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

Welsh Opera Diva!

Advantages: Great Collection Of Music
Disadvantages: n/a

Katherine Jenkins has an amazing voice. She is increasingly becoming one of the worlds favourite opera stars. Whilst singing in a concert in germany, there was suddenly a massive crashing noise, the audience began to duck with the thought of gunfire, but to there suprise the noise was coming from the roof, whilst singing the last note of o holy night ( a masterpiece on the album) she had shattered part of the chandelier and it had fallen to the ground ...

Review of Second Nature - Katherine Jenkins

I just haven't met him yet!!

Advantages: Some of his own songs, some classics
Disadvantages: None

...Georgia On My Mind and Crazy Love to name but a few. In my opinion he does a good job with each song, putting his own spin on it but still keeping the same essence of each song which I like. The rest of the album is as follows: "Cry Me a River" "All of Me" "Georgia on My Mind" "Crazy Love" "Haven't Met You Yet" "All I Do Is Dream of You" "Hold On" "Heartache Tonight" "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" "Baby (You've Got What It Takes)" "At This ...

Review of Crazy Love - Michael Buble

Swinging and Swaying Into The Spotlight

Advantages: A superb mix of tracks on an accomplished debut album
Disadvantages: One or two weaker links.

...has been the Canadian crooner Michael Bublé. THE SINGER & ALBUM Grammy award-winning Michael Bublé burst on to the scene with his eponymous debut in 2003, which features a number of well-known covers spanning several decades of popular music. It was received extremely well by both the paying public and music critics alike, winning him the honour of Best New Talent at Canada’s 2004 Juno Awards (think the equivalent of the Brits). Along with ...
...one of my favourite George Michael songs, “Kissing A Fool”, and the Van Morrison classic “Moondance”. I bought the album on the back of hearing his rendition of “Come Fly With Me” and when I examined the track listing, I suspected he may have bitten off more than he could chew. It’s one thing to cover a Peggy Lee classic, which, perhaps a younger audience would not have heard so much – but another thing entirely to take on a consummate showman like ...

Review of Michael Buble [ECD] - Michael Buble

The most wonderful album

Advantages: Beautiful tracklist, lovely voice
Disadvantages: None

...is a traditional hymn that Camilla performs wonderfully, recently you may have also heard Faryl Smith singing this on her sophmore album (as well as her debut) Wonderland and while both versions are beautiful, I found Camilla’s more pleasing. It could be because I’m more of a Camilla fan to be honest, but it is…pretty darn amazing! I Can’t Help Falling In Love is a song I’d only heard once before, I’d heard Mark Owen sing it on youtube and really ...
...lovely. Most people will know Camilla for this track which is good because it shows her talents very well. I had no idea what to expect with Rain, I’d never heard of it before and sadly google didn’t help me much so I listened with great curiosity. I LOVED it. It’s so bright and joyful, perfect to listen to in the springtime I think. It just conjures up lovely imagery, I can see a lovely garden and fairies, it would be perfect for a family movie ...
