (albums: Dive, Eden, or La Luna).
