| Hello. I'm going to leave you the scan of Argentinean journals and translations. These are many, so I'll take a few days to let all 'cause is not easy for me to translate from Spanish into English. Sorry. 
Traducción: Characters | Katherine Jenkins (29)
"I would like to record something with Lady Gaga"
The Welsh mezzo-soprano has sold 5 million albums and came to present the ninth. Susan Boyle, and spicy food.
Voice and beauty. Was a model, tourist guide and teacher of singing. She is engaged to the British TV host Gethin Jones.
A French blue dress full of folds, it embraces her with enthusiasm, with tanguera passion. (1)Something beyond another dress, fainted on furniture, reinforces the idea that this woman is dressed wrist. Microvest, wearing toy. The whole scene is, at some point, unreal. Like being inside the palace of the Barbie mezzo-soprano, in a fairytale hotel. Katherine Jenkins, a Cinderella blonde, came to present its ninth album, "Believe" and sang the Canadian anthem at the match between Argentine national team and that country.
The daughter of working parents, studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, was a model, tourist guide, voice teacher and in less than thirty years achieved fame and millions (it is considered one of the fortunes "sub 30" largest in the United Kingdom .) Engaged to British TV host Gethin Jones, she plans to devour the rest of the world if it were a lemon pie. Or something less caloric, judging by her habits quasi Tibetans: (Katherine):"It's that singing is not a profession, but a lifestyle. For example: when I'm singing I can not eat spicy foods, or drink alcohol. "
News: What a bore!
Katherine Jenkins: Yes, but still, it seems a small price for great things to sing with my voice. When I'm not singing I relax a little. The other night I went with my boyfriend to see a tango show and took a bit of champagne.
News: Before you had a modeling career?
Jenkins: I do not encourage them to call "race", it was some publicity work to pay me singing lessons, which in London are very, very expensive.
News: So?
Jenkins: boring. I did not enjoy at all. Being a model is just the complete opposite of being a singer. When you're the only model that matters is that you're skinny and you look good, but to be a singer you have to be healthy and eat well. I did it purely and exclusively to finance my expenses.
News: Are you as cerebral as it seems? To hear you one remembers that Madonna's tour: "Blonde Ambition."
Jenkins: (Laughs) Yes, I'm pretty ambitious, but I feel I'm at an incredible opportunity. You see, my dad very much enjoyed listening to me singing, and encouraged me with humor: "come on, Caty, that I can see you on TV singing" and so on. I was 15 when he died, and since then I felt I was doing all this for me but also as a tribute to him.
News: Why opera and no rock or pop?
Jenkins: I spent all my life singing, I joined the choir of a church and started to train my voice without realizing that was bringing in a "lyric", so to speak. At 14, a voice teacher recognized some potential, certain qualities, and told me to try with the classic.
News: And you said neither crazy ...
Jenkins: No, but I had never heard that kind of music. And I heard something and something very strange happened: I fell in love completely! Something made a "click". I do not come from a wealthy family and my fathers listened to Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, that sort of thing. Puccini zero, say (laughs). Still, it worked between opera and me. Vocalize every morning and singing in the shower to keep my voice in good shape.
News: I read that the first day of work with David Foster, producer of "Believe", his latest album, you ended up crying ...
Jenkins: David has a way of work very different from mine. I usually, when I enter the studio and I know exactly what songs to record, and in this case, nothing to see. I do not know exactly what I was going to sing, and we spent some time throwing ideas. But can that I proposed a Evanesence song and he told me: "What?! I do not think you can sing that! ". Let's say I felt a little bit down ... (laughter). Because this man had worked with the best voices in the world and if he told me I could not sing anything, it was terrible. I felt bad, I cried a lot and finally I said, "I'm going to prove that I can sing." And I did.
News: Do you think people classical world ever forgiven you have "crossed over" to pop?
Jenkins: I do not know, nor do I care. I do not my music for them and it is impossible to please everyone. Also, I do not think most conservatives in the classic are angry with me but with everybody. Also, note: I did not listen to classical music before, but when I had an unconventional way, I ended up falling in love with her. I think there are people who perceive the classic elitist and intimidating, but I want to show that music suitable for everyone, and can make it more popular. Especially if it is mixed with the pop to attract younger people. That is what happened with Andrea Bocelli.
