Where have all the good girls gone?
Jewish World Review ^ | 9/27/2006 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 09/27/2006 5:54:26 AM PDT by Mike Bates

Several years ago, I wrote a column praising a sweet and talented Welsh girl named Charlotte Church. A singer of arias and sacred songs, she possessed an uncommon sense of modesty and decorum in the skin-baring age of Britney Spears. Charlotte had the face and voice of an angel. Her signature piece was "Pie Jesu" (Blessed Jesus). Her favorite keepsake was a rosary blessed by the pope.

Or so she said at the time. Now, alas, the once-charming Charlotte is the new face of skankdom. And you won't believe what she's saying about the pope.

The 20-year-old entertainer has rebelled against the wholesome image that brought her fame, fortune and worldwide respect as a rare role model for young girls. She has traded in "Pie Jesu" for "Crazy Chick" — a lousy pop anthem even Ashlee Simpson wouldn't be caught performing. Charlotte's gone from pure-hearted to pure crap. These days, she drinks, she smokes, she curses, she fights, she parties, and she tries very, very hard to shock and offend — like a trashier Lindsay Lohan, only with better pipes.

Charlotte has a new talk show in England, where she plays a profanity-spewing hostess who is part Rosie O'Donnell, part Keith Olbermann (she has bashed President Bush as "clueless" and a "twat") and completely unhinged. The pilot episode featured Charlotte calling Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi, dressing as a nun and pretending to hallucinate while eating communion wafers imprinted with smiley faces (symbolizing the drug Ecstasy). The Catholic News Service reported last month that the pilot also showed Church smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary to reveal a can of fortified wine. To top off her anti-Catholic snit, she stuck chewing gum on a statue of the child Jesus.

"I lack the self-confidence to ask a girl out. It's just too frightening."

Dude, come on. You have to do something about that.

It's a trend folks --- from Christina Aguillera to Britney Spears to whoever used to be a good girl --- TRASH SELLS.

And a quite monotonous, predictable trend at that. These girls all have a huge moneymaking machine behind them. When they're young, innocence sells. As soon as they reach legal age, the transformation is quick: "I'm not so innocent." Slutty sells even better.

I really don't know why anyone would be surprised or disappointed. All planned, coordinated, and choreographed.

I think you're misunderstanding me. She was a good classical music singer. She decided to ditch it for becoming a pop singer. To me, that's perfectly idiotic and treasonous.

Yes, I take classical music seriously.

The girl is not a tramp. She was likely raised to believe. Then she got a taste of money. Then she thought she had to slum to make money, take the low road.

This is not badness, just real confusion about where the important things in life are.

Now she must find out the hard way, through her own suffering and sin.

Such is freedom of choice, a thing all humans have been both blessed and cursed by.

Perhaps one morning she will wake up. look in the mirror, fret over her chlamydia and genital warts, wonder why she can't get preggers, and take an overdose of barbiturates.

Or she will ask for forgiveness and experience spiritual growth.

Sometimes it sucks to be human, but all of us know G_D is waiting, and cheering for the home team.

"The girl is not a tramp."

Tramp is as tramp does. I hope she gets pointed in the right direction again, but it cannot be denied that her recent conduct is deplorable.

Breaks my heart...

I'm not sure how or where to meet someone! Any suggestions? If you don't hang out at bars, and you don't have mutual friends, it just might be impossible!

Church, volunteer work, classes. Tell all your friends you are on the market.

Charlotte Church did have a decent voice when she was younger, but by her 4th album she had taken on repertoire that was far too advanced for her voice at the time. From than on, she began singing things that were too difficult and pretty much ruined a voice that had potential with bad technique/training. As a singer with classical training, I can speak with some authority on this. I didn't know till I came across this thread what level she'd sunk to though. It's a shame.

As far as where all the good girls have gone, there are still a few of us left out there, but we're usually asking where all the good guys have gone.
