Katherine Jenkins - It's Now Or Never

[smcliffhanger492]

Cringeworthy!

[Sapphire848]

I've heard a lot of Katherine and know that she's a classically trained mezzo-soprano, but several ofher songs sound soprano in range, not just mezzo!

I know that I'm soprano, but haven't had the chance to try these songs for myself to make sure of what the range is - can somebody who either knows them or can tell from hearing answer this, please?

[hralphbuk]

It's great to be Welsh with artists like Katherine around.



[54321thebeatles]

KATH, YOU ARE EVERYTHING......

[glennw53]

Parts of the melody are from O Sole Mio..The arrangement and words are American. Beauty is in all languages. She sings in like 5 languages and sings the best. Is it possible to have so much beauty in one package, I Believe so.

[SuperDonna888]

aw it's lovely...I love this version and as always Kaherine looks radiant and beautiful

[54321thebeatles]

ELVIS SHOULD BE AT YOUR FEET .....REMEMBER I LOVE YOU !!!!

[54321thebeatles]

VERY VERY CREATIVE, NEVER SANG BY ANY ITALIAN WITH SUCH BRILLIANCE!

GO AHEAD MY LOVE , AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEART....YOU`RE THE BEST!!!

[SuperDonna888]

Aw that is just delightful Katherine and your beautiful smile just makes me want to pinch your cheeks, What a lovely rendition...

[enrym86]

ma cos'è 'sta pagliacciata???? O____ò

[lottie1712]

its classcal with a bit of a jazz twist

[psininja92]

I love her and her version, but i dont think this song is supposed to be sung by a classical / crossover singer. Still, this is a refreshing version of the song!

[karaokeguy88]

@psininja92 it's called making the song you're own. I learned that from my voice teacher.

[psininja92]

@karaokeguy88 i agree that one should make the song their own - u should always do that. But I'm just saying that some songs just have that special something that requires a certain type of singer to give it that "oomph" and this song is one of them. personally i feel that this song needs an R&B/Motown singer, but her version is really nice too.

[psininja92]

@karaokeguy88 i agree that one should make the song their own - u should always do that. But I'm just saying that some songs just have that special something that requires a certain type of singer to give it that "oomph" and this song is one of them. For example, you probably ask a alternative rock to sing opera because the mechanics are completely different and the sound would greatly differ. personally i feel that this song needs an R&B/Motown singer, but her version is really nice too.

[Winky395]

No matter how many times I come back and listen to this it always makes me smile.

[SuperDonna888]

hahaha That's lovely Katherine

[Crazy4Dolly]

so much better then Elvis !

[BigStev44]

Katherine is a great singer but this is dreadful. I still would do naughty things with her though.

[walkawful]

she is so fit!

[PRINCEJAWID]

she's a slagbag haha...she's had loads of plastic surgery and she sounds like a frog...i can do that.

[walkawful]

@PRINCEJAWID how dare you. she has had no plastic surgery, she is too respectful to do any of that and she has a divine voice, she is also one of the fittest women on earth

[PRINCEJAWID]

@walkawful hahaha lmao...shes slimy not my cup of tea

[SuperDonna888]

@PRINCEJAWID So what does that make you. certainly not a prince as prince's don't make such inappropriate remarks. There is someone called ''Prince of Slimy'' though,. Perhaps he's your cup of tea

[Crazy4Dolly]

@walkawful she had a boob job but if she wanted it who are we to say anything :D love her

[ciaramcm]

plus this was a TRIBUTE show to elvis.therfore it b kinda stupid if she didnt sing 1 of his songs

[inetuse]

I love how flirty and happy she is when she sings this song. It makes this song so much much better.

[AncientGP]

Oh....Katherine, no Sweetheart. Not this song! Gorgeous voice, beautiful song, but its like pouring a grand single malt into a great beer. Great chaser but don't mix the two together!

[demonicattica]

She has an amazing voice...for opera. I'm sorry but I have to say 'no' to this one

[TheCrazyAmychannel]

wow i luv it it's a gd version from her and i could dance to this haha

[candancealot]

Her voice is to big for this song. She does better with Guide Me O Great Redeemer

[proudtobeasarahfan]

Katherine is amazing!