News: The problem is that you said that you dreamed of singing in the Opera House in London, and perhaps that move you away from that dream.
Jenkins: Yes, but was thinking that I would have a more conventional career. Then I took another direction, I am pleased and it interested me more. Singing in the Opera House was one of my oldest dreams, not rule it out yet. I'd love be Carmen. For a soprano like me, is the dream role.
News: And what else dreams?
Jenkins: With a family, I come from a very large family and they are the most important thing I have. But not now, in a couple of years. Before I should settle down a bit, spend more time at home, I would not want to take my kids back and forth. And then back to work, of course.
News: Why do you want to record something with Lady Gaga?
Jenkins: Because I think a great artist. We recently participated together in a concert in honor of Queen Elizabeth and I found very interesting visually. I was in one of her essays and found that she takes her work very seriously. And sometimes it is good to do unexpected things, why not think of a song by Lady Gaga with a little opera?
News: And why not also with Susan Boyle?
Jenkins: No, that did not occurred to me. She as a phenomenon, she is so large that it is in her own bubble of events, tours and recordings. Maybe if we do something, I do not know. She is brilliant and also taught the world that we should not judge people by their appearance. (1):It means that the dress fits her tight, exuberant and very sexy, like a tango dancer. Bye. Cecilia.

| Hi, I leave you other note. 
Traducción: Title: "My sensuality is in my voice"
Highlighted:"It's hard to be cute. Can to drag you credibility and be counterproductive"
"People like to pigeonhole you as an artist, but I sing the material and classic pop songs my way. I'm happy to be in the middle of both worlds and I will adjust the portfolio. I can do operettas and arias, or something more popular. Critics believe that because I sing songs more familiar with my classical style, I can no longer singing opera. And they do not realize that, really, that can bring new audiences, especially young people, the world of classical music. It's hard to be cute. Can to drag you credibility and be counterproductive. My sensuality is in my voice "
Highlighted:"I do not know Argentina, but I'm very anxious to go. I would like to travel around the country"
"I must say that this is the most commercial of my work, but still classic. There's my way of singing, my education and also my excitement. I never imagined that I would take this course, but I'm happy has happened, and I hope they will someday cease to so much prejudice and I can fulfill my dream of singing opera at the Royal Opera House. " About the rumor of a romance between them, she says: "Michael is a great artist and a very talented for that I feel great respect and great admiration."
"I do not know Argentina, but I am very anxious to go. Recently I sang in Spanish. I hope that when I go, I can travel the country, because it is very important to me."
On what is her dream says: "Getting everyone feel like going to see an opera." I just translated what Katherine said in the magazine is what is in quotes and italics. The rest of the note says general things about the life of Katherine by way of introduction: where she was born, studies, career, etc.., nothing that we do not know yet. If something sounds crazy to you, is not Katherine, am I  , which I translated something wrong; let me know and I try to translate it differently. Bye. Cecilia.

Hi,I leave another scanner.If you do not understand something in the translation, let me know, because there may be errors because Katherine gave the interview in English and the journalist translated it to Spanish , but the Argentine Spanish  (with phrases typical of us) and to translate this back to English was a mess for me  I hope I have managed to actually translate what Katherine said.Any questions you have, consulted me, Ok? Highlighted in purple: "A long time ago that I wanted to know this country, Maradona and learn to dance the tango" "A long time ago that I wanted to know this country. I came to spread my new album, but also came to listen and try to learn to dance tango." Highlighted in purple:"I come from a humble home. I never imagined having luxurious life that I have today." Journalist: Why did you decide to jump from classical music to pop? Katherine: I did it because I think that classical music should be for everyone and because I know I can sing opera or pop with the same passion. Many people think that opera is only for the elite, but I think if you mix popular songs with lyrics can also be achieved experience "classic." J: Were you criticized for this opening? KJ: Yes, but I never cared. I did not have a position of privilege, and yet here I am singing opera. What I want to do with this album is to introduce people in the lyric and make them get to know it. And unfortunately when you try something elite becomes popular, critics are never good. J: How did you feel in your first show in Argentina?
