Amanda RoocroftThursday 11 September 2003
Opera singer Amanda Roocroft was the Royal Northern College of Music's star pupil. When she sang in a student production critics said they'd never before heard a voice like hers - it was a phenomenon. But then the critics turned mean.

Amanda joins Jenni to tell her about how much she regrets that early success and how she's learned to enjoy singing again.
