Katherine Jenkins apparently has already begun her vocal studies with Placido Domingo! In fact, the legendary tenor has gone so far as to lend the Welsh songbird his own personal orchestra parts for “Nessun dorma!”Â

Here honey I need to put something in your throat to stop that tremolo!
A load of bollocks.
Creepy.
GOD, what an idiot!!!
nice key …
Gianni, she already sings as though she has got something in her throat. She is in the great British tradition of tight-voiced amateur singers of oratorio. (Vicar John would have a field day.)
Puccini would have known what to do with her – from every direction.
I am ashamed to live in Britain when I think there are legions of ‘music-lovers’ in the country who think this is opera. I know the guy who gave her her first contract. His trousers were doing the thinking.
The only woman I want to hear singing Nessun Dorma is Aretha Franklyn. It was insane but completely committed. Now that is a diva. This clip is just sad. It is the legacy of the Three Tenors and the current desperation to make opera “popular” and “relevant.” Oh well, back to my Destinn 78′s.
Thackeray – I also know one of the guys who gave her the first contract, and I think it may be the record company demand to make a profit that was doing the talking. His trousers don’t always do the talking when it comes to women…
Grimgerde, I think we know different Universalites, then. And I still don’t understand why ANYONE, except the most cloth-eared, would want to listen to that woman, but I have never really had the magic touch with predicting what music would sell and what wouldn’t. Still, she has good boobs (not natural, apparently).
And yes, Perfidia, Aretha’s ‘Nessun dorma’ is gobsmacking. Completely wrong, but the work of a genius!
This is actually the fist time I have ever heard Katherine Jenkins, and I am shocked. I hadn’t expected anything good, but I certainly wasn’t prepared for it being quite that awful. I had assumed a rather vapid, limited voice, but I had also assumed she sort of knew what she was doing with what she had. Alas no. She must be stopped! People actually think she is an opera singer! You’d think somebody at Montblanc would have a clue and realise they are getting the opposite effect from the one they surely desire (which one assumes is that association with her makes them classy).
