bye bye charlotte

Well, the final installment in Charlotte Church week is just creepy. This is a duet with british bad girl Amy Winehouse singing Michael Jackson's Beat It. I have some parting words for dear Charlotte

Charlotte, consider this a warning - Amy Winehouse could be your future. You're young, you're talented, you got knocked up, but really you're still a good girl at heart. Stay away from the booze and drugs and you'll be okay. It's too late for Amy, but you can save yourself. Stay close to your metrosexual rugby guy (even if he is David Beckham-lite) and raise your family or one day you too can be drunk, stoned and singing unintelligbly.

If that's not creepy enough for you, this duet was filmed on Friday the 13th, and today is Friday the 13th.

six degrees of charlotte

Remember the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game, it appears Charlotte Church could be the new Kevin Bacon. The girl has sung with everybody. It's time to play six degrees of charlotte: less than two weeks ago I ran into Jian Ghomeshi at 3:30am in a hotel lobby in Saskatoon. The next day Jian Ghomeshi was at the Junos with Nelly Furtado; Nelly Furtrado sang with Charlotte Church. Boom, three degrees.

Here's Charlotte and Nelly covering Gnarls Barkely's Crazy.



PS - for those of you sick of Charlotte Church, I'm sure my little obsession will be over in another day or two.

synchronicity

It's still a month and a half away but I'm really excited about the upcoming Police concert. In recognition of this excitement, I offer the following post. It's Charlotte Church (like I said yesterday, I'm a little obsessed) and some other unknown to me singer, Nerina Pallot covering the Police's Message in A Bottle.

I still can't get over the Charlotte Church video from yesterday. I have this strange fascination with it that I can't explain. It works out that she has had at least two seasons of her show, "The Charlotte Church Show". It also appears that she ended each show with a duet.

In the following video, Charlotte and Patrick Wolf (I have no idea who he is, some british singer who comes across as a bit of a queen), do a duet of Prince's "When Doves Cry".

no one told me hell had frozen over...

Because that is the only explanation for this next video clip. It's of Charlotte Church and Fergie singing a duet of Dolly Parton's hit "9 to 5". Plus it appears Charlotte Church is knocked up; if that's not a maternity dress, then that girl should fire her stylist.

Wasn't it just yesterday that Charlotte Church was a 12 year-old prodigy singing classical arias? What is she doing with a) her own show, b) singing with Fergie, and c) singing about the horrors of a regular job that she has never had?
