Florence Foster Jenkins - Bell Song from Lakmé

HORRIBLEEEEE!!!!!

Poor pianist!!!

Its just wonderful the way her voice not only wanders blithely off key .. it wanders out of the theater and starts selling hotdogs on the sidewalk! She was wealthy enough and brave enough to acheive her dream. How many of us would rent the Carnegie Hall and have the courage to stand up and er.. sing like this.?!!

I wouldn't wish anyones death as
a writer above does,the Times obit
carried a salient point -that as awful
she was and to much laughter,she
gave "her all" to the music, no
pretence at being a "diva" always
true to the music - something a
few of our celebrated opera stars
could make note of =Florence
served the music ,while many
opera stars use the music as
a vehicle to serve their fleeting
talents - a profound difference.
So when laughing do it with a
bit of kindness .She really tried.

She is supposed to have been so laughably bad, she is actually an okay amateur singer.

Bless that taxi driver who got her into that accident, because it was the best thing that could have happened to her singing! ...you know, besides her death.

You should be ashamed of yourself for being glad that happened. You only wish you were good enough to sing in Carnegie Hall. And to a packed house no less.

I admire her courage. And that's about it! :)

No, brentjohnpalmer, you don't need new tweeter, she realy sang like that!

actually admirable!!
