She and I are the same age. I first heard her sing this when we were both 14. I come back every year to hear it because no one else can compete with her stunning voice. No one else can sing this song like she can. The last “divine” could melt any soul. She’s phenomenal
No words. Mic Drop... As was said by previous commentors - no one at that age and point in time (2000) was at Charlotte's caliber, and even some adults! Unbelievable tone, control, vibrato, and chill that she sends through the spine in particular when she hits those high notes. What an instrument she had/has, and what a God-given gift.
So many people have covered this song. So many videos on UA-cam. I can honestly say this is the definitive version. Charlotte's voice is angelic. Perfect fit for this song. "Fall to you knees" indeed.
every vowel perfectly placed, every consonant perfectly articulated, every note perfectly pitched. an amazing presentation and lovely amazing beautiful rendition of my favorite carol. an angelic voice from a truly gifted singer. God Bless You, Charlotte.
There was no more beautiful voice in the world than Charlotte's at that age, and no more beautiful rendition of this wonderful carol. See also her duet with Placido Domingo of the same carol, when I think she hits that high note even more dramatically. I listen to this every Christmas over and over again. What an incredible talent and gorgeous young woman at that time.
As much as I love the work/art of singers with beautiful voices like Linda Ronsdtadt and Loreena Mckennitt, I feel like Charlotte Church's voice is perhaps the most beautiful I've ever heard in my entire 68 years! It's hard to say if any one of these is greater than the others. But perhaps this performance by Charlotte, with her wonderful voice, IS truly beauty itself!
As a born 'n bred Welshman I always considered Charlotte Church to be an enigma. This performance apprently predates the actual rendition by some years 6 which only proves where Ms. Church could have gone if her heart , mind and body were innit. Still nice to see/hear this after so long.
Ms. Church. I was born in Christmas Day. I'm 51 and heard MANY renditions of every Christmas song ever. If I could every have one wish, it would be the you sing this to me, JUST like this. When you hit the high note, I cry everytime. The power, feeling in that moment, I cannot hold back. My favorite song ever, and the first one I blare as loud as I can at 3:45 am( when I was born. Thank you
This girl truly could sing, voice of an angel no question, tone, pitch, clarity, hitting the high notes no voice deviation. She had it all, pity she threw it away, then again so much pressure put on her from such a young age.
I first learned to love this song when we (all the ninth graders of my town, multiple schools) sang it, as they did every Christmas, as a great massed choir. It probably was not very good, but it gave me goosebumps. Sure, it is a great song for grand choirs as well as for small groups. But what I really love now is to hear it sung by a solo artists. And not just any solo artist but one who brings magnificent, ringing clarity to it. I hear hardly anyone who can compare with the aptly named Miss Church. EDIT: Alas, I have concluded after a bit of Google research that Miss Church should keep her mouth shut when not singing.
This is so way beyond perfection! Way better than Jackie Evanco! Sad but true. Nobody can hit those high notes the way that Charlotte Church can. The skill this 13-14 year old has mastered is beyond compare!
Yes, high notes are perfect! But Jackie sound very good too, for me. Especially in young age. Also i like this performance: ua-cam.com/video/NqftZn1LAXk/v-deo.html
I wish she would sing again especially these religious songs. Now would be a perfect time for her come back as the world is in a spiritual revival 🙏🏼🕊️✝️ she could share her God given talent again. May God bless her and her family 🙏🏼❤️
This is my favorite Christmas song. So haunting and ethereal, and Charlotte does it real justice!!! Insanely gorgeous rendition. I nearly wept from this beauty. Merry Christmas everyone. The King is born!!!
