Katherine Jenkins- Serenade

Advantages: The best album yet, fanastic choice of songs
Disadvantages: Alubum cover picture does not do Katherine any justice.

To date this is my favourite Katherine Jenkins album. It has a great mx of both classical and modern songs on it. My favourite being (Quello Che Faro) Sara Per Te (Everything I Do) I Do It For You. This is the Bryan Adams song from the film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. It has rewritten in Italian and sound fab. Bryan Adams plays the guitar during the song. I also believe that he took the pictures for the album cover. Hopefully this album will win ...
...track list is as follows:- 1. (Quello Che Faro) Sara Per Te (Everything I Do) I Do It For You 2. Nella Fantasia 3. Chanson Boheme (from Bizet's Carmen) 4. Green Green Grass Of Home 5. O Mio Babbino Caro 6. Be My Love 7. The Flower Duet (featuring Kiri Te Kanawa) 8. Pachelbel's Canon 9. Granada 10. Lisa Lan 11. The Prayer 12. Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind 13. Il Canto 14. Ave Maria Definately worth buying for any katherine Jenkins!! ...

Review of Serenade - Katherine Jenkins

A pure heart is full of goodness: Calon lân

Advantages: Clear, charming and soulful voice
Disadvantages: She is young, talented, pretty and intellegant and I'm jealous

I received Second Nature, Katherine Jenkins’s second album, as a Christmas present. The past year has been very successful for this welsh songstress. Her debut album, Premiere reached number one in the UK classical charts in April of 2004 and stayed there for eight weeks. Second Nature was released on 18th October 2004 hit the number one slot in January of this year. Katherine Jenkins rose from relative obscurity to become one of British’s rising ...
...this is only Katherine Jenkins’ second album. She delivers each song as if she were a seasoned performer. She instills all the necessary emotion and warmth into each track. The mix of genres and styles ensure that there is something to please everyone. Although each of the songs is well known and has been covered by many before her, Katherine has adapted them (herself) imprinting them with her unmistakable stamp. I thoroughly recommend this album. ...

Review of Second Nature - Katherine Jenkins

Aled

Advantages: Relaxing/Calming Music
Disadvantages: Some tracks arent as good as others

...all songs being sung by Aled Jones and 2 or 3 sung by him when he was a boy (these tracks in my opinion are not as good and sort of 'ruin' the CD a bit). All the songs are good though there are some that are not just as good as the rest but they are still good. Some of my favourite songs include How great Thou art, Lead Kindly Light, I Believe, O Holy Night, For Once in my life and All through the night but all the other songs are equally as good ...
...Clear Air which in my opinion arent as good and really shouldnt be on the CD - though they are still of a good standard, they just arent as good as the others on the CD) The cover design is good and the CD is inexpensive - it only cost me £2.99 when i bought it from 101cd.com and with 17 tracks on the CD it works out at less than 18p per song which really isnt too bad. Its good relaxing/calming music and not expensive so it could even just be played ...

Review of Aled (Special Edition) - Aled Jones

A voice for a night for two ;)

Advantages: stylish performance, consistent through all tracks
Disadvantages: lots of covers (but that's what Michael does)

...It Is sounds like blues, it's just like milder version of SRV with piano instead of guitar, but it still sound consistent with the rest of the tracks, bringing freshness to this jazzy climate. Song For You is definitely a highlight of this CD with Chris Botti, an established trumpeter, playing nice, atmospheric passages through this track. Classic Frank Sinatra's interpretation of this tune needs no introduction, because I've Got You Under My ...
...his way with elegance and a touch. Stevie Wonder's You And I closes the album with gentle sounds of piano and orchestra. There are two bonus tracks Dream a Little Dream and Mack the Knife appearing on this CD. Well, brought together this CD is a very good choice for romantic night with your partner, as I said before, but if you want to listen to it in a car you might find youself driving off road sometimes. enjoy listening! ...

Review of It's Time - Michael Buble

Timeless Voice

Advantages: Outstanding singing, some excellent instrumental and vocal arrangements
Disadvantages: Bland production in places

Michael Bublé is a man who started his career ostensibly giving the impression he was stuck in the past but who has become a global superstar by cleverly mining the archives of popular standards and giving them a new, if not always modern, twist. He has, however, always ensured his albums contained at least one radio friendly, middle of the road pop song to help "sell" his albums, and you would have to have been living in a cave to be unfamiliar ...
...born in British Columbia, Canada, in 1975. His vocal talent became apparent in his teens but it wasn't until a chance meeting with David Foster, the legendary American music producer, at a wedding where he was performing, that he got his big break. Foster signed Bublé to his record label and the rest, as they say, is history. "Crazy Love" is Bublé's fourth studio album, and as ever, is made up mainly of cover versions given the Bublé makeover, with ...
