Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Other reviewers have complained with some apparent authority about a lack of talent here, but I found Charlotte Church's voice to be fundamentally quite pleasing. It is strong, clean and clear, and seems to have a range more than adequate for the music on this CD. I thought her control was fine (and I do have a musical background, so I am not completely ignorant on these matters). Where Enchantment fell down for me was not in the technical area, but in the absolute banality of the selections and a lack of any artistic expression throughout. The folk tunes and opera and broadway hits all sound basically the same. The selections themselves are a hodgepodge with no sense of either trying to make a coherent albumn or showcasing Church's talents - I suspect sobody just picked 15 tracks that they thought had the name recognition to sell. And while the technical performance is fine, none of the tracks have any intensity at all. It's all rather bland. Maybe sometime Church will do her own albumn, somthing that establishes her own identity and on which she can put her own stamp. Until then, I'll take a pass, I think.
