If nobody hasn’t noticed, Charlotte Church has been part of this forum for the past few days. Mainly her comments are being posted, which I find to be cool, but I don’t understand why some of you diss her when you don’t even know who she is. If you want to know, well, find out before you judge! She’s an opera singer, she started out at the tender age of 12, she has been singing to the most powerful people in the world including President Clinton and even the pope. So for you people that call her a “nobody,” well, who are you to talk? When was the last time that you sang to the president or the pope, or sung in the most famous opera houses in the world, as well as being respected internationally for your voice? So think about your position in life before you call somebody that you don’t even know a “nobody.” For some of you that are wondering why she’s commenting about Bush, even though he’s dumb but the most powerful man in the world, and calling her a “nobody” who should have no right to comment on a “somebody” then maybe you need to read the constitution. For you to say that she’s a “nobody” and that her opinion doesn’t matter because Bush is the most powerful man in the world, you are just contradicting yourself and pretty much saying that you shouldn’t comment on Bush either. Her right to speak about the president is just as much as her right as it is yours. So, once again, if you don’t know Charlotte Church, either find out who she is or stop judging somebody that you don’t even know.

The Glasgow Daily Record reports Welsh singer Charlotte Church called Pavarotti “a pig” and President George W. Bush “a proper weirdo” when she visited Scotland yesterday to promote ‘Crazy Chick’ on Clyde 1′s Bowie At Breakfast. Church performed for Presidents Bush and Clinton, but wasn’t impressed with the current leader of America. “Bill Clinton was really cool, but George Bush? ? No way,” she said. “Clinton was lovely, in tune with everyone else, but George Bush just hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing. He asked me what state Wales was in. I said: ‘It’s its own country next to England, actually Mr. Bush’. If he doesn’t know the rest of the countries in Europe, he could at least know what’s in his own country. I’m really worried about it. He’s a right weirdo.”

Charlotte Church has slammed Pope Benedict XVI after his criticism of the Harry Potter books, where he suggested they were “a subtle seduction, which has deeply unnoticed and direct effects in undermining the soul of Christianity.” The singer told The Sun, “I’m from a Catholic family. But I don’t like this new Pope. He even wants to ban Harry Potter! He says it is because of witchcraft and other bad stuff! If he bothered to sit down and read it he’d understand the morals of it.”

The Sun reports Charlotte Church is secretly plotting to turn her back on stuffy opera to have a serious go at becoming a pop star, looking at emulating Dido. “She desperately wants to be taken seriously in the rock world,” a pal said. “She is looking for songs which will appeal to the mainstream pop market and has been talking to writers about coming up with Dido-style tracks. She said she wants a big strong ballad that is atmospheric and dramatic – a bit like ‘Thank You’.” Read more.
