One must feel sorry for this woman.

It's actually really hard to be funny, so thank you Florence for making me pee my pants :-D

@tonieprawda Er what?

The ideal match would have been FFJ and the Portsmouth Symphonia. Magic! Sadly different eras.

Heavens to Darlene Edwards! This woman's voice has to be heard to be believed! THANKS for posting...though my eardrums may never be the same. If Hyacinth Bucket tried to sing opera, this is probably what she'd sound like! Wasn't one of the toilets at the New York Metropolitan Opera named for her ???

At least she had good taste for music!!! All these young stupid singers of today are much worse than her!!!
-
Florence Foster Jenkins, the MirandaSings08 of her generation. LOLZ! The only difference is that Florence wasn't a character...

Un VRAI massacre!! Pas moyen de faire pire!!

@tonieprawda We listen to her because she is so bad it's funny, but also because of her delusions. As to nowadays, in her time she sold out Carnegie Hall and counted many famous people among her "admirers" including Caruso, Cole Porter and Gian Carlo Menotti. People loved to laugh at her then, and people love doing it now. In terms of harm to music I'd consider mediocrity of popera and tv talent shows far more harmful than this obviously bad singing.
Let it never be said that LACK OF TALENT cannot be trumped by sheer FORCE OF WILL and PASSION! RIP Florence! You live on for all the wrong reasons, but you still live on!

That's just it. Critics assailed her from all sides, and yet she persevered with a bullet-proof sense of her own talent. You could have sliced up her denial into enough planks to re-roof a barn.
