I'm sick of critics who act like there is an absolute truth in the arts. Music is not nuclear physics, where there is only one truth, and the problem is finding it
I suppose many people are jealous of Katherine, because of her early fame and her beauty, and so refused to see her natural talent and hear her wonderful voice.
Katherine is now one of the most famous young singers in the UK, and I have every reason to believe that she will become a superstar like Domingo after like 30 years.
WOW! Domingo never gets old and his voice just seems to get better with age. I really believe that he will be singing in his casket!
What a beautiful pair they make.
"The Pride of Wales" and Domingo make a unique duo ! Fantastic !
Fantastique!
Excellent voice and beautiful singing by Jenkins. Too bad others are so jealous they bash her. Also, she is so beautiful.
Simply wonderful ....
she is the REAL princess! What a voice!
I attended my first carol service this year. This was one of the songs performed by the children's choir. Now is the season !
I love Placido!!!
Thank you very much it's wonderful!!!
It is a beautiful video and sound quality great surprise mother Katherine Jenkins duet with Placido Domingo really great beautiful voice
Thank you!

PLACIDO DOMINGO O MELHOR!!! THE BEST!!! Obrigada por compartilhar.MEGPESSOA.31/8/11.
Heaven 😇
Domingo still singing good despite his years.
Well, personally I like Katherine awfully lot, she has a special voice which is very very attractive to me
just wondering, why do you guys not like her?? :( i think she sings pretty good!
What I'll never understand is why it seems to make so many people feel so much better to either bash someone else, or to make some sort of misguided attempt to feel superior to another :-/
@MasterIsh91 YOU didn't win a scholarship to the Royal Academy of music though or win ChoirGirl of the Year several times and many other prizes and medals?
@MasterIsh91 ohh really...and who are you the master of voice? Tell me do you know anything about singing techniques and anything about how the vocal cords work? You obviously must think you're all that and know a whole lot more than myself, and anyone else who sings classically. Katherine Jenkins has wonderful technique in her way of singing and bringing it out with each note she sings. Don't criticize unless you know what you speak of!
@DAXLAW I won a scholarship to the RNCM and the RAM i'll have you know, Katherine Jenkins got into the RAM by accident. They meant to give her place to a very talented cellist called Katherine Jenkinson but got it mixed up. She's a very very rich accident...
Wow, she is amazing, the multicolors of her voice are incredible... she sounds like a baritono at the end!
Ok really? Do you guys know anything about voices, and styles?! She has an amazing voice!!! Stop criticizing...obviously you guys have no clue that a huge voice like hers needs lots of control and support. She's still learning and growing! Her voice won't mature until she's around 30...it's just the way operatic voices are!!! I have a very similar voice so I know what the hell I'm talking about!
Thank´s a lot for this wunderfull video! Was this a live performance?
piękny głos, pięknej kobiety...
Jenkins totally outclassed by Domingo
Thanks for uploading this clip...surely performances like this are a bit controversary..the young lady seems to be a bit artificial and her singing lacks expression and lightness. Plácido Domingo nearly seems to help her by not wanting to blow her off the stage with his powerful voice. But listening to the text one understands why both of them do it as they did at the Classical Brit Awards. I like it, but another female singer could have sang better, warmer, delivering more emotions.
How on earth did they convince Domingo to sing with her?!
Because Domingo knows better than you what a good singer is.
@@willys6529 He sings with her a lot and loves her voice..

Con't. Oh yes; Warner flies Katherine and her staff around the World in a huge private jet. Still she is sweet, gracious and a great role model. AND this weekend Kath is running a half marathon for charity in London. Wake up U Opera people and embrace her.
Jenkins,,,,such a blondy beauty....haha..hard to concentrate on her voice because of her sexiness...lol
@philipc67, si quieres discusion, ok¡ You tube es ancho¡ Me da igual en ingles o español, veo que eres un experto en idiomas, y quizas en opera tambien,...y en sentimientos y disfrute artistico? Posiblemente. Hasta puede que seas un verdadero sibarita que solo admita 'productos delicatessen' de primera. Beluga, y 5 jotas, vamos¡....Philip, me caes bien incluso para echarnos unas beers¡ Escoge¡
She's listed as a mezzo but I think she's a contralto. She doesn't have a high enough range for soprano. Listen to her sing 'Love Never Dies', Lloyd Webber's title song from his new musical. He had to transpose the last half of the piece down a major third for her because she couldn't hit the high notes. Sierra Boggess, a true Soprano like Sarah Brightman, sings it w/o transposition.
sarcasm detected
Esta claro que este no es 'un mundo para viejos', ....daria lo que fuera, ahora, por escuchar al 'viejo' de Domingo en vivo¡...yo vomito por otros motivos: el hambre y las guerras en el mundo, las injusticias en general....No me imagino a Domingo 'solamente' cantandole nanas a sus (bis)nietos, o jugando a las cartas en la residencia de mayores. No, Domingo es de los que moriran 'con las botas puestas'. Me gustara verte Philip cuando tengas 64 o mas, tio¡.
