Charlotte Church and Peter Karrie

cdaae will either love me for this post or kill me for it.

This is a clip of Charlotte Churche and Peter Karrie singing the title song. I found it by some Gerry fan girls bashing it.

Here are my thoughts on it:

-Pretty good. True, there were some weak aprts, but she was eleven when this was recorded.
-Wasn't she considered for the role of Christine in the movie? I personally think she would have been wonderful...

What do you guys think?

	so that's the illusive peter karrie! rock on. charlotte was definitely a bit weak, but when you hold her against emmie rossum, she still sounds better. and that's at only eleven, so that should tell you something. :) not gonna lie, karrie was scooping too much for my like, but i thought the orchestra was friggin ON. thaks for sharing!

	She applied, or the equivalent of acting stuff (before audition), but was apparently 'too fat'. 'Too fat' being 'normal weight', as far as Shumacher is concerned, it would appear... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She'll kill you, because this clip sends me back into calling him Tom Jones mode. does Tom Jones dance It's not unusual to be loved by anyone! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	she at least would have done the role justice too... even if she was "normal" and not freaking gross... (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	But of course that's too much to ask of Hollywood. Maybe the wanted Mary Kate Olsen, but then she got treatment :p (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Or Lindsay Lohan - she's getting there anyways - maybe they could redue it now that she's not so "HUGE" >_O christ.... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bluehairedthief 2005-06-25 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yep - Charlotte Church was considered - and rejected for being to fat if I read correctly. (Reply to this)

Wow, for only being eleven at the time, she was still pretty good. :D As for being weak in parts -- I have no musical training, so I wouldn't know, but hey, she was only eleven at the time so I won't fault her for it. ;)

And this is that Peter Karrie person I've heard so much about! He was good too, but then again, I'm sure he's used to singing such a song. ;)

Charlotte Church -- too fat? Wow. Most of my friends must be fat too. Oh noes, we must all diet like mad now.

	Got any Good clips then you'd be willing to pass around? My buddy shogun_kuro now thinks of Peter as "the Tom Jones Phantom". ::ducks and covers:: (Reply to this) (Parent)

Poor Peter...

PK's voice isn't my favorite for the role (skews a bit too near to Colm Wilkinson, IMO), but it is a good voice, and I like his physical acting--excellent hand work there ;-). But oh dear Lord...

The age difference between the two singers is enough to make this song come off as profoundly disturbing--that Karrie manages to get through it at all is a testament to his acting talent, I think. And Charlotte Church...eeweeweeweeweew! Thin timbre (something that annoyed me with Rossum as well), pitch was all over the place, no expression whatsoever, and what was up with her singing most of the song up an octave? Did she lack the lower range to sing the song properly? (notice she also skipped the climactic high E, which spoils the ending IMO.) Honestly, I don't think she's any better than most singers her age...whose bright idea was it to give her a recording contract? The filming was clumsy too...why all those shots of the instruments? Added nothing at all...

	PK = the suave on stage. He strives for that side of Erik especially. Charlotte churce has always bugged me, but I can't really place why.... (Reply to this)

	I'm not a big PK fan, but I think he has a great voice (His MOTN is partilarly powerful) and the clip does no justice to him. Charlotte plain scares me. (Reply to this)

haven't listened to it yet but...

unless Charlotte Church has changed a lot recently, she's more or less Emmys twin in my opinion...

Hey instead of Emmy's "Charlotte Church Lip Wobble" we could have had the real thing! (sorry to be sarcastic - but seriously - unless the girl's voice has changed a lot, and she's gotten diction - she really wouldn't have been much better than Emmy - yes she could sing the notes better, but her diction has always (ok used to be - I haven't heard anything of hers in the last 2 or 3 years) been just as horrendous as Emmys if not worse) - plus - I just can't stand that lip wobble thing some people do (perhaps to "create" vibrato that ought to be there naturally?)

	This girl does to the part of Christine what Gerry does to the part of Erik! Personally I don't think she can sing that well, I've met girls in my highschool choir that could sing better than that. Peter was pretty cool, though, once I realized that he wasn't Tom Jones of course. (Reply to this)

	Beh... Charlotte Church. I am NOT a fan. I had a mp3 of her singing "O Mia Bambino Caro" and let me tell you, it makes an opera fan weep- WITH DEVASTATION. (Reply to this)
