Judy,
Over the years Susan's taste in music has gravitated a bit toward mine which
is classical, but then she discovered Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli
which are half way between classical and pop. I guess Brightman is yours as
well. I was impressed with her for awhile, but got tired of her, especially
her theatrics. Perhaps I have gotten tired of Bocelli as well but Susan
never has. She buys every CD he puts out. I like opera, but don't have too
many of CDs of just songs, but Jenkins impresses me.
Thanks,
Lawrence

Il Divo are really pretty popular here, and both their albums were number 1
in the charts. Katherine Jenkins is really very big here, yes; she's
Welsh but is very popular and well thought of in England as well. She's
remained more of a classical singer than the Il Divo and
isn't a manufactured product like them (I sometimes find them a bit
over-produced).

Judy, as the expert on all things British, perhaps you can tell me whether
the following advertisements are accurate.
Susan came home with Il Divo's Encore and we listened to that today. We
both thought it was very impressive, probably better than their first album.
The commentary that goes with it implies that they are a very big hit in
England. Is that true?
Also, I bought a CD by Katherine Jenkins a while back and liked it enough to
order her Living a Dream. The advertisements imply that she too is very big
in England. Is that true?
Thanks,
Lawrence