@lilangelx09 It's not going to get any better with that technique.
@arpeggio1358 i that there should be YouTrash but comments like yours and @philipc67 should be the ones it. How dare you insult Katherine and Domingo?! They are one of the greatest singers that have ever lived and if you don't agree then get away from here because there are a lot of people who feel the same way I do!
I really like Domingo, one of my favourite opera singer. Katherine Jenkins... Yes, she is not a real opera singer, we know it... but i have to write down my opinion. I think, she has very good and beautiful voice, and she doesnt sing badly .... But... she is really better at pop music. She is not so good at opera arias (okay, it isnt an opera aria), I dont know for sure, is she really a mezzo-soprano? Im not okay with her high notes, but maybe she's soprano.. in my opinion.. i dont know
I'd love to, but I have better use of both my time and money, and it astounds me that some people don't.
lei . . . . :(
lui.. . .. . :))))))))))))
@MasterIsh91 Well if you're half as good as you say you are I look forward to hearing you in the future. Nevertheless it will not help your career libelling others, however preposterous the lies.
I strongly agree w/outthr. Competition in the arts is thoroughly repugnant to me. Would you have Renoir and Degas enter a competition. Jenkins is her own woman and should not be bashed just because she's better looking than the rest.
Surely you're joking, Old Cranky! I can't seriously believe that you're not putting us on. Come on admit it.
Domingo is the most famous classical/opera singer alive today. He is a living legend and people will be playing his hundreds of recordings long after people are asking "Katherine who?"
I'm surprised that someone of Domingo's stature and fame would sing with someone like Ms. Jenkins. However, I have no problem with it--but a different female singer would have been better.
"Balck" isn't a word either.
Dude didn't your mama tell you never boo a beautiful woman? lol
You do know "firstly" isn't a real word, right?
@lilangelx09 I'm currently at the Royal Northern College of Music studying to become an Opera singer. I know plenty about singing technique and believe it or not I have lessons in how the vocal folds (they're folds not cords) work. Katherine Jenkins has an inferior technique, she is often gasping for breath, her high notes are laboured and unpleasant. She is only famous because she is pretty. I know exactly what I speak of and I know that if you want to hear a soprano, you should look elsewhere!

@MasterIsh91 Rubbish
@philipc67, Vale, tio¡ Reconozco que el ingles que emplee anteriormente, fue orendo y orible, incluso puede que ororoso¡ Hahahaha¡ it's time to get in in language classroom¡ Nunca debio Bernstein componer West Side Story, y Domingo haberse retirado...en la ultima decada o en los 90' o 80' o 70'(¡?)...o quizas, no haber nacido¡ Hahahaha¡...me caes simpatico,philip67¡ Eres del 67? Hahahaha¡
Placido was/is Katherine's vocal coach w/ an eye toward her operatic goals. She doesn't and never has claimed to be and "OPERA SINGER". Others say that about her and you idiots don't see the distinction? The compartmentalized brain of the male human is so annoying sometimes. Really it is.
Btw: Placido's natural range was baritone but he trained his voice to the tenor range so he could sing the herioic roles. He's very candid about that in interivews. Duh?
Boys! What IQ's do you have? Pretty deficient from the sounds of it. If you don't enjoy KJ's work just boycott her vids and her shows. Stop with your trash talk which is such a waste of everyone's time.
Try this:
"It is so much more productive to be for what you are for, and let others be for what they are for. It is counter-productive to be against. In fact, you just give more energy to that which you are against."
- Wendy MacLoed Stokes
You're right her pop voice is much better than this voice she uses for arias. She forces her voice too much for opera and her vibrato is too tight and fast. But Katherine herself says she needs more opera training. I would like to see her get with a good voice coach who will straighten out her flaws. She can be an opera singer if she wants to be but she will have to work hard for it. The question is will she stop touring and making albums long enough to put the time and work into opera?
#2 Placido has often told the story about his "natural range" in interviews and makes no secret of it. Your ignorant dismissal proves you only believe your presumptions despite people telling the truth. He was born with a natural baritone and he trained his voice into the higher register. He is not and never was a true "Italian Tenor" and freely admits it. Go figure!
