Just to clarify about Charlotte Church and her fabulous wobbling jaw (Ha! Ha!)
She had that even at the start when all of this hype with Sony etc started. On an English documentary, her teacher was interviewed, and there was Charlotte having a lesson, and yes, you've guessed it, the jaw was wobbling away.
I find it absolutely extraordinary that this teacher, and her subsequent one with Sony has done nothing about it. And, to say don't worry! Well, they would say that 'coz a quick buck is being made and the poor girl is on the scrap heap soon, you mark my words. Although I wouldn't call her voice astounding, I would disagree with other listers who call it unexceptional. Most 12 year olds to my mind don't sound like that. Having said that, why do these idiot coaches she's got, make her sound like a clapped out 45 year old? It's quite beyond me and very distressing. Interesting in the Julie Andrews parallel. The difference though is that Miss Andrews had an excellent teacher in Lilian Styles Allen who certainly would not have let Miss Church get away with her oddities!
Just a comment which had to come off the chest! Not sure why?
Best wishes,
