Charlotte Church - Enchantment
I had the opportunity to review this album at a listening post in a local record store and unfortunately am unable to give it anything less than failing grades. With the exception of cut #2 Carrickfergus, the renditions of each song attempted will go down in history as the weakest versions ever recorded. Even the great Josh Grodon couldn't pull this one out with his "duet" on the last cut with Charlotte. His voice only served to show how amateurish Charlotte's really is. What the label failed to see here is that you can't pay Barbra Streisand's producer a million $$$ to produce the album, throw in 4 Streisand classics and expect to turn Charlotte into another Barbra Streisand. Charlotte is way out of her league here. All of the production values that Columbia can come up with could not make this album worth purchasing, no matter how big a fan of Charlotte you are. It's better for Charlotte's fans to remember her from songs in her first 3 albums. To listen to Enchantment will only make them feel she should stop singing for a time until both her range and ability to put any emotion into her selections are vastly improved.
