You know, that's never bothered me one bit, because them's the breaks. There
are a lot of singers out there who I don't think are particularly deserving
of their place in the performance world, but some people are in the right
place at the right time and some people aren't. The fact that Charlotte
Church is only 13 doesn't have a lot to do with it. She got a break and she
took advantage of it. Good for her.