[neilharpe]

is she takin the piss that is the pitts

[281308ful]

pretty little voice, even prettier face. did someone really call her an opera singer ?

[royaltankreg01]

bless you katherine! that was lovley.

made me smile (love the little wiggle dance ! very sexy and beutiful singing as usual !

[tom67264]

This version is good for Swing Dancing! if I knew Swing, I would dance to this.

[marwray1]

jus goes to prove ucant keep agood welsh girldown they d like to stay home but they cant stop talking nedalone singing.

[Mrshaoshao]

i actually kinda like it u know

but i think the original one is 'o solo mio' if not mistaken

[SH4DYBR4DY]

i hate this sort of music rut she is amazing however i dont really like this song

[Rox4brayns]

Um... It doesn't really work.... But I did get a surprise when she started singing... Not what I was expecting.

[Anubis987]

same, such a contrast to elvis. Hits you like a ton of bricks. She's sung it beautifully, but i personally don't rate it as highly as elvis's

[pearljadie]

oh God it's so sweet! Katherine you rules! We fans love you forever!

[risaroo55]

What does she think she's doing?! She completely ruined the song. Some songs just shouldn't be made crossover.

[lennydylan]

i usually prefer brunettes to blondes..but if God created an Angel...this is what it would look like...

[lennydylan]

Craig...me thinks you like more than just the record

[craiglouden]

I love her singing this, but my dad is a MASSIVE Elvis fan and he hates this LOL

[marwray1]

we are still getting married tomorro arnt we kath M S Wales.

[thompsi99]

If she's so bad why listen to four tracks?

[Italiano32AcMilan]

bellaaaaaaaaa

[Gromit243]

lol!

[Bysectrix]

Thats the forth Kathrine Jenkins vid i`ve just watched and she`s mudered every song she`s sang.Someone cut my ears off.

Hayley Westenra is sooooooooooooo much better.

[TheChancer0]

Stop watching her videos then - thicko.

[Bysectrix]

I prefer being called a halfwit,i`m not as smart as a thicko.

[enigmaticatherealone]

OK, hi halfwit!

[Bysectrix]

Thank you.

And btw the songs still crap.

[dralq]

I don't care if she can't sing. She's still a hot babes.

[PRINCEJAWID]

she's welsh ????

[OneToughBanana]

Yeaah, She's Welsh :L

Im So Happy xD

[PRINCEJAWID]

nice song but its copy of elvis

[robertoudechile]

oooooooo

linda preciosa

me enamore

weooon

de donde salio esta hermosura

q increible voz

me matooooo

siento ganas de llorar al verla

[marwray1]

Oh Kath, excuse me for being biest and I'll class myself as being globaly minded but when I hear and see you perform. I think your Welsh and beautiful like my mum.( and of coarse my wife even though she's a beautiful Greek God bless Zorba) Mark S. Wales.

[OneToughBanana]

:O South Wales.

Is

Awesome.

:L

[Maureen712]

I would enjoy her singing more if she sang "O Solo Mio" instead of "Love Me Tender". "Love Me Tender" is Elvis' song. He sang every word with emotion. Katherine is the kind of singer that Elvis could not tolerate. She sings without feeling anything she's singing about and without making the listener feel anything. I miss Elvis..he is 'gone but not forgotten' while many singers are 'forgotten but not gone'.

[belovedangel1220]

ok the chick can sing but this is butchering an amazing Elvis song

[thesexywelshlad]

Actual Now Or Never Was A Classic Song & Elvis Funked It Up

[calibre82]

very good...

[spitfire9b]

Judging by the comments, it must be troll season again! BTW, she's magnificent.

[coesjrp]

Katerine I LOVE forever days in my life pLEASE MY DARLING MY VIDEOS PLIS MY LIFE IS YOU TO ETERNITYYYYYYYY

[Vaultwars]

she sucks in my opinion

[MARZOSIRUS]

The girl is pretty. The background accompanyment is good. The singing is not what I like with this song. Opera is good just not on this song. Elvis version the best nuff said.

[goneb4]

What a voice !! Imagine her singing with Elvis !

[1935birthofmusic]

please stop it....

[NickLeSanto]

Have heard this song and its original Italian source done by so many marvellous singers - and it is wonderful to hear yet another rendering by a singer with a voice as beautiful as her appearance is. Bravo!

