Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Same again... Comment: ...and again and again. There is no progression in her selection or style. She is just a singer of songs and after six albums of the same thing words like staid, formula and predictable come easily to mind. This album is a setp backwards and the most deflating of the lot...a re-affirmnent of formula over progression. Maybe the change of record label may stir something but as it stands she will be successful, talented, rich and very dull. Surely dull is the most damning criticism that can be levelled at an artist. Customer Rating: Summary: Strictly Grannie Fodder Comment: Only Jeff Buckley brought anything wonderful to Hallelujah, and the song should be left well alone. And since when is the theme to Vicar Of Dibley a 'sacred aria'? OK, it is an arrangement of Psalm 23, but I can't listen to this without laughing. As prettily as Ms Jenkins sings, I'm afraid this album is for grannies only. Wish I hadn't been subjected to any of it. Customer Rating: Summary: Soft, nice and combined with a very worm voice Comment: I have as well listened to as created sacred music. This album is so easy to listen to and Kathrine Jenkins very nice and warm voice give this music its right caracter. Customer Rating: Summary: oh dear Comment: Unfortunately, this album contains a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah', a song which about the pain of sexual love. Katherine turns it into an anodyne, passionless 'hymn', devoid of the heartache that made Jeff Buckley's cover so perfect. A tragic waste of her talents. Yet another example of how 'crossovers' don't work. Avoid. (It isn't even an aria!). Customer Rating: Summary: SIMPLEMENTE GRANDIOSA Y ENCANTADORA Comment: Katherine Jenkins es una de mis artistas preferidas en lo clasico, y con este album "La Diva" demuestra una vez mas su bellisima versatilidad con una serie de temas que son de corte religioso y muy inclinadas a la reflexion y la meditacion; su voz siempre impecable, dulce y deliciosa; muy hermosa la version de "HALLELUJAH" (me recuerda la de Shrek, tambien muy digna); melodias muy inspiradoras como PIE JESU (linda invitacion a la meditacion), ABIDE WITH ME (muy bella) y DOWN TO THE RIVER TO PRAY (recuerda mucho al "Gospel" de los 50's); me fascino el toque tan delicioso y contagioso de IN PARADISUM, la solemnidad mistica tan profunda de MISA CRIOLLA e incluso SILENT NIGHT, cuya magia me hace evocar la epoca navideña...Para mi, digan lo que digan, Katherine Jenkins sigue siendo mi cantante clasica favorita, y este album muy digno de una gran trayectoria artistica en el mundo clasico.
