"Crazy Chick" will be Charlotte Church's forthcoming pop single out June 20 in the UK. It will be interesting to hear Charlotte's new sound and see if she can successfully venture into mainstream territory.
The album "Tissues and Issues" will be out July 4.

I don't catch up with her in the tabloids, but apparently she's growing up, has a bad-ass boyfriend who spends her money, and doing some crazy shit. Nu Charlotte!  |

LMAO Honestly though has she learned anything from Leann Rimes. She shouldn't try to be somthing that she is not. Trust me, the only thing worst then singing like Ashlee Simpson & Paris Hilton is wanting to sing like them. |

I think she will be great. She did a song from Diane Warren called "Would I Know" a while back and it was awesome. I hope this will be just as good!

I don't know what I think of "Crazy Chick".. I was expecting something completely different. It's not the slick RnB or rock/pop that's common on the radio. It's really quite jazzy... and poppy. I don't know how this song will find an audience in the US. www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/?hp_chart_textSkip to 16:25:00 to listen. |

It's growing like a footlong! Very motown-y! This summer's anthem!! Go Charlotte!
"I think I'm crazy, think I'm stupid, must have lost my mind!"
"I just can't help myself, I need professional help!"
WOW... what a rawsome jamster! Catchy, innit? I'm chuffed. Makes me wanna shake my ass with lots of class (that's right!) in my computer chair.

It sounds like she is a one-woman Girls Aloud to me.

It's like teenage pop from the 90's. She might have been succesful if she had a decent song. WTF is this she's come out with?!?!

I'm well aware of Charlotte Church; her doing opera wasn't for me, though her dance collaboration with Jurgen Vries for the "The Opera Song" in 2003 was great. But she doesn't sound like an opera singer in "Crazy Chick"; this song sounds - to me, and a few others I've spoken to - like it could easily have been done by Girls Aloud, and that's what I meant when she sounds like a "one woman Girls Aloud". |

Charlotte's binge bravado
June 22, 2005 - 12:40PM
Nineteen-year-old diva Charlotte Church is under fire for admitting she likes to "go out on the lash".
Since her 18th birthday gave her access to her multi-million dollar fortune, she has regularly been pictured tottering unsteadily from nightclubs, bleary-eyed and dishevelled.
But now the singer has revealed the full extent of her binge-drinking in a candid interview. And it makes chilling reading for those who fear Britain's young women are increasingly abusing alcohol.
For her, an average night out involves downing her favourite "Cheeky Vimto" cocktail - a double port mixed with a sugary vodka-based alcopop, so named because it tastes like Vimto chewy bars - before leaving her house, then topping it up with another 10 double vodkas.
She regaled readers of Heat magazine with tales of her drinking prowess - and penchant for slamming down alcohol for the sole purpose of getting utterly drunk - as her boyfriend, Gavin Henson, the rugby-playing half of Wales's "golden couple", demonstrated his sporting prowess by slamming down two tries for the Lions in New Zealand.
Asked what she drinks during an "average night on the lash", Church said: "I can sink 'em.
"If I'm home, I'll start with a Cheeky Vimto - double port and a bottle of WKD Blue in the same glass. It tastes just like Vimto or Ribena. They're lethal," she added. "Once I'm out, I'll have about 10 double vodkas. Then I'm pretty much KO'ed.
"But if I'm in London, the club owners give me loads of bottles of free champagne. I hate champagne. I still drink it though."
Church, who found fame aged 11 as a classical singer and who recently released a pop album, has striven to shake off her "Voice of an Angel" image for something more raunchy.
Her alcohol-fuelled nights out with her pals - mainly girlfriends from the working-class suburb of Cardiff where she grew up - often result in pictures of them grinning drunkenly all over the tabloid newspapers. She celebrated her 19th birthday in February with a 72-hour bender.
But she also disclosed that she likes to go out on the town with her mother, Maria, a classical guitarist and housing officer, and her aunt because they, too, are "party animals".
Yet, she professes not to enjoy the taste. "I don't actually like alcohol," she said. "If I'm having a meal, I'll have lemonade.
"The only time I drink is to get pissed and dance like a crazy woman."
The interview is bound to dismay campaigners who claim that drinks manufacturers are targeting teenage girls with sugary alcopops that disguise the high volume of alcohol.
Heavy drinking by role models such as Church and other personalities dubbed "ladettes" is also being blamed for an increase in alcohol consumption, particularly among 16- to 24-year-olds who are the most prone to binge drinking.
Government guidelines recommend a woman drink a maximum of 21 alcohol units a week. But Church appears to consume at least that in one night alone.
A spokesman for Alcohol Concern said: "We do not comment on individual cases but drinking 10 double vodkas is a large amount. If people are regularly drinking that amount of alcohol they increase their risk of harming their health.
"Drinking to get drunk is binge-drinking. Over 10 units and the chances are you are going to be intoxicated. Women drinking this much are putting themselves at risk. Beside the short-term risk of accidents or becoming involved in violent incidents, there are long-term risks such as liver cirrhosis."
Church has just returned from a three-day trip to see Henson, 23, who was not selected for the first Test against the All Blacks on Saturday, but who may have made Lions coach Clive Woodward regret his decision with his two tries in the 26-16 victory over Southland yesterday.
He recently spoke of his relationship with the singer, and hit back at criticis who worried that going out with her would affect his playing career.
"I'm not a heavy drinker and half the time when I go out I don't even drink," he said in an interview last month.
The couple have headed Wales's celebrity A-list since getting together, although Church had some complaints about his trademark spiky hair.
"It's not so much hard as slimy. I wake up in the morning and my hair's so greasy because of all his wax that I have to wash it every day," she said.

Heyyy I like this song! :)
As for her comments on drinking, I do the same. Why else would you drink that much when you go out? Hardly anyone drinks more than one drink because they like the taste - the whole purpose of alcohol is that it affects your senses.
