To think Katherine Jenkins just ruined a perfectly good song?

On the Variety show. She covered a song by evanescence and just butchered it! It supposed to be a rock song not an Oprah wreck!

I liked the ventriloquist too.
Agree that Diversity fell a bit flat.

Not to mention with Diversity the camera was all over the place and the lights were behind them and so bright they kind of eclipsed them so it could have been a lot better!

This looks like another wierd perfume ad...

(as an aside - does anyone else love the advert with Santa and the Pie Maker)

...who has come dressed as a packet of Silk Cut.

ErikaMaye · 16/12/2009 21:50

sob Bette Midler. This song always gets me... Am blaming it on hormones tonight

merlin · 16/12/2009 21:51

just love love love that song!

bruffin · 16/12/2009 22:22

I thought the same as your mum EricaMae

Was I going mad or did they cut Farrell out as she came on stage at the end and was introduced to HM but I don't remember her singing.

deste · 16/12/2009 23:25

She opened the show with God save the Queen.

bruffin · 17/12/2009 00:01

Thanks

Ghastly.

crumpette · 17/12/2009 10:27

YANBU I didn't watch it but she murders lots of fine songs imo...

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/12/2009 10:31

agree sleepy

fab song yet was ruined

Bucharest · 17/12/2009 10:34

KJ always makes my ears bleed. It's fingers on a blackboard.

(I know it's not, but I prefer my opera singers a bit more throaty and a bit less screechy)

expatinscotland · 17/12/2009 10:40

I'm with Bucharest. I could just about tolerate KJ when she stuck to classic, but her 'breakthrough' to America album gives me the heaves.

RnB · 17/12/2009 10:45

Agree KJ was shit, usually is. The song, performance etc was crapola.

Also agree that Diversity were VErY disappointing. Thought some of their performances on BGT were better. WHat went wrong there?

But Mr Buble was FANTASTIC imo

ZsazsaCarnadine · 17/12/2009 10:49

God and now she's hawking an album with that song on it
