Florence Foster Jenkins massacres Delibes 'Bell Song' !
Loading...
Uploaded by HappyApostate on Dec 10, 2008
The world's most delusional, Über-confident soprano frightens poor lolcats as she tackles Léo Delibes Bell Song from the opera Lakmé. Flo-Flo's accompanist was Mr. Cosmé McMoon, and one could only hope he was deaf. And yes! People paid to hear Florence sing at Carnegie Hall.
Enjoy.

I understand Jenkins was filthy rich. Figures, the studio obviously didn't give a shit if she could sing or not. Just pay the bill and everything is fine. What good is money if you can't have some fun. Jenkins probably didn't give a damned what people thought of her, and she sounds like she was enjoying herself too.

@GuinnBerger Madam Mari Lyn is another funny one, but not nearly at that level of awfulness.

@Zoykah Jo Stafford came close, as "Darlene Edwards," in the hilarious recordings she made with her husband Paul Weston as her accompanist "Jonathan Edwards." Not nearly as excruciating as poor Florence's efforts, but then Flo was a natural...

Impressive, if you're a fan of epic disasters. This is the musical version of the sinking of the Titanic, or the Krakatoa eruption.

I didn't think it was possible to sing so badly, even on purpose. I've tried, but no one can match her. You've got to be lost in tempo, pitch and have a mousy voice at the same time ; so difficult!

Outstanding. Incredible mastery of the microtones and compound rhythms.

Just when you think she can't sing worse, she does!
My poor ears!
I feel really sorry for the pianist.

What on earth? I just found out about her today and I am already rolling with laughter. If she was around today, she'd be an Idol reject that got a lot of attention.