The LORD GOD YHWH has commanded me to comment on Charlotte Church and her divinely inspired rendition of O' Holy Night. Her heavenly voice and lovely countenance are very angelic indeed. I feel she is one of GOD'S angels! It is most assuredly true that no other female singer has ever sung or performed this Sacred carol in the wonderful way she did at this time. It was truly phenomenal! So beautiful to behold! Her eyes and face were blissful as she looked heavenward. I believe that Charlotte did not become permanently vocally damaged as has been suggested. If there was a problem, it certainly was not caused through singing Sacred arias, hymns and carols. Having said this, her voice was far too divinely beautiful for worldly songs. It is worth considering too, that Charlotte, like other young musical prodigies, became adversely affected by the Godless worldly influences around her. She was simply too young to cope with it. Dear Charlotte, I know you are a mature woman now, someone who has been through many life experiences since then. It is true that you have been something of a success singing worldly cross over pop music songs. Having said that, your true calling is to sing Godly music. Please know you have Christian friends praying for you. We are praying that you hear the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The LORD GOD YHWH and the Lord Jesus Christ really do love you and want to help you, through repentance and Divine Grace, be what you truly are, that is a Holy daughter of GOD. May the LORD be with you that you may be the Godly woman HE sent you to be. May the LORD help you regain the special angelic qualities you displayed in your amazing performance of this Sacred Christmas carol. For it is true that your feminine voice whilst singing this carol was as sublime and transcendent as Michael Crawford's masculine voice when he too sang this heavenly hymn. GOD bless you Charlotte! Sent with Divine Love in Christ.😊❤🙏
She was 14 years old when this was recorded
No one and this I Xmas 2024 can sing like Charlotte Church. Gives me goosebumps and tears
Still gives me goosebumps in 2024 she has such a beyond beautiful voice ❤. Heard it many years ago at Christmas and never forgot it or her name 🎄
She and I are the same age. I first heard her sing this when we were both 14. I come back every year to hear it because no one else can compete with her stunning voice. No one else can sing this song like she can. The last “divine” could melt any soul. She’s phenomenal
Wow!
Great pair of tits hasnt she ?
Hilarious.
agree !!!
Agree, she sings with more soul than most people on youtube that sing this song.
Шарлотка черч самая красивая очаровательная обаятельная певица Орфей любой песни на все времена голос ангела пение ангела шарлотта
Finally. Someone has the nerve to go for that high note.
i knew this was coming and it still was jaw dropping
Check out Michaeal Crawfords version. He can sing so well.
David Phelp does as well!
High notes not important as she doesn’t make me she believes in what she’s singing. Just another singing exercise.
@@Sometime4781 You seem to be in the minority in this opinion.
No one sings O Holy Night like Charlotte Church. Simply beautiful.
This version is unique. Charlotte is simply incredible, timeless.
Blessings to you
Absolutely!
And to think she was only 14!! Truly beautiful vocals she has.
Agreed. Sublimely beautiful
Charlotte has such a beautiful and powerful voice, like that of an angel.
Most inspiring rendition of this Christmas hymn I have ever heard! God bless you Charlotte Church! "From the mouth of babes..."!
Try David Phelps's version
When she sang: ♫ _"Oh hear the angel voices"_ ♪, I thought to myself: "We are, right now!"
I would imagine that the angels sound like this. Such perfection and beauty.
Can’t believe this doesn’t have even one million views. Best performance of this song ever.
Agreed! She sings this song so sweetly and beautifully. It's gorgeous .
No words. Mic Drop... As was said by previous commentors - no one at that age and point in time (2000) was at Charlotte's caliber, and even some adults! Unbelievable tone, control, vibrato, and chill that she sends through the spine in particular when she hits those high notes. What an instrument she had/has, and what a God-given gift.
Absolutely and glory be to God. Jesus Christ is Lord.
One of the best renditions no doubt. Quite close to mahallia Jackson's delivery.
I agree
The highest notes of charlotte church not like any other can even be able to do let alone try to do like charlotte church can
Vibrato is so appealing
She definitely has the voice of an angel. I could listen to her all day.
December 2024 ❤❤❤
Without question my favorite Christmas song and favorite rendition of it. Charlotte Church’s voice truly gives an Angelic touch.
So many people have covered this song. So many videos on UA-cam. I can honestly say this is the definitive version. Charlotte's voice is angelic. Perfect fit for this song. "Fall to you knees" indeed.
I've heard Celine, Mariah and others sing this. But IMO this is the most authentic and beautiful.
Yeah true sung has it should be!
it's your opinion.
VitorSilva that's what I said!!
@@susanosky1
Interesting to you
Try Haley Reinhart too. Charlotte's is still the most angelic
A great singer makes you feel connected to the words
Happy xmasiThankssinger
Sung like a true angel. No one else can do this song justice.
Have a listen to Mahalia Jackson version.. It’s my favourite. I love Charlotte’s version too 😊
every vowel perfectly placed, every consonant perfectly articulated, every note perfectly pitched. an amazing presentation and lovely amazing beautiful rendition of my favorite carol. an angelic voice from a truly gifted singer. God Bless You, Charlotte.