[kinceyboy]

Gway outta that shes a craker could watch her all night

[gencobaser]

and i forgot to write she changes a great rock song in to a stupid openra i mean come on its the worst song i ever heard since she doesnt have talent she just copys other people songs

[jenxXxmwah86]

rytttt coz she has noooo talent! course u mussst b ryt! i would love 2 see u sing that song in opera! or sing it at all.

[gencobaser]

i can i have great talent i can sing it in rock and i sang alot of songs at party which schools make i sang we are the chapions and we will we will rock you and i once acted in the old day falling from a ship haha i got you there i also sing song when i listen to them and your probely have no talent listen to people who copies other peoples songs and a opera freak

[jenxXxmwah86]

we are the chapions!!! oh how origial! did u think of that yourself, because i thought you were against people coping other peoples songs! oh nd singing karaoke at parties when drunk.... ISNT A TALENT. U SUCK!?!

[gencobaser]

duh i even made my own song dumbass i had a drummer,guitarist and piano player come in my group and our song was called its on forever

[anthwhite91]

Been visiting bullshit dot com have we?

[Drelnis]

Lol copy other people's songs, did you know Elvis copied the original Italian version called O Sole Mio?

[elvispresley445]

@Drelnis no he copied melody but red west wrote lyrics

[Drelnis]

@elvispresley445 Of course I do realize that, he made it It's Now Or Never, which technically meant Jenkins copied Elvis in the first place, but what I'm saying is that don't say Jenkins copied Elvis, because Elvis took the score from Di Capua.

[dekzen]

@Drelnis Elvis always said before he sang this song on his concert that this is an italian and let someone which I don't know sang this song in italian version then he sang his version AND THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL "COPY"??

[Drelnis]

@dekzen Ooookkk... you're from Thailand? The effect of what's generalized use of "copy" is much milder than what is locally implied in Thailand :P

[dekzen]

@Drelnis อ้าว คนไทยเหมือนกันเหรอครับ 555+

[Drelnis]

@dekzen kub :D

[dekzen]

@Drelnis ภาษาอังกฤษผมไม่ค่อยดีอ่ะนะฮะ ถ้าเป็นแบบที่คุณบอกผมก็โอเคฮะ ไม่มีไรจะเถียง แหะ ๆ

[Drelnis]

@dekzen จ๊าาาา ^^

[NightRrider1212]

@dekzen The singer who accompanied Elvis, singing first 'O' Solo Mio' in it's origional Italian format was tenor Shaun 'Sherril' Nielsen. Also the lead vocalist in the Gospel/Vocal group 'Voice', which Elvis formed in 1973. Sherril features heavily on the 'Elvis Today' album and many stage and studio recording's throughout Elvis' remaing years, including 'Softly As I Leave You', Unchained Melody' 'Spanish Eye's' and many great Elvis recordings. Sadly, Sherril Nielsen passed away Dec 10, 2010.

[xunvala]

I'd just like to point out here, while we are arguing about copying songs, that Elvis copied the melody from an old Neapolitan song, O' Sole Mio. So Ms. Jenkins is not the only one who is copying. Furthermore, I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with borrowing melodies or songs from other musicians!

[anthony858]

There was a legend in Afghanistan before the Russian wars. He copied this song from Elvis and other European artists. But he made his own lyrics for it. His name was Ahmad Zahir- beautiful voice. Its ok everyone copies or barrow's, but if they do it, they better make it better.

[gencobaser]

ok fuck off. ı made a big mistake fighting back. this is my fucking opnion fuck off. i dont a shit about you. your just a retard who try to make me like his opnion.

[gencobaser]

fuck off. thats my opnion. i made a big mistake replying to a kow life like you. thats my god fucking opnion retard now fuck low life

[jenxXxmwah86]

I NO WHERE U LIVE< I NO WHO U R! I SEE U LATA

[gencobaser]

ohhhh terening meeee where do i live then retard

[jenxXxmwah86]

is it just me who wants to kill him???

[jenxXxmwah86]

a little place in denmark i watched you yesterdai

and i'l do the same thing tonight. its a shame your english is so shit

[gencobaser]

my channel shows denmark. but which location. city doesnt count the location then ill get freaked out

[Lozi90210]

Actually the song is actually the same melody as an actual opera song (O Sole Mio) and she was paying tribute the 'great' rock star in a tribute show!