KJ: I felt really good. The people here are warm and very friendly. All gave me a great welcome. I met amazing people, and I think it was a great start.
J: When you see everything you've accomplished How do you feel?
KJ: When looking at the road I have traveled I never cease to amaze me. I can not believe what happened to me, because I come from a very humble home. My mother worked in a hospital and my father, who is no longer with me, worked in a factory. I never imagined having the life I have.
J: What would be the advice of Katherine Jenkins to succeed?
You must nourish from experience, and creative people to help you grow. You must work hard, dedicate yourself strongly, and be disciplined. That is very important.
J: Is the discipline is even greater for a lyric singer?
KJ: Yes, I'm disciplined and I live focused on my work. There are certain things I can not do before a show, like eating spicy foods or drinking alcohol, even one week before singing. I can not smoke. I must be careful and moderate. My diet is based on eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. I can not go out at night to parties, or go dancing, because I have to sleep early and rest. But I do not care because I love singing, and thereby assume the responsibilities. J: You have worked as a model for years. Do you think that being pretty helped you?
KJ: I was always a girl who likes the glamour, dresses, makeup. I do not build an image to sell, I was already well-shipped (laughs). Why not use that beauty in a positive way? Is okay bring a little glamour and color to the opera, as it can sometimes be boring and rigid. J: Do you share this great moment with a love? (ARG: Love = Boyfriend = Couple[Clarified for me.Ceci])
KJ: Yes, I'm in a relationship and very very in love over the past two years.
J: What do you like doing when you're not singing? KJ: I work and I travel so much that when I can I enjoy being "normal" (laughs). If I'm at home I like to take my dogs for walks, go shopping. But what I enjoy doing is cooking, prepare a nice dinner and invite friends. I prepare fish, pasta, Italian food, but for now my new specialty is cakes. Lately I spend baking! Now I want to take a book with recipes from Argentina. I love to prepare these.  
 
Oh, and just translated what Katherine said, the rest is presentation, things of her career in general, and also say that she is very beautiful and very nice. Something that I found funny is that at the beginning of the note the journalist says she was talking to him struggling to speak English paused as clear as possible. And he adds: "The gesture, however cordial, reveals that the successful opera singer arrived for her first visit to Argentina, eager to add friends." Cecilia.

| Hi, I leave another scan. I'm almost done. It remains one that these days I'll post. As always I just translated what Katherine said, the rest is general information that we already know. 
“When I started studying I dreamed of getting somewhere in an opera company. I never dreamed that I would not only achieve, but also I end up signing a multimillion dollar contract to record my music."
"Honestly I do not know what the secret of my success was. I just wanted to convey to people my love for classical music through songs known by all. Now my next challenge is to do a duet with Lady Gaga"
"I've been called to do different jobs as a model, but not interest me. Even I was asked to pose nude for Playboy, but declined the offer because what I do it does not require that kind of publicity." "Not that I am timid, in fact I felt really good about my body, but I think that I could not face my family if I did that, especially my mom. She had been very angry. " "I'm not as angelic as I look. I consider myself, as good Cancerian, sensitive but very emotional, which sometimes gives me a strong and firm character (laughs)."
Talking about the songs Angel and Believe: "Both songs touched me the most intimate fibers and it move me very deep sensation. These songs connect me with my father who died when I was 15. “ Speaking about the attack in London when she was 19: "Every woman who has been through this experience I would say she should not be shut, and she must tell what happened. Eventually I acknowledge that it is possible to succeed, as I did” "Music was my main support, so I am now looking to bring joy to everyone who wants to listen it and need support, such as British soldiers who were sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, or solidarity in concerts to raise funds to combat cancer. At some point I would like to create my own foundation. " “I’m very in love but even this is no time for marriage and children. I want to be a good mother, and now my tours would not let me be." "Speaking of travel, now in Buenos Aires I did not want to miss anything. I hope at least I can take a tango lesson” In the Post # 34107, the first scanner that I post, is a drawing of a bag that reads: Restaurant: Summa, in London. Champagne: Crystal. Auto: Audi. Magazines: Vogue, Grazia, Hello, Ok. Clothing: Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen. Perfume: Mademoiselle, by Chanel. Cream: ersonName w:st="on" ProductID="La Prairie. Airline">LaPrairie. AirlineersonName>: BrithishAirways. Have a nice day. Chau! Cecilia.