What an insane discussion. A connoisseur gets thumbs down, while the one who calls Maestro Domingo "the old guy" gets thumbs up? Yuck. Her voice is ugly, and my respect for Domingo suffered when I heard that he sang with Lady Mediocre (at the best).
Now gimme thumbs down! For knowing something about singing.
I don't know. Her technique is not insufficient, it's wrong. She'd have to completely rebuild it. Plus, she's how old, 30? Singers of her age have won competitions (albeit some just local). Add to it her plain interpretations.
I doubt that there's anything that could convince me that without all the PR and the wow effect of people who only know Pavarotti (OMG, a good looking opera singer!) she would ever make it. And when she attempts to sing opera, she deserves to be booed off the stage, sorry.
She has an interesting tone, that Mis Jenkins. Sort of covered. Not unbearable though, lol
How rediculous; I wish I could sing like Jenkins any day.
WTF is Domingo doing singing with Jenkins? He must really need the money.
He knows what a good singer is.
ha! I no what culture is its that stuff you get at teh bottom of petrie dishes
@DAXLAW I think almost every professional singer dislikes KJ, some are just more vocal than others :)
Her live performance is even worse than on records! I feel sorry for those who has a truly beautiful voice but not a pretty face!!
Yes my bad, your name should have told me your gender. You should make it your mission to attend her concerts and boo her when she breaks out her (falsely so-called) opera voice. Maybe that will make you feel better...
Well of course he was never a true "Italian" tenor. He was born in Spain to Spanish parents.
I think the song sucks. Domingo is getting wobbly-voiced and Katherine takes too many breaths, her vibrato is too tight and fast, and she needs another octave. Other than that it's great.
I would imagine he's interested in something other than the money.
@DUCKSICKED That's becasue she's not a real opera singer, if she didn't look so pretty there would just be a mediocre voice.
lets be honest they both are singing this song totally wrong !!!! and you can hear it is not right for either of them
To everyone being negative to those being critical of Jenkins technique, you make yourselfs sound alittle like you don't know what you're talking about yet you accuse those who are critical of her as not knowing what THEY are talking about.
I used to like Jenkins, then I started to listen to opera singers who had actually performed in opera houses. I could no longer appreciate her wobbly voice and very plain songs anymore because I knew that she was very mediocre. Even as a classicalxover 'star'
strange, I see the exact opposite of what you write, isn't it a big world, in which we have so many different opinions...
@CallaLily42 One of the greatest singers who ever lived? Which planet are you on, poor child? Domingo, yes he was once a great tenor. Now, at 70, he uses his diminished voice in ill-advised baritone roles and these stupid concerts, well paid no doubt. An unforgivable abuse of talent and position. Katherine Jenkins is neither singer nor artist, just a pretty face who dresses like a call girl and sings elevator muzak...badly. Get an education, listen to a real opera singer, note the difference.
I have a feeling your idea of a great classical singer is Mrs. Miller.... Fmr Lettermen / Gary Pike
Aww, ad hominem arguments? How cute.
If you don't take my word for that I know something about singing, can you at least explain why she doesn't sing in real opera houses, like a real opera singer? No, because she's not one. Let her stick to pop songs and be called what she is. Her voice when singing pop is nice, when singing opera is ugly, because her technique is poor. Her interpretations are bad. If I didn't know how PR works, it would've been beyond me how she's become famous.
@DAXLAW Fact actually, she's awful. The classic fm/classical brit audience love her particular brand of terrible singing and you can't take it when anyone criticises her. She's not an opera singer and she's not even a good classical singer, she needs way more training as anyone with any sense can hear. If you really want proof of my studentship at the RNCM then I'll happily tell you all about it. Go listen to a real singer.
@millonety123 Por favor, no me escribas en ingles, tu uso del idioma esta orendo. Si prefieres el espanol podriamos tener una discusion aqui. Si, estoy de acuerdo que Domingo FUE un gran tenor, pero ahora no lo es. El Maestro debe ritirarse, estos conciertos idiotas con la princesa mediocre de silicona son oribles!
Gosh, this song is awful. Such very good singers. Wasted on this. They did well to make this amazingly average. Not a very singable song for most people. I've never heard people whistling this one.
Is it just me or does this song just suck, in spite of the unquestioned talent of the singers
Placido, Placido...What were you thinking singing with this insect?!? They must have paid him an awful lot of money to sing with Jenkins. You know he was cringing the whole time. BTW...Classical singers sound just as ridiculous trying to sing pop as do pop singers who try to sing opera!
I love Placido!!!
