Katherine Jenkins - Living A Dream review

The Welsh classical songstress and two-time Classical Brits winner pops up with another collection of showtunes, Welsh "classics" and famous classical arias.

Proceedings kick off with an Italian version of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You that shows the woman has got a set of lungs on her, but does little to take the song anywhere new, save the clipped classical music rendition.

Other songs include Ms Jenkins' version of Amazing Grace - didn't she sing that at the Live 8 gig in Berlin? What the German audience make of that is certainly open to question.

What else? Well, I Vow To Thee My Country is on here, as is the now ubiquitous Nessun Dorma, plus All Things Bright And Beautiful. And We'll Meet Again. And Over The Rainbow. And Mon Couer s'Ouvre A Ta Voix. Indeed.

It's easy to be cynical, but her last album went platinum in the UK and this one will probably go the same way. But I doubt you'll be among those buying it, will you?
