Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Reviews:
After carving a somewhat lucrative niche as a classical crossover artist, award-winning Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins has seemingly gone "pop" for her fifth album, "Rejoice". Fans can relax, however. Far from attempting a Charlotte Church-style reinvention, Jenkins manages to slide gently and mellifluously into the world of popular music, retaining her trademark operatic vocal style and smooth, unruffled coherence throughout. The slightly arbitrary tracklisting on "Rejoice" mixes up music-theatre standards, modern pop and new material; Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" nestles comfortably next to evergreens such as "Somewhere" (from West Side Story), classics like Shirley Bassey's "I Who Have Nothing" and new tracks written by the likes of Steve Mac (Westlife, Toni Braxton), Take That's Gary Barlow and Simon Franglen (Céline Dion, The Bee Gees). Of these, Barlow's lush "Viva Tonight" is a highlight, though all are competent enough to add a convincing contemporary veneer to the collection. Far from selling out to the pop market with "Rejoice", Jenkins has made pop fit into with her own inimitable style. --Danny McKenna




Rating: - Well worth the money
I'm surprised by the number of reviewers who criticise Katherine because she has not performed in opera and then compare her unfavourably with leading opera singers. Nowhere on this CD (or any of her CDs and DVDs) is she described as an opera singer and her recordings do not claim to be opera. Her recordings do include some arias from opera (though not here) and these are sung very well, but she also includes Welsh songs,(again sadly none on this disc), hyms, songs from musicals and other works. ...

Rating: - WE LOVE HER
We are new to this lady's music & what a singer she is. We have just bought this CD & we will certainly get her older ones.

Rating: - Please don't call her an Opera singer!
While Katherine Jenkins may have a pleasant voice(I repeat PLEASANT),that's about all there is to it.
Why,oh why will reviewers etc refer to her as a crossover artist!crossover from what?
She has,to my knowledge sung and recorded opera arias,but has NEVER performed in a complete opera.Singing opera arias live and on disc does not make one an opera singer.I doubt if Ms Jenkins COULD sing through a complete(staged) opera,her voice would be torn to shreds.
Ignorant people who think ... Read More

Rating: - PRECIOUS AND DELIGHTFUL!!
La quinta y maravillosa entrega de la Diva Jenkins, es un album que contiene mas melodias pop pero sin perder el enfoque clasico tan caracteristico de ella; desde piezas que nos recuerdan Broadway como la dulce SECRET LOVE (mi favorita del cd) y la monumental SOMEWHERE, la solemne REJOICE, una version muy hermosa de la cancion de Seal KISS FROM A ROSE, baladas tiernas como LE COSE CHE SEI PER ME hasta culminar con la monumentalmente encantadora VIVA TONIGHT; un gran disco de una gran cantante que ...

Rating: - Katherine - You can rejoice!!
Having been a fan of Katherine's for many years, first seeing her suporting Aled Jones a few years ago before "hitting the big time", I was looking forward to hearing her new album. It is absolutely fabulous and is constantly in my CD player, either at home or in the car. My favourite track has to be "Shout in Silence", followed by "How do you leave the one you love?" Having said that, all the tracks are wonderful. If you are thinking about buying one of her albums, I would say start right here ... Read More
