Katherine Jenkins Never Enough

Good Late Morning/Early R.E.D. Friday Afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!

I am later than I thought I would be getting back to my laptop after taking care of some personal matters...but I am back and for my first Music Interlude song, I have chosen a singer who I have not heard before... Her name is Katherine Jenkins and she is performing a song titled "Never Enough" I have included both some of her background information as well as the lyrics to this song... I hope you all enjoy it!

Background:

Katherine Maria Jenkins OBE (born 29 June 1980) is a Welsh mezzo-soprano singer and songwriter. She is a classical-crossover singer who performs operatic arias, popular songs, musical theatre and hymns.

After winning singing competitions in her youth, Jenkins studied at the Royal Academy of Music, modelled and taught voice. She came to wide public attention in 2003 when she sang at Westminster Cathedral in honour of Pope John Paul II's silver jubilee. Since 2004, she has released numerous albums that have performed well on British and foreign charts. In both 2005 and 2006, her albums received Classic Brit Awards as Album of the Year. She has been seen widely in concert, including performing for British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. She has sung at sporting events, on television shows and in support of many charities. In 2012, she competed on the U.S. television show Dancing with the Stars, finishing in second place, behind NFL Super Bowl champion Donald Driver.

Six out of seven of Jenkins's studio albums reached number one in the UK classical charts between 2004 and 2008, selling a total of more than 4 million copies. After her first album, Premiere, made her the fastest-selling mezzo-soprano to date she became the first British classical crossover artist to have two number one albums in the same year. She is the first female artist to win two consecutive Classical BRIT Awards: her second album, Second Nature, reached number 16 in the UK Albums Chart, and was Album of the Year in the 2005 BRIT Awards.

Jenkins's Italian-language version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" ("L'Amore Sei Tu"), first performed live at Nostell Priory, West Yorkshire on 28 August 2005, was the first cut on her third album Living a Dream. After that album was released, uniquely, she held the top three positions in the classical crossover music chart. The album held the number one position for nearly a year and reached number four in the pop album charts.[13] Jenkins repeated the success of Second Nature with her Living a Dream album when she won the classical BRIT award for Album of the Year for a second time.

Her fourth album, Serenade was released on 6 November 2006 and reached number five in the mainstream charts selling more than 50,000 copies in its first week, a record in the genre. The top four albums on HMV's classical charts were hers.

Her fifth album, Rejoice, was released on 19 November 2007 and included songs written specially for her, two by Take That's Gary Barlow.[18] The album entered the pop album charts at number three, beating the Spice Girls and Girls Aloud. Jenkins commented "I never imagined when I was a young girl listening to them on the radio that I would outsell the Spice Girls and Celine Dion. It’s almost too much to take in. I can’t thank my fans enough for all their support."

LYRICS:

"Never Enough" By Katherine Jenkins

"Never Enough" (originally from "The Greatest Showman" film)

I'm trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way, can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now, can you hear it echoing?

Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause darling without you

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Tons of gold is still too little
These hands could hold the wold
But it'll never be enough
Never be enough
For me

Never, never
Never, never
Never
For me, for me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me, for me
For me

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Tons of gold is still too little
These hands could hold the wold
But it'll never be enough
Never be enough
For me

Never, never
Never, never
Never
For me, for me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me, for me
For me

For me
