[Gazzara5]

Well, she wanted to sing real bad, and she worked hard and she sang - real bad.

[DivaDeb1234]

Well, let's see...Charles Mansion helped to murder innocent people in cold blood and Florence enjoyed singing opera...

If you compare them ..it's quite a stretch!

I have heard Florence sing...She was a coloratura soprano I believe...

[Nungirl238]

Am I the only one that LOL when she said "She was POLISHED!"

[pumpkins2smash]

this teaches you while you learn

[TigerLuver2k10]

@DivaDeb1234 hmm she tried to be- and I think most of us agree that she failed quite miserably. And the tragic thing is that she thought she was good because of the huge audiences that came to see her, but infact they came to see her cause she she was so blummin awful it was hilarious! i feel quite sorry for the woman to be honest xxx

[carcasonne1]

Come on, people. One cannot but love this woman with incredible desire to sing. Who cares for good singing. The world is full of talented singers. There is only one Florence Foster Jenkins!

Se trata de una fora de humor que sólo puede entender un versado en la ópera y en la música. Todo lo que hacía era una parodia una mascarada. Después vinieron las copias. Cantantes que hacen recitales y cantan arias y hacen todo con humor

[Anibaal]

No sé desde donde emiten tantos juicios "estéticos" sobre el "canto" de Yenkins. Me parece que no puede decirse mucho más que es una forma de humor muy exquisita y que ella sabía lo que hacía. ¿Tan difícil es comprender eso? No se trata de querer cantar bien o mal. No puede emitirse un tipo de juicio así. No quería competir con ninguna cantante de la época. ¿Pueden entender que era parte de un show? Una forma de humor que so

[aardvaark069]

Where oh where, dear readers is your humor.....she was terribly sublime. Doncha know.....

[DivaDeb1234]

Well, actually, if you read my comment, I never accused you of being jealous. I only said that "a person" might be jealous...not necessarily you! I also never said Jenkins had value as a "singer" As a singer she has little value, I agree. Jenkins value was in her ability to follow her dream with headstrong determination along with her savy politics. She was a marvel ! If I have offended you in anyway please know that it was never intentional.

"... a bit jealous of... ."

Do not assume. I'm as jealous of her as I'm jealous of a Bernie Madof. I played fair with you all along so I hope its not too much to ask for you not to play dirty.

"But I for one do not begrudge her..."

Good for you, but you failed to convince me the value of such a "singer."
