Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Angel Monica may have that musical Irish lilt to her speaking voice, but her singing voice is anything but heavenly. So when the voice she's always longed to sing praises to God with turns out to belong to an ungrateful teenager in 'Voice of an Angel,' Monica's resentment rages out of control. She abandons her assignment only to end up in a karaoke bar and then handcuffs. In a bit of stunt casting, the sullen, gum-snapping girl is played by the operatic star Charlotte Church and the boys of 'N Sync appear in cameo roles as street singers. The second episode, 'Legacy,' follows a more solemn track with an alum-made-good (Jere Burns) who bullies his son into attending his alma mater and joining the same fraternity. When a pledging rite goes awry, one of the son's roommates falls into a coma and the fraternity president demands cooperation in a cover-up. This thought-provoking episode examines the ethical responsibilities of a bystander. Its focus on young people enhances its value as a starting-off point for discussions on the subject with tweens or young teens. However, the roommate's eventual death may make the episode too strong for the very young. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating:  - Voice Of An Angel/Legacy
I would definitely recommend these tapes to anyone with teenagers in the house. I'm 16 myself, and I loved these episodes. They reach to the younger generation, like myself, out there. A definite must have!
Rating:  - A Suedo Angel
I must agree with the many here who conclude that Charlotte Church cannot act. Her inclusion here seems more a charity case or an accomodation to someone in the industry. However, I will disagree with those who feel her inclusion in this program is justified based on her "angelic" conduct. Based on my many years of following her, nothing could be further from the truth...
Roma Downey saves this show with some brilliant individual acting including being intoxicated. This bit of brilliance ... Read More
Rating: - Great Show.....needs to be on DVD!!
I regularly watch this program and find that it always has an important message and is always uplifting. The only problem right now is that it is not on DVD. This would be a great collectable DVD...hopefully they will release it by season!!
Rating:  - I considered factors other than acting
As a parent searching for role models for my young children, I met Charlotte Church in many other forms before ever seeing this episode. I have seen Charlotte in concert. I have read her articles and interviews, I have participated in her numerous charities. charlotte has donated entire fortunes to good causes such as a childrens hospital in Whales. Charlotte is a charming and caring young lady with a sense of community, and quite a bit of talent. I also watched this episode of Touched By An Angel. ... Read More
Rating:  - Leave This Show to the Angels
Charlotte Church may have a voice like an angel, but she certainly doesn't act like one. If fact, she certainly can't act at all. It probably sounded like a clever match, having the girl with "The Voice of an Angel" play a part on the "Touched by an Angel" TV show. However, Charlotte Church comes across like someone who just walked in off of the street and is reading lines from a board. I was actually more impressed by the group N'Sync than with Charlotte. This episode is O.K. but certainly not good ... Read More
