ABSTRACT
This chapter continues the consideration of the child star from a structuralist perspective, as begun in the previous chapter, by examining a range of stories which appeared in the press between 1998 and 2007 about the young Welsh soprano Charlotte ‘Voice of an Angel’ Church. This span of stories is particularly interesting because it begins with her ‘discovery’ at the age of twelve in 1998, through her immensely successful classical singing career, to her teenage rebellion which included a rejection of classical music and a falling out with her mother, her reinvention as a sexy siren in 2003, again as a pop star in 2005, and again as an expectant mother in 2007.