[gencobaser]

no its not this is more breaking sound and elvis is more hard

[gencobaser]

i hate when people copy other peoples songs and sing it out thereselfs

[Lozi90210]

Which is exactly what Elvis did then

[elvisfan5308]

This song was terrible by her. Anyone who compares her to Sarah Brightman is crazy. Sarah can change her voice to fit the song. Everything I've heard by Katherine has one sound to it. Don't get me wrong she sings beautiful but no comparison.

[RayUllmann]

Let's be honest here...she's fake and crap!

[tykecymraeg]

Katherine demonstrates that in addition to a wonderful talent she has remarkable versatility. 

What a terrific performance!!

[Balenza345]

Her voice is so wrong for this song.

Terrible.

[kkhan5000]

I agree about the voice, however her delivery is really nice.

[15801400]

Did any of you know that this Song It's Now or Never, has the same tune as O Sole Mio, but if you know italian and look at the Lyrics for O Sole Mio, you will see that its about Natural weather after the storm, not a love song like It's Now or Never.

[15801400]

klkllk

[kkhan5000]

Nice copy, one of the better ones I have heard in a long time.

[thekingisalive5]

its now or never has and always be rememberd as a presley song he made it his own

[SarahOhhBaybee2k7]

this is a great version =]

[NCISFanatic]

I really like this version - it does Elvis justice!!

She sings soooo well.

[Ponting100notout]

I actually prefer Pavarotti's version of "O Sole Mio" (It's Now Or Never in Italian)

[duttybus45]

she mess up a good fregging song now i can listen to it for a long time apllause my ass

[LedZeppaman]

I think she has a great voice. But with a figure like that who gives?!

[phoenixcisco]

F$%CK.... what accent is that... F$!%ING MARTIAN .... OR IS IT WELSH....SAME DIFFERENCE EH ! LOL.

[gerryrains]

If Elvis has come back from the dead, been castrated, and then had a sex change operation (five stars for the surgeon), then this song makes sense. Otherwise no!

I expect a minimum of ten thumbs down in fifteen days. Let's get rolling there - I'll be checking.

[juro100]

she looks like pop star ^^

[thekingisalive5]

it proves what a great voice presley had when you hear people trying to sing his songs he was able to sing anything

[leoseries]

thekingisalive. Whose songs? O Sole Mio was written in 1898. Tony Martin did an English version in 1949. Elvis sang a version with lyrics by Aaron Shroeder. You can hardly call it Elvis's song.

[TheChancer0]

Absolutely fantastic - what versatility1

[CanadianOCrusher]

goog god that is HORIBLE!!!

[LEOPARDTWO]

I want this woman!

[Afgtaher]

whats that ??? shitttttt

omg delete this video its ....

sry elvis for this shit

[warbleblackbird]

this song doesn't suit her. i admire her for trying something different but i dont think it works :) xxxx luv u kath j

[1060893]

She sings like she has a broomstick up her butt.

[nabucco0]

crap. if this is wales best effort then Ann Robinson was right.

[xXChinadoll44Xx]

looks like paris hilton lol

[TheChancer0]

Cant believe the feedback so far - what a voice - best cover of this ive heard!

[farhannius]

complete bullshite

[gokathyJ]

Wonderful singing

[shosh1989]

erg... just really bad- pitchy and just not right

[DarkBabyface]

=))=))....omg=)) ruined the song

[drummond55]

As usual katherine lends her own fantastic talent in this translation. If all you critics out there hate her so much, can I suggest you don't listen (EVER)! This is her style, and she is not going to change for the very few.

[pippasghost]

I really don't get Katherine Jenkins. She sings foreign versions of English language songs ("L'Amore Sei Tu"/"My Heart Will Go On") and English versions of foreign songs ("Now or Never"/"O Solo Mio"). It's so annoying! Why can't she just sing the songs in the proper versions, the way they're supposed to be sung!?!

[GnosisMan50]

What the @$%k!!.....what the hell is she doing?!! If she wants to get into mainstream music she's off to a bad start! This sounds like the Gong show!! and as soon as I heard her sing...I would have hit that gong in no time! She needs help!!

