I agree whole heartedly. There have been many singers that at a very early age exhibited advanced vocal talent. I remember reading Joan Sutherlands' autobiography where she talks how about how she sounded as an adolescent. But Ms. Church I don't believe is one of these phenoms. She does have a nice instrument for her age, but the technique flaws tell the story.
