Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I always fear for the future of musical child prodigies, especially those whose vocal gifts are taken advantage of with punishing numbers of concerts and premature recordings. Certainly, I was impressed by Miss Church as an eleven-year-old and hoped that, after an initial airing, her voice would be nurtured and held back to mature. Unfortunately, this was not to be, and just a few years later, no longer merely precocious, she runs the risk of being judged on her scanty merits. How sad it is to hear the strain in her young, thin voice as she reaches for notes she cannot dependably attain, much less sustain. The "glam" CD photo of this young lady says it all. In a sagging music industry, it offers unknowing consumers the "buy me" temptation of a pretty face and a fashionable mane of blond hair. Miss Church's CD was anything but an "enchantment." Such a pity.