[cujazztrpt]

Please stop ruining yourself.

[moderndesignworks]

Even though, I really don't like this version, but she is hot, so it's tolerable........lol.......Che­ck out Andrea Bocelli's Amour, and you will see how pops are done by an opera singer.......damn she is hot!!!

[nabucco0]

just rubbish

[marsatmach]

Good but not that good.

She sings it a lot better as O sole Mio

[ninjabluewings]

There Is Nothing Worse Than Pop Music Being Sung Opera Styley In The Shit Area Ha! Ha! G4 Are Another Load Of Complete Shit Too. Anyone Caught Singing Pop Or Rock'n'Roll In Opera Style Should Be SHOT Instantly With A TOMMY GUN! NO EXCUSES.

[Sqid101]

Can't we make an excuse for Katherine -- just this once? Just hit the mute button on your computer, I mean, who gives a damn about how she sings...

[Balenza345]

Never laughed so much since the wife died .!

[michssmichss]

that was good.. way better than "My heart will go on"..

[fredrico0]

just awful ..nothing else to say .. crap.

[KungPaoBubba]

she's not good with rock, I could however, see her doing some folk like led zeppelin.

[TaigaSibirskaya]

rhywiol iawn, anghofio'r gan, mae kath yn rhy bert, ti'n cytuno? xxx pryderth yn gwyrdd yna.

[takboleh]

I like KJ and I like this song when Elvis sings it. Somehow I felt KJ is better off singing classical rather than rock. Just a personal opinion....

[Gabrielle32]

katherine is lovely so i dont know why anyone would insult her, its such a shame evry artist had people insulting them.

[Johindes]

I am sorry but this made me laugh my arse off. I am as welsh as she is,, and she is just an embaressment as this clip shows.

[elvisaaron]

Shit!What is this?

[usenetposts]

When was "o sole mio" last in an opera? Answer me that!

[katelyn100]

Listen to Shirley Bassey singing 'Something' on youtube now she can sing.

[donmccullen]

Lets go ours ways and listen to our favorate music...OK?

So that you...I do like Renee Fleming...if that any complement to you.

[donmccullen]

The term would be 'Classical Crossover.' This niche is for people who appreciate what this art offers but is not a Serious Fan. I am one of them.

You don't KJ that is fine. You don't have to buy her records.

If she did not get a record deal she would still be teaching voice lessons

[donmccullen]

How about 'Classically Trained.'

Also Now or Never was adapted from the song. 'O Sole Mio.' If you own either 'Second Nature' or 'La Diva' you know that Jenkins recorded Mio, so hey getting her to sing 'Now or Never' was a wise move.

Be greatful of the Katherine Jenkins's out their who have enjoy the higher class art while embracing the good Pop art their.

And you wonder why Gangsta Rap and Hip-Hop is popular. Thank people like Clevercloggs for it.

[mexicorojo50]

I like opera, but this is terrible.

[naughtygab]

she should change her style. her make up and hair do makes her look like she is a dumb blonde

[clevercloggs77]

This is awful.

[cronullalen]

clevercloggs, you just love to post comments dissing Katherine. Now Katherine studied at the Royal Academy of Music, where exactly did you study?

[1935krag]

Do you wear a deaf aid?

[eisfree]

excellent excellent merci from berlin

[Laurenlam]

all i can think of is,

"new walls cornetto! give it to me!!" lol

she is brill!!

[JimTBell]

I had the pleasure of spening about two hours or more photographing this girl. She is as nice as she looks and she will never emulate Charlotte Church - thank god.

[hetoimasai]

Hayley Westenra, Charlotte Church, and now Katherine Jenkins! Ahh! How sweet it is!

[Drake219]

Makes your heart dance!

[absolutelyxfab]

omg shes so good

[1welshdevil]

The girl has it all, superb. Please dont let her go down the Charlotte Church route and squander her talent.

[theenforcer22]

great pair of lungs!

[avalma]

oh! Katherine has split from her boyfriend Steve Hart

[lurvgod]

im soooooo in love

[bryanlindsay20]

she is sooo hot wish my teachers looked like her lol xx

[joshuaselig]

What a Voice!!!

[avalma]

I prefer "O sole mio" to "It´s Now or Never". But Katherine is good.
