What is it about Katherine Jenkins voice that leaves me cold?

Beautiful voice, undeniably, but it does absolutely nothing for me. I watched Pop Star to Opera Star tonight, and one of the contestants sang 'One Fine Day' from Madame Butterfly - not brilliantly but good enough to give me the usual goosebumps I experience when I hear that particular aria, so I wondered if Katherine Jenkins, singing the same piece, would produce the same effect. A quick trip to YouTube - and no, she doesn't - but I can't think why. Does anyone else feel the same about her?

Michael McIntyre is all those things... but also, funny... :-)
I don't think she is a great singer, or that she has a beautiful voice. I'm sure the technicality is there, but it sounds unpleasant. But then, tbh, I can really enjoy singers who don't have the best technical voice in the world, but have some depth, emotion, sexiness... They are not always the same thing.
