“Everyone said she couldn’t sing, but thay can never say she didn’t” ❤️❤️❤️

She was a genius at discovering notes never known to exist.

She may not have been the best singer but this lady had a PASSION AND I LOOOVE THAT

Even though she is an amature in opera and has no control in breath etc, I greatly admire her confidence even when she was mocked by thousands upon thousands of people even to this day! Godbless her cute, pure and passionate soul! rest in peace Madame Florence Foster Jenkins <3

I love her.  I read her bio.  She was a sweet and kind person and suffered severe health setbacks that didn't seem to slow her down.  Meryl Streep does a great job portraying her.

She had so much courage, not just in her performing, but living with the deadly disease she did most of her life.

There's something incredibly endearing about her.

At least she tried and did what she loved. People were so mean. She had syphillis and was very sick.  I love that she danced her dance!

What is really sad is that her tone deafness was a result of  the syphilis which she contracted on her wedding night from her husband. ..
“The disease apparently affected her hearing, giving her tinnitus. Some reports even say that was what prevented her from singing in tune.”
In her younger years she was a promising student in music.

The woman still had more talent than all five of the Kardashian/Jenner sisters (+ their mom, Old Lady
([Kris] Jenner) combined.

I honestly respect her so much. She had courage and heart. She did what she loved, unapologetically. It reminds me of the grannies singing in church: shrill, off-tune, and maybe off-beat, but so happy singing their hearts out. So lovely ❤

Occasionally, she would brush up against the correct note… but never make contact.

As a dancer, I view her as kind of an inspiration though. She looked like she was having the time of her life. Who cares about what people think. Reminding myself of her story helps to take the weight of worry off my shoulders a little bit. It’s just a dance after all.

It's like stepping back in time, unbelievable that these footage exists!  It's incredible stuff!

her voice was good enough for her, and people were willing to pay. Who''s laughing now?

Before there was Tommy Wiseau, and before there was Ed Wood, and before there was Tiny Tim, there was Florence Foster Jenkins. She was truly ahead of her time.

Florence Foster Jenkins promoted the organization and motivated the creation of social and civic groups that provided services to the military, soldiers returning from WW2, wounded, etc. Her inability to sing as well as she thought was tolerated and fans were not necessarily those of her music, but of her work in this area. She helped raise awareness and serious money for vets. They respected her and her actions. Those who gathered around her admired her desire to help others. Tickers were frequently given to soldiers and paid for by patrons of the arts and she was given access to some of the most respected opera halls in England and the USA.

This is so incredible. Thanks for posting. FFJ was not just a bad singer--she was a whole encyclopedia of wildly bad singing--a prodigy of bad taste and ineptitude--and her singing is so hilarious you can listen to it over and over and still be captivated and amazed. Most bad singing is merely sad and dull, but she made you feel like you were watching a fireworks show; it's dazzling in its badness.

This is a jewel! I adore this old lady, what a life.And good for her to dare to do what she wanted!

hyacinth bouquet is not far away when florence foster jenkins sings.
