1.0 out of 5 stars A Fallen Angel, January 29, 2002

By

This review is from: Touched by an Angel - Back to School: Lessons From An Angel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For someone who was the most hyped person ever to come out of the U.K., Charlotte Church's performance here had to be one of the worst ever on the small screen. She looked frightened all of the time and looked as if she were reading her lines from a prompter. According to one TV columinst, when she had to be corrected on the screen by Della Reese, that was not in the script but was left there due to time constraints and made to appear to be part of the show. Fortunately, for this episode, they limited Charlotte's screen time to about 1/4 of the show.
The episode itself is not too bad and was well written. In any case, this may be the only chance you will ever get to see Charlotte Church on any screen. After failing the screen test for Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie, she is reported to be limiting her future entertainment activity to singing. For curiosity seekers only.

1.0 out of 5 stars Leave This Show to the Angels, February 1, 2002

By 

Cary Zellwright (Cleveland, Ohio U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Touched by an Angel - Back to School: Lessons From An Angel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Charlotte Church may have a voice like an angel, but she certainly doesn't act like one. If fact, she certainly can't act at all. It probably sounded like a clever match, having the girl with "The Voice of an Angel" play a part on the "Touched by an Angel" TV show. However, Charlotte Church comes across like someone who just walked in off of the street and is reading lines from a board. I was actually more impressed by the group N'Sync than with Charlotte. This episode is O.K. but certainly not good enough to warrant buying a video of it. Roma Downey does a real good job here. Charlotte Church does sing a bit here, but not enough to make it worth purchasing this video. My recommendation is that they should leave acting to actors and singing to singers. The regular angels do fine in this series, but Charlotte Church was simply not made to act.

1.0 out of 5 stars 2 Different shows, January 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Touched by an Angel - Back to School: Lessons From An Angel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a big fan of Touched by an Angel. However, this episode can be divded up into two separate programs. The first starring Roma Downey was a 5-star episode. Roma's encounter trying to be a singing star along with her experience in jail, make this worth watching. The second was the part with Charlotte Church, who IMHO is the worst excuse for an actress ever to blaze her way on to the boob tube. If you can overlook this young girl's attempt at acting, you may find the entire episode to be enjoyable. I made this review 1-star because the episode is being sold by Amazon as a Charlotte Church Video. However, it may be better left as a Charlotte Church Video than a Touched by an Angel Video. Could have been a TBAA classic without CC.
