I met Katherine back in 2017 at the London coliseum theatre with Alfie boe she's absolutely the nicest lady I've met she said if I came back after the show she would have a photo with me and we did
Ahh... yes, she's gorgeous to look at. And she has a voice to melt for. And now with DWTS she's proven herself to be "the best celeb dancer ever" on that show per the judges and folks like me. And above all, she's smart and she has such a quick witty mind and humor. Several of her responses to Piers cheeky questions just cracked me up. And even above all that she has a warm gentle soul loaded with integrity. What a woman!
You are absolutely right. and the St Cecilia award is a rather unremarkable award for church choir singers, they give out about a hundred of these and the St Nicholas award for men every year. Nothing to go crazy about, a lot of my friends have them.
I think Katherine Jenkins is lovely. She seems like a lovely person, yes she is very pretty, and she has a gorgeous voice. I think the people running her down on here are just jealous....
I can't believe how brutal Piers Morgan is. I know what Katherine means (assuming we have the same understanding): I'm a writer and want to be a professional fantasy writer and being a best seller would be amazing, but for people loving my stories and appreciating my work, not for the riches it would bring me and my family. Yes, it's lovely to have plenty of money, but that's the bonus. Those who do it for the money aren't as successful because their heart isn't properly in the art.
That's interesting what she said about peoples reaction to her saying she was studying to be an opera singer. I tell people I'm studying to be an opera singer and they are impressed and intrigued.
You are right, not worth arguing with them. BTW, I read - not sure if true - that someone asked Netrebko in the interview about KJ, she AN replied "ask me about something serious".
I can actually prove that she said those words. It's in her interview outlined in a Daily Mail article from 20 September 2009 (article-1214150). Also, in this video she says she was telling at the party she was "studying opera" when her major wasn't opera.
I trust you on that, and yes, you are right by saying that opera singers are fat and ugly she is justifying why she isn't one. Other crossover singers - Brighman, Groban - have always been very open about not being opera singers (Brightman laughed and said "I'd need twice the voice I have", Groban said he admired very talented men and women who sing in opera but he isn't one of them), KJ insults real opera singers. Her fans don't understand that this is why she attracts such a negative reaction.
Very sharp Lady who can string many sentences together unlike some of so called female artists of today. Her class shows in these interviews. Beautiful lady with a charming voice. Two Brits awards says a lot to these Opera snobs/slobs.Crawl back into your snake holes.
Actually, a "classical singer" is someone who has a voice and training similar to an opera singer (though the voice may or may not be a little smaller, or it may be as large) but who specializes in art song - this is different from opera, but very difficult in its own as it requires a very nuanced interpretation, great understanding of composer's style, and yes, art song recitals aren't amplified. Also, KJ constantly puts down opera singers, she calls them "fat and ugly".
Are you saying she's never said that opera singers were fat and ugly? Are you denying she said this: "Why do all opera singers need to be fat and ugly? It's not my fault that I'm beautiful. That shouldn't stop me from being hired" If this isn't implying that she isn't getting jobs in opera because she is beautiful, I don't know what is. How about this: "People expect a classical singer to be big and fat with Wagnerian horns on her head. Sorry, that's not me."
I don't care what anybody thinks. I think this is one of the most MAGNIFICENT women that God ever put on this planet!! I consider MY life enriched by hearing her sing, hearing her talk and seeing he beauty.
She may not have called herself an opera singer, but in her interviews she perpetuated the myth of opera singers being fat and ugly, she also implied that the reason she didn't have a career in opera is because she is beautiful and slim and opera singers are fat and ugly. She also claimed she studied opera when her actual degree was in teaching of music - an entirely different major.
If Kaff doesn't call herself an opera singer, 1) why doesn't she correct the writers and TV shows who call her one, and b) why doesn't she stop singing operatic arias in the wrong key? If the cap fits as they say.
There are thousands of great voices in the UK who you will never hear. There are people in music college now who could sing the pants off Kaff, but they will never make the money to support themselves financially. Being successful and famous has very little to do with actual ability. Think. What if every talented singer was rich and famous? Don't you think there are hundreds who never get a break? Why do you equate fame with excellence?
You are not a big fat opera singer? UGHHH...Juan Diego Florez is not big fat, Callas was as hot as ever, Julie Andrews at one time in her youth also brought classical music to the masses with all the hottness and sexiness of that time.
You don't know much about how Kaff has engineered her public persona whilst pissing on the competition then do you? You really wouldn't want a woman like her. Trust me.
""I've always faced prejudice. I'm a working-class girl from Wales. I have blonde hair and wear pretty dresses. There are a lot of people in the classical music world who absolutely loathe me. The critics slate me because I'm not what they consider the real thing. People expect a classical singer to be big and fat with Wagnerian horns on her head. Sorry, that's not me. It never was and I always knew my looks would be my advantage."
No, actually. Get your facts straight about Kaff's background before accusing me. Piers was her publicist, now she uses Liz Rosenberg who was behind Madonna's sex book and Erotica. I am a very good opera singer. I know people who studied with Kaff, and they know she is an overrated fraud. Real opera singers do not get paid what she does. Do research. :)
Total star flawless singing god bless her
An absolutely MAGNIFICENT woman!!!
Her elegance is absolutely remarkable. No words.
I met Katherine back in 2017 at the London coliseum theatre with Alfie boe she's absolutely the nicest lady I've met she said if I came back after the show she would have a photo with me and we did
People, this woman is NOT AN OPERA SINGER, she is a classical singer. There is a difference
Bibi Landin yes that is sooooo true
I'VE MET HER!!!!!!!!!!!! yay! :D She is soooooooooooooo nice!
Let you without sin cast the first stone .PIERS !
Ahh... yes, she's gorgeous to look at. And she has a voice to melt for. And now with DWTS she's proven herself to be "the best celeb dancer ever" on that show per the judges and folks like me.
And above all, she's smart and she has such a quick witty mind and humor. Several of her responses to Piers cheeky questions just cracked me up. And even above all that she has a warm gentle soul loaded with integrity.
What a woman!
Love Katherine Jenkins
She’s just 🥰

