I caught an interview with Andrews on NBC this morning. She was very
interesting and charming as usual. The thing which grabbed my attention
were some brief clips and sound cuttings of her at ages 12 -15 ish.
>From what I was able to tell in the brief excerpts she was able to
completely bring down the house (vocally) at age 12 with an incredible
range and clean, easy production. (Especially see the age 12
performance on stage with Danny Kaye. She sang "God Save the Queen" for
a Crown performance in London.)
When I compare her technique and sound at age 12 with that of Charlotte
Church now it makes me believe that Andrews probably had better
training. It certainly did not make me uncomfortable to watch or listen
to her.

Anyone else see this?
