stepping out with Katherine Jenkins

[quizzywig]

A beautiful operatic voice but to me, not really suited to the songs she's singing in the show. Lovely dresses though.

[DTCwordfan]

The "Outoftones" are on next.

[shoota]

Turn the sound off and just watch KJ....

[quizzywig]

You're right, headwreck. Nothing like these blokes at all. Now she's singing carols - spoiling them more like.

[lardhelmet]

Dont think Flavia's gone any competition with her Argentine tango. And as for the simpering MC

[flump1]

I am the only one by the sound of it that enjoyed that show with Katherine and guests. Her singing different genres shows how versatile she is . I thought the MC Mark Benson a bit OTT , however most enjoyable .

[lardhelmet]

Bet she was miffed she only came 2nd in Dancin' with the Stars

[shoota]

On the whole I'm with you Flump.
Opera it ain't, could have done without the unfunny funnyman, 75% of Il Divo can't sing, bit too much vibrato in places but overall enjoyable.

[Ann]

I agree with flump - we loved the show and the choice of guests. The only thing that spoilt it was the ridiculous compere who thought his own jokes were hilarious - didn't need him, but typical ITV I suppose!

[echokilo]

Despite the fact that I don't rate her voice at all (not that it's bad just not my cup of char) I thought it was an entertaining, inoffensive hour or so of Sunday night telly ........... agree it should have been nearer Christmas. I agree she murdered the Carols, Il Divo were superb, the compare needs to stick to his sit-coms, and I didn't get why the audience appeared to be in costume (answers on a postcard?) but I thought she was quite an accomplished dancer and the dresses were stunning.

[princerupe74]

I won't hear a word against Andre Rieu but Katherine Jenkins leaves me cold. I dont find anything enjoyable about her nasal singing and I find her personality insincere and schmalty. Beautiful, wealthy, internationally famous, yet still single....interesting.

[LoftyLottie]

Must admit to not liking Katherine's voice or the sort of show it promised to be - light operatic and show songs, etc. Elaine Paige on a Sunday sort of stuff. And yes it is too early to even think about Christmas in my opinion
;o(

[nannybooby]

She's a pain in the neck!

[LoftyLottie]

Very affected in my opinion. Very pretty though I have to admit.

[carrust]

According to Bryn Terfyl she ain't good enough to do opera. She's got a good voice but sings sh1te songs....

[quizzywig]

How could she let Gethin go?

[LoftyLottie]

LOL Quizzy. He is rather scrumptious! To good for her.

[ladybirder]

I think Gethin's lovely but she's far more ambitious than him and seems to like the celeb lifestyle. She is naturally very pretty but is now over-styled and over made-up and has made herself look artificial. Shame.
As an opera lover, I don't think she's got the voice or the staying power or the dedication to take on a full length opera, certainly not in a leading role. I agree with Bryn Terfyl, she just isn't good enough and he should know, he's brilliant.
I expect there is an audience for what she's doing now so she might as well keep on doing it.
As for Andre Rieu - yuck for the masses - saccharine by the bucketful.

[Matheous-2]

Without having yet looked at any comments on this- I have to say, such is her beauty and vocal talent. I do find her vocal 'attack' and emphasis on the vowel part of almost every lyrical word irritating. To say nothing of a lack of feeling....I do find her quite compelling to watch and on a plus, I did enjoy the humour of her guest pianist despite not catching his name.....Would love to see him again!

[LoftyLottie]

I think you have summed up what I think of her voice "Lack of Feeling" And she is almost cartoon like in her appearance. All too contrived. But each to their own.