Press 7 and her giggle after that ... so sweet ^_^ ... I

i love piers too ... lol, when he says "yes. i'm bloody sexy" !!!!! ...katherine is absolutely lovely
Yay. She's welsh like me!!!!!! :D
That's interesting what she said about peoples reaction to her saying she was studying to be an opera singer. I tell people I'm studying to be an opera singer and they are impressed and intrigued.
I wasn't angry, I was upset
I love her on DWTS.
You are right, not worth arguing with them. BTW, I read - not sure if true - that someone asked Netrebko in the interview about KJ, she AN replied "ask me about something serious".
Sounds bloody modest to me.
The MOST MAGNIFICENT video on UA-cam is "Katherine Jenkins Quello Che Faro" (Everything I Do - in Italian)
Thanks Jewell. There are too many shills on this vid to even bother to reason with them.
I can actually prove that she said those words. It's in her interview outlined in a Daily Mail article from 20 September 2009 (article-1214150). Also, in this video she says she was telling at the party she was "studying opera" when her major wasn't opera.
Can't wait to see her at southend next year ! :D
what a beauty

@schchen2000 It is, there is no one I can think of quite like her, very unique beautiful women with that gorgeous smile and laugh
good looking people tend to have their good looks shoved down their own throats, for a confidence boost. not her fault.
Do you have Gordon brown on piers Morgan life stories ???
Why else hire Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg - if she was an opera singer her voice could speak for itself.
Neath neath neath
Very sharp Lady who can string many sentences together unlike some of so called female artists of today. Her class shows in these interviews. Beautiful lady with a charming voice.

Is it me or does it look like they have just stuck a picture of britney spears for the background? It doesn't really look like her,

I doubt that you would be impressed that as a real opera singer I have been in a real opera and your precious lovely Kaff hasn't.

At around 4.00 did he mean David Miller from Il Divo? Very surprised at that. Is he sure cause David seems like a nice guy
Gorgeous
Bellissima, dalle mia parti si dice: "una pattacca nucleare!!!"

jewelmarkess
If she did that, well that was mean and not necessary.
If Kaff doesn't call herself an opera singer, 1) why doesn't she correct the writers and TV shows who call her one, and b) why doesn't she stop singing operatic arias in the wrong key? If the cap fits as they say.
Katherine's sister is pretty too lol :)
Actually, she wasn't studying to be an opera singer. Her major wasn't opera - she graduated as a music teacher. She is lying.
something about her face reminds me of mila kunis
Wouldn't it be great if she and Shakira do a duet song?
But she did say all opera singers were fat old ladies with horns, and that is not only arrogant but insulting.
So in spite of the fact she sings Hymns she human who knew
What does she say at 9:30?
There are thousands of great voices in the UK who you will never hear. There are people in music college now who could sing the pants off Kaff, but they will never make the money to support themselves financially. Being successful and famous has very little to do with actual ability. Think. What if every talented singer was rich and famous? Don't you think there are hundreds who never get a break?

You are not a big fat opera singer? UGHHH...Juan Diego Florez is not big fat, Callas was as hot as ever, Julie Andrews at one time in her youth also brought classical music to the masses with all the hottness and sexiness of that time.
would love to be married to her
You don't know much about how Kaff has engineered her public persona whilst pissing on the competition then do you? You really wouldn't want a woman like her. Trust me.
I like her and everything.. but i hate the way catherine just knows shes pretty. i find it annoying.
You must be bloody joking, or else you are a shill, Piers made her a star. They know each other implicitly.
typical cancerian woman, humble :)
she has a bit of an evil laugh... :P
I could tell you what I've accomplished, but as I am actually not Katherine Jenkins, I doubt you'd be impressed with my real life awards.
Why? What's bad about being welsh?
oh my
Yea, bloody annoying and a TAX FRAUD!!
@sheva1976 : omg, he is selling me, that was he said.

@CiaranVanDon iv worked wit her!! she is..... i cud tell u a lot of goss lol x x
She never made it, I studied to be an opera singer and never made as much money as she has being a fraud.
Yes, but you are wrong.
Such a fake, sucking up to Piers like that. Would be different if she were actually an opera singer she isn't. Yuck. I hate frauds.
Who tf is she? 🤣
Fake blond.
just a bit sexist. piers is not nice !
