All the charm and personality of a page 3 model.

guess it gets jollier where you secrete it

According to my DD (aspiring opera singer) Katherine Jenkin's cure for a sore throat & tired voice is warm pineapple juice and manuka honey, Charlotte Church's cure - port & brandy & a bucket load of Dom Perignon. Hmmm wonder who is most fun????

(Sadly, I'm sorry to say that according to DD the vile sounding pineapple juice does work.....)

Wouldn't a FF be, er, kinda tingly?

Hey, I've an idea - why don't you secrete one, and report back? This could be interesting. I'm too far from the sea to have any proper fishermen here. You see.

Me and my DH can't stand her either. I went right off her when she came on Loose Women and sang Bryan Adams 'Everything I do' and did it in Italian because 'it sounds classier'.

She isn't technically that good either.

scottishmummy · 14/11/2009 00:57

dont know technically just know she hurts my ears -mighty big time

TigerLightsitandscarpers · 14/11/2009 01:05

How could "everything I do" sound remotely "classy", whatever that is?

Jackaroo · 14/11/2009 08:36

Thought I'd do a google to see what you were talking about as I have been away 2 years and managed to forget her existence. It's coming back to me (thanks for that).

Well. You Tube, KJ singing Hallelujah on GMTV (another thing I'm not pining for), it's.. erm... hysterical.

The Received Pro-nun-ciation; she sounds like Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. "Yoo don't rahlly care for music doo yoo".

She gives the impression that if you looked round the back all you would find is cardboard and gaffer tape.

IMVHO.

Jackaroo · 14/11/2009 08:39

Argh, sorry, and I've just got past the first phrase and she's singing "Hallelujah" as if she's blowing out a candle "In Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire..."...

Isn't it pronounced Allelujah?

Iamamumma · 14/11/2009 08:45

So irritating - she wears too much slap and I am sure that first thing in the morning is a complete fright. I hate her actually

bramblebooks · 14/11/2009 09:39

She should be sealed in a capsule with Mylene Klass and blasted off into space.

Oh, my first proper !

Turniphead1 · 14/11/2009 10:37

I find her singing dreadfully nasal. She wears too much makeup (on ordinary TV rather than concerts when I expect that much slap is needed) - which is a shame as it ages her and she is probably very pretty beneath. She also "seems" like a nice person but obviously I have no idea.

Always preturbed by people who say they "hate" celebrities. You don't know them. It's a strong word to use. I can't think of a single person in real life that I "hate" (there are some whom I dislike or find irritating though).

AliGrylls · 14/11/2009 10:41

The difference between her and Myleene Klass is that she can actually sing. I like her singing. Are the people that say "technically" she isn't that good in a position to actually judge, ie, do you actually know something about singing?

I am a singer and singing teacher. Take it from me - KJ is a dreadful singer. She has no technique to speak of, makes a horrible over manufactured sound and I find her performances totally insincere. She wouldn't have a hope of making it in the opera world. That she is called an opera singer is a joke! I know so many singers who are much more talented than Ms Jenkins - it angers me that she is held up as a wonderful singer. Her Double D boobage is largely responsible no doubt.

McSnail · 14/11/2009 16:57

I've nothing against her - but she's so dull, if she was a colour she would be beige.

Wanderingsheep · 14/11/2009 17:11

She reminds me of a strange porcelain doll and her teeth are weird.

cornsilkwearscorsets · 14/11/2009 17:20

She is the female Rhydian.

Emprexia · 14/11/2009 17:29

Harry Hill moment.

Who's better.. Charlotte Church or Katherine Jenkins.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

I've a feelings Charl' would knock KJ out and then stick the boot in with an "you alright but'? No.. oh.. thas a shame now innit?

My hubby is from Ebbw Vale.. he agrees with me!

JulesJules · 14/11/2009 17:41

I really dislike her voice - no consonants, too much warbly vibrato. Sounds as if she is singing in an icerink.

I heart Charlotte Church though!

HinnyPet · 14/11/2009 18:24

Blasting Miss Smug 2009 Mylene Klass into space... now there's a thread I'd like to see

AliGrylls · 14/11/2009 18:36

Charlotte Church is definitely better no doubt. But I have to say I always thought KJ had quite a pretty voice.
