Courting attention: Katherine Jenkins continued her quest to conquer American by performing at the 2012 Country Christmas concert in Nashville, Tennessee She is becoming increasingly desperate to conquer America. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that opera singer Katherine Jenkins performed at a country music Christmas show on Saturday. The leather lunged 32-year-old gave it her all as she belted out a seasonal favourite for the special concert in Nashville, which will not be aired until December 20.
Show pony: Katherine's stunningly long train and striking red dress made sure all eyes were on her Dancing with the Stars contestant Katherine surely sees the appearance as another piece in the jigsaw as she tries to complete her audacious mission to be a big name in the US. And show pony that she is, she could not resist trying to outshine everyone else on the show by donning a show-stopping red dress with a spectacularly long train. But it seems she may have misjudged how easy it would be to win all the plaudits on the 2012 Country Christmas Concert, which is being shown on ABC. Red hot: The singing sensation looked in fabulous form as she took her final bow Big lungs: The opera favourite let them have it as she blasted out a song with her mezzo-soprano voice For the show's host Jennifer Nettles also donned a red dress, but her tight number was far more sparkly, and had double impact due to the fact it showed off her burgeoning baby bump. The Sugarland star also added plenty of spice to her performance, and seemed to be having a great time as she hammed it up for the cameras. The 38-year-old Duets star did not let being pregnant with her first child slow her down either, as she roped in a troupe of backing dancers to bring her routine to a new height of camp as she created a festival atmosphere for fans. Who needs maternity leave: But it was Jennifer Nettles everyone will be talking about as she showed off her baby bump in a similarly striking dress One way to garner attention: She made sure her routine was memorable by enlisting the services of a dancing troupe But they were far from the only big names who were filling the air with the sound of watered down commercial country. For Nicole Kidman's other half Keith Urban was also there with his Fender Stratocaster and his leather jacket to provide some eye candy for female country fans. But he had strong competition from American Idol winner Scottie McCreery who won glances after donning a Tony Blair-esque suit with open-neck shirt. And it appears soul singer John Legend may be getting ready to follow in Charley Pride's footsteps, as he also appeared, as did popular trio The Band Perry. Urban legend: Keith made sure he put on a good show by showing off his guitar playing skills source: dailymail
