This time the Patriots, the Rams and 80,000 spectators had to put up with strangulated warbling.

Would love to a parody sketch like the Go Compare Ads. Where Wiggo is hiding on a rooftop
with a Barratt sniper rifle. 'Saving Britain' from cr4ppy singers.

    Think I may have got the wrong singer. It was Lesley Garrett wasn't it?

    Yup, it was. I think you're referring to her singing when Bradley won the TDF, and it was a bloody awful racket.

    Miss Jenkins on the other hand usually does a good job of it (as she did in the vid you posted), but perhaps not to your taste?


    The older I get, the better I was.

  • Yes, Lesley Garrett was far worse when she ruined Brad's big moment in Paris!

    Not to my taste these operatic versions of the anthem. Especially Garrett's.

    Agree on the overblown Garret, but when Katherine looks like this ...

    Murders the national anthem again? Is this the plot for Double Jeopardy 2?

    Whilst I like Katherine Jenkins and enjoy some of her music she has been butchering the Welsh national anthem for years and others are now copying with the final few notes going up far higher than the music intended (I really hate accompanied national anthems anyway especially at Welsh rugby matches where the crowd can do the job fine by themselves).
  • I don't think I've ever heard Katherine Jenkins sing a note, even with the volume up.

    Fap, fap, fap, fap.......

    I thought it made you go blind, not deaf.

    Totally agree. It was a good career boost for Charlotte Church and Hayley Westerana but it's time to stop now. Maybe it's new soulless stadiums but I remember being able to feel the vibrations through the telly back in the day. As a young un it always made me feel rather scared/excited.

    Even the All Blacks are dicking around with the haka these days!

  • The day Katherine Jenkins contracts bronchitis on a permanent basis will be a happy day in my book. Can not stomach the woman!

    As for National Anthems, bang on the music* and let the crowd do the rest!

    * the exception to this should be Welsh home rugby internationals - let the crowd do the lot for that one. Magic.
