Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have followed Charlotte since she broke on to the music scene and was captivated by her first album, which lead me to believe that we had seen the birth of the next superstar. I passed, however, on her next two albums, when she did not improve on any of those technical faults in her singing, despite the fact the selections on those albums were an improvement over #1. I cannot begin to tell you how dissappointed I was when I heard this #4 album. Instead of attempting to correct her faulted singing, she drops down into a vocal range where she lacks the strength that made her unique and attempts to take on song classics from stage and screen, which even divas 3 times her age have found challenging. The result is a disaster of unprecedented proportions. The pieces attempted, which include "Tonight" "Habanera", and "The Prayer", where they run in American phenom, Josh Groban, as a duet partner in an attempt to right the ship, only show how inept she is attempting anything outside her forte. An uninformed listener would think he/she is hearing to a recital from a grade-school musical audition as opposed to a Columbia Masterwork. And, if she continues to attempt works so far beyond her ability, she should in fact limit them to the aforementioned grade-school musicals rather than attempting to pass them off to an unsuspecting public as professional works.