| Hello, here I leave you the last scan with the translation of statements of Katherine. 
"The trip has me excited, Argentina is a place I always wanted to visit. I like its culture, I will be only five days, but for me it is an eternity. I do not tend to be in one place for so long, so that hopefully I can enjoy and see a little of everything. I'm dying to walk and I would love to take tango lessons. " Question: Recently you elicit comments on a photo with Michael Bublé. They'll follow you closely ...
KJ: Why a photo? Really? I know that his girlfriend is Argentina-laughing-, I saw her and she is beautiful. I know Michael because we both work with the same producer. Michael is brilliant, he's so funny, so talented ... but we're only friends. My boyfriend is Gethin Jones; he is British and TV host.
Q: What other things are written about you that are not true?
KJ: In principle, it bothers me that people tick me diva. Is one of the things that I read more in the press and I swear I'm not at all. Still, in the same way I like nice things people say to me. It's wonderful when someone tells you that they not feeling well and my music gave them strength. I answer every letterI get, take me a long time but I do, I am also in contact with them via twitter! Q: How much help being beautiful to success?
KJ: The beauty aid, but it is a double-edged sword. They force you to prove your worth, double that of any other person. They say that adds glamour to this type of music, but people are quick to discredit what you do. And I worked hard and it is unfair that they think I did it just for my image. Q: You just rejected an offer to pose for Playboy, was from shyness?
KJ: No, I did not do it 'cause it was not something relevant to my music. Also, my mom would have killed me. She is a good Welsh woman, the type of overprotective mother that she had instantly called to me: "You do not need to do that." And I just want her to be happy. Q: How is a typical day in your life?
KJ: I travel around the world, so that no day is similar to another. It is not a normal life, and I do so many things to take care of my voice, this became part of my routine and I do not even realize: I do not drink alcohol, I do not smoke, I take care of myself and try not to get tired ... I do not diet, I take care to eat well. I'm a vegetarian but eat fish, lots of fruit and gallons of water. Q: Do you go out for example at night to parties or dance?
I could go to a disco if I don’t had a recital in the week. I love going out at night and I like it with my friends, but I must plan ahead. I escaped with my friends when I have a day off. I have friends in the industry, but most are from before my success and they have conventional jobs. They can not believe what's going on, -she lagus-. Because when I was little I was not the kind of girl who made faces or attract attention. I sang with friends and family but I was shy and still I am but not like it. Speaking of the changes she introduced to classical music: "For my part, I enjoy adding a touch of glamour with long dresses, I incorporate well-known pop songs I sing it my way."
"I know that people have prejudices with opera and I am the first to disagree. This is music for everyone and should not intimidate anyone. I'm determined to make it popular. People do not usually connected with the opera, thinks it's for a few and they do not understand, but in reality the average person knows about it more than they think "" Surely they know the most famous melodies, maybe they do not know what name they have or who wrote them, but there are a lot of classical music around us. I found in the films, in telephone answering machines, in the ringtones. " "My teacher introduced me to the music, I had that luck. I myself was a teacher before my successful career, and it was great. Do not think I needed to be strict or be extra patient; it was not math or science. Nothing that bored!-She laughs-” Q: You bring yourself to The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, "You can imagine a future on Broadway? KJ: Maybe, but not now. It should be something with a classic side- as the Ghost ...- not so much a pop show. Dad and Mom always told me that I should have a plan B in case this does not work, and I can not believe what happened. Even if I had had success in the opera I would have achieved a small role, never this with albums and tours. It was all of a sudden, I am grateful and determined to have fun. This is the promotional posters that papered the streets of Argentina. The slogan says: Do you know that the angels sing? 
That's it, I'm finished, I hope you liked. Have a nice day!!! Cecilia.
