5.0 out of 5 stars Truely does have a voice of an Angel., 31 May 2003
This is the only Charlotte Church cd that I own and I think its the only one I need. She ranges from her very first cd to her last one 'Enchantment'. She has such a powerful, well controlled and beautiful voice for her age. 'Just Wave Hello' is one of my favourite songs which she did when she was 14, but sounds much more mature. The highlight is definitely 'The Prayer' sung with Josh Groban here who has such a flawless voice to complement Charlotte's. The most beautiful song I have ever heard is 'All Love Can Be'. Charlotte sings it with such conviction, it just sounds so heavenly.

Who cares about this whole 'her voice isn't a woman's yet'? It sounds beautiful, and its the sound that counts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Voice - Poor Value, 26 May 2004
This is a great CD for those who do not want to buy all of Charlotte''s albums. This Greatest Hits Collection does leave out some gems, but you can not include everything.

However, If you have all the other items you may decide not to buy this item.

It will be intteresting to see what direction Charlotte takes her music. Pop, Reggae, Club, Garage, Car Port (a style between house and Garage music).

3.0 out of 5 stars Immaturely released, 11 Dec 2002
By sem purba (Jakarta, Indonesia) - See all my reviews
I still admire her voice and her courage (boldness?) in recording great arias like Habanera, Flower duet, etc which is more suitable for older (in age) sopranos (well i know it from our voice tutor at student choir in which I join). but this time I get enough of her.

her voice is still young - not to say immature. I consider her songs in "Enchantment" is too-early for her voice. what of mega successful "voice of Angel"? well, who can resist the stunning wonder of a 12-years-old girl singing not-off-tunely opera arias, spiritual, and folk tunes?

as she released, she seemed to be uncareful. Listen carefully to "Ave Maria"(excerpted from "Dream a Dream"). she missplelled "fructus ventris tui Jesus" like this:
"fructus ventris tuis Jesus"

she shoul choose more folk tunes and spirituals -which is more suitable for her voice - like "Lagan Love", "she Moved Through The Fair", "Danny Boy"- sadly, it's not included in this CD.

for me, this CD is a second disappointment after "Enchantment". If this is a prelude, I hope she will do better in "interlude" and "epilogue"-if there any.

she should take rest for a year or two then make a come-back so she can learn more to sustain her career as a soprano. otherwise she can turn to be a new teen pop diva.
