London
(ANI):
Welsh
singer
Charlotte
Church
has
spoken
out
her
thoughts
about
Tony
Blair,
George
Bush,
the
Royal
Variety
Performance,
The
X
Factor
and
even
about
herself.
Church,
24,
who
has
hardly
mellowed
after
13
years
in
the
spotlight,
spoke
about
spending
time
with
her
two
children.
"I'm
a
bit
of
a
lazy
b***h
and
just
want
to
be
with
my
babies
most
of
the
time," the
Daily
Mail
quoted
her
as
saying.
Church
then
revealed
that
when
she
was
14
she
asked
Blair
why
she
had
to
pay
40
percent
tax
yet
couldn't
vote,
but
he
"just
changed
the
subject",
and
then
years
later
he
invited
her
to
dinner
at
Chequers
and
insisted
she
sit
next
to
him.
"Which
I
thought
was
a
bit
****ing
odd,"
she
said.
Church
also
dismissed
the
Royal
Variety
Performance
despite
appearing
four
times,
and
said
she
felt
sorry
for
the
Queen,
who
goes
every
other
year
but
"probably
doesn't
want
to
watch
scantily
clad
dancers
and
s****y
comedians".
And
she
said
she
had
met
the
Queen
"about
seven
times
and
she
never
remembers
me",
describing
her
as
"an
old
woman" who
"has
no
idea
what's
going
on".
Speaking
in
the
new
issue
of
Esquire
magazine,
Church
also
admonished
former
U.S.
President
George
W
Bush,
for
not
knowing
where
Wales
is,
after
she
sang
at
his
Presidential
inauguration
in
January
2001.
"I
sang
at
his
inauguration.
After,
he
asked
me
where
I
was
from.
When
I
said,
''Wales'
he
replied:
What
state
is
that
in?" she
said.
"I
was
thinking
Surely
you
should
at
least
know
it's
not
in
your
own
country,"
she
stated.
The
star
also
attacked
the
X
Factor,
claiming
the
show
does
not
have
"any
interest
in
true
craftsmanship
or
skill".
"That
show
doesn't
have
any
interest
in
true
craftsmanship
or
skill
-
it's
all
about
your
ass
and
hopefully
you
can
keep
half
a
tune," she
said.
"I'd
make
a
better
judge
than
the
others
on
that
show
because
I
know
more
about
the
technical
side
of
singing
than
even
Simon
Cowell.
But
he
wouldn't
be
able
to
control
me,
so
he'd
never
have
me
on,"
she
added.
