Katherine Jenkins is the new young thing in that strange twilight zone between opera and easy listening. She's 23, she's got long blonde hair and a face that, at the right angle, looks like the young Jean Shrimpton. She poses well in black. And she has a lovely voice - pure, angelic and capable of hitting some very high notes.