She was in Guinness Book of World Records.
I have been on a mission to find the most beautiful version of O Holy Night. My search ends here. Angelic, reverent, utterly perfect.
THE BEST YET EVER WHICH CHARLOTTE CHURCH ABLE TO SHOW WHAT SHE REALLY CAN DO WITH THE SONG
i searched every artist to find the best version....this is the one. I'm blown away...
Angels, you don't see or hear them these days too often. Sent by God just for our poor souls as a reminder: God is all!
I would like this sweet Angel to sing me out of this sad world.
🙏
Yeah I love the song o holy night sung by charlotte church
Most beautiful hypnotizing, mesmerizing voice on this planet, simply transcending
Best performance of this piece ever. Truly the voice of an angel that will stand the test of time.
L Blanton absolutely!
100% best ever version
I do think Celine Dion’s performance in 1998 is better. But this is still very good.
A profoundly moving performance by Charlotte. Also beautiful orchestral backing and impressive photography.
too bad she only sang 2 verses.
I'm spoiled for her voice and this song, Oh Holy Night
We love You Jesus. How awesome you are. I love You, love You.
"Fall on your knees"... and the goosebumps start...!!!!! This is what happens when you believe. This is the voice of a believer, folks...
I agree 💕
It gets me too.
What?
Absolutely... those few words hit me like a sledgehammer.. and I'm not even religious 😊
Every time!
Charlotte Church has an Angelic Voice. An Amazing singer and Beautiful. She makes the Angels sing when she performs.
There was no more beautiful voice in the world than Charlotte's at that age, and no more beautiful rendition of this wonderful carol. See also her duet with Placido Domingo of the same carol, when I think she hits that high note even more dramatically. I listen to this every Christmas over and over again.

try Amira now
Agreed, she was magical at this age.
As much as I love the work/art of singers with beautiful voices like Linda Ronsdtadt and Loreena Mckennitt, I feel like Charlotte Church's voice is perhaps the most beautiful I've ever heard in my entire 68 years! It's hard to say if any one of these is greater than the others. But perhaps this performance by Charlotte, with her wonderful voice, IS truly beauty itself!
She is a soprano and must be hitting those high notes a F7 easily.
she should have gotten a national award for this presentation
As a born 'n bred Welshman I always considered Charlotte Church to be an enigma. This performance apprently predates the actual rendition by some years 6 which only proves where Ms. Church could have gone if her heart , mind and body were innit. Still nice to see/hear this after so long.
Sad she doesn’t sing these anymore! We need it more than ever in this crazy world!
She's opened a retreat center. Check it out!
She does just not in big venues
Ms. Church. I was born in Christmas Day. I'm 51 and heard MANY renditions of every Christmas song ever. If I could every have one wish, it would be the you sing this to me, JUST like this. When you hit the high note, I cry everytime. The power, feeling in that moment, I cannot hold back. My favorite song ever, and the first one I blare as loud as I can at 3:45 am( when I was born.

Happy birthday 🎉
No one for me sings it like her she makes me cry everytine I hear song this voice of a pure angel thankyou Charlotte for having such a big talent xxx
Charlotte church should be a permanent member of Celtic woman for how truly beautiful her voice is
Without a doubt!
Converts should listen to this✌️
I’m speechless at the power and beauty of Charlottes voice. Magnificent a joy to behold ❤
Há uns dez anos tenho ouvido, ano após ano, esse anjo de Deus, lindíssimo, cantar pra Ele.
Only one I found to actually sing this song in the correct register..it's simply beautiful no other version can compare
That is not true, at all. Stop it.
Ann Humphrey absolutely correct 💯%
And not a single note embellished. So hard to find quality like this.
@@Tetelestai17I'm with you, and I am not sure that @annhumphrey5232 knows the musical meaning of "register."
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! One of my favorite Christmas songs. I’ve never heard it sung better. PERFECTION!!!
Beautifully done... I could listen to her sing this song over and over......
You kidding? I could listen to her sing my phone bill over and over. 😆👍
Commander exactly
I’ve still got this on a Cassette, it sounds rubbish s it’s good to hear her as it should be
Me too!!!
@@zombiet.5232 fantastic lyrics done
어렸을적 TV에서 보던 모습을 유튭으로 볼수 있어서 감사합니다.
