Katherine Jenkins - British Forces Sweetheart - A Tribute

[leemsafc]

how can anyone dislike this? respect your country

[lilsaprano123]

This is me performing at a charity show for Help For Heroes I am 13 it was for such a good cause and i loved doing the Gracie Fields song.

Vera Lynn was the sweetheart of every British fighting man during World War II. Her beauty, elegance, voice, patriotism, and womanly virtue inspired the British forces. It can be fairly said that Vera Lynn was the woman who won World War II. Now Katherine Jenkins has taken up the mantle as British Forces sweetheart. She is to be commended for her patriotism, dedication, and inspiration.

[TheShepster80]

Im all for british troops being entertained! But to sent someone as hot as katherine can only make it worse for them! Hot blooded males who have been away from their other halfs! And the other thing is i really can't see the boys loving opera music! Send over some rock bands! So they can really enjoy themselves! American troops are treated to the WWE making an appearance every once in a while etc! Our troops get katherine jenkins/james blunt and a hasbeen comedian.

Among the many things we seek to defend in this ongoing war against militant Islam is the freedom of women to decorate this world with their God-given beauty, like this wonderful woman. You will cover this beautiful lady in a black sack only over my dead body.

[Earthlinggb]

Why don't you learn something Katherine?

[Ebbs1204]

@Earthlinggb learn what?

[12harby]

Katherine has and still is a wonderful sweetheart to the British overseas soldiers , they are the ones that matter most .

Many wonderful performers - including Marilyn Monroe - have done wonderful work visiting troops abroad. Katherine Jenkins follows that great and noble tradition. WEll done and God Bless you and all our military personnel.

[pantherz9103]

Great video, I'm getting to really appreciate her music even though classical isn't usually my thing, I make an exception for her. She's beautiful, talented, graceful and seems really down to earth. I've got to go to Wales!

[ElizabethTryon]

Sig Johnson

[insanemadman1]

No need to say "only." The T.A is just as important. Remember the motto, One Army, Regular and Territorial! All the best!

[Oldmuso]

Katherine - thank you so much for supporting our troops - but we'll (Scots based)beat you at rugby in 09 (????)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously - THANK YOU!

[xevcosmo]

Beautiful, a new voice for a new generation, Dame Vera Lynn is still very much alive, and probably saying Bravo to this great performance, thank you so much for sharing.

[SEETER1]

BAND OF BROTHERS!

[PepBis]

Who would you rather have as your sweetheart? Katherine Jenkins or Dame Vera Lynn?

Necrophiles need not answer.

[scolear]

I think she's a bit uncomfortable with Jonathan Ross' jokes especially the ones about the squaddies not listening.

[PepBis]

OMG she looks so cute in that helmet!

On a separate point, I like the way they've changed the lyrics to 'World in Union' by Kiri Te Kanawa.

[PepBis]

Does it actually do these soldiers any good when they have been deprived of the company of women to then be visited by this goddess?

It's a bit like showing a starving man a juicy sirloin steak which he can only look at!

I'm just being facetious, I love this woman!

[mbb05jb]

yes, northern ireland isn't that hardcore, but well done for going to afghanistan

[GoogleGSM]

She really does boost morale on her visits; a lovely lady and a future legend.

Look forward to seeing her again somewhere hot and sandy - it almost makes operations enjoyable! ;o)

[Tomakak]

Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, great video. Shame it's marred slightly by the BBC moron (is that a redundancy? probably): 'Iraq - that's a dangerous place isn't it?' No shit BBC, it's a warzone.

Here's to her, the British Armed Forces and the Allies.

Oh, and I hope they dropped a J-DAM on the bastard who shot at the chopper she was riding on.

[AKSAM6]

Ms. Jenkins is simply a class act. The world and especially Hollywood would do well with more ladies like her. God Bless you Ms. Jenkins.

[Quasimoto44]

I just hit the wrong button AKSAM, and so I must appologize! I meant to give you a "thumbs up"! Great comment!

I have said before, we have Britney Spears, you have Katherine Jenkins; we have Madonna most of the time, you have Katherine Jenkins; we have the "prima donna" Jennifer Lopez, you have Katherine Jenkins; we have the slut Christina Auguilera, you have Katherine Jenkins! How did the USA get cheated? I would trade the whole damn lot of Hollywood and our music industry for one Katherine Jenkins! Well done Wales! Well done GB!

[TrooperLFC]

Katherine Jenkins, for Queen. I salute you.

[mat1500]

Katherine is divine. Voice, beauty, character, class, strength, courage. Charming, humble, and genuine. Wow! So truly unique, in this world. A blessing for Wales, Britain and the world!

[BigOldScout]

Great to see a British singer supporting our allied soldiers. I had a chance to train with British Para's and thought they were great guys. Last time I was in the Gulf I worked along side some Royal Engineers and can only say it is nice to have some decent allies.

[MEGALUKE]

Wales!!!

[Paige1988LR]

[darklion53]

[snipad]

she is absolutely gorgeous met her in 2006 in iraq

[Quasimoto44]

snipad, a lot of people accuse her of being saccarine and a phony. I think they are mostly jealous women and opera snobs. Write to me and tell me if you found her to be a fake?

[pantherz9103]

I've watched alot of her interviews I find it hard to believe that she's not genuine. I just think some people dislike her popularising opera/classical. The likes of Andre Rieu, Michael Buble and others like that face the same criticism as being imitators in their genres, I'd say its all just snobs.
