SIMPLEMENTE FANTASTICA - By: C. Bellegarrigue, 22 Feb 2008 
Una de las mas maravillosas voces que he escuchado en toda mi vida, este es uno de esos albumes que nunca se olvidan y le llegan a uno al fondo del corazon; Katherine le ha dado un nuevo lugar en el mundo a la musica clasica; temas magnificos como el NESSUM DORMA, grandes baladas como OVER THE RAINBOW, ALL THINGS ARE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL o AMAZING GRACE, la tonada clasica italiana TORNA SURRIENTO (una excelente competidora de la version de Elvis Presley "Surrender"), en resumen, una preciosa coleccion de bellas melodias de ayer y hoy en una voz que pareciera venir de los ángeles; imprescindible para todo amante de lo clásico y las melodias romanticas.

Sounds good, Looks great - By: Mart Music, 17 Oct 2007 
Living a Dream is the third CD release by Katherine Jenkins, sharing the same chart success as its predecessors by reaching No. 1in the UK Classical Music charts & No 4in the UK Album chartin 2005. It was also awarded Album of the Year at the Classical BRIT Awardsin 2006, repeating the success of her previous album Second Nature which won the same award the previous year.
Firstly, I was pleased with the much-improved image which the singer has adopted for this album's cover & sleeve artwork. A new photo & design team has given her a much needed glamour boost to something approaching an opera Diva.
It's also good to see a bit more content, with a playing time of just over 60 minutes it's better value than the two previous releases of 45 & 53 minutes duration.
Choice of songs however I have mixed opinions about, for while some songs work others fall flat & to me sound incompatible with the singers style.
The opening track `I will Always Love You' is translated into Italian, with no lyrics shown on the sleeve booklet, & as a consequence loses much of the impact of the original 1973 Dolly Parton version, & when compared to the hugely successful 1992 Whitney Houston version I think it fares even worse. Katherine Jenkins sings it with technically perfect voice control, while Whitney belts it out with emotion, & wins hands down I think.
To the opposite extreme though is the beautifully sung `I Vow To Thee My Country', with an almost ethereal orchestral backing & choir. This is perfect Katherine Jenkins material.
`Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's opera Turandot is an interesting soprano rendition of the now-famous Three Tenors one, but I don't think it comes close to that of Sarah Brightman's on her 1998 album `Eden'.
`All Things Bright & Beautiful', `Amazing Grace' & `Over the Rainbow' will be popular with those wanting some relaxing listening, & although these are brilliantly sung, I'd rather hear them on Songs of Praise on a Sunday afternoon.
Generally though the songs are a well chosen section of classical, opera & traditional pieces with interesting inclusions such as Andrew Lloyd Webbers `Music of the Night' thrown in.
The album closes suitably with `We'll Meet Again', which Katherine Jenkins has adopted, from Dame Vera Lynn, as her `Forces Sweetheart' trademark song dedicating it to the soldiersin Iraq. I've seen her sing it to great effect live, where it's guaranteed to get some of the older generation reaching for their handkerchiefs.
Another winning album.
Try something new! - By: Terry J. Hardy, 25 Feb 2007 
Certainly this album is no disaster but neither could anyone with any musical prowess argue it to be a fine compiliation. It is simply yet another disc of songs from the same safe ground as she exploresin her other albums & it really is time that a mature singer lived up to her age & produced something that is worthwhile listening to beyond the first hearing.
Iestyn is a plonker! - By: Mrs. W. Merritt, 02 Dec 2006 Katherine Jenkins has a wonderful voice. I sing & wish I had half of her clarity & pitch. The fact that she is so beautiful can only help her carry the music to a wider audience. Iestyn whatshisname is obviously a small minded critic who wouldn't know a good voice if it hit him.