I have never heard a more beautiful voice in my entire life
Marvellous. Not even the best male singers can match this performance.
A masterpiece.
Angelical! Thank you so very much! Happy Holy Days!
何年たっても素晴らしい歌声は、昔と変わらない懐かしい癒された気持ちを呼び起こしてくれる、涙が心の奥からこみあげてくる天使の歌声、なんと素晴らしい声なんでしょう。シャーロットチャーチ！！！！！！！。
This girl truly could sing, voice of an angel no question, tone, pitch, clarity, hitting the high notes no voice deviation. She had it all, pity she threw it away, then again so much pressure put on her from such a young age.
Gareth she didn't throw it away she got away 😂she lives ,she's happy, she breaths ,she sings an d she's free from crap❤❤❤❤
one word. stunning.
The way charlotte church do it is simply unmatched by any other classical musicians can even hope to do what she does she's simply an angel
The voice of a Christmas Angel.
Is Charlotte seriously the closest to what an angel sounds like on Earth
Yes.
Actually, CC _is_ an angel. As a scientist, I have a scientific proof of that.
Согласна со всем коментариями!!!
Love this song Jesus came to die for us the night he was born Holy holy night

What a wonderful environment
She is so beautiful and sings like an angel 😇
My friend just showed me this, she has the voice of an angel.
And still the best rendition EVER.
I did hear "the angel's voices" tonight.
OH LIGHT OF THE WORLD. XOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
4:01 That was beautiful.
🎅🫶🏻👼🎄
Merry Christmas!
That was the most beautiful crescendo I have ever heard!
I love it!!!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤ Meaningful, Emotional, Breathless! A blessed song. Jesus Christ King of Kings.
It is the most powerful rendition. Goosebumps and tears.
This is so way beyond perfection! Way better than Jackie Evanco! Sad but true. Nobody can hit those high notes the way that Charlotte Church can. The skill this 13-14 year old has mastered is beyond compare!
Agreed, the pitch is pleasing to the ear, some opera singers sound quite harsh when hitting those high notes but not Charlotte
Yes, high notes are perfect! But Jackie sound very good too, for me. Especially in young age. Also i like this performance: ua-cam.com/video/NqftZn1LAXk/v-deo.html
@@stephenmccarthy102 yep)
I heard never such beautiful singing in my life
truly unworldly isn't it ??
Totally spellbound the entire song , incredible voice ❤
Dear Lord Ms. Church, I cannot get through this song without tearing up. Splendid!
I can not listen to her song without tears and deep emotion
Her singing voice Ìs out of this world
Best version ever❤
I think you are the only person I have ever heard sing this song that counted it correctly. beautifully done, I have always loved your voice. Lovely
What must it have been like to find that you have this child in your music class. The teacher must have fallen off their chair!😉🇨🇦
Her pitch and vibrato are Amazing 😊
Beautiful. Stunning.
its the nearest thing too perfection you will ever get
I wish she would sing again especially these religious songs. Now would be a perfect time for her come back as the world is in a spiritual revival 🙏🏼🕊️✝️ she could share her God given talent again. May God bless her and her family 🙏🏼❤️

Well... that was from the Heart. Thank you.
I wished she stayed singing like this, no one sung better and that includes the 3 tenors
I love her voice so much. I hope to perform like her someday
a voice like an angel
I could listen to this version over & over again. She has an amazing voice with excellent control. I also love her version of Pie Jesu.
CHARLOTTE CHURCH, Voice, Charlotte Church, Amazing, Charlotte Church, child voice of angels, and as an adult. Amazing Angel. ❤
Breathtaking Beautiful.
I just heard the angels voices
Yup.
James Duffy, indeed!
One, in particular.
Such a stunningly sweet voice.
Stunningly magical 🎵🎶🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
At the time, she was young, and now she would even sing it far better. Many blessings, and as you keep it up.
Wow, this is truly special.
Thank you such a GREAT JOB. I can listen to you all night.
The sheer emotional punch of this version - absolutely wonderful 💖
There's everybody else. And then there's this girl. And her bravery. . .. And wisdom.... Much needed in such a world.
I don't understand. Is she a great singer? Oh yes, no doubt. But how does that make her brave and wise? Especially at 14.
Timing is everything. Very Merry Christmas to You
